Cheers for that. This is my wish list solution :)

I'm not condoning manufacturers misleading the public, however, the way anything is used clearly affects an outcome. Plez see #32

Yes, i am placing myself directly in the IR beam. And when i move out of the beam it's because i'm either going out or don't need the beam any longer. The way i use it clearly does make a difference, plez see #32.

Really? Sorry but I don't think so. I can just about keep the palm of my hand on the front of my IR heater. About the same as i keep my hot water set to. It is certainly NOT red heat. It's not even 90C as someone else said. And BTW, the back of it is lukewarm - although i have always wondered...

Floats, YES. But any fan heater would BLOW any dust/pollen/whatever that was around. There's a BIG difference. Plus the convection does not start until furniture and things start to get warmed up. Fan heaters BLOW as soon as you switch them on.

Yesterday i was up before 6 and it was nippy. As i sat down with my breky and coffee i switched IR panel heater on and before i'd eaten half a bowl of cereal all around me was warming. I felt like that old Ready-Break TV advert/nuclear energy skit. However, the rest of the room was not warmed -...

But only as a scientist. Not as I intend to use it.

I am only concerned with the efficiency of heating me. You are right about the conservation of energy but i don't want to warm, and stir up, the air. Plus it's not just Good Housekeeping. i've just found a number of other saying similar, e.g. Please note the citation: "also very energy...

Thanks for replying. And i want to heat me - not the room. I also don't want to create dust floating around, or make a noise.

I've not switched it on so i can't confirm but the sales blurb & pics specifically claim the IR only goes forward, ok the unit itself may well get hot but i can turn it down to 35C and that suits me as i don't want warming massively quickly, gentle warming is far better and probably far more...

That is precisely what i want. I do not want to warm the whole room, just a bit of direct heat on me. BUT without stirring up any dusty particles.

Thanks for reading/replying Harry but with a quick Google i found that Good Housekeeping would seem to disagree, viz:

Thanks for your reply foxhole: 1) Sorry 2) 95 deg C at the front (can't find any details of rear temp). 3) Please cite/check your facts. IR panels convert 98% of elec in to heat output. Most other heaters are 30-50% efficient - at best! Ok they are a bit expensive to buy but if i can run them...

This is the sort of thing that at least some of my walls are made of ... although i am going off a quick glance when a spark was making a vertical hole to thread a cable through some 12+ months ago

Thanks for the reply Mike. "fireboard": Nah, this really is "Amazon packing rejected" corrugated cardboard. IR panel heater says 80-90C What sort of fixture/fitting/"big screw things" would you need to take the weight though? 15Kg & 1.2Mx57cm Any further thoughts please?

Hi, I bought a couple of infrared heaters, one the big flat white tv things, the other the aluminium bar type. However, when i came to hang them i discovered that the walls were made of Amazon packaging, or at least what feels like it. To make it worse i'd bought the biggest white tv one i...

We bought a Gatun monoblock kitchen tap from B&Q. However, when we looked at the old one we couldn't figure how to disassemble it. We can see the difficult to get at "nut" at the rear but there seems to be a "plate" that looks like it holds the tap in place. My son, who is far better at diy...
