This includes a physical on/off switch, a backlit mono display, and five buttons. From the front it looks like a featureless whiteboard, but there’s a small control box tucked away at the back that increases its overall depth to a little under 5cm. Other than that, it’s a similar size to a convector heater, and a fair bit bigger than the smallest fan heaters, such as the MeacoHeat Motion Eye 1.8kW Heater. This heater’s very slim, with a depth of less than two centimetres. If you want to feel the benefit, you need to be reasonably close to the heater. They directly warm up any people, surfaces or pets that their infrared light falls on. Infrared heaters, on the other hand, focus on this second method of heating. They also radiate heat, which is chiefly why it feels particularly warm when you stand directly in front of them. The latter heat a room by circulating warm air which, over time, heats the room and everything in it. Infrared heaters have a markedly different effect to fan or convection heaters.
This model uses about a third of the electricity you’d burn running even a single element on a bar fire. You might notice those ratings are considerably lower than typical for electric heaters, which usually come in at around 1-3kW.
The Princess Smart Infrared Heater is available with three power ratings: 700W, 540W, and the 350W model I’m reviewing here.
