I was glad to find this site and to find I'm not the only one who had problems with these type of heaters. I purchased an Edenpure heater 2 years ago. The first winter I used it I thought it was wonderful however the following winter I used it and it did not heat like it did the year before. I was only using it to heat one room (my kitchen). It was still under the 1 year warranty so I took it back and told them of my problem. They told me you have to keep the filter clean and there was nothing wrong with the heater. Well, I do keep the filter clean and it just doesn't heat my kitchen anymore. I will never purchase a heater of this cost again. I sure did not get my money's worth out of this.

This is hilarious, it blows my mind that the government has morons like Mr. Price working for them, that is why our country is in such a state of despair we are against each other.

Glad to heat it Poquer. If you are not using a humidifier and your area is drier, consider using one it made a large difference for me. Better for your health too!

Wells Electronics is in Vietnam. How will I get my warranty from them on my product?

I have already been stung by CZ and Comfort Furnace is not even out 2 months. So now what? CZ and Comfort Furnace are the same manufacturer.

CZ heater is still under Earthwise Technologies Inc. I don't know what to do to protect myself.

Spamming? The personal attack? Why? I don't spam. I advertise on the net, who doesn't? I do not email anyone who has not contacted me.

Josef are you representing another product line? I ask as it appears you are going on a defense. If you like another product that is understandable.

Here is a reply to a few of the comments that you mentioned:
Solar Comfort has been around since 1980's. It has the longest track record.
After reading Marks post about CZ bankruptcy and seeing all the companies out there that have not been around even a year I would want to put my trust in a product that is proven.

Regarding digital features. Everyone knows they don't last. Consider a VCR or DVD player, stereo, etc. They just do not last long term. For a few years they can be great.
I have a customer who has his original Solar Comfort from 1984. You just will not find that with digital heaters. My local competing dealer has had to replace many motherboards already.

I also know an elderly gentleman who had his plastic heater melt. Luckily he was home. I have also read multiple other peoples experience with the same issue.

Regarding cost more and does less. Well yes it does cost more, but not by much. It also cost more to build. Have you looked at the heat exchanger it has which is the only Infrared heater that has one like a real furnace? It cost more to make! It also cost more to build a Cadillac than a Hyundai.

You will not find raw sheet metal throughout the unit. Solar Comfort coats the entire insides in high heat resistant black for the best heat absorption. It also has a powder coated metal case. No plastic! Plastic is much cheaper. Most others who have wood still use plastic fronts.

In regards to the wood case, 2/3rds of our customers do not buy the wood case but rather the main powder coated unit. This saves them money and heats better.

Only heats up to 800 sq. ft.? That is correct! Unfortunately, just about every other company exaggerates to the poor consumer. They say such things like, 'heat for pennies a day!', 'for the price of a coffee maker', or 'heat 1000-1500 sq. ft.'. We are 1500watts 12 amps and all the others are 1500watts 12 amps. They exaggerate based on a reading they had to of received outside of a cold state. Keep in mind we would rather under promise as everyone's house is different. I am honest and provide realistic expectations.

This is fair warning. I know for a fact that the many new heaters popping up on the market are not there for the consumer long term. They will move on to the next big thing. Solar Comfort has proven itself. This is why we back it. I have a CZ heater, I have an Edenpure and Solar Comfort is the only one I would personally trust in my home unattended.

Please do not continue to go on an unnecessary attack. Feel free to contact me if you would like but really there is no reason for it. I have been fair and honest. I know all of these products as I have tested them and taken them a part.

Thanks

I might be interested in the Solar Comfort line except for this guy Charles SPAMMING his product all over the internet like Billy Mays. It's really annoying. If they are so much better, there would be eividence of it in reviews, which I don't see.

And regarding digital features, I have owned digital appliances for the past 20 years that have NEVER failed. The mechanical hardware has ALWAYS failed before the digital. What a crock.

In addition, the Solar Comfort costs MORE and includes less. No digital, only heats 800 ft., expensive, unnecessary wood case, etc.

I can see why he needs to spam the internet to move them. They are ridiculously overpriced, even more than the others already are.

You can still buy the CZ heaters from Well electrics with a warranty. They changed the name to Comfort Furnace and the new Super Dist. is Living Well.
heatalot.cot. Earth Wise has Orphaned heaters with no warranty.

There is another way to tell if the lamps are working after installation. This can be done by removing the filter (so easy) and looking through the fan area and you can see the light of each one. It is the only Infrared heater that you can see if they are working, especially without removing like 50 screws.

I am going to put some images of all this on the website http://www.solarcomfortheating.com
