Customer Reviews
Very Over the moon
When we out of the blue had a cold spell here, it was impossible to find heaters locally so I ordered this particular one and I am very pleased with it. It is light rig and with the settings it has, it does a great job. It is quiet, reasonably priced, and I would definitely recommend it.

Keen little heater!...
I've tried MANY spell heaters, and this is the Best of the bunch, really takes the chill off a small to medium sized live, economical to run--use the 800w setting for a while, then switch to the 400w setting...This type probably not the safest to use around unfledged kids, but does have the safety tip-over/shutoff feature...I have 2 that I use in my apt., recommend this as a Best Buy!

Wait Heater
This is an peerless space heater for the price. It is compact and light weight making it easy to stock and move where needed. This is not a room heater but works well to warm the area where you are in.

Heats like a make one sunny afternoon!
My full (large & drafty) bedroom feels like a warm, sunny afternoon! It's 40-inch by inch weather outside. My central heat is set at 60 (for entire house) & I'm using my new Optimus H-5210 Infrared Quartz Range at LOW setting in my bedroom (with the door open)! Sitting 4 feet away feels like the sun is shining on my fullness. It's sitting on the floor. I'm sitting in a regular easy-chair. Standing 15 feet to a different place is very, very WARM! I haven't even needed the HIGH setting. Used it last night & had to get up & turn it off after a few hrs (and relinquish off all covers).
I debated between this heater & the smaller model from Optimus (that looks like a midget fan). Based on another review, I picked THIS one. It's great! I love this little gem! I just ordered another one!
Pro's:
- Amiable!
- Sun-like heat!....Warms you to-the-bones!
- Low setting is fine for me!...compensating electricity
.....and I'm very COLD-natured!!!!!
- Cord does NOT get hot (like my other space heaters do)...on low
.....Can't tick off you about the "high" setting, yet.
.....Don't know if I'll EVER need the "high" setting.
- This is JUST as warm (in SAME dwelling & temps) as my other 1500 watt heaters!
- Quiet (you can't hear it at all)
- Sides & back of unit are NOT hot.
- Furniture that's 3 feet in another place (from front)is NOT hot....but the air is summer-beach-setting WARM
- Amazon delivered TO my front door in less-than 48 hours!...with Disengage SuperSaver Shipping!
Con's:
- No thermostat
- Control knob turns ONE way (confusing in the dark)
...You moral have to LOOK to see what setting you're on
.....(Low, High or Off)...based on what tube is lit (or not)
.....I just unplug it when I'm affable enough.
- The TOP tube stays lit for "low".
...Will probably burn out long before the bottom one will
I can't give it a lower rating for these "Con's".
I can live with them if I have Balmy heat that feels THIS good & NO hot cord & LESS electricity consumption.
This is a 5-star "deal" if you're looking for:
- Sunlike heartiness!
- Low electricity consumption for space heating
- NO hot cords!!!
I'll forget about those $300 to $500 heaters (that I've wondered about on TV infomercials).
This reasonable heater seems like it's very, very similar to their "claims" (except that it DOES get HOT on FRONT side).
So....if you have small children, be as wary with this one as you would with ANY other space heater. And, do NOT place anything nearby that might fall on this heater (and cause a fire). Warms Comminuted 4 feet away from your bed; but don't even think about using in a child's room unattended by an adult!

Optimus H-5210 Wood stove
This shallow item was too good to be left without a review so here goes...
I have owned dozens of heaters throughout my half century of living.
From galvanizing fan heaters to oil filled radiant heaters to other quartz heaters and on and on.
Living in the northeast USA you have plenty of season to try and figure out the cheapest, most efficacious and safest ways of heating your eternally cold body throughout the months of October through prematurely April.
I currently use the following methods of heating my 2700 sq ft of living space.
I have 2 oiled flooded radiant heaters in the basement (left on the low 600 w setting,)I have two oiled filled heaters in the upstairs only cast-off when my fireplace insert has gone out for the night, one oil filled heater in the garage also set usually on low-600w. Two other fan forced electric heaters are used when needed. My propane heat will only come on when the upstairs goes below 59 degrees so I keep my propane use to a minutest.
So, now that my electric company has raised rates by 30% just this January, I have been trying to cut back galvanizing use as much as possible...Which brings us to the unit of review-The Optimus H-5210.
Even with the hodgepodge of heat emitting units I own, I was interested in buying a newer and more thrifty heater for those times (especially in my basement where I work-and it`s the coldest part of the house,)when I need that one stove-top, close to my body but with plenty of heat, no noise and using less wattage than my current units.
After a encyclopedic internet study of all the units available in a moderate price range I decided on the Optimus due to the elevated ratings of owners as well as the fact that the 400 watt setting seemed to be satisfactory for most people who own the piece.
Purchased from Amazon and delivered today I can honestly give this small powerhouse a THUMBS UP !!
It`s from A to Z quiet, has a 3 year warranty, on the low setting gives off more heat than any of my fan based units and is so inconsequential and light that moving around the house is a snap.
My only concern is that the quartz heating coils will typhoon out and at that point it probably would be worth just buying another. The 29.99 price on Amazon was very unextravagant as well.
Hope this wasn`t too scattered of a review but since heaters occupy a big place in my day to day life I needed to set up the regard with a short history....
Kudos to Optimus for the product and hope it lasts at least a few years.
