This is a space heater
okay coming in from Yemen all and pemon old hemiaminal this company we have a
portable space fan heater type thing houses coming into winter what would you
need more than a portable space fan heater to keep you toasty on those cold
nights and to see how exactly these work so we're gonna take it out and have a
wee play with it and see what exactly thirty pounds worth of space heating
will get you okay so you get an instruction manual that comes in a
variety of different Asian dialects it's 600 Watts and something is a hundred and
fifty centimetres well it's got abs which is an achievement plus PPS payment
protection service I don't know yeah all right well we'll plug it in and see
what happens Darren actually opened the instructions are discovered they're all
English aside from the ones on the back okay so yeah um we're okay we're in good
stead
okay so we have in word set packaging stuff and straight up
we noticed that it's well-guarded okay so it is plastic there's a handle on the
top here for movement we have a grill on the front and you can see some heat
elements in behind there it's branded nubra one noob or one yeah
okay we'll go without on the bottom we have
some actually kind of plastic e feet not so much rubber it's like a glossy
plastic or is there feels like there might be ah there is little bits of
protective adhesive the top or another piece of a protective plastic so ah
there are no very spongy thoughts that's an odd little thing to include and also
an oil thing for me to notice right um yeah so on this side we just have the
attachment for the handle run the back we have probably an error in tech then
on this side we have all of the action we have a farm we have a turn around a
yard yuppie thing and we have a an on/off setting for off or maybe arm in
the middle there and the other end of the spectrum okay so it's not much else
to do other than turn it on see if it works
so a standard three-pin plug
with a court that is roughly about 150 centimeters
oh we plug that in we're currently set to say this feels like a moves ah aha
that's what that button does right so we turn it on
sucking air in there and pushing hot air out the front we turn it up a level and
doesn't start to glue yet well let's press this you get it
rotating now it's receding away from the camera one cinematic of you you have no
screen presence
okay I can smell it there's a bit of a burning kind of smell come or not a
burning smell but I hate tea smell so there's a warning in the instructions
that this will become a hot surface eventually I can feel a little too cool
there as well
it is it's it's blowing like cool air we must have changed the setting somewhere
along the line so the button guide one handle oh I can feel heating I can smell
that heating smell to wiring it am probably got the paper of it close to
it's going to combust all of a sudden at wire netting caution hot surface three
is the base down here for is the speed
so for this this one
I can I can see the heat night
it feels like it's actually turning it up the speed of the file 5 is the root 8
button and 6 is power hot and cool so it doesn't picture that on the side so
anyone coming along is not going to know exactly what the instructions here are
instructing you to do so we have it on hot and it is it's hot yes well it is
right here in a cold room I imagine that would probably generate quite a bit of
heat well in it turn it off it's still heating still warm but then perhaps it's
yeah it's starting to get cooler so it's blowing the farm to cool the element
dine quicker than the fan just cooling down normally which is quite a nice idea
I suppose so the rotary switch and there is a prompt tone which will turn the
rotary switch when you turn this switch
so it all seems to be fairly simple as to what this does and how well it does
it inner temperature protection when inside temperature higher than 70
degrees the device will stop heating so it has an auto switch off at 70 but I
would love to know what the pard power draw is on this because I can't imagine
these things being particularly power efficient so having a quick read through
the instructions there are there's only two speed settings here for us to to
carry on with and then there's just hot and cold so we can have it put it up to
cold
it automatically turned off the rotation so we hit the rotation and we press the
speed button and that takes it down a notch so it's less warm so I'd like to
know exactly how it cools it other than just rotating through warm air say we
are in a fairly warm room right now it does feel somewhat cooler than the air
over here but then that's that's part and parcel of it because obviously the
way you farms work is that it pushes air and it cools it down as it goes through
through natural motion but there's no actual air conditioning in here to cool
things down altogether unless there's something special inside but it's not
getting particularly cold if I turn that up to the higher speed so yes after
letting that run for a couple of minutes it isn't changing the temperature of the
air very much it's maybe gone down a degree or so but you would normally
expect from a farm it's a neat idea um obviously and it'll
help circulate the Funday the air and the room a bit better and also it says
that it's natural air it's it mustn't be doing anything in particular to it
inside there it's just a farm pushing it through and then these three
elements can heat up whenever you need to heat the room so is this just a very
small root hitting electric fire from the 1960s and 70s it's got a little bit
of tack in that it'll switch off at certain stages obviously if it doesn't
your coos above 70 degrees as I've already mentioned it says it's got aunty
fire risk in it as well so you can leave it going it would be lovely if this had
some kind of thermostat on us so that you could keep it at maybe 20 degrees or
something and if it drops below 20 degrees this thing kicks in I'm caught
honking 20 degrees see here and oh yeah this thing kicks in and starts trying to
heat it up much like a blue heater and I think even the cheapest of blue heaters
can have that setting on them as well this doesn't have it which is a bit of a
pain however it does have the rotation feature which is kind of nice so you've
obviously got to be aware of the wire as well which is constantly moving I would
imagine that setting this on a desk you could accidentally put something on top
of that to stop the the muder going and that could actually impact the motor at
some stage and then of course the description does say that this is a
quiet space heater it's relatively quiet but it's not something that you're going
to have working in the room while you try to sleep I could imagine anyone
actually managing to gear in some sleep with this it's about as light as
a pretty beefy computer with us fun proofing Allah it is it's not vacuum
cleaner Lloyd it is just fairly Lloyd it sounds like
any other blow heater so it's nice enough gadget to have I suppose I'm in a
cold room you could certainly feel the benefits of it right now it's a fairly
warm room and I'm not feeling the benefits of the fan however I could feel
the heat coming out of it and it was getting mildly uncomfortable up here was
sitting right in front of it and for the speed of the heat coming through I beep
signified me switching it over to hot air and it's starting to get hot and it
maybe takes about 20 20 seconds for it to actually get up to full temperature
there that's getting quite rusty toasty right here and I can feel it on my face
it would be hitting about here yes it is quite warm in front of the camera you
can't feel it at home because of well the glass in your screen is preventing
the heat from getting out at you if you didn't have glass there you would feel
the the heat from this but we'll just turn it off now we'll let it cool down
and we're getting into winter so I'm gonna have a wee play with it to see
exactly how well it assists me if I actually go and use it if you don't have
good insulation it's probably something you're gonna want to have I would be
interested to see just how much it's going to add to the electricity bill if
you were to use it if it's the same as any other blue heater or if it does
anything differently they don't seem to advertise too much in the packaging of
high economical this is so I can only assume that it's going to be the same as
any other blue heater it's just it's a pretty swish design it's got a little
bit of rotation on it and it does cool the air as well as warm air and it's
small you can it's it's almost portable aside from the power cable so let me
know if you have any questions down below hit that subscribe button
give us a wee thumbs up if you fancy and other than that
take care
