We are used to the Alarmists gaily ignoring physics in favour of their own "climate science", but now a new breed of physics deniers are abroad, trying to con people into paying well over the odds for ordinary blow heaters.
It warms 10x faster than traditional heaters
That just means it is 10x more powerful.
It barelly (sic) affects your energy bill
All direct heaters are almost 100% efficient, whether they be gas or electric. There is nowhere else for the energy to go, except as heat. The First Law of Thermodynamics states that "Energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed.", so it doesn't matter how whizzy or high-tech your electric heater is, it will still use the same amount of energy to raise your room from, say, 16C to, say, 20C and cost you just as much.
However, the resistance in the wires that feed your socket into which you have plugged the Eco-heat heater causes the wires to heat up, lowering the efficiency of the heater. The formula to calculate this loss is W = i^2R, where W is the heat loss, i is the current and R is the resistance of the wires. This means that, although the energy loss is small, it is proportional to the square of the current. If your heater is 10x more powerful than a normal heater, then, for a fixed voltage (for those of us who do not have access to 3-phase electricity), then your current will be 10x greater and hence your losses will be 100x greater, rendering the Eco-heat less efficient than the old blow heater that you have stuffed in a cupboard somewhere.
