Optimus H-3015 Portable Utility Heater with Thermostat Review

Customer Ratings:

Smaller than thought, but works well. A little noisy. Use in bedroom in winter. Helps keep room warmer than the rest of the house. Pretty good on energy consumption. Well made. Sturdy construction. Nice carry handle. If tilted over, automatically shuts down. Overall a good buy. Would recommend.

I have had the 45,ooo btu Big Maxx heater now for about 4 years. Every winter is a new set of repairs and continued repairs to keep it working. I leave my step ladder set up next to it because I am constantly working on it to keep it heating. I have ordered my 4th circut board to be put in this time. There is a bad connection in it now so I have touch the circut board everytime I want it to start heating. The others were shorted out because there is no fuse on the circut board. I would recommend spending a little more money and getting a better, lower maintenance heater.

We used an unvented natural gas heater in our garage for several years. With many more cold days this past winter, we began having concerns with the excess amount of moisture and condensation produced by non-venting. Having already roughed-in the electrical and thermostat wiring for a unit heater when the garage was built, we decided it was time to switch to a vented heater.

We looked at the Modine and Big Maxx heaters and selected the Big Maxx 45 when it went on sale for $399 at Northern Tool. We ordered the heater and had it shipped to a store in our area to avoid shipping charges. The heater arrived much quicker that we anticipated. Our original plan was to install the heater sometime during the summer and be ready for next winter. The next weekend was nice weather so we decided to go ahead and install the Big Maxx.

Since the heater needed to mount at a 45 degree angle to the room, we mounted unistrut channel to the ceiling joists and mounted the heater thereto. We used category I gas vent from Lowe's. Installation was simple and straight forward. Then we turned the heater on.

The induced draft motor made a LOT of noise and vibration. Then the blower fan came on and you needed hearing protection to stay in the room. In the bedroom above the garage, it actually sounded like someone was running a couple of hammer drills. Being an engineer, I inspected both blowers to see why they vibrated so badly. The induced draft blower had a nice looking squirrel cage blower but the shaft hole was drilled off center. The next day we took the heater down, boxed it up and returned it to Northern as defective.

Next we ordered a Modine heater. Installation was a little more complicated because we already had the hole in the wall for the vent. We mounted this heater slightly differently to take advantage of the existing hole. This heater required Category III venting for our installation so we ordered Z-Vent online. The Modine heater is quiet as a mouse. As they say, "you get what you pay for".

I bought this unit in Nov 2007. I have had trouble with it from day one. The company has been good to work with ( they sent replacement parts) but it just stopped working again. Parts come but takes 2 weeks or so. They don't rush it. 3 times now in 4 months. It is garbage and should be recalled and taken off the market. Spend more or get a different brand but stay away from this. I put one star only because that was as low as it would go.

I got this heater for my garage office. It works as described and no problems thus far. Installation was easy and remember to bleed the lines first before attemting gas hookup.

I've had the Big Maxx 45,000 btu heater for about one full year now and am overall quite satisfied with the unit. It's installed in a converted to theater room, detached 24x24 foot garage with a 10 foot ceiling that is well insulated. I keep the thermostat set at 50 degrees and warm it to 72 degrees when we watch movies and that takes about 20 to 30 minutes when outside temps are around 20 degrees. The heater has worked flawlessly except for a cracked circulation fan which customer service was extremely helpful in replacing. My only complaint is that this unit is too loud (65 to 70db) for a theater room type application. We get around this issue by first warming up the room then running a very quiet electric heater that keeps the temp constant. For a garage or workshop application, this heater is perfect and fairly easy to install if you're handy with tools. Recommended!

Update; I finally determined that my inducer (exhaust) fan has been the noise maker. I called customer service and they sent me a new fan and associated gaskets. Installed the item and now this heater is much, much quieter. Kudos to a great customer service dept.

This is a better fire place than most but as a TV stand it is pretty average. The construction is good and it is very well made, but the drawers are painfully small and basically pointless. I do have to say though, it doesn't cost very much to operate. Even with the flames going and the unit running pretty much steadily throughout the day and the evening, this is costing only around thirty dollars per month according to what I can figure out on my power bill. I love the realistic look of the flames and that you can set the different settings individually to make just the right fire look. The cord is nice and long and the cabinets are nice. I would recommend it.

We already had the 30,000 BTU heater and it works great. This 20,000 works just as well. The thermostat keeps the temp pretty even....no constant adjusting or getting to hot or too cold. We don't have electric for the blower yet but the blower on the 30,000 works very well. The pilot ignition is much better than our older heaters...just a gentle press of the button.

I have purchase 2 of these to provide a standby heat source in the event of a prolonged power failure. They provide a nice source of heat if the outside temperatures plung into the single digits also.

We went to the usual places to get this and couldn't find one for less than three hundred. Then I had the idea to look here...duh...and found so many options. We chose this one and are very happy. It is exactly as described, packaged well, works just as it should and best of all is at least a hundred less than certain home improvement places sell it for. We have now had it for over a year and have had no problems with it whatsoever.

I have a 20ft x 20ft two car garage with a 12ft ceiling and this thing keeps it right at 62 degrees on the first setting.

Customer service is also great, mine came with some shipping damage and the parts were not available to fix it. I waited a few weeks during which time I was contacted by customer support a few times keeping me updated as to when the parts would arrive. After about 3 weeks the weather started to get cold and the parts still had not arrived so I contacted Mr. Heater support again and they replaced the entire unit leaving me with the old unit for spare parts. So while it wasn't the ideal situation, and though wasn't their fault (UPS breaks many things), they made it right and were very pleasant doing so.

The only con, and a very small one at that, would be that I would like a bit more control of the temperature. At least in the garage setting the lowest temperature it keeps it at is 62, which I really only need maybe 45-50, just to keep the cars from freezing ect. Other than that, its perfect!

Great price just what I was looking for It's nice and compacted doesn't take up a lot of room, you have to supply the bottle does not come with one, but no big deal, the cold water is nice and chilled, hot water is hot. So far I'm happy with it. I have had for about two weeks. I like that it's slim since i do not have much room in my kitchen my son had an old metal one that took up a bit more space and was kind of ugly to look at, this is attractive, light weight, but holds a 5 gal. bottle just fine, so it was just perfect. the storage underneath is nice to, I put extra cans of soda in there but it isn't refrigerated , I guess it would be a nice place to put disposable cups in for use. It does tell you to plug into an outlet that is all by it's self or could cause some issues with performance otherwise, but I did not have that choice but seems to be working just fine and have not blown any breakers so.... :)

This is much smaller then I expected. The volume of cooled/heated water is very small. It has great hot water (Very hot), but the cold water is not cold. It is cool. There is no controls to adjust the temperature for either hot nor cold. It feels cheaply made.

It's quiet and puts out alot of heat. I like that you can wire it either 120 or 240, it's a nice option. The only reason I deducted 1 star is the timer. The timer is quite loud and cannot be reset.

This heater was installed in our new construction home as the primary heater for the master bathroom. The heater does put out heat, but I am unimpressed with the speed of the fan and how slowly the room heats up. Previously we had used a plug-in ceramic style heater that seemed to heat the room significantly faster. I believe that they are the same watt output, it may just be that the fan in this Cadet is low enough as to not evenly distribute the heated air. If you turn it on far enough in advance of needing it, things will work fine.

Last complaint is that there should be a way to turn off the timer clicking. While not exactly loud or distracting, a silent operation would be better.

The only reason I purchased this unit was because it has a timer on it. I thought it would turn off the heat when the timer shuts off so that it wouldn't run continuously. It doesn't work that way. There is NO way to shut this off. The timer can temporarily override the thermostat control but it will NOT shut off the unit. So if you're looking for a timed heater, just buy a cheaper one and wire it through an external timer.

I have had no problems with this heater but as I didn't read enough I come up short of what I wanted. I wanted one like I had before which was very similar with the exception it had a thermostatic control in side and would turn on and off.

This one stays on constantly. Beyond that it is ok. I am not faulting the heater as it was my error.
