How does this one compare to the $289 TWFP1500 that you can find at sunheat.com or sunheatinternational?

I am not familiar with the other one. This one is well constructed. Looks great. Rolls easily. I have it in my living room that has 2 6ft openings on each end. It heats this room well but takes a little time to get there. I use to maintain temp in the room. It is located below my thermostat. in a more closed in area it would really heat well. I plan to get another for basement when I finish off a room. the remote works well. This is my second heating season with it. blower is a touch loud but not bad. I turn up TV just a bit. But its not annoying in any way. I get lots of compliments on it. I recommend it

I have the Druaflame Infrared, but I have no knowledge of the TWFP 1500 so no way to compare.

In fact i return this model back and got the B490B model form the same manufacturer. It worth the +$65. You get a better illumination "halogen" and a better controllers. The quality is much better in the B490B. The bulb heat in the B490B is much less than the one in the B100B, since it uses halogen vs tungsten.

Best I can tell, $38 is the difference. I have the RTH5510b1000A and it is programed for four different times/setting daily, and works fine. I only have central heating , no AC, and no Zones, so mine is the simplest scenario for a thermostat.

The difference is strictly how many components can be hooked up to it. I believe the H10 is 250 watts and the H15 is 400 watts. They both perform the same for power conditioning and component protection. I bought two H15 units out of an ubundance of caution, when I had more power-hungry components. I've never gone above 50% of the H15's capacity, and as new components become more efficient the percentage will continue to drop. If I was buying one today, I'd be much more likely to select an H10 than before.

Hi this model is a floor unit while the g73 is a wall or ceiling mounted unit. Also it has the design of the Dayton brand heaters. Lastly the g73 is rated at 5000 watts peak usage while the g56 is 5600 watts. G56 puts off slightly more heat as far as I can tell. Price of the g73 is substantially more than the g56 due to this I went with the g56 since you can almost buy 2 for the price of 1 g73

Tl;dr- China, and maybe.I bought this for my g/f and she and I are both pretty happy with it, but it isn't like buying a hakko or metcal where you expect it to last until the sun dims. Having said that, when I cracked the heating element it was quick and easy to find parts both locally (Fry's) and online. Whether that will be true in ten years remains to be seen.

It heats up pretty fast but I recommend another flat iron that I bought on AMAZON for less money and it's Fantastic!!!! Go look at the reviews for FHI G3......THE BEST ..,.IT HAS INFRARED AND CERAMIC PLATES heats up really fast and 3/4 the price!!!!!So much better than this flat iron!!!

i would recomend the koldfront pac1401w this portable works very well we bought this one for our large bedroom, that was very hot in the summmer. what a difference it made. this unit is very easy to assemble and to run. we figured it cost us about a 1.00 a day to use.

I have so idea about the MCS 510, but I can tell you I really like the MCS-370H a lot. Gives me some real relief in my back and I do not use the heat function at all.

I agree with the others. My Phenom 9850BE processor noticeably warms my room up under heavy load as it is. I expect that this one at 220 watts would definitely affect your heating/cooling expenses. Nothin' gives ya the WARM fuzzies like a fast multicore processor! :-)

One watt = 3.41 BTU's. A 1500 watt heater will produce 5115 BTU's/hr. and at 800 watts will produce 2728 BTU's. A great money-saving alternative to heating the entire home, this portable electric heater delivers comfortable warmth wherever it's needed most. Designed for a large 16-by-16-foot room with an 8-foot ceiling, the unit's energy-efficient Vortex technology fully circulates warm air throughout the room in just minutes. Choose from two heat settings--low at 800 watts or high at 1500 watts. For added convenience, its automatic climate control adjusts the heat output and fan speed at all times to maintain the set temperature, which means the room doesn't need to cool down in order for the heater to turn back on. Great for at home or at the office, the unit offers simple top-mounted controls, whisper-quiet operation, and a variety of safety features including a cool-touch cabinet and grill, a non-glowing heating element, and automatic shut-off for peace of mind. Model is made for 120 Volts only. I use mine in my motorhome which is 8.5' x 37' and it does a good job in the front 2/3rds. of it. When the outside temp falls below freezing it struggles to maintain 70 degrees but a motorhome is not very well insulated and has lots of window glass to transfer cold. I am very pleased with mine and recently purchased another one. There are cheaper heaters on the market but I haven't found any that out perform this one.

I have purchased several of the Sunbeam units over the past 15 years. I found it was hit and miss - you get a good one or you get one that leaks and have to take it back. About 5 years ago I switched to a Rowenta portable steamer, which cost a little more, and would not go back to the Sunbeam.

Please post a link if you know this specific model is on sale somewhere! :) I've seen the lesser versions (1810TZ and 1410) on sale and people confuse them with the 1810T, but this is the specific one I'm hoping to buy ASAP!

The 4930 cost more, is 5" smaller, and the controls are arranged differently. Other than that, I don't see much of a difference in the two. If you are looking for a model that will circulate the air in the room with some efficiency, keep it cool, and has simple to understand buttons, the cheaper of the two will work for you. I use mine in my masterbed room and that's a good 11' x 19'. Mine has kept my room well cooled during the hot summer months and keeps it cool. It works best in an area on the floor that it won't get knocked over by rowdy kids or out of control pets. Though my cats bumped me into mine and I knocked my over and no damage done. Works perfectly like the day I bought it. You just don't want to knock over any fan no matter what and place it on a firm level surface for best stability. Just my words of wisdom there, or call it the voice of experience. Save the extra cash and go for the model #4443 I'm sure you won't be terribly disappointed with the purchase.

Our electric bill increased less than$8/mo (run heater 8-9 hrs/day in our sunporch here in MI). Bear in mind we use the 1500 Edenpure. Recommend you use a 1500 - cost might be more, but it will pay for itself.

Look at the ThermoPop model from the same manufacturer if backlighting is important to you. Same price range and specifications, just a different design + backlighting.

try http://www.sunpumps.com/ I would have gone with all solar, but the payback is too long. The Hayward draws about 1/2 amp less than stated on manual/plate in my installation. Please note amp draw will be dependent on how much resistance the pump has. The higher the resistance the higher the amp draw at any given RPM.
