Tools and Hardware Reviews of Optimus H-4110 9-Inch Dish Heater
Customer Review: Great little spot heater
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this little heater. I bought one of these last year to use at my desk. My home office doesn't get adequate heat and stays in the 64 to 67 degree range. I wanted something inexpensive to run that would warm the area around my desk. This little heater does that perfectly while consuming only 300 watts.
It is definitely not powerful enough to heat a whole room, but if you are stationed mainly in one area of the room, like at a desk, and want some spot heating, it fits the bill. I can also set it back four or five feet and it will "beam" some gentle heat up under my desk to keep it from being so chilly at floor level.
No fan, so it's absolutely quiet. No thermostat, so you do have to switch it off and on manually, which I don't mind.
(Note: product image was missing when I wrote this review. It looks similar to the 14 inch model, just a little smaller.)
Customer Review: Great spot heat
Summary: 5 Stars
I added this heater to my arsenal of portable heaters in my underheated house in Florida where we had some cold spells this past winter. performed like a champ- provided spot heat where needed without the need to heat up the large air space in some larger rooms. Highly recommended!Customer Review: Great when it works!
Summary: 3 Stars
unfortunately for me I had to return this and get a replacement because it broke down within 2 months. But during the time it was working, it did fairly well for a small dish and 300 watts!
If this one breaks down too, I'm going to re-edit my review
Customer Review: Handy product, but don't expect desert-like heat
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a pretty good heater for specialized uses. I'm using it in a small bathroom and it works great - kicks off more than enough heat, compact in size, and easy to use. Most importantly, it's economical to run. Since it only draws 300 watts, it uses a fraction of the electricity of a larger (1,500 watt) heater.
I can also see this as being a very effective personal heater for an office - it makes zero noise (no fan), so it won't disturb the person in the next cubical.
But, its economical nature means that this is not a good choice if you're looking to heat anything other than a very small room or use it for spot heating.
It comes with a three year warranty but there's a catch - you need to mail it back with a check for either $15 or $20 (depending on how long you've had it) to get a replacement. Once you figure in the cost of return postage, it costs more to repair it than buy a new one. Build quality is what you would expect at this price point - nothing great, but decent.
Good choice for specialized uses, and very economical in terms of energy usage.
Customer Review: Horrible
Summary: 1 Stars
I liked it at first, because it was so quiet and small, but in the end the heating area was tiny (use it if you like warming only one part of one side of your body). And it died on the second day! Completely disappointed.
