So you know how when you do YouTube videos
and companies see them and they-- --that's my wife--
they see something and they go, hey, we got something that maybe you want to go
ahead and check out, review or do a video on.
So I got this thing.
Any clues what this thing is What does it look like?
(Wife): A beehive? A beehive? You think this looks like a beehive?
Well, OK, it's hexagonal shape, it's white.
It's got a little bit of orange going on in there.
Second guess:
(Wife): Do I have to use it?
It has gotten cold now.
Summer is finally over and it is getting
in the low 50s at night, so it is time to bust out the different heaters.
All right, guys, it is a space heater by the company Jackery.
I mean, a space heater!
this is one of those heaters, you know, how when your feet get cold during
the winter and usually it's a black, ugly thing?
When it comes to (electric) heaters,
it's the wattage that matters.
This is my second small, tiny space heater.
The previous one that I had before was roughly around 30 dollars, I believe,
and it capped out at three hundred watts, which is to say, it is something that just
gives you a little bit of warmth right off the bat.
It's really nice. And you really have to get very close
in order to the heater, in order to get that feel, that warmth coming in.
This guy is a thousand watts.
I mean, it's tiny, it's stylish.
And right now it's still less than 30 dollars.
I don't know how they can do it and other people can't.
If you look at the next heater that is popular on Amazon right now
(and I also have a link down below) that one's $21-$22
and that one caps out at 500 watts.
So this has two basic settings on here.
You got a low and a high.
This is a complete touch sensor
and there's two LED lights that are hardly visible and bright light,
but perfectly fine in the dark that indicates which mode that you're on.
It also has a tip overprotection.
So you knock it over and it will shut itself off.
It doesn't make that annoying buzzer beep that some other heaters do.
And that's really great because for something this small,
if you get kind of cold feet while you're in your office because you don't have
control over the HVAC system, this is really great. (Feet can knock over heaters)
And at the low setting doesn't draw too
much of wattage to really mess up a lot of the electrical power outlets (and breakers).
Still, you should still check with IT (or facilities)
to see if it's OK to use one of these things or not.
And it also has auto shut off (4 hours).
I'm not exactly sure how that works. [Its a 4 hour timer].
Maybe if it gets way too hot,
it's a safety type of design that will go ahead and shut off the unit.
So this is a PTC ceramic heating
technology, which is different from one of my favorite heaters,
which was the parabola heater by Presto link to that video down below.
This one actually requires a fan to push
the air or suck the air in and then push it out to receive the heat.
So not only do you need the wattage,
you also need a working fan that can pull the air from the back and push it out
through the front to wherever it is that you want the heat the most.
So I'm going to have a couple of tests to show you how that works.
Three things going on over here.
I have my wireless thermometer showing.
Thirty four degrees right now
is humidity and I have the Seek Thermal (Imaging Camera) going on here.
And this is showing at appears to be
fifty six degrees right here, Seek 56 degrees Fahrenheit.
And then I also have the air
meter here to go ahead and check the airflow.
So here we go. Here's the test.
I have this plugged in,
there's a power switch here in the back.
Put that guy on
and started up.
OK, so airflow first setting.
We are at
2.6 MPH
It's going getting hot at 67 degrees now.
68
And you can see the thermals here. Check out the thermals.
Thermal showing it is 240, 260 degrees coming out at the setting.
Let me try the other setting here.
That's on high. On high.
On high,
We are getting closer to 313
degrees Fahrenheit.
And this is getting at ...
We're getting 3.5 MPH.
There's nothing like actually feeling
the fan yourself to figure out whether it works out for you.
So I do suggest that if this
design and the 1000 Watt heat coming out of here and if you're OK
with the fan noise, there's nothing like actually trying this out yourself.
So if you are interested in trying it out
right now, especially during the holidays, you can actually purchase this and use it
all throughout November, whatever is left in November or December
and through parts of January before you actually have to return it. (Amazon holiday return policy)
If you find out that this isn't going to work out well for you.
But I can tell you, this is easily the smallest,
and in terms of efficiency (potency) at 1000 watts, being able to produce that heat
that comes out, it comes out at 285 Fahrenheit when using the thermal sensor from here.
And if you are sitting within two feet
of this, since this is a personal space heater, even though it's a 1000 watts,
it's not really designed to heat up the whole room.
I suppose eventually it could.
This makes for the most stylish,
most powerful space heater in its price range in its class right now.
So the people behind this really know what they're doing.
And even though you've probably never heard of the name brand Ahsato before,
the truth is that it's actually designed and sold, or sold by the people at Jackery
who are very famous for their battery products.
There's no batteries, of course, in here at all.
That wouldn't make sense for heater of this type.
So I'm going to give this a recommend as long as you can handle this:
The sound of the fan. This is not a silent unit.
I know having this in front of me
in a quiet office environment, sounds like white noise.
If you're OK with white noise, you know if that's going to work well for you.
I'm not OK with it because I like it really quiet since I'm recording a lot
of things all the time, whether it's my videos, my podcasts,
or you're going to need some sort of noise cancellation thing if you're in meetings
a lot, because you can hear the fan.
Alright!
So I recommend it for its size, its efficiency and its design.
Don't recommend it if you need it
absolutely quiet. For that,
there's very few (quiet heaters) on the market, but in order for it to be really quiet,
it's a lot less powerful. This is a lot smaller.
That's it for this quick first look review of the Ahsado portable space heater.
I think my wife is going to enjoy this because she's constantly cold.
This is that's who this is going to.
