Cheap Overseas Use Only Windchaser MH-500 220 Volt 50HZ Portable Space

Customer Ratings:

I carry a 220V space heater in my luggage on some trips. The features I desire are: compact, light weight, and a low power setting. I previously had a dual setting unit with a 700 watt option. This was plenty of heat, but I was a little concerned about the risk of fire owing to the fairly high temperature of the air stream. Also, it was rather bulky and heavy and nevertheless not so well built. Eventually it failed spectacularly with a shower of sparks as it welded some parts inside the unit. (Just to be double clear I'm talking there about the other brand that I'm replacing, not about this one.)

This Windchaser unit is as compact and light weight as one could hope for. It is well built. It has only one setting 500 watts. As other reviews point out, this is not a lot of heat. However, I tried it on a cold fall night in a small, unheated Paris room and I was satisfied with it. I was also pleased that the air stream is not scorching hot I guess because the amount of air pushed through is large. It is quiet, but not silent, making a gentle white sound noise.

So my 5-star rating of the unit is based on my fairly specific wishes. It would not be suitable in a use where highest heat output was crucial.

i was looking for a 220v heater for tower guard overseas and this works, but it doesnt pack much punch. Every little bit helps where I am though, so for $20 I'd say it was worth it. just don't expect to be blown away with heat!
