There have been quite a few discussion on these here and on other forums.. The general consensus is that a 1500 watt heater is a 1500 watt heater.. and all electric heaters have the same efficiency rating..
There is nothing special about the edenpure/amish made heaters that a $30 walmart heater wont do...
The edenpures do have a nice wooden case which serves 2 purpose 1) to make it look pretty and 2) keep combustibles from getting near the heat source anc catching fire.. BUT are the worth paying 10x the price for the cabinet?
I read quite a bit on these as I was considering one for use in our RV. I have 2 friends that have them and swear by them, however all that I read is not golden. Basicly an over priced electric space heater from what I gathered. Perhaps the larger fan circulates a bit more and makes you feel that they are doing more. I decided to save my money.
I have one. Don't know weather it is really worth the money paid, but on the good side it does have quite a bit more sensitive thermostat. Alot safer than the normal heaters I've bought from other stores, and the heat seems to be alot more controlled. All that said, I doubt I'de buy another because of the initial cost. The larger and quieter fan makes quite a difference too in circulation.

Thanks for all the replies, Did a search and based on all the information I found I think this is a very over priced space heater no better than a wally world heater. They do a good job of advertising. They can talk the talk but the heater can't walk the walk. :laughing:

Nothing to really add other than to confirm what others have said.
Electric heat is electric heat. It doesnt matter weather it is resistance, infared, quartz, oil filled, etc. It all puts out the same BTU's per given watt of input. They are all equally efficent.
And if you already are using a heatpump, those are about 3x's more efficent than any other form of electric heat. So one of these would cost you more to operate.
The only POTENTIAL savings is the ability to lower the temps in rooms that you arent using down to 50-60 degrees, and only keep the room you are in warm with one of these. But then again, a $30 walmart heater will do the same, just not look as pretty.:2cents:

Was at my older sisters house this weekend, she was so proud to bring me in and show me her new eden pure heater, I felt so sorry for her as I have read all the previous discussions on these things and she really can't afford to overpay for something.
