Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Bask in instant radiant heat with this large floor heater. Because the case is angled back slightly, heat is projected up and out into the room. Two quartz elements glow red, alerting users that the front grill is hot and should not be touched. Simple one-touch operation toggles through thermostat-controlled settings for 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80 degrees F, and for low (1,000 watts) and high (1,500 watts) output. The heater maintains the desired temperature by cycling on and off or runs continually when set on manual mode. If accidentally knocked over, the heater instantly turns off. Despite measuring 23 by 12 by 8-1/2 inches, the heater is lightweight and easily carried with one hand. Holmes provides this heater with a six-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent space heater, January 2, 2003

This heater really does the job well when you only want to heat one room without running central heat,etc. We have had other quart heaters in the past, but this one is unique in that the fan spreads the heat to a wide area. We bought one for one child in gradutate school, tried it out, ---loved it, and are buying a second one for the other child in gradudate school.

The good:
1. It does heat.
The bad:
1. When it turns on it makes a loud buzzing noise for about 30 seconds and then it quiets down. If you set the heater to keep a certain temperature (thermostat feature) this noise gets very annoying since the heater turns on and off repeatedly.
2. The heater has a few temperature and power settings (in all about 10 distinct settings). There is also just a single lonely button. To turn the heater on you press this button repeatedly to reach the desired setting. When you want to turn the heater off you press the same button until you reach the "off" position. So, you will be pressing this button a LOT.
To sum up:
If your environment is noisy as is and you planning to just set this thing to hold a particular temperature (60 - 80 in 5 degree increments) and never touch it again then you might want to consider this heater.
