After being very happy with the Optimus radiant 9 inch dish (parabolic) heaters, I decided to try a couple of these & was not disappointed.

They have a 400 & 800 watt setting. These disperse the radiant heat over a much wider angle than dish (parabolic) heater.

Dish heaters concentrate most of their heat to a small area, like a chair, sofa, or bed rather than waste the heat all over the room. This heater spreads the heat out more when you need to heat a larger area than a small dish can.

You save money because it feels warmer where the heater is pointed at instead of blowing heat all over the room, to the corners, under furniture, & up to the ceiling (heat rises).

Radiant or reflective infrared heaters are also better in drafty rooms or ones with high ceilings where heat is normally lost.

They are not intended to heat up a whole room nice & toasty… just the area you’re at. However, an 800 watt infrared or reflective heat will eventually heat up a room just as fast & warm as any other 800 watt heater will, but you’ll feel a lot warmer in front of it, & faster.

The gas company keeps checking my meter thinking it’s broke because my gas bills keep going down while everybody else’s are going up. My electric bills are only 40-50% higher than in summer. $200-$300 per month in energy cost savings so far this year.
