The fan was only for speeding up the process for getting the room up to temperature after it's up to temperature they don't need it.

Yes they are a resistive heater but how the energy transfer takes place is what gives them an advantage.

Thermodynamics dude...

Isn't even so expensive tbh

Here in Italy is just 200 euro

Anyway I would return it and try again if you like the model

That is 100% reasonable. I use an oil filled radiator for the same reason.

"amazingly cheap" yet twice the price of Costco paks and significantly more expensive than Cascade packs at Costco.

Indeed.

I think the main disadvantage is that the 1500w fan heater has to be running 100% of the time to both heat up my room and keep it warm. Once I turn it off the temperature immediately begins dropping. The oil heater only needs 700w to heat the room and keep it warm. If I then turn it off, it can still give off heat from the hot oil for a few hours. Even taking into account that the oil heater takes longer to get hot, I’ve been saving money.

Don’t get one with the freezer inside the fridge. Freezer below is best.

Yes, the USSR, known worldwide for quality craftsmanship (eyeroll)

Get a small fan and put it on the other side of the room from the oil heater. Put the fan on low. You just want to push air through it, not blow on it. It takes a while to heat up and once it's hot if you blow on it too hard you'll cool it off and it won't heat anything.

If you don't use a fan the heat from the oil heater just goes straight up to the ceiling and heats up your jerkoff neighbor's apartment upstairs

Fuck that guy

Get a small fan and move air through the heater and get a little room circulation going.

The other way to go is to take a medium fan and point it towards a ceiling corner of the room or straight up to the ceiling just to get full room circulation going and that will do the job as well, but you might want to orient the heater such that air moves easily through it once you figure out how the air is moving.

How high can I go? I'm at 40 now.

With some fridges you can't win. They're stocked, they freeze, they're empty, they freeze, far from the vents, they freeze the front, close from the vents, they freeze the back.

Out of 3, one was french door (Electrolux), one was bottom freezer (Haier) and one was side by side (Ikea/Whirpool).

What's the brand/model of the one you have now?

Thanks

We switched to a side by side refrigerator because of the same thing. Adjusted the temps many times and still had the issue with the two French door refrigerators that we’ve had. It’s a common issue with those styles.

Electric heaters turn electrical energy into thermal energy and are 100% efficient. So using less energy means it’s just not creating as much heat. It’s 1:1, and the different between radiator and fan+coils is the rate at which they heat.

Yep. Booth are 100% efficient and the only electric products that can be 100% efficient. The oil ones might be perceived as more efficient because they keep letting off heat once turned off, so the room doesn’t cool as quickly after use.

Properly tuned and stocked fridges.

Fridges work by pumping a lot of heat out of an air stream that then goes into the freezing compartment. From there, it pumps air into the fridge as needed through a vent on the side or back.

There’s also a thermostat in the fridge, usually as far away from the air inflow as possible. It determines how much cold air goes into the fridge before the fan turns off, and how warm the fridge compartment can get before it turns on again.

If you block the air inflow, whatever you block it with is essentially in the freezer, and since all the energy is going into keeping it frozen, the fan stays on a long time before the thermostat gets cold enough to turn it off.

Likewise, if you block the thermostat with something warm, the entire fridge will freeze before the fan turns off.

Conversely, if you put something in the fridge to defrost and place it against the thermostat, that fan will stay off and the fridge will warm up and stuff may spoil. If you put something to defrost against the inflow, it’ll stay frozen for a long LONG time.

The more full the freezer is, the more it will keep itself cool, and the colder the air will be flowing into the fridge inflow vent.

This is why sometimes you need to adjust the climate control dials in the fridge from the default settings.

Amazing channel thanks bro.

When you add the fan...they aren't.

They are still quiet, put off no light, and won't generally start a fire or burn anyone.

Yes. I use oil filled heaters in rooms where I maintain a more steady temperature, and/or light/noise/fire are of concern.

The addition of the fan uses ever so slightly more electricity, but with the benefit increasing temperature much faster.

My oil filled one is also programmable. So if I know it takes four hours to heat a room to where I want it I just set it to turn on four hours early.

My Bosch 800 series (B36CT80SNB) typically doesn't freeze food, even with things right near the cold air vents. I keep my fridge at 33 degrees.

I assume you tried to adjust the temperature up?
