it's alot cheaper to go to tractor supply and buy a 1500 watt milkhouse heater. it will make the same amount of heat .
Welllllllll you asked.....This is one of those fun questiosn you may get as many "opinions" about as posters lol so I will kick it off..Hey I have big shoulders I can handle it...
As an electrical engineer and having thought about your question, its my "opinion" (maybe right maybe wrong, no warranty, its ONLY an unresearched "opinion" to which all are entitled)
NOTE Im NOT a Mechanical or Thermodynamics engineer so this may or may not be accurate, I'm NOT taking the time to research it !!!
They are of fairly good quality,,,,, nice looking,,,,,,,,, and likely a bit safer then a cheap Wally World 1500 to 1800 watt (similar size) electric resistance heater.
HOWEVER far as I know they produce around 3.41 BTU of heat per Watt of electricity they consume (a 1500 watt produces 5115 BTU) WHILE ANY CHEAP WALLY WORLD ELECTRIC RESISTACNE STRIP HEATER STILL PRODUCES THE SAME 3.41 BTU/WATT
Sooooooo if you want to pay a big price for a nice looking decent quality and probably relatively safe electric heater THATS YOUR FREE CHOICE but I dont think they are much (if anymore) more efficient as far as BTU of heat you get versus watts of electricity they use then a $20 Wally World electric resistance heater.....
NOTE I'm NOT getting into the efficiency or differences in Convestion versus Conduction or Radiation Heat, thats for the Mechanical Engineers. Basically you can "feel" warmer once all the ambient air around you is warmed up orrrrrrrrrr if youre sititn under a radiant heater you can feel warm the instant its turned on SO THAT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE BUTTTTTTTTTTT EVEN THE EDEN POURE IS SIMPLY A FORCED FAN AIR HEATER REGARDLESS IF THE HEAT SOURCE IS QUARTZ
OR INFRARED OR WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!
Your money your choice.....

It really depends on whether you're purchasing it mainly as a heater or mainly as a piece of furniture. As a heater, you can buy a unit that will put out exactly the same amount of heat and cost a tenth as much, or less (to buy, not to run---they will cost the same to run per unit of heat output). If you want to spend the extra because you like the way it looks, then we're getting into the area of taste. Matters of taste can't be argued; there's no accounting for taste.

Eden pure and Bob Vila are just alike- full of BS. My opinion DH
Steve I have 2 of a different brand in a well insulated building, no furnace in the building yet. They work great, dont have to worry about the milk house heater tipping over, I have 2 of those in a small work room, always bumping them and upsetting 1 or both of the darn things. I would put an eden pure type in that room, if I could fit them in there.

Wasn"t there an unemployed snake that found a job selling those Heaters from Eden ?
Darn Right George, anything that well touted and slobbered over and nationally advertised and overpriced SURELY DEFIES THE LAWS OF PHYSICS RIGHT??? and produces MORE then 3.41 BTU/Watt ya reckon ROFLMAO
Still, they are purdyyyyyy and are more like furniture, so if a dude wants to spend more but still get the same heat, hey who are we to stand in the way.........I SUPPORT A BODYS FREE ECONOMIC CHOICES
I was at Tractor Supply once when a plaid sport coated white shoes n belt dude was sellin them (talkin/bragging about the infrared spectrum and quartz heating) and when I started askin about 3.41 BTU/watt he tried to dismiss me and when he proclaimed how many sq feet they could heat I asked at what ambient temperature and what R value insulation he really got upset with me....WONDER WHY HMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Take care yall

I still think that you can save money by buying the Amish one for 300 bucks. You need to buy a 20 dollar one at the farm store and compair. Whey you find out that the 20 buck 1500 watt one does not put any more heat that the 300 buck 1500 watt one you will find that the heat from the rage of spending 300 buck will more than make up the difference in the heat,
Don't know why everyone's so skeptical; I've got 2 of 'em. My brother-in-law (the electrisitical one) rewired both of 'em. If I turn 'em all the way 'up', they make that meter thing outside the house run backwards. Some months, the electric company owes me money, 'stead of the other way 'round. I may get a couple more of 'em. I think I've found the solution to the world's energy crisis........

Electric heaters are essentially 100 % efficient no matter what you pay for them. It comes down to looks, fans ability to distribute or circulate the air. If you think their not 100% efficient , tell me where the waste heat goes.
Ive already told you that a 20 buck milk house heater will put out the same BTU of heat that these phony advertised heaters that cost 300 bucks.I dont understand how these liars can advertise these claims.My friend bought 2 milk house heaters from Walmart for 3.78 each on a spring time closeout.

I have a pair of 1500watt milkhouse heaters that work very well....
Problem is; my coffee cup doesn"t set very well on the handle....Might have to get an EdenPure heater so I don"t spill my coffee..coffee AND cookies should fit on that finely crafted cabinet.

The $20 and the $400 1500w electric heaters all operate at the same efficiency if you plug them into a Kilowatt(sp?) measuring electric input. Some of the expensive heaters may be a little safer to use, harder to tip over, etc. The biggest safety hazard of some electric heaters is the size, length, and quality of the cord. If you have properly sized breakers, wiring, and outlets to plug an electric heater of this size into, you can replace the electric cord on any of the heaters for less than $15 and be a lot safer.

My little brother comforts himself by saying the Eden Air, Pure or whatever is "quieter"... Quiet is NOT an issue for me. There is a rail yard close, I have a scanner on, Ham Radios, and usually a TV, and I sleep with NO problem. When I go visit him, I can sleep because it"s TOO quiet... Living in Texas, I usually only use one or two of the upright quartz heaters, and keep it very comfortable in the main areas. In the shop, a diesel fired "salamander".

I have a heater that is like a Eden Pure but you can repair this one yourself( Eden Pure is a sealed unit and if you tamper with it at all warranty is totally voided). We use ours in second story bedrooms to assist with heating them without uping the heat in the rest of the house. These type of heater are designed to assist with heating not for heating whole house.They are not as cheap to operate as they say. I'am putting a 220 baseboard heater in one of the bedrooms. Its almost imposable to find any electronics that is 100% American made.
