With eight safety features and a "frost watch" setting that prevents frozen water pipes by turning on automatically if the temperature drops below 40 degrees F, this compact, lightweight, 1500- watt ceramic heater has a mind of its own when it comes to security. Measuring just 9 inches high, 7-1/2 inches wide, and 10-3/4 inches deep, the heater is readily portable, with a soft-grip handle and a cool-touch housing to ensure comfort. Other safety features include a fire shield to prevent an electrical fire by shutting off the heater if the power cord is damaged. The unit also shuts off if it overheats (a caution light warns if this occurs), if it tips or falls over, or if it is lifted. Suitable for floor, tabletop, shelf, or desk, the heater rests on big feet for stability. A digital thermometer, operating on LR44 batteries (included) with an approximate 1-year life, displays the room's temperature even when the heater is not plugged in. The ceramic heating element provides even, continuous warmth, a fan-only setting circulates cool air in warm seasons, three settings adjust for room size, and a temperature control sets the heat level as desired. A dust filter helps keep the air blown by the fan clean and can be slid out and washed. --Fred Brack
Product Description
Use the selector switch to choose the room size to heat. From small to large rooms, this heater is effective. Includes a LCD room temperature display. This Black & Decker Ceramic heater fan also includes a series of safety features. Foremost is the exclusive Fireshield. This component is an ACLI power cord that not only turns the heater off if a shock hazard exists, but also turns the heater off if the line cord is damaged. The unit will also shut itself off when the unit is picked up or if it loses contact with the surface on which it is operating. In addition, it also features the added safety of auto shut off if the heater unit overheats. For convenience, this unit includes a frost watch thermostat - it can be set so that if room temperature drops below approximately 40 degrees, the heater will turn on to heat the room and prevent frost damage. Additional conveniences include a soft touch handle with cool touch housing and a fan only setting so it can be used year round.

Excellent Room Heater,
By A Customer
This review is from: Black & Decker BDCH200 Ceramic Heater (Kitchen)
We purchased this heater about a month ago and it is wonderful. It has excellent features, such as tip over or overheat safety. It automatically shuts down if it gets too warm or tips over. If you pick it up to move it, it also shuts down. It has different settings for room size and/or temp. We use it in a 14 x 14 sunroom and has kept it very comfortable so far (during Dec and Jan). We just love it - and it is inexpensive. What a deal!

Deserves Zero stars,
By A Customer
This review is from: Black & Decker BDCH200 Ceramic Heater (Kitchen)
I bought this heater less than 2 weeks ago, and it is already dead. The heater itself worked great, but the AST plug that it uses for safety is a piece of junk. The instructions recommend you test the plug prior to every use by pressing the test button, then the reset button (similar to a GFCI plug). However, this is what caused the death of my heater. And I just found it it will cost me almost as much to send it back to Black & Decker to get it fixed as it would to buy another heater (from a different manufacturer, of course). So Inside that plug, the reset button is a piece of plastic that is about a quarter of an inch around on the outside of the plug; but the functional piece on the back of that button that has to press a metal rod down and lock in place is about the thickness of a paper clip. And because it locks in place, it also has to flex back and forth to move notched areas into locking position. Well, this tiny fragile piece of plastic broke because I diligently followed the instructions and tested my unit before every use. About 10 times of pressing that button stressed that thin piece of plastic until it broke... thus rendering the entire heater useless. I'm just going to throw it in the trash and chalk it up as wasted money; since getting it fixed would probably just result in my being able to use it a few more times before that cheap piece of plastic in the plug would fail again. I'm also never going to buy a B&D product again, as I've had nothing but trouble with their products; usually due to cheap parts.
