Now that I have retired I am concerned about higher energy costs, as I'm home more often. I have an energy meter with my solar system, so I have been able to verify this heater does consume less power. I expect I will recoup the more expensive purchase cost over time. No problem in providing personal heat in a large room and I expect it would be great in a home office. When it gets really cold (in Melbourne), I will probably still be using my main heating system, but good for occasional use on cooler spring and autumn days. Ideal for when you are sitting, reading, watching TV, etc, but doesn't heat the air in the room much, so less useful if you need to provide heat for children, etc. More gentle heat than other portable options, which I find make the room feel stuffy and my eyes itch. The unit looks well made, has good setting options and is easy to use.Read full review

The Ionmax Ray ION801 is by far the best Infrared Heater on the market, because the Infrared Spectrum it emits is perfect for the human body, since the human body emits a wavelength of approximately 9μm (we lose heat in the spectrum of 9μm), while this heater gives us a wavelength of between 4 ~ 14μm. There are no heaters out there currently (that I know of), that are perfectly suitable for the human body, like this heater is. This heater does not heat the air, it heats objects, just like the sun does, and the objects in the room slowly lose heat thereby maintaining a perfect temperature in the room. In fact, it seems that by running this heater, it feels like summer inside of the room, because the heat trapped in the room is almost the same heat that the Sun emits in the summer. At only 1200w, the heat emitted is immense for the low amount of electricity used. Shorter Wavelength Infrared heaters, called "Radiant Heaters" that you can buy for a cheap price of about $40-$70 from places like The Good Guys and Bunnings, are typically between 2000w-2400w. They use a lot more power, because the Infrared Wavelength they emit is shorter, and thus use more energy, because the shorter the wavelength of light, the more energy it actually is. The heat emitted doesn't last very long, since short wavelength light by nature is too short to reach objects around it. In summary, this heater is the best because: the heat is perfect for the human body, it uses a maximum of 1200w, it has multiple controls on it, it has auto shut off features, it is of a good size and can cope with larger rooms at the highest level of 9. Basically, you are wasting your money on gas heaters, oil heaters, reverse cycle heaters, fan heaters, etc, because they are not an efficient way of heating. Only Far Infrared heating is suitable, and only 2 kinds of heaters out there achieve that: wood heaters, and the Ionmax Ray ION 801. Wood heaters are messy, and you need to constantly clean up after each burn, which wastes time and requires effort. The only other alternative is the Ionmax Ray ION 801, it is a no mess no hassle heater, and gives you instant heat that makes you want to sink into your chair from the warmth it gives. It's just like the sun on a warm summer day...Read full review

Got 2 of these heaters great in that they supply instant heat. You do need to be in front of them to get the heat but work very well. The units are expensive but well built and cheap to run at 1200 watts which is equivalent to a 2k watt electric heater
