Dr Infrared Heater DR-968 Portable Space Heater, 1500-Watt, Cherry

I originally bought this for my basement because it’s always the coldest part of my house. I wasn’t expecting miracles from a portable heater. I really just wanted something that would make it comfortable without having to crank up the heat for the entire house.Well, this thing surprised me.I can run it in the basement and after it’s been going for a while, you’re not just feeling heat when you’re standing in front of it. The actual room gets warmer. That’s the biggest difference I’ve noticed compared to some of the smaller space heaters I’ve owned.I also like being able to keep the rest of th

I bought an original older model over 4 years ago. We live in a "drafty" old farm house with modest to poor insullation. The house is about 1400 SF. The reason I bought it was because I have LP Gas heat, and LP Gas is more than twice to three times the cost of natural gas. Now, Normally my LP heating bill runs around $3,000 per year. Its horrible. I also have NIPSCO Electric, and they are high also.So I bought the little Dr heater., Plugged it in in my 600 SF living room and it did the trick. Normally when the temps are all the way down to 20 degrees outdoors, it provided plenty of heat for th

Hey folks I live in a 28-foot RV or / travel trailer right now I am surrounded by a foot and a half of snow the outside temperature is about 32 degrees or a little less and right now I'm sitting comfortably and my trailer at a room temperature of 60°. Also I have 13 single pane windows that I've covered in a insulated styrofoam if you will like you would find on the inside of a roll up garage door and I have what they call the Northwest package but it doesn't bring my insulation rating down below freezing or any by freezing time without prep you'd be out of luck but here's a single heater runn

For the first time in my life I'm living in a house that runs off oil heat. As some background, my wife and I are from Arizona and now that we live in Connecticut we like to keep our house warmer than most since we are complete wusses when it comes to the cold. When I walked down into the basement and realized that we had burned through almost 200 gallons of gas in less than 2 months I nearly had a panic attack (our house is only 1400 square feet). I knew something had to change and I'd rather not wear 3 sweaters in order to stay comfortable while working from home. After some research, I deci

Happily savoring my coffee on a cool, September morning, my bare feet are basking in Dr. Heater's warmth! This small appliance has made a huge impact on my life:* After having paid for annual maintenance on the much-touted heat pump I installed before retiring, I was suddenly shown this fall that it was in bad shape from accumulated "gunk" that would cost a huge amount to address on top of the maintenance (& quite possibly result in needing a new unit anyway!). And of course those costs would repeat & continue to rise year after year!* Furious that my once trusted, local public utility had sac

After doing quite a bit of research, the DR-968 really stood out as one of the best space heaters in its class. Its compact size makes it easy to place almost anywhere, but don't let the size fool you. This heater is a beast when it comes to putting out heat, and it looks great too. The cherry finish blends nicely with furniture, and the included remote is a convenient bonus.I have to admit I was skeptical about its heating performance because of its small footprint. To compare it against my tower ceramic heaters, I ordered two of these units in August and put them through some testing. With t

We have a couple of Eden Pures, and decided to purchase one more. We found this one on Amazon and did some research on them. It sounded like they were pretty much the same type of heater as the eden pures, with a better price, so we purchased one.. It does work really well, although, I really can't figure out how all the different buttons work.. But as far as turning it on and having it run, it's great. It gets a lot hotter than the eden pures, and unfortunately, when we got our first electric bill after using it daily for a month, the bill had gone up significantly.It had a really strong odor

We bought this heater to use in our living room and kitchen/dining area. We have all baseboard heat and our heating bills are usually through the roof. This heater does a good job and we are very happy, but there are a few things to point out.1. It is a smaller heater than you might expect. It is half the price of an eden pure...but be advised that it's about half the size of the eden pure my parents have. That said, I think I'd rather have two of these than one eden pure that way I can space them out more.2. This thing won't heat a 1000 sq/ft area. We use it in a 250-300 sq/ft living room tha
