 Will keep a well insulated home/room very comfortable. |

| Because the digital sister model SLP3310 would not work with a timer, I returned the 3310 to the big box store where I bought it and bought on-line 2 of the SLP3300 for $60 each & free shipping. The 3300 is analog, with 2 rotary dials. The 3300 will come back on after a power outage, and it will work with a 3-prong, 1875 watt timer. I use the 'low' heat setting with the thermostat on a modest setting, in a 12 x 14 foot room with 8 foot ceilings, and it keeps my (well insulated) bedroom very, very comfortable. Although Sunbeam has a lousy reputation in electric blankets, this 3300 heater appears well made. Note, the 'high' setting could burn paint off a wall if positioned too close. |
We love it.

| We,re full-time RVers and finally found a quiet heater to replace the noisy fan types we've had. Don't expect this to heat up a cold trailer from scratch, but in a trailer that is already heated up, this will maintain the heat quite nicely and do so quietly. |
Keeps a room warm

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 14x12 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. |
Good for small room...if you have time for it to warm up.

This heater works fine if you have a small room to heat and have a couple hours to wait for it to make a difference. I should have done more research and learned what convection heating (like this one) is all about. There is no warm air that blows from the heater unit, rather it just gets hot and the warm air rises from it. If you are looking for faster and more directed heat...I suggest a heater with a built-in fan.

| I bought the SLP-3300B (black casing) for use in my studio, turned it on and waited about 2 hours. It made absolutely no difference in the ambient temperature of the room - not even in the immediate vicinity of the heater, except for about 2 ft right above the heater itself. I figured that the room was too large for the heater to handle (it's about 600+ sf), so I brought it home and tried in my family room which is about 11x22. I thought in a smaller room it might help keep the temperature warm so that I could lower thermostat a few degrees. I was wrong! I had the unit set all the way up, and not only didn't it help keep the room warm, the unit itself seemed like it was cooling off. Bought it at Target and will be taking it back tomorrow and getting a ceramic heater instead - and not one made by Sunbeam! |
