Nice looking. If anybody doesn't know about space heater marketing, there is a 1500 watt (5200 BTUs) limit on space heaters that have a "normal" electrical plug. It doesn't matter if the unit is $20 or $200, or if the box says "for small room" or "for large rooms," it will produce the same amount of heat.

There may be some difference in how "effective" the heat is when comparing radiant heaters to hot air blowers, with personal preference playing a factor.

Edit: To elaborate, radiant heaters aim to maximize the amount of heat radiated as infrared (IR) radiation, which doesn't heat the air, it heats the object(s) it hits. This makes it more effective in a drafty room, and it also lessens the "drying" of the air in the room. Hot air blower style heaters transfer the heat into the air, which can find ways to leave the room and take the heat (that you paid for) with it. On some level, any style of heater will be doing both types of heating, but in widely varying proportions. I.E. A blower style heater will still radiate a little IR but most of the energy is transferred to the air, and a IR heater will still heat the air near the heating element but most of the energy is emitted as IR radiation.

So with this you are essentially paying like $30 for a space heater and $50 for a cool fake fireplace that's attached to it.
1500 watts is 1500 watts. While there may be tiny differences in how the unit puts the heat into the air, this unit will not heat a room any better than a $10 plug in 1500 watt fan heater. So unless you want something pretty to look at, save your money
One of my favorite purchases I've ever made.

This thing is a beast - it really cranks out heat. It's also pleasant to look at.

A friend's heat went out this winter and we loaned this to her while she was waiting for it to be fixed. She said she ran it on the highest setting and it was so powerful that she woke up sweating in the middle of the night.

I bought 5 different 1500 watt infrared heaters this month from homedepot to test and the dr infrared heater was BY FAR superior so with this price it might be one of those inferior 1500 watt heaters

Thanks. How do I know how much it cost to run this for 1 hour at its peak?

Is it same as 1500W usage~1.5 unit/hr?

Same, max on a regular outlet is 1500.

This one is on sale for $49

ChimneyFree® Powerheat Infrared Quartz Electric Stove Heater https://www.walmart.com/ip/148647005

We own both of these (one upstairs, one downstairs). Everyone prefers the wooden one over the $49 one. Primary reasons:
1) the $49 one looks much cheaper in person.
2) the $79 model has a remote
3) the $79 model has wheels - so it's easy to move around, but the wheels are not really visible in real life.
4) the heat on the $79 one comes out of the top, not the bottom - just our personal preference.

Is the heat power the same on both of these? I have the $49 one and can barely feel any heat coming out of it at all. While basic 1500 watt space heaters I feel 10x more. Not sure if the one I got is a lemon.

How's your electricity bill? Thinking about buying one. Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if these units have a clear plastic film over the buttons? Classic problem: I started trying to remove it and started to doubt it was there.

Interesting design. I have two different models from a few years ago that look like a small wood stove and the heater is on the bottom of both units with a blower. This units it seams blows the heat out in the upper part of the unit above the lighted logs. Would be good for ambience and a little direct heat which is what I do with my units but obviously these are not intended to actually heat a cold room in Minnesota at the peak of winter. That's foolish.

Quote from Skidpalace :
OK, either you're exaggerating a bit or you have a broken unit. These units should have fans blowing the hot air out of the heater. Otherwise the heat would conduct right up into and melt/burn the plastic fake flame mechanism.
The heat that comes out is comparable to a hair dryer on high. It's 1500 watts and is the most you are going to see in an electric heater that safely runs constantly on a standard electrical plug/outlet. That's 12.5 amps and many outlets are only rated to 15. That's why you might pop a breaker if you forget and fire up the vacuum cleaner on the same circuit at the same time.
I bought this unit [walmart.com] and it has no fan whatsoever. Totally silent, This does not convect the air into the room, only radiates it. Throws a ton of heat a good distance in front of the unit though. Perfect for the home office.
If you want convection for whole room heating and silent operation, get this one [walmart.com].

Awesome thanks. I bought one similar on amazon which I love, a radiant heater. But I was proud to find one for 89 bucks, you crushed that with this under 50 one. Great find, thanks for sharing.

got it delivered today. Same as the cheaper $49 version, this looks nice but is almost useless as a heater. So the other one was not a lemon, these things simply aren't good as heaters. Unless you are right next to it, you won't feel any heat. This one is heavy and comes with tons of packaging so it's gonna be a major pain in the ass to return it. Do not recommend.

I got this one late last year. The heating element went out in less than 2 months. I have returned it and purchased a different one, but if the new one doesn't work well, I'll try the one in the OP.

Quote from QuestorJones :
Walmart gas several iR fireplace models for about $50…

Anyone know why this would be considered a better deal?

We love the $50 model. We actually stuck it in our living room fireplace that rarely ever sees action. Blows out enough heat to keep the living room warm and looks nice inside the fireplace. Definitely worth it if you want something nice that isn't just an ugly fan blowing heat. Don't think I would pay the extra money for this model though.
