Description

The Dr. Infrared Heater's Advanced Dual Heating System, combining PTC and Quartz Infrared Element, keeps you warm this winter while saving on heating bills. Equipped with a Dual Heating System and High Velocity Low Noise blower, the Dr. Infrared Heater increases the heat distribution and the result is heating your room to a comfortable temperature, fast. The Dr. Infrared Heater is certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) USA and Canada, ensuring the highest safety standard. The Dr. Infrared Heater is perfectly safe around children and pets and only gets warm to the touch. It does not have exposed heating elements that can cause a fire. The Dr. Infrared Heater comes with Energy saving Auto Mode, high and low setting when the mode is set to Auto, the unit will cycle on and off and switch between high or low setting to maintain the desired temperature setting. All Dr. Infrared heaters are engineered and designed in the USA. How is Dr. Heater Different from Other Heaters? Dr. Heater uses infrared heating, which heats objects in the room, instantly making you feel comfortably warm. By heating only the objects in the space--not the air--Dr. Heater provides maximum warmth and energy efficiency. With its state-of-the-art technology that helps the room retain air moisture, Dr. Heater do not dry out your skin like those convection heaters that blast out hot air, stripping the room of moisture. And the best part? It will save you money. Use Dr. Heater instead of your regular heating system, and you could save up to 50% on your next electricity bill. Plus, with its tip-over protection and auto shut-off overheat protection, you can sleep soundly knowing you have got a heater that is superior in safety. Tests Show Dr. Heater heats Faster and Better than Competing Heaters. In a side-by-side test comparison in airtight chambers with the same starting temperature, Dr. Heater heated the same amount of space much faster than a competing heater that has a price tag more than double that of Dr. Heater. Dr. Heater Delivers 60% more heat than other 1500-watt heaters. No magic trick--we just understand heat transfer better. Just because two heaters have the same wattage does not mean they transfer the same amount of heat. Wattage indicates the amount of electricity needed to power the heater--not the amount of heat it can deliver. Heater is the first to feature a dual heating system for maximum heat transfer rate. It combines the energy efficiency of infrared heat with the comfort of convection heat to heat your room fast and comfortably--without hot spots and cold spots. Dr. Heater uses a state-of-the-art 7-inch blower that generates higher pressure and moves larger air volume at a lower speed, without any of the noise of those other heaters on the market. Dr. Infrared Heater has three power Settings: Auto, Low 1000W and High 1500W. The auto energy saving mode allows you to set your desired temperature from 50-86F. It smartly selects between the two settings depending on your room temperature. The thermostat regulates the heater and causes it to cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature. You can also manually set the heater to run on High or Low all the time or with a timer. The heater has to be turned on first in order to use the remote. This a safety provision mandated by the Underwriters Laboratory. So, in order to use the remote, the first step for the user is to press the POWER button on the heater itself. This turns the heater on STANDBY. Then, pressing the POWER button on the remote will turn the heater on. The heater can't be turned on if the unit is not on STANDBY.

  • Great little heater!
Style: Original
This is the second one of these i have purchased the first unit almost a year ago it has worked flawlessly. With multiple fan settings and a thermostat, I can adjust it based on my use. Turn it on high to get the room warmed up fast or set it to low and let it gradually heat up. On high it might be annoying watching tv, but with on low it is acceptably quiet. It feels like a quality product. While it is light enough, I could carry it from room to room, the wheels provide excellent mobility. Overall, I have found it to be a quality product for a very reasonable price. I would not hesitate to recommend or buy again. ... show more

  • Works great!
Style: Original
Absolutely love the design and the relative smallness of the heater but the perfect amount of power in producing heat. I recently had a homebirth, and the heater heated up our room exactly as we needed for baby. It's not loud at all, and the noise that it does produce isn't annoying. With the very cute wood appearance, it blends into any sort of decor and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb. The auto shut off works great and is a very dependable contraption. ... show more

  • Second year now, going strong, so well made
Style: Original
Bought this heater in January of 2024. Just started using it again for a second winter and it is working flawlessly and is toasty warm. I use it in my sun room (less than 200 sq ft) as it gets a bit chilly in there in winter even with hvac and I just needed a bit of supplemental heat overnight. This little heater is perfect and is still working just as new. I park myself and my morning coffee near it every am and it's handsome glow keeps me quite comfortable. It has several different modes but I keep it on regular auto. It turns itself on and off automatically with the built in thermostat so I keep it on 68 degrees all the time. It is super safe. The cord is nice and long so I can keep it in the middle of the room without worry I will trip. The remote is super easy to use. And unlike almost all other heaters, it is actually stylish. When not in use, I just unplug it and roll it back into the corner on it's very effective casters and it looks like a little piece of furniture. It stayed in the sun room all last year with no worries. No need to box it up and pack it away as it is pretty and the case is made of a nice stained wood. I just now bought another one of these lovelies for my husband's office. The best little space heater we have ever owned. ... show more

  • Bargain heater, tough on the eyes
Style: Original
This is one of the best heaters I've ever owned, my third infrared heater, the eco mode works great, the heat is awesome, has a little fan for distribution, has wheels, a good quality long power cord, but this is HANDS DOWN the ugliest thing in my house. It's pretty energy efficient considering heating my entire house would cost over $250 per month, but MAN this thing is ugly. I don't understand why it was even made of wood, it just makes it 3X heaver than it needs to be. It comes with a remote! That doesn't really do anything great because you have to turn the unit on/off manually no matter what... so if you get cold at night you have to physically get up to turn it on even if the remote is on your night stand. My last note is that is is not "whisper quiet" the way people like to use that marketing copy, it's a fan, when you sleep an night even the lowest setting would sound like multiple computer fans running. So a great value, strange construction and aesthetics, but if you want infrared heat, it's a great price. ... show more

  • It's good!
Style: Original
We've used similar types of IR boxy heaters for many years, and they really work well. The first was another brand that got used extensively for maybe 4 or 5 years before one of the 4 IR bulbs gave out. The second one (same brand) we used for maybe the last 3 or 4 years, but the sheet metal case developed an annoying vibration/hum I couldn't get rid of. While it worked fine, the sound was bugging us, which eventually made me want to try a new one. So, seeing this Dr Infrared unit on sale here I figured let's try one of these. I'm a little disappointed it only has one Infrared bulb, and was aware that it also has a secondary ceramic heater internally. However, it's still a 1500 watt unit, same as the others we had. So, how does it compare? Very well! I really like the vibration free and smooth sounding operation, it's a gentle steady woosh, and thanks to the solid wood casing around the internal metal "box" the sound is well dampened. And it blends into our mostly wood interior space in a nice way. As far as its heat output, it's definitely doing a good job. Our main living space is a decent sized open living room with an attached kitchen area. The last 6 days/nights since it was delivered have all been highs around 36 f and down into the mid 20's at night, and this heater can keep the main part of the house we spend most of our time in at 68-70 comfortably on its own, which is pretty impressive for such a little thing. The thermostat works perfectly, and I like that it defaults at 68. Our others defaulted at max, so you always had to dial them down to a reasonable temp setting when you turned them on. It quietly and consistently cycles on and off spot on its set temperature according to our indoor thermometer (it reads a couple degrees lower being on the floor vs our indoor thermometer much higher up on a wall, so 68 on the floor = 70 on the wall)) It has a nightmode feature, which I was hoping might dim the bright display and maybe slow the fan too a little?, but it only reduces the normal 4-5 minutes air temp on/off sampling cycle to a 30 minute cycle. So, once it's reached its set temp and the fan and heater go into standby, it stays off and silent for a full thirty minutes before it'll turn on and sample the temp again. I'm not experiencing or feeling a downgrade from our other units we used for so many years, despite those being 4 IR bulb units. Those cost about the same, but this unit so far is heating up the same space just as well, and doing it more quietly. The build quality and sturdy compact cabinet with nice big push buttons, smooth fan and some decent features makes it feel like a nice upgrade in fact. ... show more

  • Thats HOT
Style: Original
Very nice looking unit, moves around with ease on carpet, gets up to temp fast! I mean in seconds its blowing out heat, comes with a remote, doesn't make a lot of noise, doesn't take up a lot of room, has a lot of safety/auto shut off features. Not heavy at all. Simple set up, plug it in to a wall socket and turn it on! DO NOT use a SMALL/THIN extension cord, this thing is power hungry 1500 watts so USE of a smaller GAUGED extension cord could result in a fire! Be safe and warm and plug this thing securely into the wall (plug) ;) ... show more
