HS-1500-TT Infrared, 7 ft Cord, Tripod + Heater, Black

Update: Sept 2024 Really sucks that I have to update this post but this is the reality. So I read a lot of reviews about the On and off switch not working and well mine just stopped working. I opened up the panel to see if I can fix it but I couldn’t. This lamp cost over $100 and it only lasted a couple months, that’s a waste. The company needs to do better. Sucks that it broke right before it starts to get cold. Disappointed in this purchase. Waste of money. Jan 2024 I bought this lamp as a space heater for inside my garage while I’m working out during the winter and it does the trick. I like to use it during cardio too to get that sauna feel. Read a lot of reviews about having issues with the power switch. I have not had this experience. Great purchase and produces a lot of heat.

I have plenty of 1500 watt space heaters and none of them put out this amount of heat. I travel a lot and got tired of coming home to a freezing house that takes my central heating unit all day to get up to temperature. In the past I would put a space heater in each of the rooms to heat the house faster. Some of the 1500 watt space heaters I had the fans were getting loud and noisy, so I purchased this unit to replace them. I don't know how this unit manages to radiate heat so well but it really puts the heat out. The heat disburses in a nice even pattern and there are no "hot spots" to worry about. Instead of rotating a space heater to keep my feet warm for a few minutes and then changing to keep myself or the rest of the room warm, this unit heats up the whole room fast and evenly. I use to set the other heaters fairly close but this unit is 8 - 10 feet away and feels very warm all around. I plug the unit into a thermostat controlled electrical outlet. It does not have an automatic shut off and no high/low adjustment. The exterior of the unit gets no warmer that a standard space heater. Since it works so well from much further away, I can place it nowhere near anything flammable such as furniture or blankets, I think it's safer than most space heaters. I don't know why some suggest it's not for indoor use. Very pleased with the heavy duty tripod and heater function.

Buy it if you want your nerves to be heated! One star. Because zero stars is not an option, and this heater already taken enough from me. I bought this thing to heat a space. It mostly heated my patience until it evaporated. It “worked” for about five minutes, then it started acting like it was on a union break. Click. Nothing. Random life signs. Nothing again. We never got a real chance to enjoy it. Customer service turned the “simple fix” into a photo shoot. They wanted: • Photos of stickers • Photos of wires • Photos of the inside • Proof of purchase • More photos At one point, I felt like I was earning an electrical engineering degree with a minor in photography. By the time we finished sending everything, the only thing that was truly warm was my blood pressure. The heater stayed cold. So did the support path. Lots of back and forth, lots of waiting, and still no reliable heater. If you like your heat: • Consistent • Safe • Not dependent on you playing tech support at home Skip this. I got burned on this purchase, pun fully intended. Save your money, and save your sanity.

UPDATE #3 February 2025 - I modified the original Heat Storm, which the vendor did not want returned, by removing and physically bypassing the manual on/off switch. I am using a Wi-Fi Power Meross on/off Switch to control power to the Heat Storm. I have also mounted it inside of an outside Gazebo and added a thermal conductive oscillating fan to distribute the heat inside the enclosed 10'x13' gazebo. I have also experienced that the CRT (continuous run time) for the Heat Storm can be measured in weeks, not hours or days. So far it has maintained the temperature above freezing, inside the enclosed gazebo, by running continuously for over a month now. UPDATE #2 November 2024 - After the vendor replaced the switch four consecutive times (The wire contacts in the switch would literally melt after a day or two of continuous usage), The vendor finally replaced the entire heater with an updated model, which has a remote to turn on and off. The new design works perfectly. I have found that the CRT (continuous run time) of the Heat Storm is simply amazing. It runs constantly for days at a time without overheating either the cord, plug heater or the internal switch relay for the wireless on/off. So I am updating the rating to a Four Star. UPDATE#1: 2024 The on/off switch in this heater are utter garbage! The Power switch is unable to handle the power draw and MELTS !!! This is a fire hazard!!! I reached out to the manufacturer and they readily replaced the switch, which I had to swap out the defective switch. The replacement switch did not even last two weeks before failing. They have offered another replacement switch again, but I wanted a refund. I was told that I would have to go through Amazon but the return policy states that it must be returned in the original packaging!! That is long gone. So I am SOL. I was persistent and eventually the vendor resolved the problem. See update#2 Original: This is an amazing area heater. It turns on and boom WHAM you have heat! Using it in a 13'x10' room 6' up, pointing down and it is almost too much. A thermostat would be helpful. But ... Damn this is a nice heater.

It’s Awesome, it’s works very well in cold temperatures

The heater is great, but the switch stopped working almost immediately, unplugging and replugging to use is inconvenient, not to mention I turned it off thinking it was off, went in to shower and heard dogs barking incessantly at deck door, looked out and it was on again. I turned it off thinking I just maybe didn’t the first time, then went back in. Dogs started barking again and I seen it was on again. They replaced it with a second one, but the same thing happened. Now I don’t know what to do or if there is a replacement switch that would work. Seems it has been a problem for a few others and they should at least offer a new switch for free if it’s too late to return.

Updated Review. I was looking for a personal heater to use on my outdoor patio in the fall months here in Western NY. I contemplated a natural gas powered patio heater but liked the simplicity of an electric unit feeling that it would be adequate for my needs. So I purchased this electric heater. Upon opening the box I was quite surprised at how solid the tripod is - heavy aluminum and sturdy. The instructions weren't the best, but it was still easy to put together. The heat output is what you should expect from 1500 watts - the maximum for regular household current. It's not going to heat a large area, but it will warm those within the lamp's shadow. (We're talking 5100 BTUs as compared to a 48000 BTU natural gas patio heater.) I like the simplicity of this heater. There's a single switch rather than a remote control, and one setting: "on" which unleashes the full 1500 watts. I'm using it to sit under while I work outside. It's positioned to my left while I have a quartz tower heater on the table to my right. Sitting between them (they both run on the same outlet with no problem) gives me a warm bubble of Miami within the cold confines of Rochester. Update: the switch, like so many others have reported, failed after a year of use. I replaced it with a heavy duty toggle.

I've been using the Heat Storm Infrared Heater, and it's been a great addition to my Home GYM. The heater provides efficient and consistent warmth, perfect for those cold days. The 7 ft cord and adjustable tripod make it versatile and easy to position wherever I need it. The only drawback I've encountered is that it pulls so much power that it occasionally trips the main breaker in my house gym. Despite this, the performance and convenience of this heater make it a worthwhile purchase. Highly recommended for its effectiveness, just be mindful of the power usage!

Me gustó todo. Peeeero solo funcionó un mes…!! Sinceramente me gustó el aparato. Calienta bien, es práctico y ligero. Peeero solo funcionó un mes y lamentablemente veo reseñas con el mismo problema. Ya lo devolví; Me da miedo comprar nuevamente mismo equipo…

We use this heater on an outdoor, screened-in porch and it has helped us to extend our outdoor season. Gives off lots of heat making it very warm for those up close to it, with less intensity the further you move away from it. Sitting 10 feet away on a cool Fall day (10C-12C) was quite comfortable. Any cooler and you'll want to move closer to it. Put it together in a few minutes, adjusted the height and angle, and plugged it. Voila!

It definitely gives off great heat and was relatively easy to set up. I'm not allowed propane on my balcony so this was a good fix to help extend my outdoor time during covid. Whatever isn't in its radius doors still stay cold though so keep that in mind. I wish it had an auto off but the stand is sturdier m I expected and I follow all safety precautions and bought a little fire extinguisher just to be on the safe side.

Bought this item to supply some heat in the garage. Worked well, until is stopped working in 5 months. Even on sale, it is an expensive proposition for 5 months of use. I doubt a tradesman would be happy with this performance.

Just what I was looking for to heat out front porch. Easy to set up and sturdy enough - that was not afraid of a stiff wind. Great purchase and will keep us warm into early December I hope!
