PELONIS PHO15A2AGB, Basic Electric Oil Filled Radiator,black space heater, 26.10 x 14.20 x 11.00

I originally got this heater for my sewing workshop in my chilly, uninsulated basement. However soon after I received it, we got a cold snap (low temps of -20F at night at highs of 15F during the day) and it's been running 24/7 in the laundry room which is attached to my kitchen and has no door between. The cold air leaking into the house through the dryer vent was chilling the kitchen and creeping into the rest of our open-concept house. I like that the controls are simple, no electronics or digital thermostats to fuss with. I keep it on Low mode, with the temperature dial in the middle and it keeps our little laundry room quite toasty and helps the kitchen feel warmer as well! I'm going to order another one for my basement workshop because I've been so happy with how efficiently this heater works.It is silent after the initial warm up period during which there's some pops and crackles as the oil gets hot. It takes a little while to start putting out heat but once it does, it's very consistent and doesn't dry out the air.The benefit of this type of heater is, because it doesn't blow hot air, it's great for a workshop where you don't want things blowing around from a fan-type heater.The only concern I have with this type of heater is the whole thing gets quite hot to the touch, so keep it out of reach of small children and pets. I keep our dog away from it with a baby gate across the door way to the laundry room. If you need to move it after it's been running for a while, you need to let it cool down or use pot holders.I was concerned about damage during shipping after reading some of the reviews, but my unit was well packaged and did not have any dents or bent sections.

This little thing surprised me and continues to surprise me!Pro: small, lightweight, compact. Easy to move around and easy to move from room to room. Puts off some heat!!!Cons: I haven't found any. Maybe that it made my office a little too warm before I caught how powerful it was and turned it down but that's not a fault of it, that's user error.Living in North Texas with a heat pump for our central heat is rough during the deep winter months. When it gets down below freezing the heat pump cannot keep up. I've had trouble keeping it above 59 in the house. I have some old school space heaters that blow hot air but I don't like them for various reasons. Main one being when you turn them off you're cold immediately. This is not the case with the radiator. I didn't know what to expect I suppose but I did not expect the heat it puts off. We have a combined large living area, kitchen, and dining room. Very large space, I would guess around 200-250 sq ft. I placed this heater in the middle and shut all the doors to the rooms and to our second half of the house. Turned on a ceiling fan in reverse and turned the central heating unit off at the thermostat. This little thing kept it at 63 in that entire area all day long. The fan in reverse ensured the heat was evenly distributed so instead of having hot spots the entire area was just warm and comfortable and no doubt much less expensive to maintain that heating a 5 bedroom 2 living area home when no one is in most of those rooms throughout the day. I could rave all day but I will stop. You will not be disappointed. Also using a smart plug is invaluable. I purchased this unit with the dials instead of LCD display specifically for this. I leave the temp where I want and the thermostat on high and turn it on and off via the smart plug and use a schedule. When I get out of bed I turn it on and it's already putting off heat by the time I get to the living room. Ok now I'm done. Do not hesitate to purchase.

We picked this up to provide some heat for an arthritic cat. It's very safe, as heating devices go. Used to have one of these that lasted many years.

So far, so good, with the recent purchase of our third oil-filled radiator heater. (I reviewed the two Comfort Zone-brand units also.) This Pelonis is equally great for the heat it emits as well as silent, odorless, mobile, and seemingly cost-effective operation. My only disappointment is the inadequate "handle" to be able to roll it, hot or otherwise, from one place or room to another. This "handle" is more of a hand hold you slide your four fingers UNDER to move (see close-up photos in ad description.) It is TOO SHALLOW, thereby inadequate, for my husband to fit in his fingers in to safely move, and for me the same issue but because I have slightly long fingernails. That seems a definite design flaw, that is risky for safety and just plain awkward a position. The unit is completely satisfactory otherwise, but be warned of this issue. We have devised an alternative to PUSH and GUIDE the unit with a hot pot holder on the top of either side to easily roll it to re-locate. For a child, that might not be a safe solution, but that does work in view of the ineffective "handle." We are completely happy with the product otherwise.

This plugs into a smart plug and it takes about an hour to warm up. I set it to come on in the morning about an hour before I wake up and it’s lovely, nice and warm when I have my coffee without wasting energy to stay warm all night.The radiator warms my front bedroom which is about 168 square feet very nicely.It will not warm my open floor plan kitchen/living room which is about 450 square feet.

Could not have made it through the winter without these heaters! We bought them to use in our AVIARY so the birds would not freeze.........worked PERFECTLY! We did not worry about them as they have a automatic shut off.......and the quality was great ! Consumed very little electricity. Highly recommend to the winter as they heat a good amount of space.
