Tools and Hardware Reviews of Optimus H-4110 9-Inch Dish Heater
Customer Review: No thermostat -- otherwise, it's ideal for its purpose.
Summary: 4 Stars
The lack of a thermostat is the only negative about this product. The positives:
1) No fan means it's silent.
2) The parabolic reflector directs the heat just where you want it.
3) Only 300 watts means a great saving in electric bills.
4) This is intended to heat a corner of a room or some other small space. Why pay to heat an entire room if you don't need to?
5) The purchase price is very attractive.
6) The heater was delivered promptly and in perfect condition.
Of course, all heaters must be used with caution. Read the enclosed safety instructions and heed them.
Customer Review: Not Powerful Enough to be Useful
Summary: 2 Stars
This heater is only 300 watts, which while good for your electric bill, is not good for warming you up. Of that 300 watts of heat, roughly 30-40% of it goes straight up. The rest of the heat is radiated. Unfortunately, the heat is not hot enough. If you have the heater about 1 foot away, it might keep your legs warm, but not the rest of your body.Customer Review: Not What I Expected
Summary: 3 Stars
This unit uses a ni-chrome style heating element to generate it's heat. You have to be within a foot or two to actually feel the warmth that it projects though.I was a bit disappointed compared to the very noticeable heat zone that the larger halogen parabolic units put out. The heat zone on this 9" dish is so unimpressive, you'll probably never find one of these on active display. People will buy these assuming that they just put out a smaller, but equally noticed heat zone like the larger units... Not true.. Caveat Emptor.... Overall though it serves it's purpose : Warming up the 2'x2' area that the dog sleeps in at night. The red glow isn't to obnoxious in a dark room and it has a tilt switch that cuts the power if it's knocked over. I think the tilt switch is too sensitive though. Tilt it just a few degrees off level and it shuts down, so you pretty much have to keep it at the same level as the target that your aiming it at.. :( Final opinion: A good value for the price /size.Customer Review: Not that useful

19.99 is a good deal but the bad thing is that it does not work for even a small room. You have to have it really close to yourself to feel the heat.Customer Review: Not the best.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this for a little heater for when my room gets a chill to it, Foolish move? yes, why? i bought this heater because my sister has one of same size (Different brand) so i figured i could use one to considering hers can make you sweat... this heater is more for a bathroom and small areas as it says on the box which i did not know, yes it can make a neat little desk heater for your face but that is the most it will do. Dont make the same mistake i did and think this is for a bedroom which it clearly is not.
It would be much better to spend about $10 to $20 dollars more on another model instead of this one, such a small price change will make a HUGE difference.
As for the heater rating, this heater give off a heat radius of about 6 to 8 inch's outward from the heater, Mainly meant to change the temperature in the moisture (Such as a bathroom). The heater can heat up quite quickly considering its size as i saw most complained about how long it can take to heat up, there wrong.
