Product Description

The LIFESMART Compact Power Plus 800 Square Foot Heater is the first in our series of high heat output Infrared Heaters that are revolutionary in design to offer you safe, healthy and therapeutic heat for a room area of up to 800 square feet and save you money and energy. LIFESMART offers ultra-efficient, safe and evenly distributed heat at less cost than other heating systems. This heater features 3 of our exclusive Infrared Quartz Elements that are metal wrapped so each element acts as its own heat exchanger producing more heat output. There is also a Lifetime Air Filter. In house testing has shown our heaters are 38% more efficient then forced air electric, 66% more efficient then propane and 45% more efficient then electric baseboard yet the LIFESMART Infrared Heater only uses up to 1500 watts which is no more than a common hair dryer! There are 3 energy savings settings including an Eco Setting that will heat smaller areas to 68 degrees using only 500 watts. The results are an even distribution of heat without the heat loss that normally occurs at windows, ceilings and walls.The heater is encased in a stylish Quakerstown Dark Oak cabinet that is cool to the touch. This amazing compact heater also includes a new larger remote control to operate the Digital Thermostat and Dual Timer settings that can be used to turn the unit on in up to 12 hours so your room is warm when you come home or turn off in up to 12 hours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good buy, toasty warm

I have two of these, they are great. They take the chill off my home in the am. I have a very poorly insulated kitchen with an outside wall and this keeps my fridge from running constantly during cold weather. My furnace was out for a couple of weeks during a cold spell and these little heaters helped to keep me and my little fur kids toasty warm. I'm amazed that such little units can help so much. One day during the cold spell (high of 28 degrees), these little units kept most of my home at 68 degrees. These are a very good purchase. The times work well for both on and off and the temperate gauges seem to be fairly accurate. The only con to these is I wish they have wheels on the bottom I know that they are short but I'd still like to be able to roll them around but I wouldn't not purchase because of lack of wheels.

It doesn't look like the typical space heater, which is nice, and it goes well with my antiques, but it came with a chip in the wood (I did not want to go to the bother of packing it all up and returning it for that). It seems to heat well, but it blows COLD air for quite a while after the heat coils shut off. I haven't seen an electric bill yet to judge about that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heater Performance

Unit is OK. Requires an isolated outlet.My new house has no electrical diagram, so I have to use the outlet that is physicaly conveniant since an extension cord is not allowed. Instructions state no servicable parts inside,prabably to protect them from lawsuites. After contacting the mfr, they indicated they may sell the infrared lamps if requested.Lifespan on the elements is around 20,000 hours. The timer instructions are ambiguous! I still don't know how to shut the unit off once programed.,The blower fan is slightly noisy, and the three heat functions are satisfactory. Unit produces moderate heat flow, to be used in conjunction with the
house furnace. I haven't had an opportunity to run it as a sole heat souce in my living/'dining room which is about 500 sq ft, so I can't comment .

If you set 5 to 8 feet directly in from of this unit heat heats good. Controlling time and temp to turn off unit will not work properly.

Another bad purchase by me trusting AMAZON'S Review "You Purchases" .........

Bought this for a basement family room that is not heated by the main heating system (a little under 400 sq ft). Says it will heat 800 sq ft, but needs to run constantly just to keep the temp at 70 deg. I would definitely think about buying a larger model if you're going to use it as a primary source of heat for a room.

5.0 out of 5 stars does what it claims
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2013

I knew from researching that these little heaters were designed to supplement the existing heating source--not replace it-- and that results would vary according to various factors. While most brands had similar features, I chose this one for its compact style and good looks. (it resembles an old-fashioned cabinet radio) Like everyone in cold winter areas, the ever-higher cost of fuel keeps one hand on the thermostat and the other on the wallet, and keeping costs down was the primary reason for trying this infrared heater. I wanted to use the heater where we spend the most time: in the living/family room where the T.V. is. My concern was that this first-floor room did not meet ideal criteria: it's part of an open floor plan, has a staircase for heat to escape, lots of windows, and the only independent electrical outlet would put the heater toward the furnace thermostat. My plan was to use the Lifesmart about 12 hours during the day hours (we are night workers) and see if we could feel adequately warm while burning less oil. Here's what I found:

The heater will keep the area a few degrees warmer than your furnace thermostat is set for. You're not going to get an 80 degree room when your thermostat is set on 62. Sunny winter days are the exception--the room's temperature will rise more on those days, and the Lifesmart will actually cycle off. When the room temperature feels comfortable, the low setting will maintain it. (great feature) While the heater is running, guess what's not kicking on as often: the furnace. (cha-ching) There is definitely a cozy feeling with this type of heat, in the room in which it's used. It helps to pay attention on a daily basis to various conditions so you can adjust accordingly from high to low setting, or to raise or lower the furnace thermostat, etc. We crunched a few (kilowatt hours) numbers, but I think we'd have to do that over a few seasons for any data to actually make sense. We used about as much oil as we did last year during the warmest winter on record--and this winter was far colder.

Yes, the second floor was cooler when operating the Lifesmart--no surprise there. Yes, the electric bill was higher, but only about 60 dollars a month in comparison to, say, an extra hundred gallons of oil saved. We chose to keep the thermostat low (64 and even 62) for the savings, but could've kept the temperatues even warmer without spending more than usual. In a smaller area, in rooms that could be closed off, in differenct situations than ours, the results would even be better. The Lifesmart looks good, is light and the filter easy to remove and maintain, and I am very pleased with the purchase.

I started out with Eden Pure heaters several years ago and paid big money-since then I have learned the ins and outs of quartz bulb heaters. I have replaced both types of bulbs on my two Eden Pures and the older ones require more work than others. In my opinion the tube type bulbs last longer than the Gen 4 plug in ones.Anyway-I bought one of these babies from warehouse deals and can only say I wish I'd bought two more. I am selling my Eden Pure Gen 4 and by this time next year will get at least 2 more Lifesmart brand heaters. I am well pleased with this one and will just have to decide if I want 2 more small ones or a large one and another one of the small ones....I rebuilt my furnace a few years ago and not to be bragging but for a 1979 gas hog-it does pretty well after I revamped all the guts and we keep it low then supplement with the quartz heaters-by the way I live in a big 3 story Victorian built in 1895. At first I doubted the Lifesmart brand and I will tell you that for the cost and efficiency they are worth every penny whatever the model.
I especially like the temp.,timer and power settings......happy shopping.....
