I purchased this heater as a personal space heater, I had no expectations of it heating up my whole room. Given that mode of use, this heater has served me wonderfully - when placed close enough, it can provide immediate relief from the cold. I liked the fan only option - the fan on this thing is very powerful. It certainly seems safe and is rather cute too.
This however would NOT be a good heater if you're looking to heat up a big room. A small office cubile, a study area - sure, but not a huge place.

Overall, it is excellent value for money and packs in a lot of features for a heater that small.

i'm low on cash, so the low price was really appealling. it's nice and small, and nothing on the housing gets hot--but neither did i, unless i placed it about a foot from myself. it would be worth it to look elsewhere or shell out a bit more.

I was looking for a small heater for my small (5'x6') bathroom. I liked this one for several reasons.

1. The switch is on the top rather than the front or side so it is easier to access than some.
2. It is compact--fits well in my bathroom.
3. It is stable--some others tip over more easily.
4. The controls are simple (no swivel or thermostat--just off, fan, low, high).
5. Gray color appeals to me more than beige or black heaters.
6. Smells right--have a ceramic heater that smells funny when on.

I have a wall timer on the outlet so it shuts the heater off after 5 to 40 minutes so I don't have to worry about leaving it turned on all day. It heats up the bathroom nicely prior to a bath. The above items plus the low price make it just right for me.

This little heater is the heater that could. In New England where we can get to tempratures of sub zero weather, heating costs can sometimes skyrocket. With this heater in my bedroom, even when the temp outside was 5 degrees last week, this little box actually heated my room to a toasty 72 degrees within 30 minutes at the 1500 watt setting. Then switched it to low to keep the temp constant. Don't let the small size of this little heater fool you, it does put out a good deal of heat. While this heater will not heat a very large room very well, nor should it be used as your primary heating source, for smaller rooms it certainly does the trick.

Mine just died after a few months of use. Kind of fragile and light... and top-heavy - a bad combination. You get what you pay for I guess. Also, if you are using this in a cold office, you'll definitely want something bigger. It barely warmed my feet.

I have researched a lot of heaters and tried some other heaters and I still like this better. This is the second year I use this heater, it still works very good. I use it at my small bedroom( 9*13 ) it can warms it up within 30 minutes, if I use two of it at a living room ( 14* 18 ), it will makes the room go up to 70 degree (the fan will warms up the room very fast! )I think the simple design is best, as heater , it really doesn't need too many extra function.

Can't heat a large room on its' own but does have some good uses.
Good to heat a small room (bathroom), a small area (office cubicle) or in tandem with another space heater for a medium sized room. Nice small, compact size.
