As seen on TV 350 watt ceramic heater. Will it work for my camper?

[@SuperG11123]

Thermostats are on/off only and not variable, so the fact that you set it for 67F but it only reached 61F means it likely reached max. output and ran continuously all night (evident by the smooth temp. curve with only one dip around 7:40 pm when you started the test). Also, the fact that that you put the thermometer right next to the heater means that was likely the hottest part of the trailer so, for instance, the floor plus the opposite side of the space were likely significantly cooler. Probably okay for night sleeping with lots of blankets but would you be happy with a max. daytime temp inside the trailer of 61F based on an outside temp around 31F? Would like to see a max. temp setting test to confirm... P.S: A full-size 1500/750W dual output heater would never cook you in there if you put it on a low setting as it would just cycle on and off more thru out the day or night to maintain temp. yet still have enough capacity to give you all the heat you need when required... Interesting test though.

The Festool is strong in you........Best of luck from here in Ireland.

Just bought 4 of em from Temu for $10 each. I've had 2 of them running for about 10 minutes in a 36' 5th wheel. It's 59 outside and we're up from 61 to a steady 68 with two running on either end of the RV. Happy so far! We'll see how they do when it gets much colder. We were using one 1500w ceramic tower heater and one 1500w oil heater. If we can micro-heat all 3 major zones with 3 heaters running at 500w, thatll cut our heating cost in half.

[@gphilipc2031]

That seems like a good Idea for distribution of heat.

[@gphilipc2031]

Since your T Stat never reached set point the heater ran continuously during the timed interval. That would mean setting at 90 deg would not have made any difference. You still only would have gotten up to 61 deg regardless. The implication is you would have needed a higher wattage heater to reach set point in that particular RV camper.

Full power for a space heater is 1500 watts. Which translates to only a little over 5,000 BTUs The good news is that you can plug more than 3 in and not have to worry about throwing a circuit…. But I would rather purchase a three level fan heater that can still run at full power or limited depending on my choosing

No No No I just watched a video review that said DO NOT USE IN BATHROOM.. obvious moisture and fog can cause electrical damage … But I will try this for our bedroom …. Thanks !

[@Heartfelt-zv7wh]

That’s nice thst you reply to your comments 🤗

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I try to get to all of them😀

[@MathewClark-np6vz]

I have 3 of these , I use them in my living room I like them.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

👍🏻

[@whydontyouaskme]

I just ordered one 🤦🏽‍♂️ I hope all the people in the comments are just idiots. It seems like they’re trying to warm up a room, this is meant for small spaces. So I’m hoping this is going to keep my wagon camper comfortable. I don’t like heat either but i caved it was cold for me and my pet. I’ll leave a follow up 11/10/24 if I remember or get a notification

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

It’s a nice option for a SMALL space. This was never meant to be used for a large room. Some people that think that are just not “all there”.

[@afairman1927]

Being so close to that other wall would freak me out man.... id be so paranoid of a fire

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

👍🏻 valid

[@truespirit4357]

Why you put thermometer next to heat? You should have put the thermometer other corner of the rooom

[@retro9173]

Thank you! ..ikr

[@justinm1882]

Yea really would of been different

[@kjh789az]

Thanks for reviewing. I guess its ok for small spaces, but the ad claims are BS saying its going to save us money over our central heating system. It will, but my nuts are going to freeze! On a safety note, I'd only run this, including while I'm sleeping, with a reliable smoke detector close by it.

[@douyinfan8120]

Omg.. I was trying to get some of those. Thanks for the video

[@sophiawish9772]

I saw another review and it was called "the Russell Hobbs" ceramic heater. Wonder if this is being sold under a number of names?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Highly likely

[@Skully-w4n]

The scammers behind this bait-and-switch are continuously rebranding the same ineffective products, previously marketed as EcoHeat, Hot Amigo, Life Heater, Warmool Heater, Cosmo Heater, and now Toasty Heater.

[@williecunningham3725]

Where is the one like this one with the remote? Test that one!!!😁 They have heaters that do 1500 and can also do less as well such as 650 or 750? That might take you to your target 67 ° faster??

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I’ll have to find one of those👍🏻

[@pnndrgn]

I bought the one w/ remote about a year and half ago for under 10 dollars. I use it in my cubicle at work. It works flawlessly

[@janetsimpson4799]

I love my ecowarm heaters ,I have them in my flat

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I have them in my bedroom , hall , livingroom and kitchen , in the UK , well I live in Scotland the gas prices have went up sky high , these space heaters are the best buy ever , seasons greetings

Aiwa as well. Ollie's sold those heaters with the Aiwa name last year. Which is weird because Aiwa was known for stereo systems. Several years ago I had a great Aiwa stereo. Now Aiwa sells different kinds of products. Including coffee makers.

[@JoAnnBallman]

The weight of the heater pulls it out and away from the electric outlet.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

I’ve heard that complaint, but so far mine has been staying plugged in tightly against the outlet

[@michaelmcphee4732]

I received 4 of these in Nov 2023. The issue I have is the rotating plug on the unit sets it 1.5" from the wall to the weight of the unit and pulls the unit from the wall plug. I think they altered it a bit to give better air input. I am not sure what I will do with these. @@BrianWatersOutdoors

[@HandyTim]

So flip the outlet upside down 😅

[@USMC-cv5sd]

​@@HandyTim Green Goblin, " A WORD TO THE NOT SO WISE !!" 😂😅

[@cindyp1337]

​@@HandyTimthat's exactly what I did. On high room finally warms up and feet are no longer cold after a couple of hours. You have to stand directly in front of heater to use the tiny remote control which has no range.

[@sx20Ramar]

You want warmth? Get a Mr. Heater. Real heat! 😮

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Got one 👍🏻

[@fu8713]

Bros getting paid for it so of course he gonna say it works 😂 As soon as he said click the link lol

[@ebbiketrip2497]

So the camper was in the garage, how cold did it get in the garage? The screenshot looks like outside temp from an iphone.

[@howi5065]

I see you have your rolling tool box behind you. Where have you put the big systainer sysport you built?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Good catch! I had to put the sysport organizer in my big garage and move back the tool chest because that was taking up too much space and I couldn’t get the camper to fit in the garage properly.

[@winstonsmith935]

Calculate the Heat Loss from the room you are using, then size your Heater to match your heat loss. Example if you live in Zone 3 ( Moderate) then you need 40 to 45 Btus per square foot to heat your place. That heater is not going to do it.

[@duanerykhus9425]

Thank you

[@danookamiservantofCHRIST5304]

They all suck I tried 3 of them and they don’t work they constantly shut off and don’t stay on long enough to warm anything

[@t.d.9285]

I wonder if it's possible to measure the actual number of watts used?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

It would be, could simply plug it into a kill-a-watt meter

[@mplscarsales6652]

330 is what others tested it at even though they say 500

[@normt430]

Another said about 318w when heating element is on but hardly any when cooling.

[@scs81b]

Nice review.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@frankc6430]

what size camper do you have ?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

A small 5x10

[@bswift5]

Can I use with extension chord?

[@Strange_Brew]

Campers are not that well insulated. Usually a 1500 watt heater will barely heat a camper if it’s freezing outside.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

👍🏻

[@davidjohnson4343]

1500 watts is a room heater perhaps 120 sq ft. for near freezing temps.

[@ebbiketrip2497]

I have a 5x10 homebuilt (6’ ceiling)camper and a 1500 watt heater kept it at 70f when it was -10f out. A 1500 watt heater would cook him out of his teardrop.

[@waynesaller]

350 watts would not heat my closet.

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

[@Bobster986]

You can get better results by using a 1500w hair dryer 😂

[@facts1752]

Did you run that on deep cycle batteries?

[@BrianWatersOutdoors]

No. Direct electricity plugged into my camper

[@facts1752]

Buy two of them. Florida, we don't need it.

I bought two of these and I thought it would help my electricity no it has not so I'm selling them cuz I don't want my electric to be higher than it was so it's a waste of money don't buy them
