Dissuaded the buyer from taking a micathermic heater for a summer residence: I tell you why
The other day I was standing in a shopping center, waiting for my wife to finish shopping and finally leave the store. As fate would have it, I was standing in front of the exit of a very famous red electronics store that sells everything from televisions to heaters.
Actually, one lucky owner of a device with a loud name "micathermic convector"I managed to catch it out. Only now he was happy exactly before a serious conversation with me, the foreman.
- And how much is opium for the people today? - I began a conversation, blocking the exit from the store for a young man with pink cheeks.
- FIVE PIZOT - on the run through a smile the young man gave out, just in case, thrusting his heater deeper into his armpit.
- I would not recommend... - on the verge of indifference and with a share of efficiency, I answered, pausing and looking at my nails.
The boy stopped... Bitten, you need to hook - I thought.
- Why?- the face of the young man stretches out ...
And then I take the box from the hands of the young man and begin to destroy the legends that construction marketers have been drawing hard on the box:
- Promise that The efficiency is 100%.
You are my dear friend, you plug it into an outlet, which means that how many kilowatts of electricity you take from there, you will receive the same amount in the form of heat. Less cost of wire and plate resistance.
2. They say silent work.
Apart from the characteristic crackling sound, ordinary oil radiators do not emit any sounds. So why overpay?
3. Does not burn air.
In general, it's absurd: when heating the heating element, oxygen is not consumed, which means that there is nothing to burn the air in the room.
4. Light weight.
It killed me altogether. I keep on myself 3-4 kilograms of a heater, which will give 500 watts of heat. It would also be heavy. Even a 0.5 kW oil cooler will be light!
Needless to say, the guy went and returned the heater back and bought an oil heater. 800 rubles cheaper. And then my wife came up, with a sense of accomplishment I ran on.
Moral of the story.
Do not trust navyaschie people whose job is to sell you anything. Open a forumhouse or (as a last resort) a physics textbook and draw your conclusions.
