Product Description
The Dr. Infrared Heater's Advanced Dual Heating System, combining PTC and Quartz Infrared Element, keeps you warm this winter while saving on heating bills. Equipped with a Dual Heating System and High Velocity Low Noise blower, the Dr. Infrared Heater increases the heat distribution and the result is heating your room to a comfortable temperature, fast. The Dr. Infrared Heater is certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) USA and Canada, ensuring the highest safety standard. The Dr. Infrared Heater is perfectly safe around children and pets and only gets warm to the touch. It does not have exposed heating elements that can cause a fire. The Dr. Infrared Heater comes with Energy saving Auto Mode, high and low setting when the mode is set to Auto, the unit will cycle on and off and switch between high or low setting to maintain the desired temperature setting. All Dr. Infrared heaters are engineered and designed in the USA. How is Dr. Heater Different from Other Heaters? Dr. Heater uses infrared heating, which heats objects in the room, instantly making you feel comfortably warm. By heating only the objects in the space--not the air--Dr. Heater provides maximum warmth and energy efficiency. With its state-of-the-art technology that helps the room retain air moisture, Dr. Heater do not dry out your skin like those convection heaters that blast out hot air, stripping the room of moisture. And the best part? It will save you money. Use Dr. Heater instead of your regular heating system, and you could save up to 50% on your next electricity bill. Plus, with its tip-over protection and auto shut-off overheat protection, you can sleep soundly knowing you have got a heater that is superior in safety. Tests Show Dr. Heater heats Faster and Better than Competing Heaters. In a side-by-side test comparison in airtight chambers with the same starting temperature, Dr. Heater heated the same amount of space much faster than a competing heater that has a price tag more than double that of Dr. Heater. Dr. Heater Delivers 60% more heat than other 1500-watt heaters. No magic trick--we just understand heat transfer better. Just because two heaters have the same wattage does not mean they transfer the same amount of heat. Wattage indicates the amount of electricity needed to power the heater--not the amount of heat it can deliver. Heater is the first to feature a dual heating system for maximum heat transfer rate. It combines the energy efficiency of infrared heat with the comfort of convection heat to heat your room fast and comfortably--without hot spots and cold spots. Dr. Heater uses a state-of-the-art 7-inch blower that generates higher pressure and moves larger air volume at a lower speed, without any of the noise of those other heaters on the market. Dr. Infrared Heater has three power Settings: Auto, Low 1000W and High 1500W. The auto energy saving mode allows you to set your desired temperature from 50-86F. It smartly selects between the two settings depending on your room temperature. The thermostat regulates the heater and causes it to cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature. You can also manually set the heater to run on High or Low all the time or with a timer. The heater has to be turned on first in order to use the remote. This a safety provision mandated by the Underwriters Laboratory. So, in order to use the remote, the first step for the user is to press the POWER button on the heater itself. This turns the heater on STANDBY. Then, pressing the POWER button on the remote will turn the heater on. The heater can't be turned on if the unit is not on STANDBY.

The important stuff:
1. The heater is relatively quiet. You can hear it, but it is just quiet background noise. You don't need to speak louder and we don't need to turn up the TV volume.
2. The heater does a good job of maintaining a set temperature automatically. It will shut off at temperature and only turn on as needed to maintain the setting. It will initially kick in with higher heat and faster fan speed (still quiet) and then adjust both downward as the space warms.
3. The heater housing remains cool to the touch. The manual controls on the front of the heater are also room temperature even when the heat is blasting. I've never needed to use them other than turning it on the first time, so I had to make a point of checking this.
4. I have not really tested the safety features, but the heater is low to the floor, reasonably heavy, and on casters that don't roll w/o effort if placed on carpet. You would really have to manhandle this thing to get it to tip over. A casual bump or accidental shove will do no harm. It would move on the casters before it would tip over. There is a bit of clearance between the bottom of the unit and the carpet and the bottom of the unit doesn't get hot.
5. We've had it running in automatic/temp mode for a couple of months during a very cold spell and I have not noticed any substantive change in our electric bill.
6. The power cord is long enough that you should be able to reach an outlet and keep the heater out of the way regardless of your room configuration. The overall size of the heater is also small enough that it should not be very noticeable. Ours sits between an end table and a decorative floor lamp at one end of a sofa between the living and dining areas. You can see that it is there, but it does not look out of place and it doesn't jump out and scream 'look at the space heater!'.
7. It is very easy to use. The remote works fine and seems to have pretty good range. Once we turned it on and set it at a comfortable temperature, we haven't really touched it. If you need to mess with it you can, and it is easy, but this is completely unnecessary in my opinion. I played with the remote once or twice just because, but that's all. Set and forget.
8. Finish on the cabinet seems pretty durable. We haven't spilled anything on it (yet), but it is easy to clean and seems to tolerate typical cleaning products w/o issue. I'd treat it like any piece of finished wood like a coffee table or dining room table. If you place it out of the traffic areas, spills probably won't happen and a periodic dusting or wipe down is all you'd need to do.
Summary: I wish we had gotten this sooner. It is safe, quiet, does a great job, and isn't ugly. Running in automatic mode has not impacted our electric bill. If I needed another, I would buy this again. If you are looking for a space heater for anything other than a shop space, I definitely recommend it. I suspect this would be fine in a shop environment, but I'd probably choose something built specifically for that purpose.
I like the ascetic and size. I only need it to heat a small room so I can't speak for it's performance in a large space. The wheels make moving around very easy.
It's not heavy but could be for an elderly person.
The outside of the unit does not get hot but the front grate does, understandable as it's blowing out hot heat :)
The only things I don't care for are it's a bit louder than I anticipated. Which is an issue because it's used in a bedroom.
When the heater is not actively blowing heat, it does have a feature that turns on the blower every 5 minutes to measure air temp, but it's a bit loud. It can be set to 'night' which delays the blower temp check to 20 minute intervals instead of 5 minutes intervals. However, for a light sleeper it still can be an issue.
I'd much prefer no blower temp check because it already has an internal thermostat that automatically registers temperature and turns on the heater when the ambient temp falls below the set heater temperature.
I find the whole air measure thing pointless and would prefer a way to disable that feature and only rely on the internal thermostat.
It has a standby feature which I do use. It basically puts the device into sleep mode without having to shut the whole thing down. It comes in handy because you need to reset your desired temp every time it's shut off. And with standby mode it will not perform the blower temp check.
It has no presets but that's not an important thing for me and I find it very easy to set my desired temp when I turn it on.
The heater does come with a remote which I find tremendously helpful and was a big selling point for me as it's for a bedroom.
I would have given 5 stars if the blower was quieter and if the 'not in use blower temp check' could be disabled.

UPDATE
been over 1 year of use still works as advertised keeps the room at a steady 71 degrees cycles on and off every once in a while but fan is quiet have to be listening for it to be noticed . no more cold spots in the room with this heater running , no noticeable increase in electric bill it might be a bit lower as the baseboard heaters are working less often
2ND YEAR OF USE STILL WORKING WELL HEATS my 30x16 room easily keeps it at a steady 72 degrees , puts out plenty of heat keeps my garage at 54 all winter , heating bills have gone down since replacing the old industrial heater with this . with tis heater room is a constant 38 to 42 percent humidity , when using the baseboard heaters humidity drops to between 25 and 34 percent . will be buying another for the basement , much better than the old baseboard heaters in there now.
Update 2 , bought a second unit to use in the basement , heats up very quickly keeps the basement at a constant 68 degrees , when you use in econo mode it cycles on and off once in a while to test ambient temp if the temp is lower than 68 it turns on the heat if not is shuts down , people have commented that it cycles on and off , that is the reason for the cycling on and off to see if the temp is low enough that it needs to turn on heater , it is quiet so the cycling on or off should not bother you unless the heater is within a few feet of you , so far very pleased with these heaters
mow have 3 heaters , these are the best space heaters i've ever used , i find them super quiet maybe the others complaining of being loud have bad units , the 3 i have are just about silent not disturbing at all worth the money , hydro bill has gone down as well .
forgot to add it heats up very quickly , have one at the entrance to my house after shoveling snow i sit in front of the heater for a minute or 2 and i'm warm great way to defrost
