it is so cold here in Northern Virginia that we ordered a space heater this is
the Honeywell digital ceramic tower heater
so we specifically wanted a heater or at least I wanted to look for a heater that
had two functions in particular and one is an automatic shutoff or tip over
feature and I was surprised to find out that a lot of heaters actually don't
offer that the other thing was a digital display because I want to be able to set
the temperature and not have to depend on a rotating dial where I'm guessing
okay what what is the first increment mean what does the second mean all right
so do you see anything interesting to point out in the user manual well I
notice that page 3 of the manual offers or at least tells you most of what you
need them to operate this machine for the constant heat setting the low
setting uses 90 watts of power and the highest setting uses 1500 watts of power
okay you mean 900 that lowly uses 900 yes yeah okay that's more like it so um
a lot of people are just gonna want to use the low setting if there are energy
conscious or budget conscious yes Oh before we turn it on it does have a
permanent dust filter in the back and maybe you show how to I think it's
pretty self-explanatory you just pull that I think you're actually supposed to
unplug it first and then you vacuum that screen grid grill whatever it is and I
think they recommend about once a month I guess I'm sure it depends on usage and
how many pets you have whether you have any pets that kind of thing okay yeah I
see it says right there on the box safety shutoff automatically shuts off
if tipped over in any direction that's definitely needed in this house
yes all right so let's put it down on the floor turn it on show the controls
all right to operate this device there are
six buttons you see on the control panel the first one is the power button the
second is the heat level settings remember there are two low and high this
is the oscillate button right here it's a nice feature the oscillating game you
have the current temperature display that will pop up right here and you can
change whether you want it higher or lower via these up and down buttons and
here is the timer where you can set it between one to four or eight hours it's
just strictly hours so we'll turn on
right now it's on the highest setting reason it starts on how it can turn the
oscillation on
oscillation is now 80 degrees each way a th way
and of course turn it off at any direction you want and I can turn down
and we should be able to adjust the temperature to make it like make it like
59 see what happens cuz it should is that the lowest it goes
60 is in fact the lowest see if it turns off because at a 60 degree setting it
should turn on work I think we're probably in this room now what we're
close to the door and it is well below freezing outside but I think we're at
least at 68 this confused me a little bit yesterday when I was using is why
when I set it at a low temperature it's still running
and I just determined that you have to have it on high and then she's sitting
because this was one of the features that I definitely wanted I want to be
able to leave this set it say I set it at 68 and come back and the temperatures
pretty close to 68 now I did see some reviews online it said that the
thermostat temperature readings off one or the other but it's consistently off
so you may always have to set it one two or three degrees higher or lower I just
can't figure out why it's running right now
okay I see that's cool air coming out hmm okay so reading from the manual here
it says to set the thermostat press the thermostat control buttons up or down to
choose your desired temperature the desire temperature will flash five times
and then the current temperature in a room will display a steady red okay so
let's try that set it to 60 and see see the flashes five times
/ three times but okay and then the temperature should change
to show the room temperature
as a study read and it's still saying 60
I don't know if it takes a while to adjust because it's definitely warmer in
here than 60
okay I set it to set it up higher and see then if the inside check changes
okay so flashes to indicate we want the temperature to be 66 and then it went
down to 62 hmm and it's showing that it's 66 and the Honeywell heater is
showing that it's 6 to 2 so our nope just 64 now so it seems to me a little
off
okay so 260 washing it's still running and
maybe it takes a couple minutes because even over here next to the window
I've got 66 degrees I said
so I don't have an explanation of that this product did get good reviews but
they were somewhat mixed so I didn't receive any free product or discount
coupon or anything at all for this device this is just something I
purchased after doing a little research online so here's the timer button you
can change it to 1 hour to hour for hour or 8 hours go from what it is now high
to low its resembled by two buttons be to lit up places being high and 1 being
low imma turn it up you can really hear the difference in the fan it's pretty
quiet I wouldn't cut the call that noisy I I did read online some people complain
of the bandwidth to noise yeah it's about thanks
now show what happens when you turn it off when you turn it off it does the
countdown which i think is pretty cool and there we go it shuts right off
alright I'm going to show you what it looks like when it's oscillating
and I can't say standing over here that he does feel good we have what is that
they call that it's going on Bom Bom Genesis isn't it going on all over the
East costume it's just been so cold and windy
and as far as the appearance I think it's one of the nicer looking at yours
don't you think so yes yeah black kind of blends in oh and
it has a handle in the back off for caring
moving it around the room or whatever and there's a cool I guess they call it
a cool touch yeah cool they have it has cool touch housing so that it's safer
for children and pets it doesn't look like um doesn't look like you could tip
over too easily okay what happens if you knock into it a little bit gently yeah
so the heat is effective on this I like the isolation like the safety
feature and I I like the digital thermostat I'm just a little unsure at
this point how how well that's working so I will make some notations in the
description section below this video if I figure out if I've been doing
something wrong or if you just consistently reads differently then what
what you would expect what do you think is going on
I think when you select a certain temperature that you want to come out of
the device yeah after it stops blinking that is the temperature the heat is
coming out at right the second you will see it increase later on until it
reaches this little desired temperature that I have changed it's the thermostat
of the device itself not the thermostat of your house so okay so you're saying
that and this is a little hard to interpret from the manual I mean it
doesn't go into any detail at all so Lillian thinks that that is the
temperature of the heat immediately surrounding the heater and not I guess
that makes sense because it couldn't read the temperature across the room or
even some distance from there yeah so maybe that's where the misinterpretation
and confusion comes in about this because the more I think about it the
more you couldn't back here for me standing it on the camera this is not
going to be able to read that temperature so but if you turn it down
right now say to turn it down to 60
what I am a little bit confused about is it's definitely warmer than 60 why
doesn't it shut off do you know what I mean do I think that is the lowest
possible setting you can put it on for it to be considered a heater it might be
cold but anything below that would then be a fan and so it's not showing what's
happening is I would expect it to shut off but instead it's just blowing out
cooler air so it just indicates that current
temperature or desired temperature so I didn't mention that this is designed for
medium or medium to large sized rooms there are three sizes in this series of
the you know the otherwise same heater smaller one an S and one larger
and I don't see an indication of what square footage it would heat but they're
gonna go with a medium size so that's our new Honeywell heater be sure to
