Benross 42469 2800W Industrial Fan Heater/Adjustable Thermostatic Control/Cool Air Setting/Dual Overheat Protection/Portable With Carry Handle/Low Noise

Purchased this for the mother-in-law and she’s over the moon with it. It soon warmed up her flat and it’s not very noisy like some others she’s had before. I also like it’s very safe if it starts to tilt a little and then cuts off. Well worth the money. Definitely recommend this heater.

Got this for £26 on discount . Bigger than I thought (my fault for not measuring ),quite bulky and heavy(casing is metal)but this should protect it more and make it more robust . Great yellow colour and minimalist industrial design I like. Has good tilt safety mechanism(not the usual cheap button on a spring)but something internal positioning much better. But noisy,more than I expected but a reasonably pleasant drone. Very powerful on full 2.8 kw. You could get a 3 kw fan heater,plastic but smaller,more compact and lighter for £20 maybe less,if you want compact immediate 3kw heat then a more standard design plastic heater might be better. Anyway,I'm nice and toasty after my boiler broke so I'm happy . Enjoy.

The firts unit supplied appeared faulty with both power and caution lights on. Fan would only run when thermostat was turned up and it should run contiouously when switch is in Fan position. Returned for replacement which was exacyly the same. I kept the second unit as the construction was reasonably sturdy for use in garage or shed and rewired it to operate safely. Now when mains power is switched on the power light comes on. Turning switch to FAN and the fan runs irrespective of the thermostat position. Turn on one heater and the Caution light illuminates to show that it is heating and this light stays on when the second heater is switched on. The thermostst can then be adjusted and the heaters cut in and out as required but the fan runs continuously. The differential on the thermostat is not very wide but the heaters do cut in and out sataisfactorily. A big improvement.

brilliant heaters warms my big flat room up brilliantly thank you

I was not impressed. When I first received this item, the heat generated was fine, but I realised it cut out 10 minutes after being turned on. The room is large enough not to trigger its sensor, but the two lights would flash. I had to turn it off and leave it for 10 minutes before using it again. After about 10 months, this stopped and remained on for as long as it was plugged in. Last week it packed up entirely after a part inside melted and is now rattling around inside, freely. I got Amazon to accept it back for a refund, so it's gone.

I bought this to replace an apparently similar Honeywell model, but was disappointed. Amazon's web page has several errors - this doesn't have ceramic elements, it's not fully assembled, it's not a convector heater and it's not solar powered. Not too much of a problem as I didn't believe the text anyway - apart from the "fully assembled" bit. What was more worrying was the lightweight and flimsy feel compared with the Honeywell, this despite the blurb being peppered with "high quality", "robust" and "industrial". After a few weeks of use the element started to glow a bright red hot over half of the element and the "Caution" light lit up, although it kept running. Returned for a refund.

This is a good product for occasional use . The term industrial I think refers to its appearance which is as you see bright yellow. I found it heated a small room in about 2 hours but its really more suited to warming one person in an unheated room. It is reasonably quiet but one would want to wear headphones to listen to music near it I liked the combined fan and heater arrangement that ensures it shuts off cool not hot . There is also a tilt cutoff that shuts it down if it falls over this operates if it is even slightly out of vertical. There is a handle on top that one has to fit with two screws I used Loctite on mine as they might vibrate loose. the fan is well balanced gut there is a small ampunt of vibration. The heater is light weighrt and easy to carry. I use it in an unheated conservatory in combination with a dehumidifier If I work in there in winter I prefer the fixed beam of heat to one that sweeps an arc as there is no change in sound and one learns to ignore ur

Used this heater for 2 hours per day and after a couple of weeks the plug got so hot it melted onto the plug socket and if this had gone unnoticed would probably have started a house fire, extremely dangerous fault to have so I would recommend to everyone to avoid.
