Dimplex DDF250B 250 W Heater, Black/silver

Product Information

Our team had previously tested an older version of the GiveBest heater. This current model, in comparison, heated spaces around 14% faster, likely due to enhancements in its internal heating elements and fan mechanics. Insights from the Test Floor Namely, the Brightown heaters if a 400-watt heater that draws only 3.6 amps at 110V or 3.3 amps at 120V amps. That means that even if you have a 30 amp 120V RV generator, you will still have 26.7 amps left if you run the Brightown heater at 100% heating output.

Depends on the circuit, it’s purpose and the breaker used in line. Chances are good that if the circuit it’s hooked to isn’t rated for that much draw on a consistent basis. Switching to a 220v or 240v dedicated line would save money in the long term because 220/240 v power uses less juice than 110/120v does. Reply Hi Rolf, that 50 Hz vs 60 Hz difference makes this quite unusable, yes. Otherwise, you would need a 220V to 110V converter; the wattage will remain the same (1500 watts) but, because now you are using half the voltage, the amp draw will double. The 1500W 220V draws 6.8 amps and the 1500W 110V draws 13.6 amps. Hope you find an adequate substitute here. Reply Hello there, you have 4 600W radiant panels; the total wattage is 2,400W. You would need a converter that can handle at least 2,400W. If you run them for 24h per day at 100% output, they will require 57.6 kWh of electricity. Hopefully, you can use this data to set up a system with 12V or 24V batteries. Reply John, I know we haven’t exactly came to 100% direct answers but I hope the logic about how to think about all of this helps a bit. ReplyHello Damien, if it draws 3000W, the wiring should handle 25 amps. That’s quite a lot. Example: Even the highest BTU 120V air conditionerscan handle about 15 amps. You should use an amp breaker or rewire it to 240V, yes. Reply You also have a 5 1/2 ft long cord (useful for office use), overheating protection, ceramic surface (won’t get burned), and an ETF certificate for safety. Patent pending Heat Guard provides Low Surface Temperature (LST) and highly efficient dual convection technology. A standout characteristic of the Brightown heater is its exemplary energy efficiency. Our meticulous testing showcased its power consumption, consistently aligning with the advertised wattage. This accuracy ensures users won’t be caught off guard with unexpected hikes in their energy bills, all the while promoting a greener operational approach. 3. Prioritizing Safety We live in our 5th wheel. My wife needs a CPAP with O2 at night. The CPAP transformer uses 140 watts and the O2 concentrator 240 watts, both 120 volt. I’m trying to figure a way to provide power for her needs at night. Generators run out of gas. I was thinking about deep cycle rv batteries and solar panels to charge the batteries during the day. There are many 12v deep cycle batteries that put out 105 AH for their 20 hour capacity. I just don’t know how many batteries or solar panels I will need to facilitate my wife’s needs. She only uses her CPAP and O2 in bed at night. Thanks. Reply

Compared to an older version we evaluated last year, this FAMPUTR model heats up approximately 12% faster. This enhancement is likely due to improved heating coils and optimized airflow. Test Takeaways comfortable, efficient, safe and silent heating all season long. Come home to the warmth of Amaze Heater. Hello Roy, it depends on the voltage. If you use a 120V generator, you will get 10,500W/120V = 87.5 amps. If you use a 240V generator, you will get 10,500W/240V = 43.75 amps. In both cases, the generator is too weak; it doesn’t provide 200 amps. You would need a much stronger generator for 200 amps. Reply AMAZE ALL-SEASON HEATER FAN Dual Comfort 2 in 1 Heater / Fan2 Heat SettingsHigh (1500W) / Low (750W)Hello Rabih, basically the 550W units can produce more than 550W of electricity per hour if it’s a very sunny day. That’s a fellow engineer advised the use of a 5 kW inverter, instead of a 3.3 kW inverter. If you would be producing 3,300W, that would be exactly 15 amps on a 220V circuit. Now, if it is very sunny and you actually are getting 5,000W, the amps increase to almost 23 amps. Hi William, we are talking 200 amp 110V service, presumably? That’s a total wattage of 200A*110V = 22,000 Watts. A 1,000W solar panel will produce 1,000W of electricity when the sun is shinning (peak sun hour). The rough answer would that you need a 22kW solar system for continuous 200A 110V service. Hope this helps a bit. Reply Low wattage space heaters are particularly well-suited for small to medium-sized rooms, where they can effectively heat up the space without overwhelming it. Their energy-efficient design means they can be used for longer periods without causing a significant increase in energy consumption. Low-wattage heaters, obviously, draw a lot fewer amps and are considered low-amp heaters. All of these heaters are either on 110V or 120V voltage circuits. Here are how much amps space heaters draw: If you apply the heating rule of thumb, this heater can cover spaces with up to 23 sq ft. However, the Lasko MyHeat is not meant to be used as a primary heating system; it is a secondary heating system that can provide supplemental heating.

Hello Willy. 150 Amps is a huge current; at 110V, that is 16,500 Watts, yes. Be aware that solar panels produce electricity at a lower voltage (12V or 24V). To get 16,500 Watts at 24V, you would need 687.5 Amps. Hope this helps. Reply The current model of the Brightown Small Space Heater heats approximately 10% faster than its predecessor, which we tested last winter. The company has made noticeable enhancements in its heating coil design and fan mechanics. Critical Observations from the TestI am considering hard wiring ( with switch boxes) a 250 amp welding mach./ generator to my house. Generator is rated at 10500 watts peak / 9500 watts continuous, is this going to be sufficient to supply power to my 200 amp service Reply It is illegal to make a device that pulls anything over 15 A on 120v because most receptacles can only handle 15 A At 120v and most breakers On receptacles is a 15 A . You can only pull close to 1500w witch is 75% of the breakers capability as if you pull 1800W your at 100% of the breakers capacity and it will trip … Reply Brightown mini heater has everything we would want from a perfect low-wattage heater. It has a low watt and amp draw, produces a sizable over 1000 BTU heating output, has very small dimensions, is quite cheap, and, very importantly, is quite durable and reliable. Hi, I’m moving my bandsaw to Europe. Saw has 110 Volt and 1500 watt the motor is 2 HP. The shop in Europe is 220 Volt. What type of converter will I need? Our initial tests revolved around the heater’s power draw. The manufacturer claims a certain wattage, and our task was to verify this. Throughout our test cycle, the FAMPUTR’s consumption was impressively close to the advertised specifications. A stable average of 262W was recorded, underscoring its energy-efficient design.

Portability: In general, low wattage space heaters are smaller and lighter than their high-wattage counterparts, making them more portable. However, if you plan to move the heater from room to room on a regular basis, consider choosing a model with a convenient carry handle, caster wheels, or other easy-to-move features. According to the heating rule of thumb, you would need about 30 BTU per sq ft of living space (with an 8 ft ceiling). When choosing a low wattage space heater, it’s essential to consider key factors such as the heater’s size, temperature control, and safety features. The size should be suitable for the room you plan to use it in; a heater that is too small may not provide the desired warmth, while an overly large one may waste energy.
