Just after you posted this, Staff just made a post about a "slick deal" for a vornado. The grift is completely transparent.
​The company is headquartered in the United States, with its main operations based in Burlingame, California, and a secondary presence in Chicago, Illinois. It is owned by its parent company, TLM International, Inc.
​Key Brand Information:
​Establishment: 2007.
​Niche: They specialize in energy-efficient infrared quartz heaters and industrial-grade portable heaters.
​Market Position: The brand gained significant traction on Amazon and at retailers like Lowe's by positioning itself as a "factory-direct" alternative to legacy brands. They claim their products are manufactured in the same facilities that supply major retailers like Sears and Home Depot but sold at a lower price point.
​Product Evolution: Their most recognizable product is the DR-968 portable infrared space heater, which features a dual heating system (combining infrared and convection) that the brand claims to have been the first to introduce to the market.
​While the name sounds similar to Mr. Heater, they are entirely different entities. Mr. Heater is a much older brand owned by the Enerco Group, which has roots dating back to 1872.
The problem with all these comments about having a 20 year old doctor infrared heater, is that we all know that these brand names get sold around and the quality drops insanely by this point.

Heat pumps are more than 100% efficient - typically 250-400% or more. 1kWh electricity in = 2.5-4+kWh heat out. They cost more, but electricity savings quickly offsets that for anything beyond light use in a small space.
As for this deal, I see no reason to pay 4x what a cheap ceramic heater costs unless you're in a large/windy space that can't otherwise be heated.

The auto-mode is really great too since it only runs when it's about the temp you set it at. Although I usually have to set it a few degrees under what I want since it's either not 100% accurate or due to it being on the ground it's can't sense the actual room temperature.
