Devola Smart Electric Infrared Patio Heater 1800W Low Energy | Wall Mounted WiFi Enabled Efficient Radiant Heater with Remote Control | IP44 Rated | 24Hr Timer & Overheat Protection, Black (DVRH1800B)

Having researched heaters for months and watching umpteen videos I decided to go for infrared for it's quick heat and feeling of sitting in the sun. On these counts this heater does the job perfectly. I have it set up to heat approximately 20 square metres of living space which in the cold months has it useable in about 5-10 minutes. The entire space takes a bit longer to fully heat up but it's far better than a 3 kw radiator that was being used before. The bit I didn't like is it's installation. It's weighty and so needs two people to safely install it. The lead is a bit on the short side which is inconvenient if you have a socket which is mounted on the far right of the unit. You could install it upside down though then you are left with a display which is the wrong way up. Again this could be easily engineered out. The brackets fix to wall without much fuss though its the the brackets that fix to the unit itself which were awkward, mostly as the bolts and wingnuts that secure it to the wall bracket are really fiddly. This needs some thought to make this seamless and I used heavy duty cable ties to secure the first two points in place which made the install of the next two bolts much easier. I then cut the cable ties out one by one, replacing each with a bolt and wingnut in turn. The app and connectivity were relatively simple to set up though note it's on a 2.4Ghz bandwidth only as far as wifi is concerned. It integrates in to Amazon Alexa well and can therefore be easily set up on a timer or turned on remotely using voice. The display is also not that bright and so if using it in a conservatory it might just make it easier to use the app to set the temperature. Other than these points, once it's installed it does what it needs to do very well.

Amazing heater. Someone says its not IR as it has no light emitted... that's not true. It is OR just a different wavelength than is visible. Gone from storage heaters to this beast and WOW what a difference! I have a whole 1 bedroom flat that was freezing on two storage heaters. Now this has heated the whole place all on its own. I will be adding a couple more lower power ones and keeping them all turned on eco mode /half power. Let them have an easy life. Install was simple, hooked up to WiFi so Alexa is controlling it.

Won’t warm up enough settings very hard to know what temperature is not realy with the money you can buy cheap ones and they warm up Mach more

Good sturdy product radiates head well

Brilliant really puts out some heat. We use in our outdoor bar/entertainment room and it enables us to use the area most of the year

Great heater for my home office. Heats the room (approx 3.5 x 3.5 x 2.4m) in 20mins. There is a bit of a smell given off the first couple of times you use it, but that soon disappears. Love the wifi feature… I can switch it on with the app when i’m heading home and the room is ready for me when I get in.

Bought this for our garden studio. It’s a big space, but this heater really warms the place up well. It’s easy to control with the remote, but when we did some reconfiguration of the space we lost the remote. No remote, no heater. So called the customer service number and was quickly answered by a helpful lady who told me the price and the email address to send my request to. My email was responded to within hours, and once I’d paid they wrote again to confirm they’d received the payment, and a couple of days later a couple of new remotes arrived. Can’t complement their customer service enough. So refreshing to be able to talk to someone straight away and not have to go through robotic answering systems and all the other frustrations we’re so often subjected to nowadays.

Good ir heater but don't expect to be able to connect to WiFi and keep the remote safe because if you lose that it will just be a lump of metal as no manual controls on the unit itself
