Infrared Space Heater 600W - suited for 86-142ft² - energy efficient electric heating - wall-mounted - warms up quickly - over-heating protection - silent - carefree - pleasant warmth

I was sitting in my garage home office one early Sunday morning and it was cold! Decided to buy a small heater like one of those DeLongi oil filled heaters and when I found it, the price had gone up a lot. Then Amazon showed me this one and I was skeptical of it but put it in my cart and kept looking more but found no bargains. I didn't want one that used hot red wires or metal fins, so I'm back to this one and bought it with the special thermostat. I watched the videos that claimed it's like sunlight and wondered what that would be like.So it came and I set it up behind my desk on the wall and started using it. It really doesn't feel like regular sunlight, but more like standing in the desert in 116F heat with the sun blazing down on me. First it heated up the metal frame of my Uplift desk, so that the desk is radiating more heat to me as well, and then it started to heat up the garage more, quite quickly, and all was well after that in about 20 minutes. So this small panel is quite powerful, and I feel like it's not using a lot of electricity, and came to temp quite quick and throttled down. Some interesting things ... Didn't heat up my computers, just the metal parts of the desk. Didn't give off a burning feeling on my skin or legs, just blazing sunlight but was comfortable.They say these panels are the future, where if you have solar on the roof, you use your excess electricity to power these things to heat your home and that is very plausible. I think it outperforms the Delongi compact oil filled heater, because the heat is directional and not 360 or circular, and can use less energy to focus heat where you want it. I consider this device as an experiment or introduction to the technology, and it has sold me on it. As for build quality, seems top notch to me, it's German. But you need the special thermostat to get the most out this device. I can see later down the road mounting a pair on my garage walls, turn them into pictures or art, but I didn't have the foresight in planning to place electric outlets for that during my remodel. On one hand it seems very expensive, but on the other hand it's a bargain considering that I won't burn down my garage and it should last forever. I'm very happy with it and would buy another one for my room for the winter next year.

Well built. Quiet. Works as intended.

This is a wonderful heater in regards to being able to mount it into smaller spaces. It puts out a ton of heat and it's easy to install as long as you carefully read the instructions. I used an additional two screws at the bottom just to help support it, but that's not needed.

Disappointing heater! There are no controls and my electric bill went through the roof. NOT recommended.

I bought two of these following a New York Times article extolling a similar product by Boldr. These are going back. Heat is only detectable within 2.5 feet of the panel, so it is useless when mounted to a wall. It needs to be placed on a chair right beside you to feel any warmth whatsoever. The maximum heating area is 9 square feet -- absolutely NOT 43 - 80. It looks sleek, exactly as displayed, but "far" infrared is a lie. Very disappointed; I expected better from a German company.
