Several years ago, quartz infrared heaters came onto the scene and have become extremely popular as a new generation of space heaters. We think there are nice advantages to infrared heaters, including possible therapeutic benefits. Some claim to see such therapeutic results that they have to continue using their heaters in the summer!
HOWEVER ... while we like infrared, we now urge consumers to look for infrared heaters using PTC heating elements because these last up to 80,000 hours, or at least 4 times longer than your typical quartz infrared bulb.
Quartz infrared bulbs are rated to last up to 20,000 hours. However, sometimes the heaters use too much power and burn these bulbs out early, which is the basis for many complaints you'll see online. We haven't yet heard about PTC elements burning out!
This is one more reason why we so strongly recommend the EdenPURE GEN2 heater. Low price, PTC infrared heating, and a bunch of other features built in. We think this should be the heater to get this season.
