I wish the fake ads for this thing didn't have 10 times more views than your video. I came here because I saw an ad for a supposedly 129€ "EquiWarm Pro", which is only sold on the "official website", but even their advertisement video had the box in it saying "Handy Heater Turbo 800". What a scam. Thanks for the teardown!
Think I saw the same ad. Just for reference. I live in the Flemish (Dutch) part of Belgium, and the ad talked about how "2 Dutch engineers of the major dutch energy companies" invented it. It has "scam" written all over it, but I wanted to look it up all the same.🤣 Any chance yours was similar?
@@thomasvertommen9526 Yes, they generate random engineer names looking at common names in the target country from what I can tell. Rest was exactly the same.
@@thomasvertommen9526 Yeah same, I live in the Netherlands but my work VPN puts me on Belgium youtube. Apparantly they feel this will resonate with Belgians more ? haha. But they keep boasting about how in minutes it boost the room temp from 7c to 20c. The amount of energy needed for that is enormous, but this plugin fan will do it in minutes at 800w. lol. And the technique? Ceramic heating element! ceramic! Basicly all these youtube ads are scams, you can spot them from miles away
Here in Denmark, the Equiwarm Pro ads (wchich I am getting spammed with on RUclips) speak of "two Danish engineers" as the inventors. It really screams scam, so I was glad to find at least this one video/comment section exposing them.
Did you have to open it with a screw driver or did you just pop it open because my not working I want to see why it comes on but nothing comes out like it’s disconnected?
If u hold down power button after you initially press it to power it up it goes into "CC" Mode which basically from my testing puts it into a continuous heating. Bypassing timer and thermostat. A feature that I couldn't find listed on any manual or RUclips video.
Thanks for the heads up, I might of accidentally turned that on, when I tried to power it up, I did see a "CC" display reading and was wondering what that was.... How do you get it back to normal because mine won't shut off even if I change the temp? Thanks.... This is why I bought it so I can set and leave it...
Well that was short lived, the lube job I did on my handy hear has failed and the fan is making noise again. I will need to find a new fan for it. I took mine apart too and did find a model # on the fan but it lead to many 7015 style fan. I'm not sure of this fan is a 120mm fan or a 60mm fan.
I love this little device and have been using it for about two weeks now. Has been working great yet. It stopped working yesterday and started blowing hot air. Can you direct me as to how I can fix it myself? Thank you so much for any, and all information!
Why didn't you show the line voltage and your room temperature ?? ALSO, the ground pin assures that the hot leg goes to circuit. And prevents the possibility of of inverting the BB unit and p loo bugging it into a 250V outlet !!!! Show the WHOLE picture !!! Not just selected parts!!!
@@berkscountymetaldetecting4347 You should have called your credit card company and claimed fraud within 30 days. Usually you have 60 days to do so. I don't care what the seller says.
Yes, mine has been working great for two weeks and then all of a sudden started blowing cold air two nights ago. Can anybody tell me how to fix it myself?
I have one of these and the 12v computer fan they use inside was making noise so I put some 3 in 1 oil in the fan bearings and it's good as new. Don't use this with the presto plug as it is enough to pop the 5 amp fuse inside.
The fan blows continously to circulate air and read air temperatures. If you listen closely you can hear it cycling on and off. At a low setting you can feel the air cool and hear a click and it heats up quickly.

@@thomasvertommen9526 That's how I got here too. They will change heating for ever. 🤣 The cheapest hair dryer will probably work better.

Fascinating, shame they’re ripping people off from the get go. Love your teaching style, I was actually able to keep up with what you’re saying

where is the sensor button

You forgot to consider that it is 120V AC, so you have to calculate the RMS voltage first.
Hmm indeed, I concur.

Isn’t it supposed to blow hot air?
🔥🔥🔥
I got 2 in two week the first one stop producing heat the secound one did the same thing only cold air why do you know ?
I’m guessing a fuse. Be interesting to take a look at for a repair video

Mine stopped blowing air. Does it have a reset button?
Am getting C C on my display screen. Take it as some type of temp pre warning?
No, if you hold the power button it goes into cc mode and will not shut off even if it gets hot, you should be able to hold it again to shut it off.
thanks for providing this information ... sorry that it was a rip off

I just bought mine and it always stays on even if I change the temp setting, going to return it....

Mine stopped blowing hot air, whats wrong with it?
