Sengoku HeatMate Portable Instant Heat Graphite Medium Tower Electric Heater for Small Areas in Homes, Offices, and Workshops, White

I work in an office that is always cold and have used several heaters over the years. I used to use a small heater that blew hot air. While warm, it was loud and I didn't like having the air blow at me. I switched to a parabolic electric heater (dish type) and that was nice only, it would make a buzzing noise when it heated. Also, if you had to reposition the heater while it was on, it would make a horrible noise. And, because I have the heater next to my chair, I was afraid of burning myself when I walked by it. None of these issues apply to this heater. It's completely silent, keeps me warm enough without being too hot in my office, and because of the slim profile, I can walk by without worrying that I'll burn myself. I can also lift it by the handle and move it while it's still on and it doesn't make any noise. Only 2 settings (low and high) but I find that these two are enough for what I need. Loved this heater so much that in the winter I take it home with me to use in my home office when working from home.

Quickly heats up with low amp draw. But that’s all I can say positive about it. I live in a small RV. It doesn’t take the edge of the cold in the tiny living room and my propane heater is kicking in just as much as without this heater. Why bother? Such a high price for nothing. One reviewer noted that the floor in front of the unit heats up and he was accurate so now I’m dubious about how safe this is. It did not arrive in an outer box just the “store” box. For $90-ish they can have it back. It definitely doesn’t heat even small space.

Nice reliable product. This is the second we bought.

I've had this product for about a year. All of the sudden, it stopped working. When I first bought this product, the price was around 35 dollars. Now the price is over 97 and I can't return it. I contacted customer support and they were not helpful at all. Don't waste your money on something built so cheap, yet sold at such an inflated price.

I have a trailer with no central heat, no propane or gas, and poor insulation. So, I need an electric heater that will not only heat my home adequately, but also safely. I was skeptical due to the much lower wattage than a regular space heater. Regular space heaters are 1500 watts on the highest setting; This heater is only 480 watts. Converting the watts to amps, regular space heaters draw 12.5 amps, while this heater only draws 4 amps. This is very important to know, because the circuit breakers in your home will be either 15 amps or 20 amps. That means, the breaker cannot handle more than that amount of amps, without tripping the breaker, or worse, starting a fire. So, since this heater only draws 4 amps, it's MUCH SAFER than a regular space heater. But even using that much less power, this thing puts out heat! In fact, just as much heat as a regular space heater. And it gets hot instantly, no waiting for it to warm up (like with radiators, they take a while). So, this will not only save on my electric bill, it makes it MUCH SAFER for me to heat my home at night in the winter.

Wowsa!!! Just what I wanted. Low heat output, very wide stable base, super low amperage draw. For the small bathroom in our motorhome. The instructions about 3 ft clearance behind it is silly, it doesn't even get warm to the side or behind, only in front. A tad spendy but in ten years if I'm still using it the price will be right. Electrical Cost on high approx a nickle an hour. I would have given it a 5, except I've not had the critter very long.

I bought this for my son's room...it's a 8x12 space so it's not very big. I wasn't impressed with how long it took the heater to warm up. Even though it's a small space, it took a long time for it to heat up the room. When it finally heat up to its maximum, it took about 50 minutes to really feel the heat. For the money, it doesn't seem to be worth it.

I have now purchased three of these very efficient and quiet units over two years. All have had daily Maryland Mid Atlantic U.S.A. area Cold Weather Seasonal use mostly on the low setting. Like many have commented here, I repeat the same that infrared heat only heats one side of your body. To improve on heat distribution and perceived comfort, I now have these heating units elevated off of the floor and resting on the bottom of an upside-down 30 Quart Turkey Fryer Aluminum Stock Pot. This makes for a VERY Stable floor stand. Plus and SO...!!!....Much improved upper body heating comfort as a result. Before resting the heaters elevated, when the heater was on the floor my concern was that my legs were scalding hot and my chest area was cold, and back area very cold. Also another concern was that the floor area within the infrared heater's focused heat beam would get very warm to the touch of the palm of my hand when pressed to that area of the floor.
