Uncover the Secrets of the Magic Heat Recliner

The Magic Heat Heat Recliner is a revolutionary piece of furniture that combines the comfort and relaxation of a recliner with the added benefit of heat therapy. Designed with back pain sufferers in mind, this innovative recliner provides targeted warmth to soothe muscles and alleviate discomfort. The heat therapy feature of the Magic Heat Heat Recliner is powered by a built-in heating system that is adjustable to three different levels. Users can easily control the intensity of heat to cater to their specific needs and preferences. Whether you're dealing with chronic back pain or simply want to unwind after a long day, the Magic Heat Heat Recliner offers customizable heat therapy that is sure to provide relief. In addition to its heat therapy capabilities, the Magic Heat Heat Recliner also boasts all the features of a traditional recliner.

You are not getting the most out of that stove, even though you may indeed need a larger stove (or one upstairs) to get all the output you want. I would second the opinion that you may not be getting the secondary combustion that stove is designed to get, with two-year wood and an optimal flue setup.

I m not surprised that upstairs is only 65, for the reason a stove is a space heater, but am surprised the stove is only heating a finished basement to 69. The only thing is a person has to know how to pull the motor out of the box a little if the electricity goes out and you are still using the fireplace so the motor doesn t get too hot.

In addition to its heat therapy capabilities, the Magic Heat Heat Recliner also boasts all the features of a traditional recliner. It has a convenient footrest that can be raised and lowered at the touch of a button, allowing users to find their optimal reclining position with ease. The recliner is also equipped with a sturdy frame and high-quality upholstery, ensuring durability and long-lasting comfort.

I purchased a new stove this year. I have a 2200 square-foot house it won't heat my house above 65. It's a US 2000 stove model it should be heating 2000 square feet. We are burning seasoned oak maple and Elm. It's in a finished basement with an open stairwell beside it. It was suggested to get a magic heat reclaimer. I'm torn about the heat reclaimer should I get one or replace the stove? If new stove do you have any recommendations? I live in Minnesota.

Hey Matt welcome aboard. Magic heat reclaimers have a bad rep around here since they remove heat from your stack that is needed to keep exhaust going up and out w/o causing creosote to deposit.

Is the basement getting warm and you can't get the heat where you want or no heat at all. No heat can be the fact that basements can suck heat endlessly but can also be due to lousy wood.

Basic first question; How long has your wood (what kind) been cut split and stacked (CSS)?

Some of the wood is a year some of it is only 10 months all split and stack nicely. My basement can get up to 69 and the upstairs would be at 65. I didn't know if it's because I got the stove from tractor supply and it says it can heat 2000 square-foot so I thought it be fine for the size of my house.

Magic Heat is junk you don't want.

Wood stoves are space heaters. Getting any of the heat upstairs from a basement is tough.

An uninsulated basement will suck up more heat than your stove can put out.

Your wood is certainly not optimal.

So does the wood sizzle from the ends on startup and reload?

Matt, welcome. The Magic Heat is not a solution for a modern stove. If your US 2000 is not heating the house well there could be several explanations. It could be the house is poorly insulated and leaky, it could be the stove is too small, it could be that the stove location is poor, or it could be that the wood is not dry. Modern stoves want fully seasoned wood.

I suspect you are dealing with two situations. One is the basement. The stove is an area heater. Heating remotely from a basement is hard. A lot of the heat is lost right through the basement walls and heat is often only able to migrate upstairs via a narrow stairwell. The other issue is the wood. Oak takes at least a couple years to season. At one year it is still damp which cools the fire.

That stove is a not-too-big 1.9 cu ft, which CAN heat 2000 sq ft, but maybe not in MN. that's why they say "up to" 2000 sq ft.

I'm not surprised that upstairs is only 65, for the reason a stove is a space heater, but am surprised the stove is only heating a finished basement to 69. So in addition to the wood not being optimal, it may be also that your flue setup in not optimal, either. Is it a six-inch pipe top to bottom, or a clay liner?

You are not getting the most out of that stove, even though you may indeed need a larger stove (or one upstairs) to get all the output you want. I would second the opinion that you may not be getting the secondary combustion that stove is designed to get, with two-year wood and an optimal flue setup.

The question I have is who finished the basement and how did they do it? My biggest question is how did they insulate it? I would peek behind electrical covers and see what it looks like. If it is 2X4s with R19 and no vapor barrier and no gap between the foundation and studs it is going to take a lot to heat it.

As a point of reference my carriage house / shop has a radiant floor heat.24 X 32 with 6 inches of concrete sitting on top of 6 mil poly and 3 1/2 inches of high density foam along with 800 ft of pex tubing rebar etc. When it was built the heat was not done until Dec. 1 and it took 24 hours with a 70k btu net boiler to get it to temperature and it never stopped or went off on high limit. So that is around 56000 lbs. of well insulated floor for the floor to be heated before the room gets heated.

I was familiar with his type of heat reclaimer from the days when I was a boy back on the farm where a unit similiar to this was installed on top of an old Quebec space heater in the living rood. It was the only source of heat in the winter out side of the cook stove in he kitchen. I still live in the country, in Canada, near the mountains. My house is an old two story, built in 1908, approx. 2800 sg ft. There are times when the temperatures in the winter due plummet quite low. The first winter with the wood stove (without the heat reclaimer) I became aware of the difference of warmth in the house and of how much wood I used and the savings in the gas bill, which was quite substantial. I installed the unit at the maximum recommended distance from the woodstove on the vertical stack. The installation was very simple and easy. The design of the unit and quality far exceeded from what I remembered. It is even pleaing to the eye. When I fired the wood stove, I expected an increase in heat efficiency. What I did not expect was how much. Wood stoves are only 20 -25 % efficient if your are lucky but with this Heat Reclaimer, I feel comfortable by saying I have increased it by 300%, or more. I am also using a minimum of 1/3 or more less wood to maintain the heat level is the house. I also use an extra fan to move the air throughout the house and turn the furnace on only to keep the basement from freezing. As this is still early winter, I will know more in the spring just how much more savings I will have. Please be aware of the building codes and insurance codes in your area. They have have this idea all people are not too smart, yet they do have a say. To anyone who is not afraid to chop a little wood or carry out ashes, I can only highly recommend that you install this unit on your wood space heater. I cannot say enough good about it. Being a retired contractor,Woodland Direct has been one of the most pleasant and obliging companies I have dealt with. I have built and installed many fireplaces and woodstoves over the years and this one I like the best. Good Luck on yours

Reviews for "Improve Your Health with the Magic Heat Recliner"

- Rachel - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Magic heat recliner. First of all, it was not very comfortable at all. The padding was really thin and I could feel the springs underneath. Secondly, the heat function didn't work properly. It would randomly turn off after a few minutes, and even when it was on, it didn't provide much warmth. Overall, I think this recliner is overpriced for the poor quality it offers.

- Mark - 1 star - I regret buying the Magic heat recliner. The design looked cool, but the actual comfort and functionality were terrible. The reclining mechanism was so stiff that it was a struggle to even put the chair back in an upright position. Additionally, the heat feature did not work at all. I tried contacting customer support for assistance, but they were unhelpful and didn't offer any solutions. I would not recommend this recliner to anyone.

- Anna - 2 stars - I found the Magic heat recliner to be quite disappointing. Firstly, the chair itself was not as comfortable as I had hoped. The padding felt lumpy and uneven, making it difficult to relax in. Secondly, the heat function was weak and did not provide much warmth. I also noticed that the chair started to creak after just a few weeks of use, which was quite annoying. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this recliner, especially considering its high price tag.

- Patrick - 1 star - I had high hopes for the Magic heat recliner, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The chair itself was uncomfortable and didn't provide the support I needed. The heat function barely worked and certainly didn't provide the soothing warmth it promised. I reached out to customer service for assistance, but they were unresponsive and unhelpful. I regret purchasing this recliner and would advise others to look elsewhere for a better option.
