This product is great, because it's small and has more than one funcion. The Adobeair Heater fits everywhere and it serves as a heater and a fan. It is great for small areas such as baby rooms or bathrooms. The best thing about it is that when it gets to the certain temperature it shuts off. Get it and you won't regret it.

This heater is great for quickly warming up a cold bedroom or cold living room. It has fan-forced convection heat(no red-hot glowing elements), and puts out soft warmth. The safety features in this heater work great, and respond in 30 seconds or less if knocked over. However; this heater lacks a thermostat, which means that once you turn it on, you have to remember to turn it off, or it will keep running until it reaches it over-heat limit. Using this heater with a plug in appliance/lamp timer, rated at 1750 watts or better, 1875 watts makes this heater more useful. You can set a plug in, appliance/lamp timer to turn the heater on and off, and that means that you can use this heater when sleeping. For example, you set your timer(which you purchase seperately for about [amt])to turn the heater on at say, midnight, and then off at 1:00 AM. You could also set the timer, which you purchase seperately, to also come on again at 3:00 AM and go off a 4:00 AM. These are times after midnight when the house temp drops down to around 66 degrees in large bedrooms, for instance. I've been using a heater/fan similar to this one for about 2 months, at night, and it is worry free, and keeps you warm, even when the main furnace in your house doesn't come on any moret than twice an hour. The fan-only setting works great for cooling your room, primarily a bedroom in early spring and early fall. Good price, good economical heater, and easy to carry room to room. I do recommend that you buy a multi-program appliance timer with it though, for greatest flexibility in heating.

Overall, I would say that this heater has proved to be a good buy. As a college junior living in a dorm room the size of a walk-in closet, I wanted an affordable heater that would warm up my room fast and cheaply. On a chilly morning, as soon as I get out of bed I switch it on to heat up the room, and by the time I get back from the shower, it's warm and snug. This heater does not have a timer, and I had the unfortunate experience of leaving it on while I passed out to take a nap, only to be woken up by the suffocating heat. This heater is also quite loud, so if you have a noise-sensitive roommate, I would not advise it. The noise bothers me only when I'm trying to watch TV, but since it heats up the room so quickly, the inconvenience is worth it. Compared to all the other noise that goes on in my dorm building, I've gotten rather used to not minding it at all. The price is also a nice factor. The heater itself is very small, lightweight, and easy to travel with (a definite plus factor if you're both a pack rat and a college student like me). It also has a nice fan, another thing to consider when you have a small room that gets stuffy easily during the more warm and humid months.

This type of heater is very versatile, and can be used as a heater or a fan. The heat settings allow just the right amount of heat for your needs. The fan is powerful, and quiet, and can cool you even during the Spring Time of year. The safety features act quickly, if over-turned. However; there is no thermostat to control temperature. This is drawback. You can, however, make it semi-automatic, by using a plug in, timer that's designed to turn lights, fans, and heaters(no more than 1800 watts)on off several times a day. Without the timer, you should watch this unit when operating. The unit will run at the heat setting you select, until it gets too hot. Then the safety kicks in, but that can take many, many hours to reach the over-heat temperature; and this is not good practice for the heater. If the safety shut-off is tasked too much, it could, keep your heater off indefinitely. Use the heater with care, and it will last past it's warranty by several years. I own a heater/fan that I bought back in 1994. It's 7 years old, and works great.

I purchased this heater through ... on 12/18. Today just over 30 days I went to plug it in. One of the prongs broke off, so I can no longer plug it in and use it. Also possibly a fire hazard because of this. It looks like the heat broke it off. Not manufactured very well.
