Popular models of Polaris heaters: types, technical characteristics and reviews

The weather in Russia is unstable, so many people resort to using special equipment to heat indoor air. Today, the market for thermal installations is oversaturated; there are all kinds of devices for different tastes, colors, and most importantly, wallets. In this regard, Polaris is the best fit as a permanent, reliable friend and partner. Equipment designed to heat a room in the house is inexpensive, but is of excellent quality and functionality.

About the manufacturer

Polaris is the largest international manufacturer of household appliances. It includes the production of not only thermal climate equipment, but also devices for the kitchen, home, beauty and health, sports, and so on. But despite the fact that the range of the company’s models is large, Polaris manages to cope equally well with the production of thermal equipment. The company has been on the market since 1995.

This is a Korean company, which later became the largest supplier of household appliances in Europe and Asian countries.

Today, the organization's sphere of influence has spread to Russia, the United States, and even Australia. Russia is one of the largest buyers. And on the territory of our country there are several production facilities, the products from which immediately go to the market.

There are 250 service centers across Russia.

18 years on the market were not in vain for the company. Year after year, it increases its momentum, offering more and more new models, because the best engineers and technologists work on the staff of this organization. All the efforts of the organization’s leaders were not in vain, and today you can enjoy the quality and excellent appearance of Polaris products.

Reviews of Polaris heaters: pros and cons

Having existed for 18 years on the Russian market, Polaris has become popular among Russian buyers. When purchasing products, customers leave reviews online. Most of them, of course, are positive. But there are also some negative reviews that the company thinks about and takes action to eliminate shortcomings and shortcomings.

Let's start with the positive qualities:

  • All Polaris devices are inexpensive, accessible to people with average incomes.
  • Functional, meet all declared characteristics.
  • Designers work on the appearance, so the company’s devices will not spoil your interior.
  • There are several different types of devices of the same type, which means you can choose the best one for you.
  • The website contains instructions that will help you understand the operating principle of the device.

All these advantages become reasons for making a purchase. But there are some downsides, because the company can also make mistakes during the production process.

  • One significant disadvantage is the short warranty period. People believe that a warranty is a way to protect themselves from a defective purchase. Polaris is reducing the warranty period due to the fact that there are a huge number of service centers in Russia, and there is no need to waste time waiting for a long time or sending the device for repair.
  • Lack of a well-designed online store. It just so happens that the full range of Polaris is presented only in chain stores. And not every locality has something like this. Therefore, people prefer to order equipment online. But the Polaris website cannot be called the most convenient. Sometimes, an ignorant person gets lost in this variety of goods, buys the wrong thing or leaves with nothing. Therefore, people purchase devices from third-party sites and resources, overpaying per unit.

A few more words need to be said about Polaris convectors. These are truly very functional and stylish devices. However, all buyers vying with each other note one single, but significant minus in them. Unfortunately, compared to other manufacturers, Polaris convectors create noise. Therefore, there is no question of installing such a device in a room where there is a small child.

The company promises to deal with this unpleasant disadvantage in the near future and do everything to ensure that customers feel comfortable when purchasing.

Polaris micathermic heater – features, designs, reviews

Pay attention to the new products - micathermic heaters from the Polaris company. What kind of devices are these? This name is inherited from the manufacturing technology of the heated panel - Mica-Thermic. The plate is covered on top with mica, under which there is a layer of oxides of various metals. But the result obtained is a special release of heat. Let’s take a closer look at the operating principle and design, the advantages and disadvantages of this heater, and listen to the reviews of those who have already encountered “this miracle”...

Design of a micathermic heater

Polaris micathermic heaters are based on one or more radiating plates. They are made of nickel and coated on top with oxides of iron, tin and zinc. And on top there is another layer - mica - a mountain mineral that contains almost half of the periodic table. Why such difficulties and how do they affect the price?

This whole cake heats up when an electric current passes through it, and the mica heats up to 200 degrees and generates infrared radiation.

How does a micathermic heater work?

Those. in essence, we have an infrared heater with all its advantages and disadvantages, but in the Mikathermic-Polaris heater it is not hot tubes that emit radiation, but a flat plate of a special design.

Polaris - micathermic heater

This radiating element is enclosed in a housing on wheels, the whole thing is quite light (3 kg - 4 kg) and movable. Cheaper models radiate only in one direction and can be hung on a wall, but other varieties can heat in both directions.

Special Polaris heater

80% of the energy comes in the infrared range through the side panel covered with a grille. 20% of the heat is spent on ordinary convection heating of air from the heated plates, which flows from the device through the upper grille.

What does this design provide, is it good or bad?

Air exits through the top grille of the heater

  • The power is adjusted in steps - 1.5 or 2.0 kW. Power supply from AC 220V.
  • The heater contains a thermostat with smooth adjustment.
  • There is tip-over protection; when tilted, the device turns off to prevent the floor from overheating.

Adjusting the power on the heater

Features of the operation of micathermic heaters

Infrared heating differs in that it heats only dense objects that absorb radiation energy, from which the air subsequently heats up.

If you find yourself near the device in a cold room, you will immediately feel the heat emanating from it, and you will warm up despite the cold air. Even “fry” if you get close.

This is good when you need to quickly warm up in a cold room. This is the main advantage of infrared emitters. But there are also disadvantages here.

  • There is no complete feeling of comfort until the air warms up. And it remains cold for a long time (several hours)…
  • Objects located near the device may overheat; it is not recommended to be closer than 0.5 meters. At the same time, already at a distance of 2 - 4 meters, the dissipation of energy is such that objects heat up weakly. Such selectivity, literally point heating, is also not convenient.

Heating with micathermic plates
The hand touched the protective grille - no big deal. But if you hold it for more than 3 seconds you will get a burn...

Price for micathermic heaters

Compared to other types of heaters, this one (micathermic) has a higher price - 70 - 90 USD. for Polaris models. European competitor DeLonghi has even higher numbers. The following is data on how many times this type of heater is more expensive than conventional models.

  • Oil heaters and convectors – 1.5 times.
  • Ceramic tubes and fan heaters - 4 - 5 times.

Are such costs justified, what do users say?

Black micathermic heater
The De'Longhi heater is more expensive, but made in Europe...

Watch a short video about the operation of the Polaris heater - it really begins to heat dense objects nearby after just a minute of operation - until the nickel plates warm up to the required temperature.

Reviews of the Polaris heater, pros and cons

If you carefully read the reviews about this type of heaters and specifically about the Polaris company, you can find out the following.

  • Polaris is an Israeli electrical company with production facilities located in China. On average, it is positioned as a well-known manufacturer with budget and average quality products. There are no reviews about obvious defects or technical imperfections.

With Polaris micathermic heaters, in addition to the usual disadvantages of infrared heating (one-sided strong heating), users also note this.

  • The design feature of this type of heater is that dust freely penetrates through the grille onto the heating elements. After switching on, it burns out for the first 15 minutes, creating a characteristic odor.
  • In addition, dust accumulates inside the device and users begin to think about how to actually remove it painlessly for the device, and a solution has not yet been found...
  • There have also been cases where, when a new device is turned on for the first time, smoke comes out of the plates for some time - something extra was left at the factory...

Conventional micathermic heater

Let's compare the Polaris micathermic heater with other types of devices

But with all this, a lightweight, quickly movable device, the Polaris micathermic heater, with its two kilowatts of electrical power can very quickly, using direct radiation, heat up the desired part of the room, some object, or warm up a person located in the radiation zone. And this is its direct advantage.

If we compare the consumer qualities with a conventional convector, with long-term work to heat the room to comfortable conditions, then both will take a lot of time, usually at least 4 hours of work.

Heating by convector and radiator

But convectors create air movement, raising a dust flow, but this is not the case with a micathermic heater - one zone will heat up quickly, and the far corners will heat up from the air after a long period of time.

For a 1.5 kW heater of any design and method of energy transfer, the optimal heated area cannot exceed 25 m2, with good insulation, otherwise the device will not cope...

Horror stories, advertisements and speculation

  • Polaris, due to direct radiation, has 2 times higher efficiency (30% less, 45% more...). As you know, the efficiency of any device that converts electricity into thermal energy is high - about 98%, regardless of its design...
  • Open plates burn oxygen, making it impossible to breathe. They may burn a little, dust burns on them, but this will not reduce the percentage of oxygen in the room, so do not rush to suffocate.
  • The Polaris device does not dry out the air (it does dry it out very much). Heaters do not dry air at all. In winter, it is dry on its own; when the temperature in the room rises, this becomes noticeable, and the humidity begins to intensively escape into the street through the structures - any heating devices are to blame...

Let's watch a better review video about the Polaris micathermic heater and think about whether you need to spend an additional 33% of money on it or just buy an oil pan...
