Heat of the sun Indoor and Outdoors

published

The motion sensor, and built-in timer with a remote control!
It works in all kinds of weather, wind, rain, fog, or snow, and it's there the perfect temperature all year round! So warm only use it on lowest setting and heats the loungeroom up instantly. Love it!
I love the idea of the special carbon fiber bulb technology that produces invisible infrared thermal waves that disperse the heat directly and maintain your desired temperature. Heats up in seconds - Unbelievable

Purchased in May 2021 at TV Shop for $399.00.

Instant Heat!

published

This is the real deal!, As soon as you turn the heater on, there's no wait time of feeling the heat, you feel it instantly. I have mine wall mounted So I just use the remote control to set the motion sensor on, timer and for adjusting the heat levels.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED

published

When we told guy where we were using them, above outdoor bar, we were not told that they will not work in a downward direction. Mounting on eaves can not feel the heat. Have to mount on stands to feel the heat. SO MESSY with cords now, NOT HAPPY AT ALL. defeats the purpose. Waste of our money. we bought 2

Instant heater wall mount

published

These heaters are a rip-off and do not save you any money or use less power than a cheap fan heater !!
These heater cannot be used in small rooms, and have to be 1.8 M off the ground, and 300 mm from the ceiling .
These heaters do not save money and and use a lot of power . Just buy a cheap fan heater !

Extremely good.

published

This is an extremely good product so very happy I got 2 will buy 2 more later on for 2 more rooms I have not had to go higher than number 2 setting yet as it is that good. It only takes about 10 minutes to put onto a wall with the good solid brackets only problem is the nuts are a bit narrow for the supplied spanner.

Sunshine blade 2000 watt

published

Quick heat but a mission to install. I had to supply two bedpost washers for it to stay fastened tight & the screw on bolts we're difficult to budge less alone fasten tight the fixtures. Also putting bracket on wall first is a must that instructions don't mention. Still 100$ cheaper than other brands

Not what I expected

published

Just didn't do what was advertised. Very disappointed. To achieve what they say up to 8m you need two both sides of the room. I notice it's so easy to purchase one but what a mission to return. Been three weeks from the first call to return it and still waiting for a response.

Not worth the money.. its going back

published

False advertising at it best good for 4 to 5 meters inside but outside in the cold its more like 3 to 4m . Far to expensive for what it is. Im sendig it back and save $600 put the money towards a wood fire . Would not recommend for outside unless you mount both either side of a room. And about the same price as the dryer to run

Poor Quality

published

Me and a neighbour live in Tasmania and went halfs getting 2 Sunshine Blade Instant Heaters off the TV in August 2017 for nearly $900, thanks to the offer of buy one get the 2nd heater for half price. Mine is now beginning to show a bit of Rust. Wish now that we purchased a Veito Blade like our friend purchased at Agfest last year.

Misleading - Shows as a cordless heater

published

Very disappointed. One feature that really appealed to me in the informercial was that it was cordless and figured it could be battery operated). Thought it would be great on my white wall (just like the advert) and in the bathroom and deck (just the advert (NB:not many decks have power sockets on weatherboard), but when it arrived it had this massive black cord hanging from it!! (Not like the advert!). VERY MISLEADING. Unless the cord is covered or fed into the wall this could be very dangerous for little kids should they pull it down.
I agree with the others about there return cost, very expensive..

False Marketting Advertisement

published

This is typical example of a TV advertisement that gives you a false impression of the heaters capability. I have purchased two with the intention of having one inside and one outside. What a waste of money there is no way the heater radiates 8 meters outside more like 2-3 meters. Someone should be held responsible for this FALSE TV advertising.

If you bought it new you should contact the supplier or manufacturer. We had a problem with 1 out if 3 of ours and they exchanged it for us. If you bought I’d second hand and it does not work take it back to where you got it.

Ngara, turn it "up" other way..the power chord and "button" need to be on the left as you face it

Hi Hayley, Maybe the remote needs a new battery it might be very low. When ours turns on It starts at level 4 then can be adjusted up or down from there. Other than that maybe you should contact the manufacturer or the local marketer for advice. Sorry I can’t be if more help.
