Hey there,
In this video I take a look at the Handy Heater Turbo 800. The Handy Heater turbo 800 is the upgraded version of the original 350 watt Handy Heater. Let's see if this compact Heater gets the job done.

After seeing the ad for this on TV I was tempted to buy it, and then I remembered TH-cam and checked to see if anyone reviewed it. Am so glad I did. This saved me time and money. Boy, are we consumers lucky to have a place to go for reviews of products that don't work. I have been in search of the ultimate space heater and as yet haven't found one that completely does the job. My quest continues.
The ‘better business bureau’ should hire people like yourself, even as commissioner, then maybe they’ll wake up and do their job for a change.
Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
This is not how the BBB works. The consumers need to send a complaint. Anyone can do it!
Thank you for reviewing this. My mom saw this on an ad on a recipe site and asked me about it. The add itself linked to a scam site with the heater under a different name but then I eventually found it by its real name at the local store. Thank you for the review. It helps to know if it will work before buying. You saved us time!
Happy to help. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Thanks Jeff for this review, when I plugged it in I immediate smelled a burnt smell and feel that it might be fried so I unplugged and was getting ready to return to Walmart where I bought it from for a refund or replacement.
Great that your review addressed a number of questions, - that it 'supplements' the regular heating system and doesn't replace it. The add says "Efficient Output : Runs for just pennies a day," if it's 100 pennies a day, that's $32 added to your electric bill per month - if it's 300 pennies a day that adds $90 to your monthly electric bill and double all that since it's a "Double Offer" and you may be running two devices in two different rooms. Oil is expensive these days and I was looking for an alternative (even a supplement) but not a unit that burns out in 6 months or that is shoddy and typically has no-integrity in its design or its instructions or even adequate to do the job it's billed as doing. Seems more like snake oil for the unsuspecting. And you gotta really love those "It's FREE - just pay a SEPARATE FEE" deals too - so $29.99 turns into over $50 and with a whopping '60 day money back guarantee' - are they telling us it works for all of two months at least? And it sounds like at the most it won't work for much over three, four or (as we see below) not more than six months. This buyer beware. Too bad it didn't have a better track record and a reputable name (like Ford or Toyota) to ensure any measure of lasting dependable quality.
. . . . . . wants to thank you Jeff. I was just about to order one for my small bathroom, but because of your post, I'll look otherwise. Great post!!!! Many Thanks!!!
Thanks, Jeff, for your review, that was exactly what I needed to guide my decision. Best regards from Colombia.
*_I'm in my third season of using 3 of these Strategically placed in my mobile home that keeps us warm and comfortable without having to turn on the home's electrical heating system. Here in upstate SC, our electricity is Perhaps the most expensive in the country at over 400 a month to heat a small 2-bedroom mobile home. But using three of these in combination with a ventless propane wall heater I'm spending just under 100 a month. I will add that the three Handy Heaters I'm using this year seem to have lost a little capacity and I'm using the propane heater a little more but even so my bills are still under 100 a month using both in combination with each other._*
I just got one and Its plugged into a outlet high off the ground. I put it on at 90 and the temp do increase in about an hour. This Is a drafty back porch so It is working I don't use It when not there. Thankyou.
Nice video, would be useful for cold climates, depending on the energy usage. Thank you for sharing!
I agree. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Always use the unit right side up with the controls on top. The plug swivel is to allow it to adapt to receptacles installed in either orientation
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for this review Jeff. 🤝
Fantastic review. You went to a lot of effort. Thankyou.
Absolutely. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍
Thanks for doing the review. I was going to buy this, but after your review, I'll just keep the small heater that I have. It will make my small bathroom about 100+ degrees.
Happy to help! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍
I have the first version of this heater and haven't used it much but I have it on now. I have that plug extender product too and I have it on a trim board that's part of my room. seems to be working. The room i'm in now once used to be two rooms so I doubt that this little heater will heat it up. My 1500 watt oil filled heater struggles with heating this room up.
I received mine today and it has that is not compatible with any wall plugs in our home. The 3 prong plug is massive , it is for a high voltage appliance.
Hi Jeff I'm from the UK your lucky to have a plug in your bathrooms in the US in the UK we don't have them lol
You got a bad one I just bought one tested it yesterday in my kitchen 64 45 minutes later with heater set at 70 at 45 minutes later it reached 70 degrees and shut off. Now mind you I only ran it set at 70. Not 90. It hit 70 on other side of the room kitchen size 9 by 12 ft. So it lived up to my expectations. Have a good day.
Our's perfectly also!
I just watched the TV ad. I laughed, the plugged it in to the wall next to the fuel cans.
I'm surprised 🙀, the outlet heaters I bought about 4 years ago definitely warmed my room 12x16. The problem is needing to manually turn on & off plus settings. After time that small pressure pushing the settings makes the connection poor then it stops. They need remote controls for sure !
Just opened the box an hour ago. That smell had me turn it off. I am going to try it again. I might just turn on my house heat.
I got mine for $45 CDN I LOVE IT!!! It heats up well and I take it in every room I go into instead of heating the whole house. It does make a loud humming noise. People complain it sounds like an airplane lifting off lol but that’s not my problem 😂 and unfortunately it’s in F and doesn’t have an option for Celsius.
My handy heater turbo 800 displays in celsius. Is there a way to set it to fahrenheit.
What other small plug in heaters do you like ?
In the Netherlands, we can buy similar generic heaters for E 10-15 (Euro is kinda similar to $). 500-1500 W. This model sells for 70.- Stupidity kills, but this is close to a scam. Similar generic heaters are ca. 600 % cheaper, and often more versatile and powerful. I just bought a E 15.- 750-1500 W model because I have solar panels. During the daylight hours I can add some heat to my desk space on a timer, make it more comfortable. Effective or not, at least it uses up the extra energy generated. Cheap timers allow 3500 W, so safety is no issue.
Is your vent for the ac in the ceiling or floor and did you block the vent?
Thanks for saving me money.

I just got mine plugged in it worked great that night but plugged it in that morning & it did notwork! The kiosk worked but the heater itself didnt come on. Im disappointed it wont work!
Comparing to the first original version, which one is louder?
Too close to the wall may overheat and burn the drywall behind it?
I bought this for my Dad dec2023, works well but it has been turning on by itself , I know there’s not a temp setting for it to go ON. I literally woke up and was in the room it was plugged into and it went on all by itself not sure why
Is heatwell or this one recommended.. I need for small motorhome..
Would try it but I didn't get it yet and try it in my bed room
I think that the Handy Heater is made by the same company as the Arctic Air. Only difference is that the Arctic Air is sold duriing the hot months like July and August while Handy Heater is sold during the cold months like January and February. Now would this Handy Heater be able to warm a room that was 40 degrees farenheight?
Thanks for the video-Seems like this heater is a glorified hair dryer. I was thinking of buying it for a bathroom but not anymore.
Lol...especially since the directions tell you not to use it in the bathroom. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I would love to see it plugged into a watt meter.
I have a 1500 W heater that works correctly, but it's 1m high and weighs 15 kg.
And it actually draws 1500W
800 Watts of power, has in limitations. Especially when considering, that the calculation used when calculating the heat requirements of a living floor area is 64 watts per m2. This little heater will have it's work cut-out, trying to heat a room with a living floor area of 12 - m2. (Twelve square meters) or ca. 10 by 10 foot. Also the room's insulation quality has an impact on the heating ability of a heating unit. Done buy a pint in a half pint pot!!
Can you do a review on the heatwell portable heater
How do you change it to Celsius
So how many square feet was the larger room
Stopped putting out heat, after 6 months, worked great all winter for heating my small bathroom. As far as the distance from the heater, even after running for a long time the sides and back were still cool, heat only came out the front. Now it still blows air, everything still lights up, even the front where the heat comes out ,lights up red, but no heat comes out. I loved this heater, but really disappointed, now that it stopped working.
Just a note the old heater I used in my bathroom had a long cord and was in the way all the time, this one took up no room and is much safer than my other heater. if it worked of course.
I've heard more and more of these heaters no longer putting out heat. Thanks for sharing.
@@Jeffreviews4u It was strange, I turned the heater on to warm the bathroom for a shower, when I turned it on it was putting great heat, but when I returned for the shower, it was colder in there than the rest of the house and it was blowing cold air, no heat at all. Banged it on the counter a couple time and it started to heat again, but then back to cold air. Now I am back to my oil filled heater with the long cord.
Sounds like it is working properly. Just running the hot water in shower will heat a room so the heater shut off so it reached temperature. Either that or the humidity tricked the temperature sensor and caused it to shut off.
I bought 2 of them. They both make clicking sounds periodically. The heat is not consistent. It's like it gets hot then warm then hot etc. Yours do that?
That is the ceramic heating element heating up and shutting off. It is normal at higher temperature settings. Put it at lower settings it won't click as much.
The expression on his face already reveals the truth.
As a worker for Walmart, I saw this exact item, and knowing Walmarts reputation, I had to check.
Needless to say, you didn't disappoint. And hope you got a refund for that trash.
Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I was looking up this heater decided to watch your video on it was wondering how good it was? I found out my local Ace Hardware has it for 29.00. I was thinking of checking on getting me one for my bedroom. Do you think it would do ok for a bedroom?
It does enough to take some of dampness out and takes the edge off coldness.
@@normt430 do u think it's worth getting
Looks like it’s designed to be facing upward or downward. And you need to push to change direction.
Does it have a tip over switch.
No, this plugs directly in the outlet and hangs on the wall. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Ok so i sit in my car w blo dryer trying to melt snow off car..so glad i got wifi.
What's up Jeff like the heater but not for me, hope all is good and keep the beer close stay safe
Lol. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Your bathroom outlets are installed correctly - The ground is supposed to be ABOVE the hot wire in case water should drip down the inside of a wall. Most American outlets are installed upside down.
Mine only goes 32 degrees how can I raise mine up
Are you in Celsius? That would be about 90° Fahrenheit. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂 👍
I wonder how much electricity it uses. $$$$ ? Doesnt seem like 800 w is much. I have bigger hot air ones that are 1500 and they dont do much to heat a room in winter.
I'm not sure on the electricity consumption but you're right, these little heaters are meant to supplement room heat and not be the primary heat source. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Just buy a normal size space heater if you want to heat an average size room. There's a sucker born every minute. It might work if you want to heat a closet. Most of that seen of TV stuff is junk.
My heater read CC as I was turning the temp down. Why?
Cooler/CC
If you tap power button after powering it up you enter CC Mode. It supposedly bypasses timer and thermostat.
After 3 months of normal use, the fan is not blowing the heating elements. Fan failure.
I've heard from a few people that this happened to them as well...no good. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
The front of the heater is restricted by that brown glass bottle
Heat rises too. So if the other rooms are drafty the heat will escape while cool are returns on the floor.
That’s bro I’m in rite thinking about buying it but nvm😂😂😂
mine has started fanning cold after I used it for about 10 hours.
Mine does that when it reaches the set temperature. It heats back up once the temperature drops...possibly this is way is happening with you. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂 👍
@@Jeffreviews4u hope so. dropping to 26 degrees. my rooms aren't good for the cold.
@@Jeffreviews4u no change.
@ghostface4404 that stinks. Sounds like yours broke. Hopefully you can exchange it or get a refund.
@@Jeffreviews4u yup.
Cool channel 777
Thanks for the kind words! 😃 👍
@@Jeffreviews4u for sure bro Happy Holidays be good and keep dropping the thought provoking insightful × intelligent content 🎅 😆 👌 🙌 777
They don't work a red light.
I want to know why they do not work.
The only way this will heat a room , when it catches fire and burns your house down.,get a heater that is UL approved,
the only thing i can see will increase is my util bill by probably by a .25% or more.
Lol. It will increase that's for sure. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
It makes 800w of heat but only draws 250-350w. It cycles thr heating element so it is not on constantly. Figure burning three incandescent lights occasionally. Would you see that in your electric bill?
How much money will cost you a day to run this toy
Like cycling on/off three incandescent lights. You won't even see it in your bill.
This will triple your Electric bill, or even more, good if you take to your office, , where you don't have to pay for the Electric bill, and the advertisement on TV says Pennies per day, so $20.00 US dollars = 20,000 Pennies
Mine is blowing cold air😪
Raise the temperature!
A fart would heat up a bedroom better than that. Preferably, a guest bedroom.
Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
Thanks 👍🏽
I will not be purchasing this...
I need something effective.
Everyone that remembers Physics from school (Thermodynamics) , would know that, just by looking at it! SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! (But thank you for showing us.)
Who would want to heat a room up to 90°?
Lol..agreed. then again I'm not sure the room will ever get that high with this heater. Ha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I WANT TO BUY THIS PRODUCT, BUT SOUNDS LIKE ITS NOT WORTH IT. I WANTCTO PUT IT IN A SMALL BEDROOM.
Why did you run it at 70 how come you didn't turn it to Max Heat at 90 that doesn't make no sense
I think what you're looking for is at the 9:00 minute mark. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
I would like to see the electrical bill and I hope you got plenty of Kleenex for all the bloody noses
Please too close to heater maybe it will be work😢
I just saw a commercial for this. What kind of idiot has 2 gas cans in their basement????
Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂 👍
Lmao power bill goes up and house burns down with false instructions all for 29.99 ahahaha 😂
It has been tested to cycle on to around 300w. Only fan consumption when heating element is not being heated.
You are NOT over 170C
This is clearly not going to work.
Am not the complaining type. But I had a bad experience with this product. I bought 2 with a discount and it came from a Chinese company Equiwarm. Great promises but it takes a hour to get my room temperate up with on degree. It promised to do that in around 10 minutes. I wanted to my money back but they said you have to pay all the transport costs to China yourself. Whilst they also advertised that it wasn't any problem to get your money back if it wasn't functioning as promised. Please don't buy this....
As seen on TV avoid anything from this type all scams
I believe this one you have is a dud. Return and get another one. It's a waste of $ all around. I don't recommend.
His must be a dud or a drafty rooms as heat rises. It was worth thr money for our back room with two 6-foot long windows.
arnaque à vs de voir
Commercials are like politicians....they Lie
So it's rubbish, good know
Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂 👍
私が買った物は電源が入らない不良品でゴミでした。買う事をお勧めしません😢
Sorry to hear that - very frustrating. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
Those are garbage heaters. A hairdryer would heat a room better than that piece of junk
Sure, it'll heat up the "room" if you live in a 1x1x1 box. Lol. Don't waste your money on this junk.
the fan bearing went out after 2 weeks
i save the money in not buying this i should send you the $30
Lol. Glad I could help. This one was a good idea but didn't work out that well. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
The ad really made it seem like the whole room would be engulfed in heat within minutes. Very deceptive advertising -- obviously.@@Jeffreviews4u
