Not worth it
December 15, 2021

Works ok to warm up a bathroom or other small room. They claim a 500 ft room will go from 35 degrees to 70 in 2 0r 3 minutes, all I can say is BS.

I have run two of them in my 800 ft basement for two whole days and the temp never got higher than 65 and without heat, the basement never gets colder than 58 or so. I haven't checked the cost yet, but I'll bet its a lot more than pennies a day.

Surprised you gave them 2 stars! Maybe it became worse with time, but any reviews have become horror stories, and most don't want to even give 1 star!

Junk
December 13, 2021
Bought 6 and three went out as soon as they came on, by the end of the day 1 worked. couldn't email because the email does not exist, after over an hour talking to customer service. only 70% of my $ was refunded. They don't even want they're junk back.

TOO HEAVY, FALLS OUT of SOCKET
December 12, 2021

I've give it a zero if I could. The unit is so heavy it falls out of the wall socket. I followed directions to the "t" but it only blew cool air. I returned it.

By the way, I tried to email, found that their email doesn't exist, tried to call their phone number, no one answered and I called many times.

Lynda September 25, 2022

Yes, same problems. You returned, did you receive a refund? Most of us, if not all have NOT received any refund

Waste of money.

Does not work. Waste of money.

Agree ! Worthless POS!

Good for Southern winters
December 1, 2021
We use daily in 'winter' in SC, if we have a sunny day we barely turn it on, but if cloudy, we will run it for a few hours a day, negating the need for the heat pump to ever come on. This product will make a room that is colder than the rest of the house warm as the other rooms. It is what it is I would buy again only, paid 75$ for two. But for cold parts of country, maybe not worth it.

Fake review! Who puts the $ sign behind the number? Why is this rip-off product allowed ad space?

Another Chinese Scam
November 29, 2021

Heater doesn't work, at least mine did not. Their return policy states you have 30 days to return and receive refund less shipping and buyer is to pay for return shipping. That should be cancelled out if buyer receives a defective product.

They try to offer you only 75% less shipping. I refused and told them I would file a claim with credit card. They evidentially gave me the purchase price less shipping and I paid the return postage.

Wasted $18.39 in postage. They probably just keep shipping out all the returns that do not work and buyers just keep excepting the 75% plus paying the postage

Unsafe to use

On site will not allow you to add a review, ordered 2, they are 2 prong only and fall out of your outlet, unsafe. Called and they told me to plug in upside down, it also falls out of socket, would definitely not recommend to purchase!!

Thanks. I’ll not be ordering this!

Junk don't buy
November 25, 2021

Bought 3 of these heaters, first of all took 4 weeks to arrive, product was shipped in a plastic envelope all 3 boxes were smashed. The heater works but not as advertised and the degrees on display is in celsius only. Worse thing is heater wont stay plugged in! It's JUNK and not worth $150.00. Going to get my money back hopefully...

ZERO rating is more like it...it's JUNK, avoid purchasing

Piece of JUNK...I plugged it in and like other reviewers it hung at an angle, partially exposing the prongs. within minutes, the unit made a POP sound and shut off. I've not been able to get it to go back on. I contacted customer service for a refund, hopefully they will honor their refund policy...Bottom line, don't buy this piece of JUNK.

The company will not return all of your money/

If I could give less than 1 star I would. First they say a 30 day money back guarantee but that is false, when you call to request a return they talk you into keeping it and returning some of your money. Second it doesn't work the way they said it does. DON'T BUY IT. It is a scam.

Alpha Heater Fail!
November 4, 2021
Watch out for this product. I ordered 2 Alpha Heaters. The unit doesn't stay plugged in. It hangs on an angle leaving the plug prongs partially exposed. Shock and fire hazard if the prongs arc. Couldn't give them away! I was too afraid of something happening and too embarrassed to promote the product. Beware. Not happy!

Clever Marketing Scam
October 11, 2021

Beware, I believe the Alpha Heater is he exact same type of heater I purchased several years ago. They can be found for only $26 on Amazon and are not capable of 1200W or even 600W. They are in reality only 350W ceramic heaters.

Does not work as advertised
March 15, 2021
Terrible piece of junk, poorly made and cheap. I had it plugged in for over two hours and it only brought the room temp up two degrees. Don't waste your money .

Don’t waste your time or money.

Alpha Heater is another scam coming out of China. A way to get your money and sending you a product that costs only $’s to make and performance so poor it would not heat up a room if I caught it on fire. Buy something that will give you heat.

I unfortunately spent money on this piece of plastic only to receive a product that does not stay on - does not produce any heat and sounds like the blower (if that is what it has) is about to implode when it is on.

Very cheaply made China device I guess you get what you pay for....

I bought four of their so called plug into the wall socket heaters. Received them about two weeks ago finally. Had one plugged into my front Bedroom to test and one in the hallway near my office. On February 11th 2021 I heard a loud pop sound but did not know where it came from.

My dogs started to act funny in the hallway and went to look. I came across a strong plastic burning smell. Upon looking I found the Alpha Heater that was plugged in was getting very hot to the point that the control panel and the plastic parts above the heating element was melting due to the extreme heat. It was so very hot that I could barely grab it to unplug the heater.

I sent pictures and a detailed email to them and all they have done so far is give me a refund. If I was not home at the time this clearly could have started a fire.

Throw your money away!

Don't buy this heater. It's no different than the cheap ones you buy at Walmart. It has two settings. The low is quiet, the high is very loud and noisy. I returned because it gave off a chemical smell which irritated my sinuses and caused a headache. It won't heat more than a small room. It's way overpriced. I paid $86.44 for the unit. I had to pay to ship it back by UPS which cost $14.93 and they deducted a $9.95 restocking fee. I lost $24.88 on this deal. DO NOT BUY THIS HEATER!!!

The web site—filling in the info—has been more than frustrating. I tried to order four units (priced at approx. $44 each, with a three-year warranty. But the form would never take my order, claiming that my "address" wasn't correct. I've now given up and believe what I've read above.
