Tools and Hardware Reviews of Soleus Air MS-09 Oscillating Radiant Heater
Customer Review: Best Heater I've Ever Had
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a graduate student living alone in a one-bedroom apartment. Here in Reno, I pay more than $100 for the electricity during the winter season. I figured out that this is probably due to my heaters which are electric-powered. My apartment has a built-in electric heater and I have a Delonghi heater (DFH 333MT). I have no complaints about the Delonghi heater except that it consumes lots of electricity(1500 W) and I just don't like the feeling of the warm air plus it makes me feel dry.
To save money I decided to invest in this little heater and I was not disappointed. It just consumes 400 W (low setting) and 800 W (high setting).
To give you an idea of how good it is, I turned off the built-in electric heater in my apartment and the Delonghi heater and I did not feel cold at all even in the LOW SETTING.
The lights at LOW SETTING is not as bright as I thought. But in case you cannot sleep with its emitted light, I suggest that you put a blindfold. The light feels good. This device has also a safety mechanism. If you tip it, it will stop working and if it reached a certain high temperature,it will automatically stop. To sum up, a good buy.
This heater is made in China. I just hope that it will last for a long time.
UPDATE: In colder evenings, you need to use the HIGH SETTING. The light is too bright but the heat is enough esp. if you are at least 3 feet apart from it. In my case, I still need to turn on my apartment's built-in electric heater but only at LOW SETTING. This Soleus heater is just not enough to heat my whole room which is connected to the kitchen.
Well, it has been more than a year since I updated this review. I now live in Moscow, ID (from Reno, NV)doing postdoctoral studies and this heater still works!
Customer Review: Best heater EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
This a a great heater! It is very warm, can heat a whole room and is quiet. The reflective heat feels great. I want to buy one for every room in my house! Would be a great gift for your chilly friends! And the energy efficiency is an added bonus.Customer Review: Best heater I have ever bought
Summary: 5 Stars
Great heater! I have tried several radiant heaters and fan heaters. This one beats them all. The orange glow is very pleasant, it works silently, and the controls are clear and well marked. The lowest heat setting is good enough for me. Worth every penny.Customer Review: Best room heater
Summary: 5 Stars
We use it to heat one bay of our garage used as a workshop. Silent and effective with good controls. Swivel feature is a plus. Lower wattage than most, uses less electricity. Highly recommended.Customer Review: Beware of Amazon.com
Summary: 1 Stars
Until recently I've noticed something very interesting about the Amazon.com's review system. It seems that about 50% of the time when I give a 1-star review on a product it will not get posted! It actually makes sense if you think about it because Amazon.com is trying to sell as much products as possible thus having a lot of negative reviews would certainly hurt the sales.
I've previously written an in-depth review on this heater and it was never posted by Amazon. Since I don't want to repeat those again, let me just briefly tell you that you won't feel anything if you're more than 3.5 feet away from the front of the heater or if part of your furniture (i.e. arm rest or seat back) is blocking where this heater is pointing. Furthermore if you let it point towards your face at 800W, you'll need a good pair of sunglasses because it's too bright at a close distance (at 3.5 feet).
Hopefully this review will get posted...
