This heater is an excellent choice for a small space. Because it has a fan, it would not be suitable for a TV area. And because it's not sold by Amazon, you'll have to pay shipping (but even with that, the heater is a bargain). Compared to an earlier Honeywell unit of the same size that we had, Pelonis does everything right (whereas Honeywell did everything wrong). The controls are on top (handy), the knobs are easy to dial, and the light goes out when you turn off the fan (the Honeywell's light stayed on if the unit was plugged in (huh?). Note: In the picture, the heater appears to be cream colored; it is actually white.

I purchased this item from Wal-Mart in Oct of 2008 when it was on sale. I am here at Amazon.com to buy a more expensive model. Not this one. This heater has only one heating ceramic, and heats up a "coil" or "folded" wiring system then the fan blows the heat into the room. This model does not put out the heat that a 4 ceramic heater will put out. This model is more costly to run than the more costly, but more efficient, models. Do not drop this model. Do not put it in an area where it may get knocked over. It is low priced for a reason. Think "seasonal puchase" if you must have it.

If you can, get the more expensive models for hotter heating over a shorter period of time. All in all, Pelonis is still the brand to get. I have/had the original Pelonis Safe-T-Furnace (4 ceramic model) since 1989. Yes 1989. It has survived that long by taking care of it, and keeping it clean. I'm here to purchase a new model to replace it. The bulky wire out of the back of the old furnace finally "cracked" and lost connection to the heating elements. I had it 20 years. Sigh ....

I would suggest the more expensive model for long term use. The model shown here was lent to a neighbor and after a while her dog knocked it over and it stopped putting out heat. The fan works though. Now I need to find a job for the dog so he can pay me back ... Anyone need a yard dug up?

i bought this for my office and it does a wonderful job for be small

I purchased this heater because I left the one I already owned in my RV stored in New Mexico and I am living in Arkansas. I don't mind having two of these heaters as they provide safe and quick heat. You will not regret buying one for yourself!
