Five Star Reviews: | 68% Everyone should have one for electric heaters! February 16, 2017 As an ex-firefighter, I can attest to how often electric space heaters cause house fires.That very experience occurred to me last week when in the middle of the night I jumped out of bed in full on alarm mode. I smelled burning plastic.Turns out, the girlfriend had tossed her shirt across the room and it landed on top of our electric fan heater. Later in the night, when the heater cycled on it restricted the air flow from the heater which caused the heater to overheat. (not to mention the smell of ironed clothes) When I woke up with alarm bells in my head, the first thing I checked was the heater and when I saw the shirt I thought "ok, thats all it is".. but clothes don't normally smell like burning plastic, so I kept looking around and sure enough, the wall outlet the heater was plugged into was in full on meltdown.This was a bit sobering - we're used to putting out fires started by electric heaters and you never expect it to happen to yourself.I ordered three of these units that same day. After repairing the outlet, I just plugged this in over it. It looks great - the green light is kind of reassuring but for the bedroom, I wish it was dimmer.Regardless I'm happy to know if I'm not home and my girlfriend decides to play peek-a-boo with the heater again, this unit will kill the power before it melts down the house. Also, she now has a fire extinguisher on her side of the bed. | 57% They easily heated all three levels February 15, 2017 Our heat pump died recently so I purchased two of these to heat my 3 bedroom townhouse. I was a little worried that they were too small to get the job done. Turns out I was wrong. I set the digital thermostadt to 68 and the blower speed to low and viola. They easily heated all three levels. Each unit is rated at 15 amps so I was a bit worried about tripping breakers but so far so good. Luckily the Maryland winter has been pretty mild this year but we've had a couple of cold snaps. These units did the job nicely. Work like a charm. January 11, 2017 Purchased two of these for family in GA. They have been using them regularly and have constantly bragged about how wonderful they are. It seems they do their job extremely well and they are very happy and warm. Five Stars January 4, 2017 Heats our rec room in the basement (22x12) no problem. Has a fan to distribute the heat. Five Stars August 12, 2016 Great to add extra heat in our master bedroom for my cold "little piggies." |
Four Star Reviews: | 16% We will see. October 29, 2017 Seems fine, but has never really been really tested. We will see what happens when it turns really cold. How to verify it actually works? May 16, 2017 This is a tricky one. I mean, it works, there's a green light to indicate that the temperature is ok so I'm guessing this means the device is "doing what's is supposed to" but who knows if it really does what it says it does? there isn't even a sort of a test button like in smoke detectors that will tell you the circuits are working (sorry for the non technical terms here, I'm not an electrician...). So, assuming the device works as advertised, I would say this is a good product. The build quality looks good and the price is ok (this is a 2 pack). I use it with a room heater in the basement so was ok to spend a little more and know that I'm reducing the chance of fire or electrical issues in the basement where sometimes the heater is left unattended, and I hope I will never have to see this device at work. Okay March 14, 2017 Seems to work okay but the light inside is larger and more diffuse than I had expected. Makes it look cheaply made. Very nice, but I got a used February 3, 2017 got this with electric stove heater because of fire risks with all space heaters. Very nice, but I got a used, (not really,but someone bought it and never took it out of plastic package, which is hard to cut into. the price was half of the brand new one. I paid about $12, but full price would have been a lot for this switch. My husband said we really didn't need this safety plug, but better safe than sorry. We can use it with some other electric heater and electronics where the plugs can get hot as well. Great other than the light January 14, 2017 I read the prior reviews about the bright indicator light and purchased it thinking I could put a piece of electrical tape over it and have no issues. The plastic case is thin and the internal light is so bright that even with electrical tape over the front the whole thing glows green like a night light which is pretty annoying when you're trying to keep your room dark. Outside of that it works as advertised. | 33% ... for a week or so but have had some cool nights and the heater seems to work just fine September 14, 2017 Have only had for a week or so but have had some cool nights and the heater seems to work just fine. I like that I can set it and forget it to keep a room at the right temperature. Great little heater February 2, 2017 Great little heater. Originally, the description said it was the 6 Element heater which is what I REALLY wanted. I'm disappointed with VM Innovations but the heater is nice for a small room. Great for a large room. January 10, 2017 Like controls settings, Puts out good heat , size is very easy to relocate from room to room. checked temp cycle times in a 15 x 18 room , turned on and off within 2-3 degrees. Eco mode a plus . Good unit for the price. Seems to work fine for the basement space we have it in January 5, 2017 Seems to work fine for the basement space we have it in. I wish the temperature regulated a little better, but we have it in the wide open space of our basement, overall it works fine, no concerns. Nice December 13, 2016 Nice looking unit, puts out good heat, and is pretty quiet. Heats my sunporch nicely. |
Three Star Reviews: | 4% it comes out of the wall socket very easily. October 30, 2017 This seems to be working, but, it comes out of the wall socket very easily. Three Stars March 9, 2017 thought it ad two prongs in back but have three can not really use in my house. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 4% Hopefull they work August 5, 2017 Looking forward to using this. These do appear to be second hand products, possibly yard sale. Had $3 price tags on them. is pretty. NOT RECOMMENDED January 8, 2017 Small appliances (microwave, space heater) continue to short out the old fuse box despite this device's claims of preventing that. I'd return it but already tossed the packing material. The green on light, which didn't go to red when a heater blew a house fuse, is pretty. NOT RECOMMENDED. Fine if you also want a very bright nite-light. December 27, 2016 I bought this to provide some peace of mind because we have an infrared radiant heater in my daughter's room and I wanted some insurance against the cord/outlet overheating. It seems to work just fine. The 2-star review is because the whole thing glows green. I like bedrooms to be dark (Hey! No ugly wife jokes!) This thing illuminates the entire room with a bright green glow that you can't turn off. I have the same issue with any product that has lights or bright displays that remain on. It seems like a very poor design to me. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 8% Plug burned me still July 15, 2017 They don't work. I had purchased a few of these for small space heaters. After letting the heater run for about 10 minutes I decided to move it across the room. The plug on these get so hot one actually left burn marks on me when I was testing them. Doesn't work so good...don't waste your money... April 5, 2017 Bought it to use in our motor home with infrared heater. The thing melted/burned up, 3 months later. We have a serge protector on the whole rig...scary... customer service simply said, oh well, it's past Amazon's 30 day return policy... One Star March 13, 2017 Unfortunately, the plug ended up tripping the heater and turning it off that we had to discontinue using it. When I received the product it was intact but I ... January 5, 2017 When I received the product it was intact but I could hear to me was broken parts inside of the product. I have used this product and it has done it's job But, it gets hot. I do not overload the circuit that I am using. | 10% Junk With A Capital JUNK. January 13, 2016 Unfortunately you can't do minus stars .I bought this heater from one of the big hardware stores,good deal with veterans discount .I have to say this is one of the poorest(and I can't stress that enough) designed heaters I have ever seen .When this heater finally brings room to temperature and is idle there is a temperature override that makes the unit think the room temperature is two to three degrees higher than what it is .When it does come back on, which would be two degrees below set temp now it is playing a game of catch up which makes it about as inefficient as it can get .Temperature fluctuations are averaging 5 degrees causing heater to run way more than it should .Whoever designed this should go back to school .All the readings I did were taken with an IR temperature gun .If you had one, all you would have to do is put it in a room and watch it's operation to know how bad it is .Do yourself a favor and stay away from this .Thank God for 90 day return policy,going back tomorrow . Small rooms only January 8, 2016 Will not heat 1000 square feet. Ran for 24 hours on high heat. Output warm air but didn't raise the temp a single degree. Maybe if I had 4 ft ceilings. |
