Test result preview
The Könighaus infrared heater is a modern and efficient heating solution that is characterised by its simple design and high functionality. With its white frame, it blends discreetly into any room and ensures pleasant heat distribution.
The model is TÜV SÜD certified and comes with a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee, which speaks in favour of its durability and reliability. A special feature is the overheating protection, which provides additional safety. The infrared heater is also maintenance-free and therefore particularly user-friendly.
With an output of 600 watts, the heater is ideal for rooms of 8 to 16 square metres. Thanks to the infrared technology, the heat is emitted directly to the objects in the room, which enables efficient and even heating. This is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers, as there is no air circulation and therefore less dust is stirred up.
A thermostat is included in the scope of delivery, which can be used to precisely control the room temperature. This not only increases comfort, but also helps to save energy. The heater is quick and easy to install and the necessary installation material is also included.
Advantages
- Convenient and flexible control
- Reaches the target temperature quickly
- Overheating protection
Disadvantages
- The thermostat display is only easy to read at eye level

*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.3 stars. In some cases, the fact that the desired room temperature is not reached is criticised. On the other hand, the elegant and functional design as well as the precise and simple control are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the elegant and functional design of the heater is well received by customers. The thermostat and app are also very easy to use. We do not share consumers’ criticism of the lack of heating power.
Prices of up to €259.00 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very favourable products are available from as little as € 105.85 . The Könighaus heater is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of 134.99 €. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
