Discount Optimus H-3013 Portable Utility Heater with Thermostat

Customer Ratings:

I have purchased two of these heaters and encountered the same problem with both of them.

Granted, they are a low priced heater. I paid $19.95 (on sale) for each of mine.

Both functioned for a few months, being used only occasionally for limited amounts of time to heat my basement workshop.

The amount of heat produced; even at the maximum setting was very disappointing; for both units.

Worse yet; both unit developed the same problem.

They would temporarily shut down and then resume operating a few minutes later. Both the fan and heating unit would shut off, and then resume operating temporarily.

It was like a thermal overload was producing a temporary shutdown.

the end result was that very little "heat" was produced.

The old adage about "getting what you paid for" certainly applies to this heater!

Politely stated; it is a piece of junk!

Honest reviews on Optimus H-3013 Portable Utility Heater with Thermostat

Dont buy this as a heater. Maybe buy this as a fan.

This unit has a few settings: Fan, 500w, 1000w, 1500w.

You have to set it to 1500w to get any sort of heat, and that is just too high of a power draw for too little heat. And the thing sounds like a lawnmowers. The fan is hardly balanced.

Only buy this heater for its cold-war era nostalgia. For heat, you're better off with a tiny ceramic heater box.
