Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Inexpensive, durable, and lightweight, this 1,500-watt forced-air heater warms an entire room, and its thermostat automatically maintains the room at a consistent temperature. Made of steel and easily portable with its built-in handle, it's great for a house, workshop, basement, or garage--or for moving from one area to another. As a radiant heater, it quickly provides focused heat while later warming an entire room. The heater measures 17-1/2 by 11 by 6-1/2 inches. It automatically shuts off if it tips over or overheats, and it carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

1.0 out of 5 stars Heater stopped working 3 weeks after purchase., January 5, 2005

I ordered this heater from Amazon to have a little additional warmth in our home office during the chilly winter months. The heat output was far less than expected, and did not seem able to significantly warm the not terribly large (12x10) space. I was also a little disturbed when the unit was accidentally tipped one night and did NOT turn itself off. Fortunately I was in the room when this happened and no harm was done. The real problem though is the heater simply stopped producing heat after 3 weeks of very light use in one room. The fan would blow, but the coils would not heat, turning the device into a fan, rather than a heater. I'm definitely steering clear of Holmes heaters now while searching for my replacement heater. Not at all recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great heater for the price., October 28, 2003

Heats well, runs quietly, and has nice safety features. It's light, and the handle stays cool even when the rest of the unit is hot. My only complaint is that to keep a room to a certain temperature, it seems to switch on and off quite frequently, and the sound it makes when switching on is a bit loud. Other than that, I'm quite pleased.

I bought this heater in Oct and used it very little until it quit working in Dec. I tried contacting the company by Planetfeedback.com and through their website to resolve this issue, but apparently they don't see the need to respond to consumer complaints.
I can understand a product being defective, but when a company won't stand behind their products I won't continue to do business with them.
