Ontel Handy Heater Deluxe - Unboxing and Review

Transcript

00:00Hello and welcome back to another exciting episode. Today we are going to unbox the Little Mighty Handy Heater.

00:10Now this handy heater I got because it's only 350 watts.

00:18And the reason why I did that is because if we have a power outage, I do have that Ryobi backup battery power source.

00:34Yes, I have the bigger heater and I've tested it out and it lasts about two hours with four batteries on it.

00:44However, this thing, being only 350 watts, oh by the way, the big one is like, I think it's 1300 watts.

00:54So it does pull a lot of juice.

00:56But this little thing being 350 watts, I can put it into a bedroom and it should take care of a few hours.

01:06So more than two hours anyway.

01:09We hope.

01:11I'll test that out maybe at the end of this video or see.

01:15Open this thing up.

01:16See what we got here.

01:19It says quick and easy heat anywhere.

01:22Plugs directly into the wall.

01:24It has an adjustable thermostat.

01:27Programmable 12 hour timer.

01:30It's great for garages, bedrooms, bathrooms and more.

01:33So it's not meant for the whole house, obviously.

01:36Now some of the reviews that I've seen has said, oh, it does not heat the whole house.

01:45Well, it's not meant to heat the whole house.

01:47It's meant to heat one room in an emergency situation.

01:52Well, at least in my case, in an emergency situation.

01:58So, let's see.

02:01What's this?

02:02Oh, there's no safety tape.

02:04That's interesting.

02:07Handy heater deluxe.

02:10Distributed by Ontel.

02:13In Fairfield, New Jersey.

02:16But it is made in China.

02:19So that matters to you.

02:21There you go.

02:24So it does have temperature up and down.

02:27We'll see that a little bit later.

02:29Or fan speed.

02:32Digital display.

02:34Timer button.

02:36On-off switch.

02:38Oh, and the plug does rotate, it says here.

02:40That's nice.

02:42Gives you operating instructions.

02:47How to turn the prongs.

02:50Setting the timer.

02:52Care and maintenance.

02:54Do not let liquid enter the heater.

02:57Well, duh.

02:59Alrighty.

03:00And that's about it.

03:03Oh, it is designed for in-wall outlet use only.

03:07Oh, it has a little remote here.

03:10Which has power button, timing button, wind speed.

03:15So I believe this is just low and high.

03:17But we'll find out a little bit later.

03:19Heat up and heat down.

03:26Oh, it does have that little safety thing in there.

03:28So I'm not going to detach that at the moment.

03:33And then...

03:38Dun, dun, dun.

03:40Dun.

03:44There it is.

03:47That was packaged pretty well.

03:51I don't see any damage.

03:53Oh.

03:54There's the fan.

03:55There's the heating elements in there.

04:01Oh, they look pretty beefy.

04:03From what I can see.

04:05There's the on-off switch.

04:07And then...

04:08You have for the...

04:11Oh.

04:12It could be sideways.

04:13It could be upside down.

04:18Or the normal way.

04:21That way.

04:23So you have to go back around.

04:25And then...

04:26With the...

04:28Neutral up.

04:30Which is where the new houses...

04:32Are now.

04:34They make them with the neutral up.

04:37And...

04:37Where...

04:38Like industrial places.

04:40Like businesses and stuff.

04:41You usually have the...

04:43The little hole.

04:44The little hole.

04:45It's at the top.

04:47And by the way.

04:48Anybody know why that's like that?

04:51I do.

04:52At least I was told by...

04:55Somebody.

04:57An actual expert.

04:59So...

05:00The reason why...

05:02With the old one.

05:03The prongs are up top.

05:05And the neutrals in the bottom.

05:06Well...

05:08If something were to fall...

05:10On it.

05:12Like...

05:12You know...

05:12This isn't plugged in the hallway.

05:14It's a little bit out.

05:15Let's say.

05:17And something would fall on the two prongs.

05:19It could short out the prongs.

05:21And cause a fire in the unit.

05:23It could...

05:24Cause a fire in the outlet.

05:25Or most likely...

05:27It would just blow a fuse.

05:28And of course in...

05:29Industrial places.

05:31That...

05:32Could be a bad thing.

05:33Because it...

05:34Decreases productivity and all that.

05:36So now...

05:37In the new houses.

05:40And...

05:40In workplaces.

05:42Usually they have the prong...

05:44The neutral prong up.

05:46So if something does...

05:47Hit the neutral.

05:49Nothing really happens.

05:51So...

05:52There's your answer.

05:53All right.

05:54So let's plug this thing in.

05:56And see if it works.

05:59All righty.

06:01So we got the...

06:02Battery pack on.

06:04And I did put two batteries in there.

06:06Both of them as you see are...

06:10Nice and charged.

06:14Turn on the power supply.

06:16Turn on the outlets.

06:17Plug in the unit.

06:22Oop.

06:22Got to turn that around.

06:24And the way you do that is very easy.

06:26There's a little button on the side here.

06:30And...

06:30You just turn it.

06:32Till you get it to the spot that you want.

06:35And that's it.

06:37Plug it in.

06:39Turn on the power button.

06:40There we go.

06:44Taking 20% load.

06:49Let's see if we can bring the speed down.

06:53Hello.

06:55That brings the power...

06:59Total load level down to 17%.

07:02And of course...

07:06Don't need it at 80%.

07:07Because this is going to be for emergency.

07:11So...

07:12It's a 70%.

07:13Let's see how long it takes.

07:18Okay.

07:18Put this thing in the living room.

07:21Because if I put it into...

07:22My small area of my...

07:25Editing suite.

07:26It's going to get really hot really quick.

07:28So...

07:29I did have to turn this sideways.

07:32So it doesn't hit the ground.

07:36So...

07:36Turn that on.

07:40Bring it down to 70%.

07:42Low power.

07:46Again...

07:46The load is 17%.

07:49Oops.

07:49Excuse me.

07:5016%.

07:51And let's see how long...

07:55Two batteries...

07:57Will last.

07:59And for those of you who are asking...

08:01Yes.

08:02I did turn the house thermostat down.

08:06So it would not interfere...

08:08With a thermostat on...

08:11The unit.

08:12Okay.

08:13There you have it.

08:15Round it up.

08:17Two hours.

08:20So that means...

08:22Four hours...

08:23For four batteries.

08:25Not bad.

08:26I'll take that.

08:27Well, thank you for coming along with us...

08:30To unbox...

08:32The Handy Heater.

08:35And as always...

08:37Have a great day.
