Tools and Hardware Reviews of Optimus H-4110 9-Inch Dish Heater
Customer Review: Good for heating a small area
Summary: 4 Stars
Do not overestimate the size of this heater. It is very small, but the parabolic dish causes the heat to spread as the distance increases. I do not recommend purchasing a radiant heater without a parabolic dish since it does not allow the heat to spread out to a larger area. The most important thing to understand about this heater is that you will find it difficult if not impossible to heat your entire body with just this one heater. Therefore, I only use it at night next to my bed to heat my head while the rest of my body stays warm under the blankets. I feel it is an excellent solution for this problem. The heater puts out some light, but not enough to keep me awake. Since radiant heat is highly directional (think "ray-diant" heat), you may want more than one, but one works for me.Customer Review: Good heater for under desk
Summary: 4 Stars
This heater is perfect for under your desk. Only 300W so it doesn't trip the breakers. This heater won't "cook" your legs like some will. Do keep it 1-2 feet away from things. I had it sitting on a stool under my desk w/ about 8" above the heater and the top of my desk started getting hot. Even sitting directly on the floor, the underside of my desk right above the heater gets pretty warm. No fan means the heat doesn't get blown out, it just rises and collects under the desk. But it is nice and quiet so the building people aren't complaining about my "heater" - they don't even know it is there... This would not be a good room heater unless it was a very small room and you stay right in front of it. Overall a good cheap heater.Customer Review: good little heater...
Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking for a good little heater for one room in my house and this is the perfect one...yeah, if you use it in a big area, it's ineffective, but what do you really expect?
I really didn't want a 1500 watt waste of power heater, so this little 300 watt one is perfect for my needs. It will heat a small room slowly without an issue and it has decent safety features. In addition, it's safe around kids and pets (no dangerous fumes or anything). Oh, at 300 watts, it also won't raise your energy bill like the bigger ones...
I like this little heater...it gets the job done...and for the price, it's a no-brainer.
Enjoy your little piece of warmth!
Customer Review: No thermostat -- otherwise, it's ideal for its purpose.
Summary: 4 Stars
The lack of a thermostat is the only negative about this product. The positives:
1) No fan means it's silent.
2) The parabolic reflector directs the heat just where you want it.
3) Only 300 watts means a great saving in electric bills.
4) This is intended to heat a corner of a room or some other small space. Why pay to heat an entire room if you don't need to?
5) The purchase price is very attractive.
6) The heater was delivered promptly and in perfect condition.
Of course, all heaters must be used with caution. Read the enclosed safety instructions and heed them.
Customer Review: Be prepared to hug it..
Summary: 4 Stars
Not because its cuddly and soft, but because this thing will not "reach" far if youre in a very cold room. I live in Central New York with only nominally working central heat which keeps the rooms above 45 at best, and this thing will work from maybe 3-5 feet away, probably better if it were closer, or if the temperature wasnt so terribly cold. However, with the low power consumption, I dont have to worry about it tripping the breakers or killing my wallet come the utility bill, when my desktop power supply uses more power than this thing!
