Unless the unit is using huge amounts of electricity for another purpose instead of the heating coil, a 1500w heater is the all the same. At that point it's just physics.
I use the 1000W one with WiFi to heat my bathroom. It works well and heats the room quickly. Nice to be able to tell Alexa to turn it on/off. I bought it from Amazon Warehouse for less than $40, looked like new, so this isn't a great price for the 1000W without WiFi.

Cloud features go through Tuya so it may hook up with an existing app if your other devices go thru that. Home Assistant integration also goes through that and is a pain to set up.
I did not know this sure makes sense though.... I have a couple home automation set ups mostly wyze though... will try it for sure.....
I am honestly so stoked about the 1000w unit. I live in an older house (built 1963) that has had several renovations over the years. One of those was converting the garage to a family room, and the covered deck area behind said garage into an enclosed sun room/shop. However, when they were putting plugs into the shop, instead of going through the back wall and connecting them to the 20w outlet circuit in the former garage, they hooked them to the 15w circuit that handles lights for the entire outdoors, the former garage, the dining area, and the kitchen. To make matters worse, they connected the above-stove microwave to that circuit as well, so we have to shut off high-draw items in the shop if we want to use the microwave. Primarily, this means space heater or portable air conditioner, and between the two that makes a nearly year-round problem. I'm hoping this will at least solve the heater side of things.
I had this unit.. unfortunately it died after one year. It looked nice, and the WiFi functionality is amazing..
Ditto. Being that I only use it during winter. First time it died they did a "rma" for it. The second time, I check before the year was over and it died again. I'm on my third one, if it dies again I'm not going to bother with this brand

Sounds to me like the real slick deal would be to pay an electrician to fix your stupid wiring.
It shouldn't really be *that* expensive to either redo the run for the microwave, the shop, or both.
I have never used these but the heat you get from a 1500 watt heater isn't what it use to be. I wouldn't plan on this thing warning much up other than a very small bathroom
Sooooo a "watt" is actually a measurement of heat. So 1500w is the going to be the same output of heat no matter the make or model. However it's entirely possible that safety measures i the design of the heater affects the efficiency of the output. I could see that.

I have this in my bathroom. One thing I don't like is how long it takes for it to warm up the room. I would set it for 78, it will constantly click off way below 78 and click back in. I don't feel a fan so I'm guessing it just radiates the room. If I knew what I knew now, I would get one with a fan that would heat up the bathroom fast
You really need super light air circulation so the hot air doesn't sit by the unit. With that, I bought them on last years deal and I think the rooms I wanted them to work in are just a bit too big.

Is it dying or are the quartz bulbs popping? I think the 1000 watt has 2 series of 2x250 watt bulbs, and the 1500 watt has 2 series of 3x250 watt.
I have the 1500 watt, is overkill for a big bedroom, I use it in my living room and it keeps it at around 70 degrees. (My furnace I broken so electric heaters is the only source of heat I have right now). My living room I around 500 sqft
lmao, one of the only things that has been consistent in heating/cooling technology over the last 10-40+ years is resistive heating... a 1500 watt resistive heater from 2023 will put out the same amount of heat as a 1500 watt resistive heater from 1983.
Are you telling me there is nothing special about my Amish Hand Crafted Infrared Heater?
Question for you guys. What would usually be more energy efficient? Using a small electric heater like this to heat one room or raise the temperature on a thermostat operating a heat pump? I know the heat pump is more efficient but if it is heating a whole floor vs 1 room, I wonder which one typically comes out on top?
Keep in mind these are not resistive element heaters like a toaster. They use quartz bulbs. AKA fancy light bulbs. And they do pop. To replace the 4-5 that are in an edenpure unit cost close to $100, for example. So if you notice these units slowly reducing heat output, odds are one or multiple bulbs are popped.

1000 watts into an electric heater converts 1000 watts of electricity to heat.
1000 watts into a heat pump would produce 4000 watts of heat.
When is it more efficient to run a space heater vs heat pump? heating 4 rooms is the same efficiency as 1 room with a space heater. Heating 5 rooms would be less efficient with a heat pump vs 1 room of a space heater. And heating 3 rooms with a heat pump just to get 1 room to temp, is more efficient than heating 1 room with a space heater.

Exactly 💯

1500W units use 2x 750W elements.
