Description of Holmes HQH307 Tower Quartz Heater
Tall quartz tower heater that combines the best of both worlds. Two pure quartz tubes deliver instant radiant heat that feels like the sun. A MaxFlow fan pushes heat further into the room. Comfort control thermostat lets you adjust the heat to precisely what you want.Bask in instant penetrating heat with this large floor heater. Thanks to its patented MaxFlow fan system, the heater radiates immediate warmth without causing a draft, and because the case is slightly angled back, the heat is projected up and outward to warm an entire room. Two quartz elements glow red, alerting users that the front grill is hot and should not be touched. The heater can be set to low power (750 watts) or high (1500 watts), and the thermostat adjusted to a personal comfort level. At lower settings, the heater will cycle on and off to maintain the desired temperature. If accidentally knocked over or if overheating occurs, the heater instantly turns off. Despite measuring a generous 23 by 12 by 9 inches, the heater is lightweight and easily carried by one hand. Holmes covers this heater with a 6-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Holmes HQH307 Tower Quartz Heater
Customer Review: The Best Inexpensive Heater I've Found
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like the Holmes HQH307 quartz heater. I use it to warm up my master bathroom in the morning. I turn it on before I hop in the shower. By the time I get out of the shower, the bathroom is toasty warm and I can stand in front of the heater while drying off.
I went through several other heaters over a three year period before settling on this one. I've used two different ceramic heaters, one was a low cube and one was a tower. Neither one of those put out as much heat as I wanted yet they consumed a lot of electricity. Then I tried a parabolic heater. It was much more efficient, but the beam of heat was too narrow. It would heat a portion of my body too much and the rest not enough. It wouldn't heat the room at all.
I've had my HQH307 for about three months which is long enough to verify that it doesn't cost as much to use as the ceramic heaters did, yet it puts out a lot more heat. The internal fan is powerful, but it's also pretty loud. For my purpose in the bathroom, that's not a problem. The fan setup is well designed: It pulls air in from the top and pushes it out the front between the heating elements which heats up the whole bathroom rather easily. The heating elements rattle a bit during the first few seconds of warming up, but that is standard on quarts heaters. The rattle goes away almost immediately.
The lifting handle molded into the back of the case is in a good location and stays cool. Don't mistake the bar across the front for a handle because it gets HOT!! It's just there to keep the front of the heater off the floor in case of a tip-over. I like the manual controls on the top of the heater. One turns the heater to low or high and the other adjusts the variable temperature control. Simple and foolproof.
The Holmes HQH307 quartz heater is a great value and I recommend it without hesitation.
NOTE: I also own a Holmes HQH319U quartz heater which is about $20 more. It has the same housing and heating elements, but the fan is quieter and the controls are digital. You might consider it if you want a powerful and efficient heater that's not as loud.
