Presto HeatDish Parabolic Heater
Unlike room heaters, the Presto Heat Dish parabolic electric heater focuses heat directly at you so that although the heat is several times higher, it uses only two-thirds of the energy. No need to heat the whole room when you only need to warm yourself! No need to heat the whole house just for one person! Now you can work in a cold workshop or garage without wasting heat and energy.

Presto HeatDish with Footlight
How the Presto Heat Dish Works
- Heat is produced from a wire element and focused using a parabolic reflector. A thermostatic control adjusts the cycling of the heating element to maintain temperature. With a cooler room, the heating element will be on more often in order to keep the temperature higher. A footlight indicates that the heater is on; it will remain illuminated even if the thermostatic control is set to the off position.

Presto Heat Dish Reviews
What Amazon Customers Say about the Presto Heat Dish...
- "Adds a nice amount of heat to a specific area; if you are in a room typing or something and it's cold, it will allow you to hang out there for a while. It won't heat up an entire room. However, it will heat up a single person in that room pretty well. It is very directed heat; it's not even really a space heater. There's also not really a particularly comfortable setting; you'll end up turning it up and down a lot but it responds pretty quickly.
It also will attract all of your cats who will sit in front of it regardless of how intense the heat appears to be. They will potentially fight each other to secure a seat in front of it. They will become used to the noise it makes when it is plugged in and will run across your 2500 sq. ft. house when you plug it in to try to be first in line to get that seat."

"I work from home and sit at my desk for much of the day. My hands especially get cold if we keep the thermostat where my husband likes it (too cold for me!).
I like to use this heater at my side so that the area around my desk, especially underneath, stays toasty warm. This keeps my entire office warm at the low setting.
It runs quietly and has a tip over alarm. If it is turned on and gets knocked at all, even slightly tipped, it makes a loud alarm sound. Great for cases when a dog or child might knock it over by mistake.
The footlight is good and acts as a reminder that it is turned on and the large grill on the front keeps all heat elements clear from touching anything.
Although I haven't done the research to see if it has saved us money, it must in the long run. The thermostat for the part of our house with my office is in my office. So if my office is warm, the furnace will not come on and I'm not running the furnace for the rest of the house.
I've had other space heaters in the past but this one is the quietest and gives the most uniform heat quickly."
