You have a room that sits cold for hours, wasting money on heat nobody feels. Or you forget to turn the heater off when you leave, and come back to a stuffy, expensive room. The MeacoHeat 1.8kW Heater with Motion Eye solves both problems by noticing when you are actually there.
How it helps
This is a ceramic fan heater that warms a room quickly using PTC technology, small ceramic stones that heat fast and hold steady temperatures without overheating. The Motion Eye sensor detects when someone enters the room and starts heating. When no movement is detected for a period, the heater stops. If nobody has been present for 12 hours, it shuts off completely. You can also run it as a fan only for summer cooling. A tip over switch and thermal fuse cut power if the unit is knocked.
Getting the best from it
- Place it where the sensor has clear sight of where people sit or walk, not hidden behind furniture.
- Use the 900 watt setting for smaller spaces or mild days to keep running costs lower.
- Set the off timer if you want guaranteed shut off after a set period, from 1 to 7 hours.
- Keep the 1.5 metre cord length in mind when choosing a socket position.
Who it suits
This suits anyone heating rooms used intermittently, such as home offices, guest bedrooms, or utility spaces where you want heat on demand without remembering switches. It is also good for people who worry about leaving heaters running unattended. It is not for heating whole houses from one unit, or for very large open plan areas where a single fan heater would struggle. The motion sensor may not suit rooms with pets moving about, as this could trigger unwanted heating. If you need silent heating, note that this produces moderate fan noise.
