Sunbeam SLP3300-UM Low Profile Heater with Adjustable Thermostat Review


We tend to keep our central heating set pretty low (65 during the day, 61 overnight), but we have a newborn so we wanted to keep one of the rooms really warm. This unit does a good job of keeping a 14×12 ft. room warm during the day and overnight. As the other reviews say, it doesn’t heat up a cold room very quickly, but it does a good job of maintaining a temperature once it get to its target temp.

pro: it seems to do a good job maintaing a temperature once you figure out the right dial positions. It doesn’t keep swinging between too cold and too hot.

cons:
1. No temperature degrees markings – I’d really prefer to be able to turn the dial to 70 degrees and know that it’ll shut off at 70. The way it is now, I had to turn the dial all the way up, wait for the room to get too hot, turn it down a little, then a little more, etc. until it finally kept the room at a comfortable temperature.
2. Timer – it’d be nice if it had a built in timer so it would turn on/off at preset times. Right now we just have to switch it off and then *hope* we remember to switch it on a few hours before we want the room to be warm.

Customer Reviews

Worked until the warranty went out – Wally – St. Louis, MO USA
I bought one of these a little over a year ago. I didn’t use it that much, but after the warranty (1 yr.) ran out, it stopped working. They sent out another one (to Sunbeam’s credit), but it worked for about 8-10 hours then stopped. This is an example of too much tech for a simple product.

I took it apart to see if I could wire it back together and bypass the electronics. This one had already been worked on. The solder joint for the power cord was loose from the circuit board.

Threw it away and bought some Pelonis oil-filled space heaters. Rock solid.
