Optimus H-5210 Heater

This is for warming only and works great for that. At 800 watts it isn't suitable for heating a cold room.

There is no fan and no noise or vibration even when warming up or cooling off.

Heat is constant mild red orange well focused warmth. One heater would not usually be enough for primary heat. I use it to warm a corner in my living room on 400 watts.

No pulsed EMFs as there is no thermostat. EMFs measured by Tri Field meter drop under 3 milligaus at 3 feet. That is acceptable to most people.

An ordinary extension cord could be OK if not covered or heat insulated (the cord can get warm and plastic electrical insulation melt). Two heaters would be too much for a 16 gauge cord.

Only mod needed is to mark the triangle pointer on the front. I used a Sharpie under the stove hood with the fan on high.

After a few years typically the 400 rod will burn out then the 800 becomes 400 and still works by itself without modification.

Initial offgassing was easy. Remove transparent warning tapes, it is low odor tape and peels off clean. Place on stove top under hood and run fan on high for a half hour then low with heater on 800 watts. Radiant heat will go mostly into kitchen. Four hours on 800 watts burn off most of the odor, which mostly smelled like petroleum used on sheet metal. You may need to run it longer depending on your sensitivity. Do this when outside air is best as it will suck air inside.
It doesn't smell after 12 hours of use unless I don't use it on 800 for awhile and then there is some burnt dust odor from what landed on the unused rod.

I've used mine for about a month.

I ordered two more because I'm afraid they will stop making them. It's very hard to find things that work for me - then they stop making them.

The things I like about this Optimus H-5210 Infra-Red Electric Compact Heater are its compact size and its light weight but the base doesn't have a good design (it will be easily to fall down) for placing it on an unlevel surface other than a flat ground or floor.

I love this heater for the health benefits it provides, such as not drying the air and the healing ability of infra-Red heat. It is easy to move from one room to another as it rolls so easily.

I am using it day and night. I move it into my bedroom at night then back to the Living room in the day time. I am not afraid to leave it on when I leave home, as it cannot start fires. This heater heats the entire room at an even temperature. It saves on the heat bill, since I am not running my furnace near as much now.

I would recommend these heaters to everyone.

We use this heater in a room that is hard to heat, it is great, you can use 400 wts. or 800 watts, so you have 2 controls. It has no sound, and heats really good, usually we only have it on the lower control and it sometimes gets a little too warm which is nice, we can turn it off for a while. Also has a tip over control, so if it gets bumped over it automatically turns off. I would highly recommend this heater to anyone. And it dosen't have any strange smells even from the time we first used it. 5 stars for this great little heater.

I love how small and powerful the heat is that's coming from the heater. Definelty a lot stronger them my old electric space heater. This is my first Infrared heater. I found out I'm allergic to the plastic casings and the paint (even it case is metal) of heaters. The Infrared could help my Arthritis as well. This seem perfect to try. It's been a few weeks and I love it! I'm not DEATHLY SICK or FREEZING at all. When they say 60% more heat they mean just that, 60% more heat! My Arthritis doesn't seem as bad. I will buy another. Illinois is no joke in Winter.
