USHA Heat Convector 812 T 2000-Watt with Instant Heating Feature Room Heater(Black)

Good👍 product

Seller: Cloudtail India Private Limited Price: 2200/- (Price can drop as low as 1700/-) Delivery: One day, Prime, Bangalore Package: Big carton box with air pack, No damage Recommended: Yes Returnable: YES Room Heaters, which one do you need? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before my review, I will let you know which one should you buy. An oil heater is best that you can buy, but that is worth spending for places where the weather will be colder for more than 3 months and well below 10 deg. For normal winter uses, I recommend buying Convection type heaters with fan and Thermostat. Please avoid conduction based ones (They can consume less power, cheap but they are very slow, plus burns oxygen). Also note, whichever you buy make sure it has a Thermostat setting! Product Review: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This product from USHA is a convection type room heater, and I have listed the below features and information. ♦ Twin Blade fan ♦ Thermostat built-in (Like AC, will turn on/off as per temp changes) ♦ 1000W/2000W operation (2000W means faster heating) ♦ Fan only mode for normal table fan type! (Can't adjust speed/ ON-OFF) ♦ Power LED when it operates ♦ Fan noise is high and a bit annoying if your room is very calm ♦ 15A Power plug and 1m cord length ♦ Retracting stand to elevate height about 2 inches ♦ 1 year warranty for the product The room heater uses a powerful fan to spread the heat. No Swing option, very directional. You must position it correctly and securely. The Thermostat option is good to have, and I suggest buyers to buy with thermostat, as this will help reduce your EB bills, as well as give comfortable weather inside. The thermostat is not very accurate, like in Air conditioners but works. The user manual gives clear information about using it. How to set up? ~~~~~~~~~~~ ♠ Power on, select 1000w/2000w (The switch is not easy to operate) ♠ Set to thermostat switch to MAX (Anti-clockwise) ♠ Let the heater run till you feel comfortable (Warm inside) ♠ Reduce the thermostat slowly till the point where the unit turns off ♠ Leave that setting undisturbed and let the heater ON till morning --> Note, if you have mistakenly set it wrongly, turn-off and turn-on. Once again follow the same step above. I use this for my sleeping room which is about 12x12 size. In Bangalore, it is about 20-21 deg at night and can drop low in another few weeks, and it took about 20-30 minutes to bring it 26-27 deg with 1000w in almost closed room. Please note, if your place has a room temperature (Not outside temp) well below and it not exposed to sunlight, then it will take a long time to reach comfortable temperature. In such cases only use 2000 W setting. It does not burn oxygen but reduces relative humidity which can cause dryness, so keeping a bucket or a better a tray of water will help. But you must keep your window slightly open, never use it on a closed room. 5A or 15A? ~~~~~~~~ I see this as a main problem, as in many of our houses, we only have 15A for Washing machines and AC socket which is not easily reachable. This unit can only be plugged into 15A socket. The reason is, when you operate a 230v, unit with 5A socket, you can only draw a maximum of 1150 Watts (230v x 5A) from that socket. However, since this unit operates also at 2000W, it requires 15A, as that could only provide up to ~3000W (230v x 15A) like ACs, etc. However, you can safely use this unit from a normal 5A socket ONLY IF YOU ARE USING AT 1000W ALWAYS. Just buy a 5A to 15A converter socket and use this. Do not worry, it will work just fine, but never use 2000W though (If you house has MCB Tripper, then it's much safe). Tips: ~~~~ >> Always keep some space from all 4 sides of the heater unit >> First try with fan unit for 10 minutes before using for heater (Using after a long storage ) >> Keep a window slightly open for fresh air >> Air can feel dry after sometime, can cause nose irritation and dryness. Room must be ventilated, adding water tray can help Drawbacks: ~~~~~~~~ 1. Fan noise, sometimes unbearable in a calm room 2. Average Build quality and finishing Final words: ~~~~~~~~~ I recommend this product, a cheap and effective unit for a small to medium size rooms and it does not burn oxygen, but makes dry air which can easily be overcome. The prices could drop around 1700/- sometimes, so please check price before buying. Thanks for reading this, if you have any doubts, comment below.

...deducting two stars because the thermostat doesn't seem to kick in. As a result the heater keeps going on and on, resulting in very high electricity bill. Update after 9 to 10 months:- Thermostat works and works well! Furthermore, there was an problem needing service. In a matter of hours, the service center (live person answered immediately without having to contend with a robot) scheduled a service technician would came from out of town just for repairing my heater. The repair went very well, a thoroughly 100% satisfied customer here!!

Hi, I purchased this Usha 812T heater which got delivered to me on 29th Dec 21. We use it moderately for just 3-4 hrs in day. It was working fine for 18 days. However,on 19th day i.e on 16Jan22 night, after around half an hour of running it suddenly started making 'khad,khad,khad...' sound and all its coil were red hot. Since we were awake, I just switched off the power from main switch. It could have resulted into burning or fire, if I would have delayed for few more seconds. When I picked up the heater in hand, it looked some part was loosened inside. Then on the next day, on 17th Jan 22, I lodged a complaint with Usha customer care, na di was told the technician will visit within 48hrs. However, no one came in 48 hrs. So I called up the technician on the number shared to me by Usha on 19th. After that technician visited me. Upon checking he found that out of 2 fans, one fan has loosened completely and fallen inside, that is why it was making sound and coils were getting too much heated. I was relaxed that it's not a big problem and would be fixed quickly. But to my surprise, the plastic coupler to which the fan was screwed, is not able to hold the screw tightly. There was a problem with the coupler. What kind of quality it is that within few days of usage screw automatically loosenrd and coupler not able to hold it anymore? Adding to my surprise, the technician was not having the new coupler for replacement. He said he will check tomorrow and come back of part is available. But he didn't came back. When I called next day, he said part is not available and has informed the company, but can't say when it will be available. So I called Usha customer care again, and they said "yes techinician has reported part is not available" na dwe are forwarding your request to service team to arrange the part asap. Since then I have been calling Usha Customer care as well techinician everyday and both are throwing the ball on each other. Usha customer care is worst saying everytime that they are forwarding the request to concerned department and as soon as the part is available it will be replaced. I asked them how many days it may take as I can't keep on waiting for a month, they just said they can't say when it would be available. Since it is too cold nowadays, and heater is not working what is the use of purchasing this Usha heater. If they will replace it after a month, winter would have already passed by then. This is a worst after sale service from big brand like Usha, and it was not expected from Usha. If they don't have the basic parts available with the service center, what is the use of sending technician empty handed? From now on, I will never recommend Usha to anyone, and if any Usha representative is reading this post, I request to them to service my heater asap. Thanks

One side of the top is raised, looks like it was opened and fixed and resold to another customer. The On/Off knob is too tight and that too looks it was opened and refixed. Heater does not warm up the room even after4/5 hours. You can feel the hot air only when you keep your hand about a feet from the air vent. Only one fan mode and that too is so slow...the air throw is very poor. Overall it's a very poor quality convection heater. Wish to return it.
