　A panel heater is a heater that does not emit warm air (using radiant heat).It is a heater that warms the air from a large panel in the main unit, warms the air, and warms the room slowly in the room.

　So, this far infrared panel heater "PH-MJ1200" is the atmosphere that "it takes a little time but the whole room warms up with a natural feeling".It's exactly how the panel heater warms up.Even if the power is turned on with "Ah cold cold", it doesn't feel like it gets warm immediately.If you use it for about 1-2 hours, it is a heating utensil that will make the room calm, "It's no longer cold."

　In addition, because of the far -infrared rays, it can be "approaching the body and warm" if it is near the front of the main unit.If you hold your hand in the range of about 30cm in front of the main unit, you will feel like "warm ~".By the way, the temperature of the front mesh panel only rises to the extent that it can be touched with bare hands even during operation.

遠赤外線パネルヒーター「PH-MJ1200」のサイズは、670×210×500mm(幅×奥行き×高さ)、重量は約7.5Kg。消費電力は1,200W(強運転時)もしくは600W(弱運転時)その背面。下部に対流を促すためと思われるスリットがある程度で、スッキリしている。上部には持ち運び用のハンドルがあり、持ち運びも容易だ2本のパイプ脚で自立する。脚は組み立て式で、工具を使わずとも本体に装着可能。脚を外した本体の厚みは10cm程度。シーズンオフの収納性も高い設置には、横に30cm以上、上と前に1m以上の空間が必要。背面は熱くならないので家具などに近づけて設置することができる稼働時は上部のスリットから暖気が立ちのぼる。かなり熱い暖気が出るので、この部分にタオルなどをかけたりするのは厳禁稼働時に前面メッシュパネルに触れても「熱い」という感じではなく「暖かい」という感じだ。前方30cm程度なら暖を取れる

　The function is very simple, can switch driving to strong and weak, to some extent that there is a thermostat function that allows you to set the entrance/cut timer and the target room temperature (as a guide).The "PH-MJ1200" has a very refreshing appearance, but it is also functionally refreshing.

本体前面右側に操作ボタン類が並ぶ。操作部はここにあるもののみ簡易的な表示とともに運転の強弱や目標室温、タイマーを設定可能

　The basic usage is to set the power supply on / off (press and hold the power button), switch the power, and press " +" and press " -" in the operating part on the right side of the main unit.The target room temperature is a guide, and it is an image of raising and lowering several times when you think "a little too warm" or "a little cold".At the set room temperature, the heat dissipation from the "PH-MJ1200" stops.

　The entrance/cut timer is a timer function to automatically turn on and off the "PH-MJ1200".For details of the function, please see page 9 of the instructions (PDF), but with the cut timer, you can set "automatically turn off" in the range of 1 to 8 hours, and in the entrance timer within 1 to 24 hours."Automatically power -on" can be set.

　In addition, the entrance/cut timer can be used together.For example, if the cut timer is set for 3 hours, and the entry timer is set to 8 hours at the same time, "heating is automatically stopped 3 hours later, and after 5 hours (8 hours from the present), it is driven.Start. Also, after two hours after the automatic power supply is turned on, the heating stops driving automatically (forgetting to cut).

　Personally, it felt good to use it with this timer function as a heating from bedtime to getting up.Use in the bedroom, warm the bedroom for several hours before going to bed, stop driving when you go to bed, start driving again when you get up, so that the morning cold is relieved.

　Well, if you can use a timer, you can do this kind of thing itself.However, "PH-MJ1200" is a panel heater as described above, and is a "windless heating device that works softly."Compared to the type of heating utensils such as air conditioners, dust is not standing and the sound is silent.Because the temperature does not rise too much, it feels like it has prevented too much dryness.

　Actually, I tried using the timer from night to morning in a bedroom of about 8 tatami mats, but from lying down to sleeping, the heat was driving and the cold was softened, and the heating was operating when it woke up.So the awakening is comfortable.It was quiet and the temperature was safe, so I felt it was practical as a heating when waking up.

　By the way, the only part that gets hot while driving is around the upper part of the main unit.Even if it is hot, it can be touched for a few seconds.I don't feel much dangers like unexpected burns, so I think it fits the rooms spent by the elderly and infants.

　However, as described above, it is not an immediate heating device that can be warmly heated when the power is turned on.Therefore, in reality, it may be that there are many cases where the warm-out type of heating utensils that warmly warm up and the panel heater "PH-MJ1200" are used together.

　As an aside, I thought, "Oh, this panel heater is good. It's cheap.However, it is useless to put it under the desk.This is because it should be used in a place where there is a 1m space above the body.

　It's a panel heater that is too high power to put it under the desk."PH-MJ1200" The slightly warm, quietness, and safety are attractive, so I personally want a table lower-foot-footed panel heater that is not as high as "PH-MJ1200", so I thought about it.It is.
