All these electric heaters cost the same to operate since they are all limited to 1500 watts. I like the bigger infrared heaters in my workshop because they project the heat several feet away. I also like the larger size because it's more visible and less likely to get kicked around. Another advantage of the infrared heaters is that they do not clog up as fast with dust and cat hairs, which are common in my abode. Finally, since we live in Las Vegas, we often put one or two heaters outside to augment he heat from the firepit. It's nice to sit near the heater and absorb the infrared rays. Infrared rays transfer all the heat by radiation, just like the sun.
hi there, most things these days seem to break down super quick so my question is this. In terms of technology, do quartz heaters last a bit longer than ceramic because it's just metal tubes heating up, or do ceramic heaters fail less because it's just ceramic heating up? I know other things might be at play such as circuit boards but I need a general, shallow path.
I've had quartz,oil filled and ceramic.All 1500 watts.The quartz was by far the best.The oil filled was the most expensive to run and the ceramic came in dead last with the least amount of heat.This isn't a fashion show.It's about heat.
Your right Im thing well he's not saying is what happens when the power goes out like they turn your electric off for a second and then they turn back on oh guess what the other heater doesn't turn back on The other one the is analog it will turn back on and then you ever had the digital ones and you wake up and it's the room is freaking freezing cold that's why cuz it didn't turn back on
Yes quarts heaters are definitely the best, and have been proven to use less energy while running then ceramic heaters. The quartz heater costs more to buy because it's a much better heater... to get what you pay for.
.A quartz heater is about the best heater you can have for spot heating a certain area, if there’s a draft or cold air coming in from under the door you can’t do better than a quartz heater because it’s concentrated heat it will hit you where you’re sitting. A ceramic heater on the other hand is not very good at spot heating it will tend to heat up the whole room which does not help you in a drafty area or a cool spot in the room, the whole room has to be heated first before you feel the warmth. By the way quartz heaters do not dry the air, ceramic heaters do dry the air. Because the air that’s being heated goes over a glass tube it does not dry the air whereas a ceramic heater the air goes through the ceramic so it dries your air.
No heater dries out the air, in order to dry the air you need to use cold surfaces like that in an airconditioner, water will condense on the cold surface, clearly you must have failed science class.
@@Kyle-ut4jg I’m afraid you failed miserably if you put an electric coil heater in a room within a few minutes you will see the humidity drop in that room you could test it in the bathroom if you need to. Same as how could a kid does it with a science project. By the way that’s why they sell humidifiers in the winter time because even regular house heat dries the air so much that we need humidifiers to make them comfortable again da!
Apparently a black grill will yoink like 10% of the heat, but THAT grill reminds me of the little circles on microwave doors that are the perfect size to prevent the microwaves from escaping. So much grill going on lol. After some deliberation, I have decided that a ceramic heater in best for the bathroom (heating the room itself), and an infrared/radiant heater is best for when I'm at the computer. The room is too large to heat the air up (like what a ceramic heater does), so infrared is the best option for keeping me warm. Infrared is more energy efficient for the same level of human-heating. Another thing is ceramic heaters have this sharp upwards curve with where the heat coming out of it goes, which is annoying, because your feet are often cold. If you have it on low heat, it won't reach your upper body, so you need to have it much closer, cooking your legs only. Plus the air coming out of it is often very narrow. If you have it on high heat, it's pretty good! you can have it farther away and also that way the air coming out of it is much wider, as far as what it touches. The only issue is that you're then cranking it at full watts, which I don't really want to do, due to the energy consumption. So then there's infrared. The area of heat is generally far wider (much more cosy), I like that it's silent, and the infrared (with the right design) reflects a good STRAIGHT distance, also unaffected by wind (I like to have a fan on as background noise). Another interesting element is the psychological aspect of an infrared heater. It's glowing orange, which makes you feel warmer than you actually are. Like how just HEARING a fan, will make you feel cooler, even if it's not at all directed at you (at least I feel that way). I don't at all like the design of the one in this video, though.
2 years ago I woke up and my Sunbeam sqh310 had fallen forward that night from a cat or something. But luckily the safety switch was working on it so it cut off as it was fallen forward facing the floor and luckily it was on low so when it did cut off fallen forward it wasn't hot enough to catch the carpet on fire. Yes these space heaters can be very dangerous if you don't watch what you're doing.
The Quartz heater is the best that I have used , I don’t remember the brand but the one that I used . Had 4 Quartz Tubs . It lasted for around 3 years but after about a year I couldn’t switch it onto high because the heat knob stopped working on high . It worked fine on low but when it was really cold the low setting just wasn’t enough to heat a 12x12 room with just 2 tubs working but with all 4 Quartz tubs working that heater was so good that every solid object in the room would heat up and get to around 70 degrees and this was when the temperature was around zero degrees Fahrenheit or about ( - 17 Celsius ) but again it had 4 Quartz tubes .working to accomplish that
LOL. I have been using that same model Comfort Zone Quartz heater for 5 years as a spot heater. Works much better than the 2 Ceramic heaters I also own. They are now in the garage and don't get used. LOL I keep bread handy so I can toast it. LOL NOTE: If you don't put you hand on the grill, it won't burn as bad. It's a Radiant heater, you don't need to be right on top of it to get its benefits. That ceramic heater has to heat the room. A radiant heater heats objects, which in turn heats the room. LOL
the whole point of space heaters is to heat a smaller space so you dont have to raise the entire temp of your house up too high. infared heaters do this the best because you can point them somewhere and they only heat up that section, and dont even heat up the air. they make small 150w-500w ir heaters now which are like 10-20 bucks, and are even cheaper than gas heating. 150w is like nothing. put one in every room and crank the thermostat temp down to like 65 and feel just as warm.
I heat a double bedroom with 400W OF QUARTZ HEAT from a £15 400/800w heater, no fan, I am pleasantly surprised. The problem with the fan unless at a high power is you are blowing cold air not properly heated.
I bought 2 of the radiant heaters. Talk about POS. On low very little heat come off. On high it will run less than 5 min and shut down. Power light quickly blinks. It has to cool down 30min. It might come back on and it might not.
There's one huge problem what happens if the power goes out The other one you're talking about doesn't come back on The other one it's analog if the power goes out it will turn off then the when it's power comes back on it will kick back on The other one is digital it doesn't do that
quarts is a 8 on the mos scale, that eans it takes alot longer to heat it, but once it is heated it will last alot longer. style means nothing. i bet the lasco is probly 1500watts
Oil radiator with two power setting probably the best, it does not blow fan, make noise, or glowing in the dark, not sure but think use less energy to use than those two because it keep cycling hot hot in the unit.
I have the huge toster and this last winter it was what kept us so hit we had to turn it off lolo😅 I will never buy any other heaters then this one or the sunbeam one the. Sunbeam is in a whole new level if you don’t know how to use a space heater don’t use the one I put it on my electric stove and I have no problem I have had it for 3 years almost also my sunbeam hqh 307
First of all, both heaters are 100% efficient. ALL of the electricity that’s consumed by those devices are turned into heat because matter is neither created nor destroyed… and energy is a property of matter. Second, turn on a 1500 watt ceramic heater and let it run for ten minutes. Turn it off and touch its grill. I guarantee it’s going to burn you. Third, when you wanna compare two different kinds of heaters, make sure there are the same wattage. After all, a 500 watt ceramic heater will definitely consume less power than a 1500 watt infrared heater, but it will ONLY PRODUCE A THIRD OF THE HEAT… for obvious reasons. The main take away of the different kinds of heaters is how they work, or produce heat. Obviously running a 500 watt heater for one hour is going to use less electricity than running a 1500 watt heater for the same time REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF ELECTRIC HEATER. Find you a 1500 watt ceramic heater, run it for the winter see how “much less energy it uses”.
You can get the Redstone in a store not online to support jobs for $60 Or less Why are you lying about the heating time If you turn on high it's pretty fast and then turn it on low like you have it. That ceramic heater being fancy probably uses electricity all the time Even if it's just sitting there not running And use more electricity

Same. Quartz heats fast , it's my 1st :)
Same, heating up my storage unit in canada 1500 watts is pretty much my max and quartz is best so far

@@petermaz701 +++ Not to mention the fact that the further below freezing the outside air gets, the dryer it gets. LOL

It also was a 1500 watt quartz heater as well that you called a toaster lol

I’d take the quartz heater for sure.
does it have UV protection?
@@MaximumEfficiencyit’s infrared not uv
@@Blue_Azure101 yes but quartz stilll emits some UV
Oh the oil radiator does not produce smell from burning elements.
Excellent comparison and review. Thanks.

Don’t quit your day job !
It was obvious you already had your mind made up ahead of time.
Was it that obvious?!?!?
I meant recycling hot oil in the unit.
wish you knew what you were talking about don’t quit your day job
