Benross 42450 3000W Industrial Fan Heater/Adjustable Thermostatic Control/Cool Air Setting/Tilting Design/Portable With Carry Handle / IPX4 Waterproof, Yellow

Although I give this five stars, it is really slightly less than that - but only slightly. My central heating packed in the first week in January. Of course it did. When else would the central heating pack in? I needed something to keep at least one room warm until it was fixed. I bought this because I figured I could use it afterwards for heating the shed for short periods. Anyway, the long and short of it is, I live on my own and this thing heats a 4mX4m room in five minutes. Keep it running for half an hour and the room is habitable for several hours and it costs way less to run than the full central heating for that kind of result. Yes, it's 3Kw and you can see the meter whizzing around, but you only need to use it for short, intermittent periods. As people have said, if you run it for longer periods, the plug DOES get hot. You shouldn't be running it for long periods, though. It is difficult to regulate the temperature in a 4x4 space, but easier in a smaller space. I would not trust it to be left on in a room unsupervised because of the heat it generates and the heat of the plug, but you shouldn't do that anyway. It IS loud, but it has a very strong and efficient fan to blow out the hot air so that is to be expected. It's not perfect, but it close to perfection for it's size, price and specifications. I still use it to heat a room if I don't want to put the central heating on, if I want to dry some clothes on a rack or just to take the edge off a room when I get in from work.

Very nice heater fan takes little bit to warm up at first . Try not to put on same extension lead as another as tends to main fuse and other plugs on that lead until you take out and put on own . Would think as due to too much power going through with all others but on own circuit is graet and gives out good heat . Quite silent for how much used would been bit better if was not as much money but is ok . easy to use .

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews for this? Yes it takes time to heat the element! It's 3KW. It's a fantastic heater, it's a shame that the fan does not have variable speed but for the money it's fantastic. I have a 14ft x 12ft conservatory, it takes about 15mins on full power to heat the room. It's winter, my conservatory is freezing. This Heater for the money is more than I could have hoped for 👍🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄

It looks the part!!! But thats like having a Ferrari kit car. MR2 running gear with a Ferrari body!! A heater is supposed to heat. All this does is blow tepid air around!

Really impressed with the quality and value and performance of this space heater. The only thing I’d remind you to do if you purchase it is to make sure you check the plastic bag that the heater unit comes in to make sure that none of the fixing screws for the front guards have come loose during transit.

I have a small, well-insulated workshop of approx.770 cu ft. It took 25 minutes to raise the temperature from 6 degrees C to 15 degrees C and then held it satisfactorily. OK but no more than that. It would struggle to be effective in my double garage. The operating instructions advise you to “avoid the use of an extension cord as this may lead to overheating.” It does not state this limitation in the online advert and as the existing cable is only 1.5 metres max. that becomes frustrating in a garage environment. The frame and motor housing are solidly made and the control panel is heavy duty plastic and will probably withstand a few knocks. It does not come fully assembled as claimed, although it only takes a few minutes to fix the adjustable stand to the body; the associated knobs and spring washers etc are substantial. The tilt function is really useful and the unit stays in position without worry. Given that the RRP was £94.99 (when I bought it with a 50% discount) it was disappointing not to have dual speed control for the fan. The dual thermostat control is useful but you don’t need full speed fan all the time. The motor is quiet, while the air movement from the fan is the predominate sound although not intrusive. In my opinion, the description as an “Industrial Fan Heater” can only really be applied to the build not the performance. What the operating instructions say but the advert does not is "This product is only suitable for well insulated spaces or occasional use." I think the advert is misleading in that respect. Good value for money but only at the discounted price.

It looks a good size, was easy to built. Very simple to use. Very strong. The biggest let down was the Heat Output. For 3000 watt it would not heat a small wooden garage. I went back to the 2000 watt heater l owned before this. Total waste of £50.

Good product but use heavy duty extension

Well made and as described.

I received my order by today 17/06/2022 but the item and it’s box is damaged.
