PHH15002 Fahrenheat, In a word: Disappointing

Overall Rating44444

In a word: Disappointing

In theory, liquid-filled heaters are better than other styles, and the Delonghi oil-filled electric radiator space heater I purchased 7 or 8 years ago performed incredibly well under constant and intense use until recently, when the oil started leaking a tiny bit from various hairline cracks in the metal. I purchased a new model Delonghi which, much to my consternation, was a piece of junk unlike its stalwart predecessor, and so I tried this QMARK/Fahrenheat PHH15002. This unit generates _no_ discernible heat on the ‘low’ setting (truly - you can actually touch the element itself and feel that it is barely lukewarm), and very little on ‘high’. People are fond of saying ‘watts are watts’ and therefore any heaters with equivalent draw are “the same” but clearly there’s more to it than that: my old Delonghi at 1500 watts got very hot to the touch and warmed a 200 sf room with no problem, whereas the also 1500 watt PHH15002 barely scores as tepid, and could not heat a closet if its sorry little metal life depended on it.

Update (2/9/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Fahrenheat liquid-filled haeter
Very fast shipping. Product arrived with one end cap of heater off, but was easy to reintall. Heater works great, keeps my upstairs hallway comfortable. Very good heat retension. Satisfied with the product.

works great
I own this heater and am online to buy another. Can’t comment about shipping problems, but the heater has worked great for 2 years. Someone commented that you have to unplug to turn it off–not so. Simply rotate thermostat to left until it stops, as described in the operating instructions.
