This heater provides 1600 watts of radiant heat, generated by four quartz heating elements. While slightly lower wattage than the 1800W model, 1600W is still effective for warming small to medium-sized rooms.
4 Bar Design: This refers to the four heating tubes/elements, providing a wider spread of radiant heat compared to 2 or 3 bar models.
2 Heat Settings (800W/1600W): A key feature of this model is the ability to select between two power levels:
800W: For milder warmth or to maintain a comfortable temperature while consuming less electricity.
1600W: For maximum heating power when you need to quickly warm up a colder room.
Integrated Humidifier: Like the 3-bar model, it includes a built-in humidifier. This is a significant benefit, as it helps counteract the drying effect of conventional heaters, adding moisture to the air for a more comfortable and healthier environment (reducing dry skin, static, etc.).
Fan Assistance: While some listings may emphasize "fan and humidifier" or "fan assistance," the fan primarily helps to distribute the humidified warm air more effectively throughout the room.
Safety Features:
Tip-over Switch: Automatically shuts off the heater if it is accidentally knocked over, preventing potential fire hazards.
Cool-Touch Housing: The exterior is designed to remain safe to touch during operation, enhancing safety, especially in homes with children or pets.
Portable & Lightweight: Its design generally allows for easy movement between rooms and convenient storage.
Durable Build: Typically constructed with a metal body and a black finish, ensuring durability.
Voltage: Operates on 230V, standard for South African electrical outlets.
Model Specifics (and potential variations):
You might encounter different model numbers like GBHH-1241 or GQH-1236. While the core features (4 bars, 1600W, 2 settings, humidifier) remain consistent, minor design or aesthetic differences might exist between these variations. Always check the specific product listing for the exact model number and its confirmed features.
Ideal For:
Rooms where you need flexible heating power (800W for gentle warmth, 1600W for quick heating).
Users who prioritize combating dry air from heating.
Small to medium-sized spaces.
Anyone looking for a safe and portable heating solution.
