Introduction
Sunny summer comes and goes, and in front of us, waiting, are the yellow-red autumn leaves and the frosty winter. Of course, there is nothing bad in these seasons, except for the lack of heat.
Therefore it’s worth taking a look at this Dr. Infrared Heater portable space heater review. This unit sure knows how to warm you up on cold evenings. With this heater, you not only will be able to raise the temperature in the room, but you will also raise the mood!
(4.2 / 5)Dr. Infrared Heater Overview
The Dr. Infrared Heater does three things for the same goal – your comfort.
Firstly, this heater uses infrared to create and distribute heat. It then backs it up using convection heating. The result is focused heating of people and objects. And the second method, convection, allows heat spread to be much faster and more efficient than in regular heaters.
Thirdly, this unit has a humidifier. Heating up our homes has its perks, but it does have its downsides. Usually, the air becomes dry, and we start to get irritated. With Dr. Infrared’s humidifier, you get heat, as desired, without any of the accompanying dry air that is common with several other small space heaters on the market.
So, why is it called the “Dr.” of Infrared heating?
Dr. Infrared heaters are an excellent choice for staying warm and comfortable in low temperatures or drafty rooms. Instead of heating the air in a room, it projects its energy on people and objects. That means you’ll stay warm without heating the empty space to the rafters!
This also means that you save a lot of costs, as it focuses on you and those around you. The ambient air around you is obviously much larger, and that would, in a practical sense, be a waste of precious resources.
Set and forget…
The “Dr.” has a digital thermostat that allows you to set and maintain the desired temperature. Most other non-“Dr’s” do not have this feature. Other options include energy efficiency modes (Energy Saving Auto Mode), and a high and low auto setting.
As noted, the “Dr” backs up its heating with speed. The principle of operation of convectors, as their name implies, is based on convection, when warm air flows upward, and heavier cold air takes its place.
Using specially crafted PTC and quartz infrared elements, the “Dr.” mimics this activity using infrared technology. The design of these enhances the natural circulation of airflow, making your room warms up faster, without any discomfort to you.
Key Features
This 1,500-watt infrared heater offers an electronic thermostat that allows you to adjust the temperature between 50 and 85 degrees. If you want to optimize your energy consumption, use auto mode to let the unit run at 1,000 watts while maintaining your target temperature.
This heater also includes safety shutdown sensors that prevent overheating, and it will shut down the appliance if it is knocked over. These prolong the unit’s life and ensures that you and your family are kept safe.
Quiet as a church mouse, a warm one that is!
One of the biggest claims of the Dr. Infrared portable heater is its quiet operation. This infrared heater has a high-efficiency 7-inch blower to circulate hot air throughout the room. It can afford to be quiet because several other models have a smaller 3-inch fan that needs to work harder and therefore produces more noise as it travels.
Everyone praises the heating power of this infrared heater…
With all the features and controls you need, on an interactive interface, combined with quiet operation, the Dr. Infrared Portable Heater is an excellent choice.
Other great features?
In terms of durability, while it is finished with attractive Formica wood, its frame is actually manufactured with galvanized steel. Therefore, it is as durable as can be.
And for practicality, the connection cord is 72 inches long — much more than you are likely to ever need.
It covers up to 1,000 square feet of space with its heat, so, really, you do not need to hassle over a spot to plug it in. You even get a remote control.
What more could you ask for?
Nothing. Nothing at all…
