Product Review: Holmes HQH319 Quartz Tower Heater
The Holmes HQH319 is equipped with two pure quartz tubes that are designed to produce heat. The quartz tubes measure 3/4 of an inch in diameter and have a relatively short height. Unlike some other heaters, both elements heat up whether or not the heater is operating in low or high mode. This provides even heating.
The Holmes HQH319 quartz tower heater has two settings, namely 750 and 1,500 watts. The heater is equipped with a one-touch electronic thermostat, so you don’t have to worry about switches and dials. You simply press the button on the thermostat once to put the heater in high mode, while you press it twice to operate the heater in low mode. With the thermostat, you can choose five different temperatures. They include 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80 degrees.
This radiant heater also features an consistently quiet fan. The fan is designed to draw cool air from the top of the unit and blow it from behind vents located behind the quartz tubes. This allows the Holmes HQH319 heater to push out directly out in front of the heater instead of of blowing air through the bottom or top like some other designs.
You will also appreciate the safety features offered by the Holmes HQH319 quartz tower heater. The unit is equipped with a durable heavy-duty power cord so that it won’t become frayed over time. The Holmes HQH319 heater also features a tip-over switch that will automatically turn the unit off if the heater falls over. Although the metal screen in front of the heater will get hot, the plastic housing is designed to stay cool to the touch. You also don’t have to worry about the heater overheating as it was designed with overheat protection.
If you’re looking for a radiant heater to warm a small portion of a room, then you should take a look at the Holmes HQH319. The consistently quiet fan will blow air out the front of the heater instead of the top or bottom. The heater is also safe to use as it has a tip-over switch and overheat protection.
