Customer Review: Why I Bought & Like These Cyclonic Ceramic Room Heaters
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a 1452 sq ft two story town home with built in heating and air conditioning. When winter or summer temperatures are mild this system works reasonable well, but several of the past year's higher and lower temperatures have exceeded the capacity of this built in system. I, like some 350 residents of this community, have had to accept considerably less than the performance for we feel we paid. However, the builder says he's broke; so what to do...?
Although I've been considering a number of options one of my recent electric bills for summer hiked by summer air-conditioning was within pennies of $250.00 so it became obvious that a cold winter could be just as bad if not worse. I called the electric company not so much to complain but to ask for a home energy survey to see what my options were. Although there were a couple of good suggestions, there were no surprises; my heating and air-conditioning system was performing according to spec's with an upgrade anticipated to be something like $7,000.00 (installed).
I bought a portable 14,000 btu air-conditioner that works well, but I've put it on the back burner given that summer has past and winter has come in with fairly chilly temperatures (today's high will be 41 and the low 28). So that's the background of my situation.
In my initial survey I looked at a number of options and concluded that I wanted portable space heaters that did not have exterior heating elements by which I might be burned or start a fire. I settled on the concept of the Eden Pure heaters, but was dismayed at their price, for which I see no justification considering the price of components. Consequently, I continued looking and after a couple of bad experiences found these Cyclonic Ceramic Room Heaters. My thinking was and is that regardless of the interior workings of the Eden Pure heaters (and I'm not picking on them but just pointing out my thinking), the net result of what goes on is that air is heated internally and exhausted externally. How the heat is heated doesn't change the fact that the air is sucked in, heated, and blown out - and the exterior surfaces remain cool.
After purchasing 2 units, I then purchased two more. One for each of two upstairs rooms and 2 for downstairs. I set the temperatures for all four units to 68 degrees and haven't changed them, seeing no need to do so. Now, with these four units the ones that run are the ones that need to run while the others remain silent. This is one of the flaws of my built in heating and air-conditioning; one downstairs thermostat causes some areas to be too cool while other areas get too warm.
68 degrees is fine for sleeping but on cloudy days, I slip on a second heavy shirt. On sunny days the temperature raises up to the mid to upper 70's during which time the heaters are silent. Were I to use the built-in system, it would be running pretty much non-stop even on sunny days at today's temperatures. I might mention that it's really nice to be able to feel real heat coming out of my portable heaters as compared to only a 5-7 degree delta between intake and output of my built-in system. I also like the fact that my portable heaters are sucking in the lower cold air and exhausting the heated air in the direction of my individual choice. Conversely, my built-in units suck in the heated air in the top of the room/unit and exhaust the heated air in the top of the room. There's a big difference in how the room feels when it's warmed uniformly.
Now, insofar as electric bills, when I first installed these portable heaters the temperatures were not cold enough for them to operate, so my $110.00 electric bill was understandable. However, it was the least of all of my electric bills since I purchased this town home. This was largely because I have completely shutdown my built-in system which would have otherwise been running at least intermittently even on what could be considered perfect 65-75 outside temperature days. Most of this month's electric bill will cover a fairly normal winter bill but I won't receive it for another couple of weeks. I'm pretty certain, however, that although it will be more than $110.00, it too will be considerably less than the $250.00 it would likely be using my built-in system given that these portable heaters just don't run very much - they don't need to. They just turn on when the temperature in their part of my home drops below 68 and warm the room up to 70 degrees and shut off.
There is one downside of these units and that is that they are noisy in an unfortunate way. That is, when they first start operating, they run smoothly and at noise levels equal to or perhaps a bit less than my built-in system. That would be fine if they stayed that way, but they don't. Instead, like many fans, after operating for awhile the noise begins to oscillate in a way I find annoying. That is, after perhaps a minute of smooth oscillation, they go into what I can only describe as random, wobbly, oscillation. So, while I much prefer these units over the radiate oil filled units that make almost no noise except when their heating units click on and click off, I hope for a day when the manufacturers devise a better fan mechanism. I know they can because my portable air condition does not have any such oscillating noise.
Soooo, net, net, I know of no better alternative than these units unless perchance Eden Pure or some similar units don't have the oscillating noise and you can accept their cost.
