DR. INFRARED HEATER DR-978 New Upgraded Dual Heating Hybrid Portable Infrared Space Heater, 1500W with Remote

For those who don’t know, all outlet space heaters are capped to 1500w maximum in the US. None of them really differ from each other they all produce the same amount of heat. NORMAL space heaters you see heat the AIR via convection. They warm the air, the air warms you. THIS heater heats not only through convection but ALSO radiation which is the same heat you feel from a fire outdoors. Radiation directly heats YOU and your clothes and anything in-front of it. You will feel MUCH more heat from this than your average space heater. It’s worth the price with a solid name brand company who stands behind their products. 5/5

I decided to put it on a little stand and not use the legs. Very easy to use. It worked and started to heat immediately. Very different heat. Very warm. Too warm. I usually try to heat my room to 70. I am older now and like it a little warmer. But cannot afford to turn on my entire house a/c heat strip. Electric bill was outrageous. I always used my propane fireplace. After the old one going bad and having carbon monoxide poisoning twice, i bought a new one . Well, $2000 later, the installer did something wrong and carbon monoxide poisoning again, the logs were buring. I had them take it out. But there was nothing like the heat of fire. The heat strip forced air just didnt warm up the house. It just blows air through the cold air. I never felt warm. I installed an electric fire place heater with a beautiful fake fireplace. It is great for spring and fall, but not for temps below 35. The house heater would turn on when the temperature in the house went below 65. Or else the house would never be able to warm up again . The fireplace could heat it right away, but not now. And i would keep the house on 59 at night. That is why i tried this little infrared hybred heater. It was wonderful last night. At 70, my living room/kitchen go too hot. I felt warm, not just the air around me. Set at 65 last night, I saw it go off and on. Test itself. Kept the room perfect. I sleep in the living room . In the morning, it was not freezing cold, the room temperature shows 68, the machine 65. Objects feel warmer, like my house phone. It is very plesant. The area i am heating is about 400 sq ft. Very comfortable. If i need to take a shower and go to the bedroom, I'll turn on the house heat, but thats only for a little while. I will try to turn this machine up and see how far this heat will travel through my little 1000 sq ft house . But for now, im just testing where i mainly stay and closing off the 3 rooms i don't use . It is quiet, there was never an original burn off odor, directions are easy to follow. I used ECO mode. The stand i used was so it was a little higher off the floor and i believe to make it more steady. Lets see how it does throughout the winter here in the mountains of NC. So far, i like it and not a bad price .

Good little heater, small footprint, and heats well. Its used at the job and doesn't trip the circuit breaker. Very satisfied with its performance.

It was helpful to get this as next day shipping while furnace was down. Sale Price was reasonable. I prefer it’s small footprint and look to the wood look cabinet designed one. It adequately heats my general living area and the fan is reasonably quiet at about 46 decibels up close and 35 decibels 9ft away( rated using an app on my phone). Cool to touch. Longevity TBD.

I am very pleased with this purchase . The unit is sturdy and of good quality. The retro design also goes well with my decor. I had previously ordered two other "label" brands that cost well over $300 dollars that didn't add up to the hype. This unit survived the test on some of the coldesn't days in NC with a steady flow of heat. I purchased it to supplement the heating source in the family room which has a large open space with french doors. I run the heater on eco setting btw the range of 68 and 70. It actually heats the area fast and the heating system will not come on due to the temperature rising throughout the home. I usually will let the heater run 2-4 hour intervals. It also has a timer that can be set w/ a standby mode. I would actually purchase another one. This unit is a good value for the money.

This heater does a super job. I like that it seems to have a mind of it's own! Just set it on eco mode and your room temp for 68 degrees and you are set. My husband says it is the best space heater we have ever had.

Incredible machine, heats up the room very quickly without drying the air or making it stale like electric heaters do. Super easy set-up and operation, and I love the little remote control that comes with it. Great job Dr. Infrared!
