Orpat OEH-1220 2000-Watt Fan Heater (White) - Product Review

This Post is a product review of "Orpat OEH-1220 2000-Watt Fan Heater (White)" bought from Amazon.

I bought this heater as my room during winters gets real cold that makes it unbearable to sleep at night.

Let me share Pros & Cons about this heater based on my experience of using this product now for a while.

Pros:
  • It has 2 Heat Setting knob (1000 Watt & 2000 Watt) basically to warm up the room at a faster pace like the knobs we have in ceiling fans. So basically these are the modes at which the heater works. 
  • it has a safety mesh at the front which makes it easy to use and handle even while the machine is running.
  • The first knob when you start the machine turns on the fan. This does not heat up the room. it's just the normal fan.
  • It is ideal for small rooms like 10x10 or 11x11. Placing it in a hall or larger room will not warm / heat up / regulate the room temperature effectively and quickly.
  • it's effectively for rooms measuring upto 20x20 ft. 
  • 25-30 minutes it takes the heater to warm a small size room on knob 1
  • 15-20 minutes it takes to warm the room on knob 2
  • it has a cool touch body. The hot element (copper wire) inside the machine is well guarded. So chances of getting shock or burned while handling the device are minimum.
  • It does not occupy much space
  • Portable. Can be easily packed and unpacked and kept anywhere in the room.
  • You can move the machine easily even while its running.
  • Light weight.
  • it has a safety and thermal cut-off to prevent any shocks / sparks during long usage at high temperature.
  • The heat from the machine is not prickly
  • ISI marked
  • it comes with a 1m wire
Cons:
  • it does create noise(low) while the machine is in use. But the noise is not too disturbing or loud and one get used to it.
  • Avoid using it too close to skin sensitive people / kids / infants
  • Long hour usage may dry up the air in room. Better to keep a bucket of water (half filled) to maintain room moisture.
  • it does not have the regular plug to plug in. It comes with a 15 amp plug. So make sure you have those wide power switch boxes (15-16 amp) and not the normal switch boards to plug in the device.
Overall, this a very good product as it heats up room pretty quickly. The heat from the machine is strong to regulate a small room / hall / space effectively.

Warranty:

It has a 1 year Warranty.

Price:

It's not too expensive. I have bought this product twice from Amazon. First time i bought this for 1000 bucks and later for 839. So one can set price alert if planning to buy it in near future. I have seen this product being sold for as low as 750 bucks on Amazon. So keep a price trigger running for this product,

Recommendation:

It's a value for money product. A must have product during winters to beat the cold.
