Anybody use a Eden Pure heater?

I'm thinking of buying one and wondering if anyone has used one. Does it have a big impact on your electricity bill? Does it live up to the claims? Any disadvantages to it?

Anyone with personal experience, your input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Looks pretty questionable to me.

It even says that it comes from "Suarez Corporation in North Canton, Ohio." That's one of the many scam operations run by a telemarketing company down there. They are also known as "International Telecomms."

It's like Scam City down there.

There are a bunch of good heaters here: http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=916370 I prefer the oil-filled ones for nice even heat when you're going to be running them a long time. For quick heat, one of the fan models may be better.
 
While I don't have any personal experience with them, Consumer Reports did an article saying that they have no advantage over any other 1500W electric heater. Way too much money for what they are.

Apologies to Paul Harvey, but he pushes Bose too, doesn't he?

I'd have to agree with stuartk's recommendations.
 
A watt is a watt. There is no magic in creating more heat from one method Vs another of creating heat by running an electrical current through a resistor no matter how fancy it is packaged. Aside from a pretty cabinet, timers, and more elaborate thermostats to turn the heating element on and off, a common $20.00 "Milk House" heater will provide exactly the same amount of heat as any other resistance heater. That includes oil filled storage heaters and quartz element heaters. While each kind of device may blow, focus, store or distribute the heat generated from the power it consumes differently, the electricity (power) that each kind consumes will generate exactly the same heat output (BTU). The marketing claims that state that you can save "up to 50% or more" (whatever the heck that means) are just that, marketing claims. They are based on moving the heat fancy source into the room that you are in and turning off the heat in a comparable size room. If one only heats half of the space what kind of saving should one expect? Deceptive? Absolutely! Simply omit or bury that little detail in the fine print and the marketing claim is then not exactly false. If you like the nice cabinet in your living space or if you have kids or pets that could come in contact with a hot toaster-like heating element in an inexpensive milk-house type heater then a model that distributes the heat evenly or gradually may be in order. Just don't expect to save any money by getting a nicely packaged electrical resistance heater unless you turn off the heat source in other areas. That is where the savings comes from.

I use a small oil filled electrical heater to supplement the heat in our guest room / wife's sewing room. It looks like a small radiator on casters. It provides up to 1500 watts of heat (exactly the same a a hair dryer) evenly with surface temperatures that are safe enough to be around grand kids, pets and even a piece of paper that might accidentally come in contact with it. Those heaters are not objectionable to look at and cost about $35 in season, even less off-season. I suggest that thing will work every bit as well as the Eden Pure thing or any other similar device, and it costs a tad less to buy and the same to operate.

Thank you. You do have to wonder with there full page photoshopped images from hell just how many suckers they get.

BTW they also sell a small "swamp cooler" with the same stupid claims and the same "Amish" workers cranking these out and loading them into a wagon like it was some lost secret that the .Gov does not want you to know about.:scratch2:
 
Mike I'll second or third the Small radiator style oil filled 1500 watt heater when I remodelled the bathroom I put one of those on the wall (I hung it on a nice looking rack made from polished copper water pipe for effect) under the bath towel rack and it both heats the small room very nicely but also warms the bath towel. And since we have the Grand Daughters I really liked the fact that while little hands might get a 1st degree burn if they were to fall against it and remain there for a couple seconds (unlikely) that would be the limit of hurt the larger surface area less concentrated heat could possibly cause.

I have placed my hand on the heater for as long as 15 seconds with only a redness occuring so they are very safe.

AND no matter what if a Goat or sheep or dog or cat were to knock it over out in your shop could it possibly be a source of ignition and burn up your shop. You could lay the thing flat on the carpet and never risk a fire.
 
Eden Pure Heater

I have had the Eden Pure Heater Model 1000 for about 4 years now. We really like it. Living in the NE especially now when it is cold and damp it's great for family room or living area. It has a nice even heat. Not like the usual heater where the heat all goes up to the ceiling. The Infra Red heat also takes the dampness out but does not make the air dry. It is not hot to the touch so it is safe around small children and pets. I just ordered the small personal heater for my grandson's nursery.

It saves on the heating bill because you are not heating the whole house just heating where you want heat.

That's some heater if it can make heat that doesn't rise, and take dampness out of the air without making it dry.

Welcome to AK. Interesting first post.

You joined to dig up a two year old thread and tell everyone that?

my mom bought one a few years ago, I'd say it will heat up a small room fairly well, but took way too long to heat up the living room. They are way too pricey for what they are I think
 
Thanks for the link. I liked the feedback comment about using 15 100 watt light bulbs to produce the same amount of heat. True!

I continue to be amazed that Edenpure and the other knock-off companies are still getting away with their deceptive marketing schemes. :gigglemad Don't we have a bureaucrat in some government agency somewhere that is supposed to be looking out for us?
 
It must take a special charisma to draw someone in off the street to resurrect a two year old thread. I'm ready for the big leagues now. :)

Speaking of Methane, this thread has generated it's own supply. I took Devoid's advice and put the tube amp back in the system. All is well.

Now we can put this thread to bed until next year.
