Seabreeze SOH3003T Heat Sweep ThermaFlo



Reliable Thermaflo Heater
I bought this heater 6 years ago this month and used it mostly in the bedroom. It's still working so well this much time later that I am considering getting a 2nd one.
I'm 78 now, and the ThermaFlo is the absolute best one I've ever had! It's quick
"hot stuff" but never too hot to touch! Readers, GO FOR IT!

Effective
This little heater really keeps my office warm — better than any floor heater I've had previously. The controls are not the easiest to deal with when you are fiddling around with something on the floor under your desk, but other than that, I'm really impressed.

Not over impressed.
The heater is well made and works. It's just not nearly as good in my opinion as other reviews make it out to be. I have a couple other 1500 watt heaters that throw out "hotter" heat than this unit. The fan is a little more powerful on this unit. I thought about returning it but have found a use for it. I also think for what this heater costs, you can buy a better and cheaper one just about anywhere.

Seabreeze SF6000TA "Contempro"® 1500w Heater with "ThermaFlo"? Technology



For RV - Exactly what I was looking for!
We were looking for a small heater for our RV to take the chill off without having to run our furnace. This is a perfect little heater for us! It is small. Doesn't have a metal grate or any exterior metal parts that get hot. It is quiet! The heating elements never get hot enough to glow red. The "smart" thermostat controls the level of heat produced by the element and the speed of the fan. This little guy can put out up to 5,120 BTU at 1,500 watts. It has tip-over protection and a double level of overheat protection. We have a little RV dog and these features make it a very safe heater to have in our RV and we felt good about it being made in Canada! We can't yet comment on durability at this time.

Small, "whisper-quiet" as promised, and efficient--thanks!
It's tiny! When the package arrived, I thought it was far too small. I'd had another model that was already small and that one was about 50% larger. However, if I place the heater near where I'm working, it puts out a gentle stream of warmth that feels so good!

Really? Just a piece of overpriced junk in my opinion! Dreadful.
Wow. What a piece of junk. Now I know never to trust a handful of 'glowing' reviews. Dreadful purchase, this is going straight back to Amazon.

First of all, the packaging was awful (shipped by Amazon, who are usually much better), the retail box had been taped all around and shipped without double boxing, and with UPS's handling, didn't arrive in very good shape. I immediately began to wonder if someone had already returned this item before me, and that wouldn't surprise me. They most likely took it out of the box, plugged it in, realized what an overpriced piece of absolute junk this is, put it right back in the box and returned it immediately too, just as I am about to.

It is small, and very lightweight, all plastic. It tips over very easily then does not automatically shut off, probably a terrible fire hazard.

It has a fan which blows air EXTREMELY NOISILY. There is an on/off switch, and one simple dial for "Lo" and Hi", which controls the fan...
