When I saw an online ad promising I could “slash heating bills by 80%” and warm my whole room in under a minute with the HoneyWarm Heater, I thought it was worth a test. My old space heater was energy-hungry and slow, so I ordered this one with hope … and ended up disappointed.
What Is the HoneyWarm Heater?
HoneyWarm Heater is marketed as a compact, high-efficiency plug-in heater, claimed to heat whole rooms rapidly while using minimal energy. The website promotes flashy savings and “instant warmth.” It’s typically priced around $49–$59 USD for a single unit.
Why I Tried It
I needed a better heater for my living room… large enough to warm a 12×14 foot space efficiently. My old heater was noisy, slow, and seemed to run all night. If HoneyWarm could deliver decent heat with lower power usage, it would be a winner.
My Experience Using It
Out of the box, the unit looked decent, compact, sleek outer shell, and required little setup. First evening: I placed it near the couch and switched it on. After 20 minutes, the air around the device felt slightly warmer, but the rest of the room stayed cool. I ended up using the old heater anyway.
Over the next week, I kept trying different settings. On “High,” it warmed a small area (about 2-3 ft radius); on “Low,” I could barely feel any heat unless sitting right in front. The fan was audible, and the housing got warm, not ideal for a “premium” feel.
By week two I checked my power use: the device drew similar wattage to my old personal heater, not the breakthrough savings I was promised. Also, when I tried leaving it overnight, the temperature drop in the room overnight was nearly identical to using a cheaper model.
I also discovered that the website behind HoneyWarm has been flagged by independent reviewers as extremely low-trust (TrustScore ~22/100) and possibly linked to drop-shipped rebranded units. Many user complaints refer to delayed shipping, weak heat, and refund issues.
In short: yes, it works as a heater, especially if you’re sitting very close to it, but the broad claims of performance, savings and whole-room warmth seem overstated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Compact, modern look fits well in living spaces.
- Easy to plug in and use without complex setup.
- Good if you just want personal warmth near your seat.
Cons
- Very limited heating area, small radius only.
- Energy savings and whole-room heating claims don’t match reality.
- Builds up warmth only slowly; no “instant warmth” as marketed.
- Company/brand trust issues: website domain age short, trust-rating low.
- Fan noise and casing warmth detract from “premium” feel.
Durability Concerns
The heater’s casing felt like standard plastic… not particularly sturdy. The front grille emitted warm air admirably when close, but once you stepped back a few feet, the effect dropped off. The fan noise was noticeable when placed near a seating area late at night. No odd smells out of the box, which is good.
Product Claims vs. Reality
Claim: “Instant whole-room warmth in under a minute.”
Reality: Only a small area warmed noticeably, and “under a minute” was not accurate in my experience.
Claim: “Cut heating costs by up to 80%.”
Reality: Wattage usage was similar to my old heater when comparing hold time. Savings, if any, were negligible.
Claim: “Trusted and safe product.”
Reality: The domain has an extremely low trust score (~22/100) and many independent reviews flag it as possibly drop-shipped.
Is It a Scam?
No, it’s not necessarily a complete scam… you will get a heater, and it does produce heat. But yes, it is misleading. The marketing dramatically oversells what the device can realistically do. Combined with low trust ratings, vague specs, and exaggerated claims, I’d treat this one with caution.
Ingredient/Material Breakdown
- Standard plastic housing and internal fan.
- Heating element (likely ceramic or PTC) drawing ~400-800 watts (independent sources estimate) not the claimed ultra-low energy.
- Basic controls; few safety certifications clearly visible.
- Very little transparency from the brand about model specs or testing.
Where to Buy & Price Point
- Official site (honeywarm.com): advertised ~$49–$59 USD.
- Independent trust-rating sites flag the domain as high risk (TrustScore ~22/100).
- Discounts and countdown timers on site suggest bundle/upsell tactics common in drop-ship marketing.
For the price, the performance falls short of value.
How to Use
- Place the heater on a flat, stable surface with at least 3 ft clearance.
- Plug into a properly rated outlet (ensure wattage matches region).
- Use on “High” setting initially to warm your immediate area, then switch to “Low” to maintain.
- Stay within a few feet of the device for noticeable warmth.
- Monitor power usage and room-temperature change; if no improvement seen, consider alternative device.
Alternatives to Consider
- Honeywell Slim Ceramic Tower Heater HCE317B
- Honeywell UberHeat 5 Ceramic Heater
- Honeywell 360 Surround Space Heater
Conclusion — Would I Recommend It?
If you’re in a pinch and need a cheap personal heater just to keep your feet warm while sitting close, then yes, it might suffice. But if you bought it believing you’d get whole-room warmth, major energy savings, or premium performance, you’re very likely to be disappointed. For the price and based on my experience, you’d get better value going with a trusted brand with proven specs.
Would I buy it again? Probably not—I’d invest in a well-reviewed heater that delivers on performance and has strong user feedback.
