They have some use cases, but it is a heater that costs less then $20, and takes advantage of the elderly and some less knowledgeable individuals. Still better then the power conditioner device to "Clean your power and save you money" devices though...
Yea. I remember that ad.. Didn't they expel him from his course because he made a product that would save people millions of dollars, every day, or something?
No! It was actually developed by an employee of an energy company who was angry that customers were being ripped off by high heating bills and went into business by himself, and developed this after multiple prototypes.
A similar ad on U-Tube about an electric razor-- supposedly designed by Gillette and some university. The typical pressure sales crap -- "click now for a 50% discount". You can buy it for less than a third of the price elsewhere. It's about time U-Tube pulled finger and got rid of this crap -- but it's all about advertising revenue innit. They don't really give a fk as long as they're making money .
I just wanted to let everyone know that I actually purchased a very expensive digital space heater. It had a temperature setting which I really liked because I have a young autistic child in my house. In 2021, I fell in my kitchen and hit my head on the tile floor -which knocked me out and I ended up laying next to the heater. When I woke up, I thought my right arm was "asleep " but it was actually burnt to the bone. I had smoke inhalation from my body being burning, my kidneys were shutting down and I spent over a week in the burn unit where I had to have my arm amputated. I had over 12 amputations because the tissue kept spreading. My right knee was also 3rd degree burnt. Im fine now, but I really want to just warn everyone about how dangerous even the best ones are. Even though I set it to 70 degrees, the entire room heats up until it reaches the full 70 degrees, not the heater itself. Every heater can be tested even using a thermometer to see how hot it is. Please don't let anyone else get hurt.
3:54 All you do is turn it on and...'viola.' As in the instrument. That's not how you spell the French word 'voila.' Clearly this ad was made w/ great care for an incredible product!
It was clearly made with great care, viola is italian for purple, not french. I guess that's because after you turn it on it's still so cold that your lips become viola

"desk heater" is a good comparison I got a few at the advice of an acquaintance. They cannot heat a room in a climate that genuinely gets cold unless your house is super-insulated, but they take the edge off in their corner, and they help the space heaters I'm using for main heat. I really like them, but I know that they have real limitations. I got mine from Amazon. Weird that someone would want to link Elon's name with it.
TBF if it actually came from Elon it would be 5 years late and would have a software enabled full self heating heater which would maybe function in 2038.
Not true - the software license upgrade required to actually heat a room rather than melt an icecube over 24 hours will be offered at the low low price of $179.99 a month, sign up for 5 years minimum mandatory.
It's already happened. I get scam emails about both heaters and air conditioners from "Elon Musk" all the time. I have for at least a couple years now.
I bought 2 of these from Walmart on clearance for $5.00 a few years ago. Mine really works good for a small room that you close a door on. Thanks for the great video. May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
@@orangesnowflake3769I stopped using them because a space heater almost caught my outlet on fire, if you’re using a space heater it has to be in it’s on dedicated circuit and on a 20 amp outlet and even then I don’t trust them
"He must be a big deal because I reverse searched his picture and he's on a million different websites!" 😂😂😂 Hope that somehow someway Elon Musk sees this! Also "Voila!" is misspelled in the article. 😂😂😂
I like that you are back sitting on your couch. I thought it was unique compared to other you tubers and it makes it feel like a friend is talking to us. Like we are hanging out in your living room just having a chat.
Another good use case for these little heaters is in your auto truck or rv. They only consume 320 Watts at maximum so a 400 watt constant power inverter will allow you to run it in your vehicle to keep warm without having to run the gasoline or diesel engine... 😊
We have a central ducted heat pump in a 160 yr old house - we have one of these tiny heaters that take the edge off our bedroom which doesn't quite get warm enough on colder nights. It couldn't heat anythkng by itself, but it's nice to have a low wattage heater for this purpose.
This reminds me of Christmas 2023... my mother in law saw facebook ads for what appeared to be a very fun toy for about $30... She thought the grandkids would all love one. I was asked about said toy, and found that it could be purchased on Aliexpress for 5$. I made the purchase for them, and it was a fun toy.
physics nerd here. temperature/money=insulation/area, a heater itself is 100% efficient. there is a way to get a little more that 100% but it takes way longer to install, costs as much as a fridge, and loses efficiency when it's cold outside.
though the cold outside part can be overcome, either via better coolents that they're coming up with that have better tolorances, or by burying them, though they're ussially only used for cooling, not heating, which is really too bad.
A heat pump (air-air) is usually 400% efficient at 7C outside temperature. Stops working below -10C or so. A 2.5kW output unit costs about $500 without installation.
@@Molon_Labe1776No, because there is no waste or losses in converting electricity to heat (the fan and control panel are technically using a bit of electricity, but it's negligible). Watts to BTU is a direct conversion.
I swear I get emails about this Elon heater thing every other day! Thankfully most of them go to spam, but it's funny how relatable this is to see you make a video on it.
When you started looking on Amazon for a Dreo space heater i was like, that's the one I have in my 5x8 bathroom! Oh crap, maybe I should have bought the Alpha instead. Then I was happy to see the Dreo heating your room up way faster than the Alpha. I run mine every morning about 5 min before I jump in the shower and it works great. Phew!
We live in a 5th wheel and I bought one of these, never seeing the Elon angle just saw one at the bait shop in the corner and the lady said it was great for extremely small spaces. So I bought one at home hardware for my wife for her corner of the slide and it works for her side and just her lol. It was on sale for $35 but with no remote.
Any electrical device that consumes 200W will generate the same amount of heat as a 200W space heater. That's why you get more bangs for the bucks by using TV, video games, computers to heat up your room.
Eh... not really 100%. They waste energy on light (other than infrared -aka "heat"- ) and vibrations (sometimes audible but mostly not) Dont get me wrong, still highly efficient but not the mythical 100%. All electrical appliances generate heat as waste... funny how a machine designed to be as inneficient as possible still "wastes" energy
The reason it works for NASA because the shuttles are very small so it's fast and easy to heat the small rooms with this device. Not everything from NASA is good for real life situations
Technology Connections did a great video about heaters a while ago. Basically, unless they are heat pumps they all produce an amount of heat that is directly proportional to the energy that is put in. Adding a fan helps to distribute the heat a bit, and you will need some things to make them safer to operate, but they're all roughly as efficient as each other. Heat pumps transfer heat from somewhere else, so they can produce more heat than the energy you put in.
The best tip I can give consumers to save on heating bills whether it's Electric or Gas is.. PUT THAT WINDOW PLASTIC ON ALL OF YOUR WINDOWS EVEN IF YOUR WINDOWS ARE LABELED ENERGY STAR. IT WILL HELP YOU WITH DRAFTS AND EVEN MORE EFFICIENT INSULATION.. 🤔

I saw an advert for this on UA-cam while I was over at my friends house. It was like a 4 minute long ad, and it was the cheapest looking ad you've ever seen, but me and my mate ended up watching the whole ad because we found it so hilariously brazenly misleading! Straight out the bat they threw up the Tesla logo to try and trick you into thinking that Elon and Tesla had something to do with it, when clearly they didn't. Everything about the product just screams 'FIRE HAZARD!' to me. Imagine plugging a heater directly into your plug socket? How is the wall behind it not getting scorched black? How is you plug socket not getting melted over time? Heat doesn't get blasted in a cone in front of the heater, it surrounds the area it emits from. There's no way your plug sockets are coming away unscathed from prolonged usage of this thing! Then there's the fact that it's an American plug design. I knew just from looking at it that it would be too heavy and unstable to be supported by only two prongs, and would be prone to falling out at the slightest knock, and this video proved me right. If it was a 3-pin UK plug, it would stay in, but I still wouldn't want to hang a bloody heater directly off the plug socket! That thing is just begging to burn someones house down!
Hey Ben! Use that heater in a small bathroom! I have one and turn it on when I get in the shower so I'm not cold post-shower. Works for that. It'd be worthless in a room larger than a small bathroom though.
Just a bunch of dropshippers dropshipping and selling a cheap aliexpress china heater for even more than it costs. 😅. Then claiming its totally made by some mastermind and not tired workers in a chinese sweatshop. I actually got an ad for it but it had an Ai voice and totally no effort put into the ad. This story atleast has 1% effort put into it to make it believable lmao
You series a 555timer through diodes and 9v, because this is a free air 9v charger. Set it for self destructive 555timer, no stupid components. Just 900khz of goodness. -> 7 series 50uF -> 200mhz PNP -> 8 phase multiplier 100uF -> 1M ohm antenna resistor ground. At 50hz, short the mega ohm to the heater, might melt or explode at 550volts, but its much warmer. If you hook it to 110v, you get 550v, 9v produces 2-> 3 killovolts, but don't diodes the multiplier for gods sake.
Ground thermal exchange is the closest anyone will get to nearish $0 bills, but unfortunately these systems tend to be quite expensive to install. Well that, or if you have a large property with plenty of trees, and you're willing to do a lot of work, or if you can find free or very cheap sources of wood off property. If you have plenty of sun on your property, Solar Air heaters are a great idea. Pretty cheap and easy to install if you do it yourself. Essentially a large surface area, insulated box with an intake and exhaust vents, with a small fan that vent Solar warmed heat into your house. Unfortunately, we don't have enough consistent sun on our property to go this route.
You can tell it was a scam from the start. It would be named "HeaterX" and not "Alpha Heater". Also, would you even trust a heater that was actually made by Elon Musk?

I purchased one of these over a year ago. It was a piece of junk! It ran for a while, but after I turned it off, it would not turn back on. Plus the heat it produced was so minimal, that it couldn't be felt if you were more than a foot away from it! I tried to get a hold of the company that I purchased it from but got nowhere. I had to stop trying to contact the company after a couple of months. I had to have heart surgery and my priorities changed. Trying to get my money back wasn't as important as my recovery.
Yes! I’d like it please. I use little heaters because my furnace broke 8 years ago. It is 15f today. I heat only the room where I am, the rest of the house stays cold. I save a ton of energy even though the little heater is not the most efficient. I like quartz heaters or baseboard heaters because they don’t use a fan which is just extra energy use.
Yes, there are. I watch the Catfished channel and it’s incredible the logic of the people who get scammed. This channel tries to help victims of romance scams, and the victims are often just ridiculously stupid. Most of the people they feature are 50+ but they weren’t scammed because of their age. They were scammed because they failed to use logic and they still believe in fairytales like a child. A lot of them are immature and gullible, despite their age. Old men believing women in their 20s want their old decrepit bodies and women who look like hags think some young buff muscular man wants them
Hey my father is not stupid just old and not tech savvy! Lol. Poor guy got boned on this but I fixed it by getting him his money back and I kept the heater and it's in the bathroom not keeping it warm enough after a shower. Lol
That's one of the most believable scams. After all Elon was a founder of Paypal and soent millions of the hyperloop. Not to mention him talking about colonizing Mars is the very near future and exagerating everything about Tesla.
Best space heater on the planet was the Eden Pure idk if they still make it. But that thing would heat my entire basement during Wisconsin winters. So much so that we would have to turn it off completely.
my mom used to have one of those and it would heat basically the entire house, those things kick ass. i think it may be the only infomercial product worth buying.
now these little heaters are not a scam they are considered personal heaters, their best use case scenario is say you're at work in an office and your desk area is kind of cold, you plug this little heater on to blow on your legs and feet and you're good to go. I have a small heater like this that is 300 watts from a different brand that I use at my gaming station to keep warm while I play in the winter. Only difference being I bought mine for $10 from Walmart 3 years ago LOL
My grandad was duped into buying some of these last winter, and he gave them out to friends and family. I'd read some are dangerous etc but wanted to test it out. While nothing bad happened, nothing good happened either. The heat it spat out was a disappointment (Especially as I was only 2ft away) but the fan was so noisy I couldn't put up with it for long !!
Africans are usually too poor to dropship, which is your first clue (and part of the reason that 'yahoo boys' commonly pose as Publisher's Clearing House). Most of these sleazy merchants tend to make six-letter ALLCAPS names to easily trademark (it's something about Amazon's "safety" program) for the purpose of dropshipping junk. As for the heating issue, wood stoves are cheaper ways to heat homes.
Lol I just managed to come across this video. My mom lives in an elderly community building so companies will leave free samples for the residents to try out. My mom had 5 of these and gave me 2. This winter I brought one to my office which is not big at all. Absolutely junk it will throw out heat but barely warms up the very small room. I’m using it now as I type this and still have on 3 layers and a winter cap 😂
I bought a similar one a few years ago and found the best way for max heat is to toss the boxed unit into a roaring fireplace. My living room reached 72 F within one minute. Note that the room was already at 71 F when I started.
I picked one up for 5 pound sterling at my local flea market months ago, i already knew the technology PTC element, these are efficient but they're no breakthrough in technology, I picked it up to use in my small shed to prevent freezing temps in winter.
I bought the Dreo heater last winter an let me say it a beast of a heater. I use it out in my shed. it sits on a concrete floor thats dusty . Ive cleaned once since owning it. Buy one if you need a great little heater
6:10 with this guy's previous logic of associating discrepancies with scams, I can conclude that Pleasant Green is a scam and should be avoided at all costs.
Good point regarding the common word of advice: if it's too good to be true, it probably is. That's why just about every UA-cam sponsor I hear about that offers some exceptional service for free or a fee, I ignore it! Especially after my interactions with better help, it's been going great so far.
I don't know why youtube allows those adds. They are obviously making false claims and everyone with a highschool education in physics can understand that (provided they paid attention).
No real humans approve any ads on UA-cam, or other social sites. At best MAYBE if enough people complain about an existing ad, then someone will look at it, but then allow it as long as it doesn’t show babies being eaten.
For those that aren't aware, thermodynamics says, It does not matter whether you buy the cheapest electric heater on the market, or the most expensive, or just use a bunch of lightbulbs, every watt consumed by any electrical device will produce 3.412 BTU/hr. When electricity is consumed, that energy can either be converted into work or heat, and even if it's used to do work, due to entropy and the conservation of energy, even all of that energy also becomes heat. All electric heaters are 100% efficient at converting electricity into heat because all the electrical energy they consume is transformed into thermal energy. This is a fundamental property of electricity: when current flows through a resistive element (like a heating coil), the energy is entirely dissipated as heat. The key difference between electric heaters lies in how they distribute that heat within a space: Convection heaters (e.g., oil-filled radiators, fan heaters) heat the air, which then circulates around the room. These are effective for evenly warming the entire room over time. Radiant heaters (e.g., infrared heaters) heat objects and people directly by emitting infrared radiation. These are ideal for providing targeted warmth, especially in open spaces or poorly insulated rooms. Combination heaters use both convection and radiation to heat both the air and objects in the room. The point is, the efficiency of converting electricity to heat is always the same, so one electric heater can never be more efficient than another. However, you can use smart strategies to change how the heat feels because the comfort and effectiveness depend on how that heat is distributed to meet the specific needs of the space and occupants. or you can get a heat pump....

They have some use cases, but it is a heater that costs less then $20, and takes advantage of the elderly and some less knowledgeable individuals. Still better then the power conditioner device to "Clean your power and save you money" devices though...
I was introduced to this product when an advert told me a college dropout invented it after arguing with his professors that it couldn’t be done
Yea. I remember that ad.. Didn't they expel him from his course because he made a product that would save people millions of dollars, every day, or something?
No! It was actually developed by an employee of an energy company who was angry that customers were being ripped off by high heating bills and went into business by himself, and developed this after multiple prototypes.
Was the "pow pow chica chica" song playing in the background the whole time? 😂

That title nearly made me spit my tea out with laughing as I've seen so many of these 'Elon Musk' scams, but as I am British, no tea got wasted!
No tea was wasted, as you were not drinking tea.
The scam ads on UA-cam are getting ridiculous- I thought regular ads and UA-camr sponsors were annoying and bad but they're a whole other thing 😂😅
A similar ad on U-Tube about an electric razor-- supposedly designed by Gillette and some university. The typical pressure sales crap -- "click now for a 50% discount". You can buy it for less than a third of the price elsewhere. It's about time U-Tube pulled finger and got rid of this crap -- but it's all about advertising revenue innit. They don't really give a fk as long as they're making money .
I just wanted to let everyone know that I actually purchased a very expensive digital space heater. It had a temperature setting which I really liked because I have a young autistic child in my house. In 2021, I fell in my kitchen and hit my head on the tile floor -which knocked me out and I ended up laying next to the heater. When I woke up, I thought my right arm was "asleep " but it was actually burnt to the bone. I had smoke inhalation from my body being burning, my kidneys were shutting down and I spent over a week in the burn unit where I had to have my arm amputated. I had over 12 amputations because the tissue kept spreading. My right knee was also 3rd degree burnt.
Im fine now, but I really want to just warn everyone about how dangerous even the best ones are. Even though I set it to 70 degrees, the entire room heats up until it reaches the full 70 degrees, not the heater itself. Every heater can be tested even using a thermometer to see how hot it is. Please don't let anyone else get hurt.
3:54 All you do is turn it on and...'viola.' As in the instrument. That's not how you spell the French word 'voila.' Clearly this ad was made w/ great care for an incredible product!
😂😂😂
It was clearly made with great care, viola is italian for purple, not french. I guess that's because after you turn it on it's still so cold that your lips become viola
Viola. So the heater also turns into a stringed instrument, apparently. 😁
They spelled it viola because the whole thing is just a big fiddle.
@@tb6303 That would be worth the money if it did.Unless it didn't have all the strings.

I got a few at the advice of an acquaintance. They cannot heat a room in a climate that genuinely gets cold unless your house is super-insulated, but they take the edge off in their corner, and they help the space heaters I'm using for main heat. I really like them, but I know that they have real limitations.

TBF if it actually came from Elon it would be 5 years late and would have a software enabled full self heating heater which would maybe function in 2038.
And 30 recalls. It'd still be just as cheaply built, though.

Not true - the software license upgrade required to actually heat a room rather than melt an icecube over 24 hours will be offered at the low low price of $179.99 a month, sign up for 5 years minimum mandatory.
Only if you put a $50,000 deposit down.
Also it would be called something like "Heater X" 😆

Another good use case for these little heaters is in your auto truck or rv. They only consume 320 Watts at maximum so a 400 watt constant power inverter will allow you to run it in your vehicle to keep warm without having to run the gasoline or diesel engine... 😊

Ironically I had an ad for this very same gizmo during your video!
Lmao that's too funny. Google is so complicit with scams in general. They don't care what they are promoting as long as they get paid.
We have a central ducted heat pump in a 160 yr old house - we have one of these tiny heaters that take the edge off our bedroom which doesn't quite get warm enough on colder nights. It couldn't heat anythkng by itself, but it's nice to have a low wattage heater for this purpose.
This reminds me of Christmas 2023... my mother in law saw facebook ads for what appeared to be a very fun toy for about $30... She thought the grandkids would all love one. I was asked about said toy, and found that it could be purchased on Aliexpress for 5$. I made the purchase for them, and it was a fun toy.
physics nerd here. temperature/money=insulation/area, a heater itself is 100% efficient. there is a way to get a little more that 100% but it takes way longer to install, costs as much as a fridge, and loses efficiency when it's cold outside.
though the cold outside part can be overcome, either via better coolents that they're coming up with that have better tolorances, or by burying them, though they're ussially only used for cooling, not heating, which is really too bad.
heat pump go brrrr
Wouldn't a heater that is more than one hundred percent efficient violate the laws of thermodynamics?
A heat pump (air-air) is usually 400% efficient at 7C outside temperature. Stops working below -10C or so. A 2.5kW output unit costs about $500 without installation.
@@Molon_Labe1776No, because there is no waste or losses in converting electricity to heat (the fan and control panel are technically using a bit of electricity, but it's negligible). Watts to BTU is a direct conversion.
The AI video of Elon Musk is just creepy. The way the head keeps repeating the same position over and over.
I do not like AI it's such a scam.
I hate AI as well. But let face it, elon musk dosent need AI to make him creepy😖
@tikki3509 A very good point. 😆
I swear I get emails about this Elon heater thing every other day! Thankfully most of them go to spam, but it's funny how relatable this is to see you make a video on it.
When you started looking on Amazon for a Dreo space heater i was like, that's the one I have in my 5x8 bathroom! Oh crap, maybe I should have bought the Alpha instead. Then I was happy to see the Dreo heating your room up way faster than the Alpha. I run mine every morning about 5 min before I jump in the shower and it works great. Phew!
We live in a 5th wheel and I bought one of these, never seeing the Elon angle just saw one at the bait shop in the corner and the lady said it was great for extremely small spaces. So I bought one at home hardware for my wife for her corner of the slide and it works for her side and just her lol. It was on sale for $35 but with no remote.
The thing about these "super efficient" heaters that really bugs me is that *every* resistive heater is 100% efficient.
Any electrical device that consumes 200W will generate the same amount of heat as a 200W space heater. That's why you get more bangs for the bucks by using TV, video games, computers to heat up your room.
Eh... not really 100%.
They waste energy on light (other than infrared -aka "heat"- ) and vibrations (sometimes audible but mostly not)
Dont get me wrong, still highly efficient but not the mythical 100%.
All electrical appliances generate heat as waste... funny how a machine designed to be as inneficient as possible still "wastes" energy
They’ll see this comment and next time the ads will say it’s 200%!
This is also why centralized heating is better. 300% efficiency.
These people should have paid attention in high school science classes.

Technology Connections did a great video about heaters a while ago. Basically, unless they are heat pumps they all produce an amount of heat that is directly proportional to the energy that is put in. Adding a fan helps to distribute the heat a bit, and you will need some things to make them safer to operate, but they're all roughly as efficient as each other. Heat pumps transfer heat from somewhere else, so they can produce more heat than the energy you put in.
This needs a Computer Clan colab.

I saw an advert for this on UA-cam while I was over at my friends house. It was like a 4 minute long ad, and it was the cheapest looking ad you've ever seen, but me and my mate ended up watching the whole ad because we found it so hilariously brazenly misleading!
Straight out the bat they threw up the Tesla logo to try and trick you into thinking that Elon and Tesla had something to do with it, when clearly they didn't.
Everything about the product just screams 'FIRE HAZARD!' to me. Imagine plugging a heater directly into your plug socket? How is the wall behind it not getting scorched black? How is you plug socket not getting melted over time? Heat doesn't get blasted in a cone in front of the heater, it surrounds the area it emits from. There's no way your plug sockets are coming away unscathed from prolonged usage of this thing!
Then there's the fact that it's an American plug design. I knew just from looking at it that it would be too heavy and unstable to be supported by only two prongs, and would be prone to falling out at the slightest knock, and this video proved me right. If it was a 3-pin UK plug, it would stay in, but I still wouldn't want to hang a bloody heater directly off the plug socket!
That thing is just begging to burn someones house down!
Hey Ben! Use that heater in a small bathroom! I have one and turn it on when I get in the shower so I'm not cold post-shower. Works for that. It'd be worthless in a room larger than a small bathroom though.
Oh, I paid $20 for it on Amazon in 2020. 😳
The pop-up ad for me toward the end of the video was for this heater under a different name. Too funny!

As far as youtube is concern, as long as they pay for the ads, they are honest businesses.
You series a 555timer through diodes and 9v, because this is a free air 9v charger. Set it for self destructive 555timer, no stupid components. Just 900khz of goodness. -> 7 series 50uF -> 200mhz PNP -> 8 phase multiplier 100uF -> 1M ohm antenna resistor ground. At 50hz, short the mega ohm to the heater, might melt or explode at 550volts, but its much warmer. If you hook it to 110v, you get 550v, 9v produces 2-> 3 killovolts, but don't diodes the multiplier for gods sake.
Ground thermal exchange is the closest anyone will get to nearish $0 bills, but unfortunately these systems tend to be quite expensive to install.
Well that, or if you have a large property with plenty of trees, and you're willing to do a lot of work, or if you can find free or very cheap sources of wood off property.
If you have plenty of sun on your property, Solar Air heaters are a great idea. Pretty cheap and easy to install if you do it yourself. Essentially a large surface area, insulated box with an intake and exhaust vents, with a small fan that vent Solar warmed heat into your house. Unfortunately, we don't have enough consistent sun on our property to go this route.
You can tell it was a scam from the start. It would be named "HeaterX" and not "Alpha Heater". Also, would you even trust a heater that was actually made by Elon Musk?

I purchased one of these over a year ago. It was a piece of junk! It ran for a while, but after I turned it off, it would not turn back on. Plus the heat it produced was so minimal, that it couldn't be felt if you were more than a foot away from it! I tried to get a hold of the company that I purchased it from but got nowhere. I had to stop trying to contact the company after a couple of months. I had to have heart surgery and my priorities changed. Trying to get my money back wasn't as important as my recovery.

I use little heaters because my furnace broke 8 years ago. It is 15f today.
I heat only the room where I am, the rest of the house stays cold. I save a ton of energy even though the little heater is not the most efficient. I like quartz heaters or baseboard heaters because they don’t use a fan which is just extra energy use.

For those that aren't aware, thermodynamics says, It does not matter whether you buy the cheapest electric heater on the market, or the most expensive, or just use a bunch of lightbulbs, every watt consumed by any electrical device will produce 3.412 BTU/hr.
When electricity is consumed, that energy can either be converted into work or heat, and even if it's used to do work, due to entropy and the conservation of energy, even all of that energy also becomes heat. All electric heaters are 100% efficient at converting electricity into heat because all the electrical energy they consume is transformed into thermal energy. This is a fundamental property of electricity: when current flows through a resistive element (like a heating coil), the energy is entirely dissipated as heat.
The key difference between electric heaters lies in how they distribute that heat within a space:
Convection heaters (e.g., oil-filled radiators, fan heaters) heat the air, which then circulates around the room. These are effective for evenly warming the entire room over time.
Radiant heaters (e.g., infrared heaters) heat objects and people directly by emitting infrared radiation. These are ideal for providing targeted warmth, especially in open spaces or poorly insulated rooms.
Combination heaters use both convection and radiation to heat both the air and objects in the room.
The point is, the efficiency of converting electricity to heat is always the same, so one electric heater can never be more efficient than another. However, you can use smart strategies to change how the heat feels because the comfort and effectiveness depend on how that heat is distributed to meet the specific needs of the space and occupants.
or you can get a heat pump....
