Heat Storm HS-1500-TT Infrared, 7 ft Cord, Tripod + Heater, Black

Update: Sept 2024 Really sucks that I have to update this post but this is the reality. So I read a lot of reviews about the On and off switch not working and well mine just stopped working. I opened up the panel to see if I can fix it but I couldn’t. This lamp cost over $100 and it only lasted a couple months, that’s a waste. The company needs to do better. Sucks that it broke right before it starts to get cold. Disappointed in this purchase. Waste of money. Jan 2024 I bought this lamp as a space heater for inside my garage while I’m working out during the winter and it does the trick. I like to use it during cardio too to get that sauna feel. Read a lot of reviews about having issues with the power switch. I have not had this experience. Great purchase and produces a lot of heat.

Excellent heater been using it for a few weeks now heats up very well and had no issues with it

Buy it if you want your nerves to be heated! One star. Because zero stars is not an option, and this heater already taken enough from me. I bought this thing to heat a space. It mostly heated my patience until it evaporated. It “worked” for about five minutes, then it started acting like it was on a union break. Click. Nothing. Random life signs. Nothing again. We never got a real chance to enjoy it. Customer service turned the “simple fix” into a photo shoot. They wanted: • Photos of stickers • Photos of wires • Photos of the inside • Proof of purchase • More photos At one point, I felt like I was earning an electrical engineering degree with a minor in photography. By the time we finished sending everything, the only thing that was truly warm was my blood pressure. The heater stayed cold. So did the support path. Lots of back and forth, lots of waiting, and still no reliable heater. If you like your heat: • Consistent • Safe • Not dependent on you playing tech support at home Skip this. I got burned on this purchase, pun fully intended. Save your money, and save your sanity.

UPDATE #3 February 2025 - I modified the original Heat Storm, which the vendor did not want returned, by removing and physically bypassing the manual on/off switch. I am using a Wi-Fi Power Meross on/off Switch to control power to the Heat Storm. I have also mounted it inside of an outside Gazebo and added a thermal conductive oscillating fan to distribute the heat inside the enclosed 10'x13' gazebo. I have also experienced that the CRT (continuous run time) for the Heat Storm can be measured in weeks, not hours or days. So far it has maintained the temperature above freezing, inside the enclosed gazebo, by running continuously for over a month now. UPDATE #2 November 2024 - After the vendor replaced the switch four consecutive times (The wire contacts in the switch would literally melt after a day or two of continuous usage), The vendor finally replaced the entire heater with an updated model, which has a remote to turn on and off. The new design works perfectly. I have found that the CRT (continuous run time) of the Heat Storm is simply amazing. It runs constantly for days at a time without overheating either the cord, plug heater or the internal switch relay for the wireless on/off. So I am updating the rating to a Four Star. UPDATE#1: 2024 The on/off switch in this heater are utter garbage! The Power switch is unable to handle the power draw and MELTS !!! This is a fire hazard!!! I reached out to the manufacturer and they readily replaced the switch, which I had to swap out the defective switch. The replacement switch did not even last two weeks before failing. They have offered another replacement switch again, but I wanted a refund. I was told that I would have to go through Amazon but the return policy states that it must be returned in the original packaging!! That is long gone. So I am SOL. I was persistent and eventually the vendor resolved the problem. See update#2 Original: This is an amazing area heater. It turns on and boom WHAM you have heat! Using it in a 13'x10' room 6' up, pointing down and it is almost too much. A thermostat would be helpful. But ... Damn this is a nice heater.

I have plenty of 1500 watt space heaters and none of them put out this amount of heat. I travel a lot and got tired of coming home to a freezing house that takes my central heating unit all day to get up to temperature. In the past I would put a space heater in each of the rooms to heat the house faster. Some of the 1500 watt space heaters I had the fans were getting loud and noisy, so I purchased this unit to replace them. I don't know how this unit manages to radiate heat so well but it really puts the heat out. The heat disburses in a nice even pattern and there are no "hot spots" to worry about. Instead of rotating a space heater to keep my feet warm for a few minutes and then changing to keep myself or the rest of the room warm, this unit heats up the whole room fast and evenly. I use to set the other heaters fairly close but this unit is 8 - 10 feet away and feels very warm all around. I plug the unit into a thermostat controlled electrical outlet. It does not have an automatic shut off and no high/low adjustment. The exterior of the unit gets no warmer that a standard space heater. Since it works so well from much further away, I can place it nowhere near anything flammable such as furniture or blankets, I think it's safer than most space heaters. I don't know why some suggest it's not for indoor use. Very pleased with the heavy duty tripod and heater function.

This was a life saver. Very high quality, was super easy to install . Also very low noise when on . There is no remote which is annoying but the switch is easy to reach . Also when I finished it’s made to be closed up so the small size takes up little space in my shed

We purchased this heater at the beginning of October. It worked wonderfully for a while and provided great warmth. There's no adjustments; it's either on or off. However, in early December it stopped working. Warranty support requested a photo of the switch box, which I have included here, clearly showing how the wiring is compromised. It seems like it could easily have caught on fire. Given the number of reviewers saying their switch failed, this seems to be a failure point that needs to be immediately rectified by the manufacturer. In its current state, no one should buy this product. It is unsafe. UPDATE: we reached out to the manufacturer, who replaced the heater without us even needing to mail back the broken one. The wiring inside the switch box is of a visibly larger gauge, and other safety features have been added, such as a more secure tripod and auto-shutoff. The new heater is model hs-1500-tt-r. I would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer if you have a different model number. I will update again after using the heater for a while.

Third one great heat output
