Question: Have you guys noticed a metallic/plastic smell when first plugging it in? Any advice? Does it wear off with use ?
Document: I have only had this heater a short while. I use it in my garage where my cats sleep. The features and quality appear to be outstanding. The first night I used it the temp in my garage was what the heater was set on. I do not need the rotating feature. To me it is very quite. Consumer Reports gave it a good review. It is not a large heater and would only serve one room.
This thing has a remote control; it's shipped with a plastic tab in the remote's battery compartment which needs to be removed, a battery-drain protection.
The unit gives off a very offensive odor, similar to hot or burning plastic. A tag was actually attached to the unit which talked about the odor and that over time it should dissipate.
i bought this product at costco before. my first buy was excellent no issues whatsoever! now i needed another one and check at amazon and good thank you amazon they have it!!! good price and still same quality as my first buy! thank you amazon for this kind of set up buying stuff online!!! keep it up!
I always read the Reviews as I find them very informative so as to help me pro/con it to help make my comparisons, and therefore, my decision to purchase. Our Master bathroom is now nice and warm, and we have minimized the risks of fire, which is the biggest concern, to an acceptable level whereby we are comfortable using such a heater in the first place.
My mother is 92 and used to crank the thermostat up to 80 every night. I bought her this heater based on a review in Consumer Reports. Now she can have her bedroom at 80 while I keep the rest of the house at 64. At $4.40 a gallon for heating oil, this thing paid for itself in the first month. It's small, it's quiet, it works, and it's a bargain.
Make sure you have the amps. This product blew our fuse everytime. The directions state that 10 amps are needed. Our fuse in the related area of the house15 amps. Basically, we could not run any other appliance at the same time (TV in our case).Otherwise, the unit was easy to start the first time (you have to screw on the little black base), easy to run, and provided toasty heat for the small room we had intended for it.
I bought this heater from another local retailer for a decent price. The tower is small and compact and comes with various feature that can come in handy when warming up a small room (200-300sq ft). The only problem it tripped my circuit breaker twice within a span of &lt;1 hour. The first time the circuit breaker got tripped I thought it may be from something else, but the second time I was sure since it happened in &lt;1hr of this heater running.
We use it for supplemental heat in our bathroom. It does a nice job. We like the remote and oscillation features.
We use this heater as a supplement for a large great room. It is performing well and we would recommend it to others.
Answer: There was a slight smell at first but it wore off. This is common in many electric heaters. I call it the newness smell. However if it continues to smell and the odor is strong there may be some defect. Possibly a piece of plastic stuck on the heating element inside. Give it a few days and let it run for a couple of hours.Keep a close watch on it.
