Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Doing double duty, this heater warms up a chilly basement or enclosed porch and then switches to fan-only mode to cool off a hot bedroom. Blowing fan-forced air, the upright heater makes a noticeable difference in the air temperature within 30 seconds but is extremely quiet in its delivery. In addition, its space-saving dimensions (13 inches tall by 4-1/2 inches wide) make the heater barely detectable in the corner of a room.

The heating portion of the unit has two settings--750 or 1,500 watts--and an adjustable thermostat to maintain the preferred room temperature. Both controls are shielded by a pull-out plastic cover to prevent you from accidentally turning the heater on. Other safety features include a power light that reminds you when the unit is on and a caution light that indicates overheating, in which case the heater automatically shuts off. Other conveniences are an ergonomic recessed slot in the back for carrying the fan heater and a hidden storage area underneath the heater for the cord. This WindChaser fan heater is covered by a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so hot, April 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: WindChaser Jumbo Upright Fan/Heater (Kitchen)

Doesn't put out much warmth. I have to have it about 6 inches from my ankles. Never overheats me, but occasionally it overheats itself. The dial immediatly broke so that it can be accidentally turned beyond the last setting, in which case the heater doesn't turn on at all. I'm now looking for a replacement.

4.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for - this is not so bad..., December 30, 2003

Despite the reivews of others, I was looking for a cheap way to heat my office, and this has done the trick so far. Yes, this is a cheap - cheap prodcut; all palstic parts, could easily break if you don't pay attention. It does the job. It can heat my 12'x12' office from 57 degrees to 73 degrees in about 1/2 hour. This does not put out high heat - but it does put out good consistant heat. You are getting what you pay for here. For under $25.00 people should expect so much from a product like this. Stay warm!

1.0 out of 5 stars The machine NEVER turned on., August 19, 2003

The machine was advertised as new, but I obviously got used and not working. The fan never blew. The only thing that worked was the Caution light. I'm sending it back and hoping to get a guaranteed working product in return for my money.
