The new 2012 GEN4 was designed and engineered in the USA with several patented breakthroughs to save you money on your heating bill. These patented breakthroughs make the 2011 EdenPURE GEN4 Bob Vila's #1 portable heating source for North America. US engineers combined specially designed Sylvania Infrared Bulbs with the existing EdenPURE copper heating chambers for more efficient heating in EdenPURE's portable heater. Sylvania is the world-wide leader in electric bulb development and innovation. Next, our engineers redesigned how the air flows around our IR bulbs and copper heating chambers. Their new design resulted in amplified heating performance. The designers at EdenPURE call this their "EdenFlow" Direct Air technology.
The GEN4 can be run on Auto mode. If the mode is set to Auto the unit will cycle on and off to maintain the desired temperature setting. It is also equipped with a HIGH mode, if the mode is set to High the unit will stay on Full power at the highest heat setting and keep heating. It will not cycle off on High mode.When the GEN4 is set on the Auto mode and cycling off and on, it has been equipped with an Energy Savings feature. The unit will run on full power until it gets to within 2 degrees of the desired temperature. At this point it will automatically go into an energy savings mode which shuts down 1 of the heating elements and lowers the fan speed. Not only will this save energy, it also keeps the room temperature closer to the desired temperature. If the room temperature should fall below 2 degrees the unit will return to the full power mode until the desired temperature is reached again.
