2.0 out of 5 stars Not very good quality, hard-to-see markings, December 30, 2004

This fan heater can oscillate, which is controlled by the foot switch (i.e., the foot switch doesn't turn the heater on or off). You can tilt the heater, too, but not by much. Overall, the heater feels cheaply made and soemtimes it doesn't work; I have to unplug and replug it to make it go again.

The markings for the two knobs (left for power/fan level, right for thermostat) are *very* hard to see; they are almost non-existent. This is a very stupid design decision.

I wouldn't buy this heater again despite its low price and good safety features.

I think this fan is GREAT! The warmth it provides is awesome and the power is impressive. It is a very good deal as well. I was freezing in our new house and was so greatful for the amount of warmth this provided at a much lower cost than some of the other options available. 5 stars all the way~

I'm happy with my heater-- the size of my room is decent, approximately 16' x 16'-- and with the oscillating feature, the room gets warm in about 15 minutes. I can definitely feel the difference between the temperature in my room and directly outside my door/the hallway, and it does a good job of switching itself off once it reaches the correct temperature. I like the petite size, and sleek egg-shape. I have not had any problems with the balance mechanism, and though it does make some noise, it's not obnoxiously loud or irritating.

The three different levels does seem a bit pointless, and the temperature setting numbers on the knob could be easier to read, but I haven't had difficulty with it yet. You just have to look closely.

Yes this heater is plastic, therefore it doesn't get really hot to the touch (thus the concept of "safe heat") and no it's not the smelly type of heater that you'd want to sit in front of to warm your feet.

I'd buy it again in an instant, and have recommended it to others wanting a budget heather that will keep them comfortable through the winter.
