Product Description
The Original SUNHEAT SH-1500, with Made in USA cabinetry, provides safe, soft, comfortable infrared warmth for any area of the home or office, up to 1,000 sq ft. This portable, supplemental, 1500 watt electronic infrared heater features a 5 year parts and labor warranty, a simple set and forget thermostat, lifetime washable filter, and heavy duty 12 gauge power cord. It cannot start a fire, is safe to operate anywhere, all the time, even around children and pets but best of all it will slash your heating costs. The infrared heater was first developed and sold in the early 1980's using four flood lamps and a flat piece of sheet metal as the heat sink. SUNHEAT International distributed this USA made product for many years before the manufacturer sold out. The mass marketing company, now selling the self proclaimed famous infrared heater, immediately started having a plastic product built overseas. In 2006, SUNHEAT went back to the drawing board and the original infrared heater was upgraded to six quartz infrared heating elements housed in 24 ounces of copper creating more even heat. Upgrades to the SH-1500 included a fan that lasts over seven times longer than any of its competitors, solid hardwood tops, military grade wiring and an appliance grade 90 degree plug among others. Soon after, the very first infrared electric fireplace was engineered, designed and developed by the family owned and operated Nebraska SUNHEAT team. While not brought to the big city by horse and carriage or even by Amish, each SH-1500 is quality control checked in Central City, NE and placed in an all wood (no plastic) made in USA cabinet. The cabinet uses Sherwin Williams water based stains with no organic volatile chemicals to seep into the atmosphere. Sleep well knowing your family is safe from a heater that cannot start a fire, your bones are soothed from the infrared carried into your home and knowing you are helping preserve the environment and your country.The Original SUNHEAT Electronic Infrared Zone Heater, Golden Oak Review
I knew exactly what I was buying when I purchased the Sunheat earlier this year and it does the job well. I needed a large-room electric zone heater for a small (450 sq ft) finished area for my basement. I live in Maine (very cold winters), but my well-insulated basement temperature stays fairly constant year round. I tried a few smaller space heaters and electric baseboard units prior to the Sunheat, but I found they simply didn't heat the space evenly or quickly enough. The Sunheat heats the space very well -- comfortable and quick. The noise from the fan isn't even that loud. I can have the unit on next to the couch while I watch TV and it is a non-factor.Also, it is important to note I do not run the unit 24/7 nor do I rely on the on-board temperature gauge to regulate the heat in the room. Instead, I plug the Sunheat into a Lux WIN100 Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat Heating & Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat (which can be bought from Amazon for $30), and it basically turns my basement into a separate heat zone of the house. I can program when the heating unit comes and and what temp I want the room at based on when I use the space, just like I do on the other programmable thermostats in my house. I leave the Sunheat switched on and on the high temp setting, but it only comes on when my separate thermostat tells it to. A big reason that I bought a Sunheat 1500 is because it has a non-digital on-off switch, which is only thing that is compatible with this type of thermostat. The Duraflame (which is the top rated unit on Consumer Reports) and others will not work with a separate programmable thermostat because when they are plugged in, they require a person to actually turn them on by pushing a digital button. The Sunheat has a manual switch, which is exactly what I needed.
The rest of my house is on oil heat. I priced out adding a heating zone with forced hot water baseboards through my oil furnace in the basement, and installation alone was $1500-$1700, plus the cost of the oil heat. For around $275 I can accomplish the same with the Sunheat and outlet thermostat. I cannot say exactly how much my electric bill went up from using the Sunheat because it can be common for my bill to fluctuate $10-$20 each month yearround depending on other variables. I haven't seen an noticeable increase since I started using the Sunheat so that tells me it likely increases my electric bill around $10 monthly.
Again, I knew exactly what I needed when I bought the Sunheat and it does the job well.
