Discount Pelonis 1,500-watt Portable Electric Oil-filled Radiant Heater

Customer Ratings:

works well

keeps bedroom warm at night so

we dont need to run the furnace heating the whole house

radiant heaters need to be near a wall

preferably where a window lets cold air in

they heat the air and it curculates up and around the room

they do not radiate out next to you so dont put them in the middle of the room like a ceramic space heater with a fan

ours worked well but is now not heating as much

still working though

will try on medium setting instead of low

getting two more at home depot on sale

dont get fooled by the bad reviews by people who dont know how to use a radiant heater

but dont overlook the ones that said they had failures of switches or leaks etc

failures should be rare but do happen with any product

stupid users should be rare but are all too frequent

I bought this heater to warm a small one bedroom (barely insulated) home and it did well when the temperatures outside ranged from 40-55 degrees but when it got into the teens and 20s outside, this thing could not compete. Typically I find that it raises the inside temperature about 17-21 degrees above the outside temp. When it was in the teens and twenties, I was only seeing about a 15 degree increase, on high all of the time.

I am pretty accepting of the fact that there was typically a consistent 20 degree increase in temperature, but now that mine has stopped working completely, I'm not such a big fan of this giant thing just taking up space in my room. I'm almost 100% sure that the problem is a faulty dial/knob. When I first started having issues with this knob was when for some weird reason it wouldn't turn on high anymore... only med and low. Then it stopped turning on when I turned it to med, only working on low. Then the orange "on" light started blinking when I would turn it on any setting, but not actually stay on. So now no light turns on and neither does its heating functions.

I got this thing less than 60 days ago by the way......

I've used the same one by duraflame and it also was not such a great experience either. Every 15-20 min, it made some weird creaking noise that got very old, very fast.

Best Deals on Pelonis 1,500-watt Portable Electric Oil-filled Radiant Heater

After much research and review of various heaters I came to the conclusion that this one would work great and it did. We have an old Lakewood 7101 that still works great but wanted another oil-filled radiant heater for another room. We purchased a Pelonis 1,500 watt oil-filled radiant heater and could not be happier. It works great and we especially like the thermostat that works and keeps the rooms the right temperature. There is no oil smell at all with this unit. Having it on wheels makes it easy to move around on hard wood floors. BTW, you do not need to keep the unit next to a wall as it works just fine 2-3 feet away from the wall. I don't know how long it will last but am very satisfied with the unit thus far.

Honest reviews on Pelonis 1,500-watt Portable Electric Oil-filled Radiant Heater

My delonghi floor heater quit working after about 10 years so I went to home depot to buy another affordable one. I ended up picking the pelonis because it was on sale. The first thing I noticed was the pungent odor it gave off so I didn't really want it in my bedroom where the air would be enclosed so I used it as the kitchen heater. Then, after a few weeks the plug melted so I replaced that. After a couple months the smell went away but then I started noticing burn marks on the outer surface of the metal from it running at a high temperature day in and day out. The metal began to warp so that I couldn't roll it properly either. Finally, after owning it for a total of 4 months it burnt out. I really wish I would have saved my money for something else.

We got rid of our old oil furnace, which no longer worked. We put one of the Pelonis in each room. We were disappointed at first. Then I realized it had nothing to do with how hot it got, but the circulation of the heat. So I put a small fan behind each one and set them to a very low blow setting. This gently circulated the heat around the room. We are very happy with this system of heating.
