We have had many posts on these types of heaters. Save your money and go buy a 25 dollar space heater. After all 1500 watts is 1500 watts no matter what brand the heater is. One sells for Those Over priced Edenpure, and one is a way better price and does the same thing for 20 to 30 bucks.

Ya here is just one of them LOL

Here’s an article from ripoffreport written by someone who used to work at the company that makes Edenpure. I believe it because they aren’t trying to sell anything, just give advice. I wouldnt put too much stock in the warehouse workers though, I’m sure a lot of companies have those problems.

Some of the more common complaints I’ve read about the Edenpure heater:

Quartz bulb burns out
Too expensive (about $300) for a space heater you can buy at Wal-Mart for 1/10th the price
Doesn’t put out enough heat
Raises electricity bills
But hey, at least it wont catch your house on fire.

Bottom Line:

The reason they say it will cut your heating bill by 50% is that you are changing from central heat, to a space heater. This means that you have to move the heater around to each room you are in to stay comfortable. It’s a change in strategy, not a new amazing product. I’m going to take our a lame ad in Popular Science with the slogan:

SLASH your Energy Bills FOREVER!!!

Do you know what I’ll be selling? A Snuggie.

We have one , love it, it goes with us in the camper when we go away, right now its heating this end of the house, It saves a lot on the electric bill.. Its 23 lbs and on wheels, so easy to move from room to room if need be.

Same output as a good hairdryer.

Don't buy it. Mom has a couple she bought from the only place around that also services them. Her heaters have been in the shop more often than they should.

Check out the space heaters at places like Lowes or Target. They have some nice inexpensive ones with thermostats.

We've had one three years. They are OK to take the chill out of a room when it's only chilly outside. If ours runs 24 hours a day, it will run the electric bill up over $90 a month. You can buy a small 750/1500 watt heater for under $40 that will put out as much heat. It will also have a thermostat and an automatic shut off if it is upset.
We bought 2 of them at a yard sale 30 years ago for $2 each. They both still work.
I will sell our Eden Pure for less than half of what it cost. That still wouldn't be a bargain.

I have had mine for 4 trouble-free years. Love it. We use it in place of the furnace during above freezing temps outside. Under freezing, we kick on the furnace.

It's up to you how you want to spend your money.

I would go for choice B it would be worth the ten bucks not to have to hold the hair dryer!!!!!

My in-laws bought one to TRY to heat a sunporch they insulated, couldn't even bring it up to temp. They took it back and put in a vent free propane fireplace.

We have the similiar one put out by Oreck. We have had it two winters now. We use it in our master bedroom that does not have any type of heat. It works nicely! I honestly havent noticed a cost difference on our bill and we are on budget billing so I think I would notice it if there was a big enough difference.

We also use our space heater as much as we can through the winter. Turning the furnace off saves on energy and prolongs the life of the furnace filter, right? The portable fireplaces also produce nice heat. My in-laws have one in their basement and it gets VERY warm.

BF bought one off an infomercial last winter. I thought he was a moron, but having no other heat (I had a space heater) in the bedrooms, I am amazed at how well it works. We have gotten down to the teens outside and this has kept me very warm. I am reluctantly impressed.

Do a search on "Eden Pure" and you'll find several threads. Here are a few:

Anyone have that Nature Pure, stove

EdenPure space heater ...

Infrared heaters? Opinions?

I use mine to heat an uninsulated upstairs floor during a Northeast Montana winter and it raises the heat bill $50. It makes the upstairs nice and toasty. We have another one on the farm that heats the concrete basement during those same winters. I've had them both for about 4 years and have had no problems.
