VTG Large Presto Quartz Floor Tower Heater Twin Tube. Wood Grain Siding. Good

Good condition - see all of the photos. The item in the images is a vintage Presto Quartz Heater, a type of portable electric space heater. These heaters were popular in the 1970s and 1980s for their efficient heating capabilities. Below are some key features and details about the model. Quartz heaters use quartz heating elements that emit radiant heat. This type of heating is efficient because it directly warms objects and people in its path rather than just the air. The dial on the top provides adjustable settings (low to high).

This likely adjusts the power levels, with the higher setting consuming more electricity for greater heat output. Based on the information on the label, it operates at 120 volts and up to 1500 watts, which is a common wattage for space heaters of this type.

Woodgrain Appearance: Typical of many appliances from the mid-20th century, it has a faux woodgrain finish to blend with home decor. Metal Grille and Safety Features: The metal grille helps protect users from touching the heating element while allowing heat to radiate outward. Portable: It's relatively lightweight and has a handle for easy transportation. As indicated on the label, it is critical to keep combustible materials away from the front of the heater. These older models may not have modern safety features like tip-over or overheating protection.

Ensure the cord and plug are in good condition before using. Given its age, it might not comply with current safety standards. While it might still function, using an older heater like this comes with safety concerns due to outdated wiring and the absence of modern safety standards. If you intend to use it, test it carefully and supervise it while running. If you're looking for reliable heating, modern quartz heaters with updated safety features would be a better choice.
