To say it straight away: I bought this small heater not to replace a big order, but to operate it there, where much would oversized plain: Namely, when camping. In the regular heaters I always had the problem that they themselves on the small heat setting (1000W) had too much power for a tent. Why a fan heater in the tent? Well, to cold you could still sleeping bag. I am concerned here rather killed dehumidification. When evening and night crawls soil moisture in all the cracks, this small fan heater is much more powerful and by the way you have it equally warm. Very nice is also the small size, as it usually has little space. Another big plus is the low power consumption of about 3.2 ampere (736 W) (W 450) goes back on power, then even about 1.95 Amp.. Often, camps (esp. In southern Europe), the power connections only with 6 or max. 10 Amp. Fused. Not enough for a large heater. This little one is definitely there on the safe side. Last but not least would be because the cost of electricity. At just under 27 cents per kilowatt hour at my local electricity provider is about 12 cents per hour in the measured power consumption then this machine. Thus, it can be but live quite well. The processing and the plastics used to make a high-quality impression. Of course, the features in this device is very simple, but at this price, the part is still unbeatable. Perfect the device with a switchable cold air stage would have been to the, to cool more quickly during heating but strongly heated front grille can.
Pro and con: + Very compact + Low power consumption + Useful heat output + Ordinary processing + Beautiful design
- Lack of cold air stage - A little shaky seeming safety switch at the bottom - Less efficient fan and not particularly quiet
Conclusion: For my purpose perfectly and at this low price a very strong buy recommendation!
(By the way, a big compliment to the seller: Thursday ordered, delivered Friday I call fix.!
08/04/2014 Addendum: After six months, use of the heater, the initial positive impression has held. The device works very reliable and even the initially shaky-looking safety switch in the ground proves yet as stable and unproblematic. Meanwhile, the price is again fallen drastically since I could not resist and I 'like me still 2 times as a "reserve" ordered and placed "in stock". All in all, a great bargain!
