These things have a 3 year warranty, take it in! There is a solution to it shutting off…they re-locate the thermostat.

My heater shuts down after about 2 minutes to restart the plug has to be pulled and wait 5 min before able to power up again, in which the problem reoccurs. I have cleaned the fan motor and keep the filter cleaned. Hope you can come up with a solution. Thanks

Looks like mixed results in this thread. I puchased the Gen3 1000 recently and it was nothing more than a glorified foot heater. When running the Gen3, I was montioring my electric meter and all indications were a 30-35% increase in KWs. Needless to say, the refund process is underway. Hope these guys aren’t too difficult to deal with.

I have an eden pure model 1000 heater, It is extremely difficult to find any place to buy one of the quarts bulbs, I finally did find a dealer who also repairs them, The cost of each bulb was $ 18.00, and there is a total of 6 of these bulbs inside the heater with an additional bulb at the front of the heater. The bulbs are wired in series in pairs of two. So I ended up getting two bulbs for 36.00 dollars. I was able to install them myself, I have no idea what they would have charged me to put them in. I would love to know if there is anywere these bulbs can be bought for less than the $ 18.00 dollars. I found a set of three on ebay for $ 56.00 dollars. If anyone knows of a place to get these things please you a message on this site.

I bought the 1000 series unit last month. My house is only a few years old and I live in Michigan.
We put the unit on our main leave and the natural gas bill is $97 cheaper then the same time last year.
The electric bill went up by $35. But now the house temp is 72-degrees instead of 69-degrees last year.
To say that this thing does not put out alot of heat is false.
This unit only turns on about 50% of time and it is running at low fan speed when it comes on.
If you can not heat you house or room up with this thing fix you house first.
Replace you windows, doors or something…

I have the EdenPure Gen3 i have a room about 25×14ft and i will not boost the temp in this room but maybe 2degrees with unit on highest setting. This is just sad, that this is supose to heat a space of 1,000sq. I couldnt in anyway see this happening. I have sepreat zone heating using Geothermal heating, and i dont even bother doing any temp adjustments to this room. For the price of this unit Not worth it!, i agree i could have spent maybe $30.00 at walmart and bought a space heater for better results.

I recently purchased an gen 3 1000 after many months of consideration. We have an old brick home, poorly insulated that leaks heat.In the winter we gegenarlly don’t heat the bedrooms, but retreat to the living room/dining room/kitchen area. We have used the Edenpure in this area with great success and with our furnace OFF. The heat (even in this drafty room) is comfortable. With the furnace off, the other rooms become quite cold, but if we move the unit to these rooms, we are fine. The unit is definitely better suited to maintaining consistent heat than heating cold rooms from the start, but it will do so. I do think the unit is at its effective limit @ about 750 sq.ft. My dogs and cat love the thing and I notice the difference in the type of heat. There is a little hype in the ads but I feel the unit is worth having. In our house it will pay for itself in about 2 months. One thing the brochures tell you is that the unit will not perform at its best it large, drafty, uninsulated spaces. That is clearly stated. It is not a magical cure. If you aren’t sure whether to buy one, try and find someone who has one and see for yourself. That’s what I did, and that’s when I finally bought one. Decide for youself.

Purchased a Sunn-twin 1500 in 2007 and it worked fairly well for 1 Winter. When plugging in for it’s second season of use, the thing made a horrible noise (the fan) & would not heat up as before. After taking the unit for repair to an authorized center, I was told it appeared the unit had been ran constantly.(?) 4 of the 5 elements were toast, and the filter was the old style. (I didn’t know anything about a new style or that they should be changed) Always did the proper filter cleaning, but apparently this “old style” filter could have caused the elements to fry after just 1 season. Also I was told the new elements were the “new & improved” long life type. Oh Boy!! what does that mean? Maybe it’ll be good for 2 years this time. $450.00 purchase price, plus $110.00 repair cost after only 1 season of use. What a bargain. I’m telling everyone I know what a rip off these pieces of crap are. Don’t waste your money. Buy something cheap at Wal mart & you’ll be much happier.

After reading all the comments on the Eden Pure I am a little worried. We purchased four (1000’s) a few months ago. I use one upstairs, one downstairs, one in a company office and gave one to my parents for christmas. So far we love them. I use the one upstairs mainly in our living room which is about 1000 square feet and I have been able to turn our gas down to 65 degrees. In our company office we turned the electric heat off altogether and use only the eden pure. We liked them so much we gave one to my parents in the hopes that it will replace their fireplace heat. I guess time will tell as to the durability of the product, but so far I really love ours

Defending them? I am just stating a fact. Some people are finding them a way to keep warm and save money on their utilities. The cost of heating a home is different in different parts of the country. I am using one as a space heater and I am saving money on natural gas. Natural gas in my area has increased to the point that electric heat is cheaper. If you are satisfied with your heating bills then maybe you don’t need to look for alternatives. I was a skeptic at first, but I have become a believer from personal experience and knowing those who have used these things. I am not endorsing or recommending them to anyone. I am just stating that they do work in certain situations.
