I have an HR24 that gets pretty hot. A DirectTV rep told me that the new HR44 doesnt have a fan and doesnt get as hot as the HR24. Is this true?

Not sure about the fan but the HR44 does run cooler because they moved the power supply out of the box to a brick on the power cord.

The Hr-44 Clients are designed to run cooler, but that's not the reason why it runs cooler. Its the new way the HR-44 dissipate heat there is no need for a fan. The HR-44 use newer technology allowing it to run faster than HR-24 while consuming less heat. Also The power supply is outside instead of inside like in the old receivers causing less heat consumption. With all that being said, I went to touch my Hr44 that I've had for a year now that had been running for 5+ hours and can concur that is nowhere near as hot as my HR24 in my living room.

It appears to me that the HDR565 model does not have a bun warmer. Aside from that the only other difference is the design. I think the RHD800 looks a lot nicer. Hope this helps.

Honestly, I do not suggest you buy this model. Maybe I just got a bad one, but it didn't work and I returned it. I suggest you try one made by Revlon. They all blow hot air, but with less force than a blow dryer. The barrel does get hot, be careful if you hold your hair around it. I actually love the hot air brush as opposed to a curling iron, it's gentler on your ends, but the result is more subtle and doesn't last as long as a curling iron. It works best if you use it on damp, not wet hair I hope this helps.

I still have my old one (7 years old) and it's still working great. Just ordered another for backup or another room. First one, only paid $9 for it. I try too keep the blades oiled or silicone sprayed, but there are no maintenance instructions that came with it (original) and even now I don't feel it getting hot. Best fan I've ever purchased.

no. its' not independent like the older pelonis. the old ones you could use as fan only when in that setting. which would be fan only. the for heat you set it to the proper setting hi or low and the fan would run any way. but the fan only setting is not heating just fan for circulation. on the newer one's the fan runs all the time with the high and low setting unless the thermostat settings shut it down by your settings. also on this model there is no fan only for circulation . hope this helps

Some run hotter than others...my SPT raises room almost 10 deg. My Whynter is specifically designed to run cooler...It's still puts out some warm air but nothing like my SPT dehumid. does. I like the Whynter for that reason. It also seems to get the job done faster.

Mine is not noisy nor does it run hot, but I always turn mine off when I'm not using it. I really like my picture quality and don't mind recommending it to anyone. I have a smart tv but I prefer using the 7500 for streaming video. To me, its a much better picture

Mine also runs quite hot. After a year of "continuous running" it still runs hot and has not failed.

This gets hot..I rarely use it at hottest setting..I love it..it blows my hair shiny and smooth without much effort..I can just use condenser, and aim down..little brush work needed.

I use it on basement LR and it heats gone when we watch tvIt has a couple of fan speeds but we love it. Not loud to us. Very good looking!

it gets really hot actually. mine melted some plastic when it blew. My TV died about 3 days after I installed the latest blub. (Power Supply) most important thing it to keep the fan in the back clean and clear. It can cool better!

I have the HD7084 and I love it. It powers two Zenith Over the air converter boxes and two LED TVs. I get a great clear picture. Even the 1080i broadcast come in great as well as 480. I would definitely recommend this unit. I have more channels than I new were out there. I live out about 25 miles away from the Chicago stations. I also get some Michigan and Indiana stations.

I am not sure I have mine next to my dvr for my security camera system which runs 24/7. I love this fan. It does not make any noise and gets rid of the heat.

The H70 cools better, but it also is noisier. For most people the H50 is still the best choice.

I called Lasko tech support with a similar question. The 4443 is taller, and generates 304 CFM airflow at 82 watts on the highest setting. The HVB 4930 generates 354 CFM airflow at 105 watts on the highest setting. Lasko does not provide information on sound levels of their fans. The Lasko HVB 4924 and HVB u35100 models have the same airflow and power consumption as the HVB 4930. The HVB u35100 is not sold at amazon, but at S*ms Cl*b.The HVB 4930 can generate higher air flow; but for energy efficiency, the 4443 produces more CFMs per watt. On its highest setting, the 4443 consumes 82 watts while the HVB 4930 consumes 81 watts on its lowest setting; based on data from the manufacturer.

I compared specs of this against the newer FFRS1222Q1 and the only difference seems to be the CFM (cubic feet per minute) airflow rate at highest speed, being 500 on this one and 339 on the new one. Additionally this one claims to cool 640 sq ft, while newer one is just 550 sq ft, probably a result of a lower fan speed. Not sure why they would make a new model just to lower fan speed. Maybe it's quieter, but there's nothing in the specs for that.
