Remote Temperature Sensing Space Heater [LCD Touchscreen, Wireless Thermostat, Remote Control]

With energy costs high enough to give you a coronary every time you get the electric bill, it’s no wonder that manufacturers are trying to take advantage. It’s definitely a lot cheaper to heat only the room you are using rather than trying to heat the entire house, right? So why not have a portable heating system that you can take with you. That’s exactly what the inventor of the Remote Temperature Sensing Space Heater (insert much-needed clever name here) thought, too.

According to the people at Hammacher-Schlemmer this is the only space heater that monitors the ambient temperature from the remote control, ensuring your preferred air temperature is maintained wherever you are located. When the temperature falls below or rises above the preset level, the remote control automatically sends a signal to the heater (up to 30-ft away) to increase or decrease the wattage and fan speed.

Deeply pitched fan blades and a specially-designed air duct create a vortex of warm air that circulates throughout a 256-sq ft (24-sq m) room, heating the air evenly from the floor to the ceiling and eliminating hot and cold spots. The heater uses only the necessary energy (between 750 and 1,500 watts) to achieve the preferred temperature, ensuring optimal efficiency.

The unit features a remote control that also allows you to adjust heat output or set the timer with the touch of a button, and all functions can be changed using the heater’s LCD touchscreen. The Remote requires two AA batteries and the heater plugs into an AC outlet. Overall the space heater measures 13×12.25x 10.25-in (33×31.1×26-cm) and weighs 7.5-lbs (3.4-kg).
