<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: The Pitch Is Appealing
Anything that promises to reduce your heating bill by up to 50 percent and assure that you're never cold again is worth consideration, and EdenPure's models GEN3 1000 and GEN3 500 space heaters are advertised as being able to do just that. Paul Harvey once raved about the space heaters on his radio program, and many consumers have written glowing reviews.
On the Other: Consumer Reports Pans Them
Consumer Reports has very little in the way of positive feedback for EdenPure's space heaters (as of 2009), giving the GEN3 1000 average or low marks in every single category and an overall score lower than any other space heater tested. The report also points out that the GEN3 1000 is priced at $400--more than 10 times what you could pay for space heaters they say are more efficient and effective.
Bottom Line
Considering the relatively high price and shaky results from Consumer Reports, it's hard to imagine buying EdenPure's top-of-the-line GEN3 1000. The fact that the GEN3 500 is just a smaller version of the 1000 and still costs about $300 doesn't bode well for it, either.
