Duraflame PowerHeat Review | Mirage Infrared Heaters
|
As you'll see in this Duraflame PowerHeat review, and in the unit's comparison to the Comfort Furnace, many infrared heaters offer features and benefits that are almost the same...
Almost.
Take for instance the fact that the Duraflame Powerheat and the Comfort Furnace both use quartz infrared heating technology. But, the PowerHeat only has a BTU rating of 5200, while the Comfort Furnace tops that with a 5600 BTU rating. This rating, measured in British Thermal Units, is a measurement of heat output - the primary job of a portable infrared heater. |

Additionally, the Comfort Furnace and Duraflame both offer remote controls, but the remote of the Comfort Furnace is far superior, with a digital display, auto-sync capabilities and additional features.
In fact, there may be more differences than similarities. The Comfort Furnace UV offers ultraviolet air purification, temperature sync technology, a delayed start function, and more - which the Duraflame PowerHeat does not offer.
As you'll see in the comparison chart below, and from the preceding Duraflame PowerHeat review, we believe that this unit simply can't stack up to Comfort Furnace Infrared Heaters.

FACT:
In life, you usually get what you pay for. And with infrared heaters, nothing could be more true.
The quality of an infrared heater’s technology, craftsmanship and materials has a direct influence on how much you will save in heating costs...
And for how long you will save money.
Option 1:
You could buy a cheap unit, which will last for a couple seasons...maybe. The warranty on those models is usually only valid for one year, which tells you something.
The Better Option:
Choose a quality infrared heater that offers up to 5 years of bumper-to-bumper coverage, lifetime bulb replacement...And is designed & built to last for 20 years!
The Better Option is
Comfort Furnace
