Stay cozy through the dark days of winter with this quiet digital heater from Honeywell. The 120-volt heater offers a cost-effective alternative to a central heating system, or can bring warmth to an area of activity while the overall household system runs on low. A range of safety features and Electrical Climate Control (EEC) further endear this easy-to-use heater to users.

Honeywell crafted the low profile heater with flame-resistant plastic. Users monitor temperatures on an oversized LCD screen. The push-button digital comfort control allows users to designate preferred climate temperatures. Once the heater reaches the desired temperature, it displays the information on the heat indicator badge and upholds the level by EEC. Operating at a 1500-watt output, the heater uses a three-prong grounded plug to affix to power outlets. A programmable timer function enables users to predetermine automatic shut-off up in one to ten hours. For fire safety, the heater also automatically shuts off upon knock-over or if overheating. Power and caution lights also enhance safety. Do not place the heater outdoors or near flammables and avoid running the power line under carpeting. Thorough safety guidelines and assembly instructions are included. A limited five-year warranty covers this item. The heater weighs 13.1 pounds upon shipping --Jessica Reuling

5.0 out of 5 stars Many features to offer peace of mind, November 20, 2006

By	K. Levin (Oregon & Massachusetts) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

We needed a supplemental electric space heater for an unheated bedroom in our home that is occasionally used by guests. I selected this model over the Honeywell HZ515 because it has a screen to display the temperature instead of just a selector dial. We own one other electric heater that has a thermostat without a display, and it is much harder on that Delonghi unit for someone to set the temperature without consulting the manual. This heater is quite straightforward to operate in comparison.

If you simply push the power button, the unit will come on at full power and keep heating at full power until you turn it off again.

If you push the power button and then use the up- and down-arrow buttons, you can select a temperature (in Fahrenheit or Celsius) that the unit will attempt to maintain (up to its 1500 W capacity) until you turn it off.

If you push power, then use the arrows to select a temperature, and then push the timer button (and use the arrows to increase/decrease the amount of time), the heater will run as much as needed to keep the heat to the pre-selected temperature for the amount of time you've selected. I believe the maximum is 10 hours--enough for overnight use.

For me, this offers some extra peace of mind. I can set this heater for a guest (or tell them how to do it) and not feel the need to check up on them in the morning to be sure the heater has been turned off.

Two other features on this heater are superior to those on my Delonghi Mica Panel heater:
* the Honeywell HZ519 has a 5 year warranty (vs. Delonghi's 1 year)
* the Honeywell HZ519 has a three prong power cord (vs. Delonghi's 2 prong plug)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great heater, October 17, 2007

By	Brian A. Schar (Menlo Park, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This heater really heats up a room in a hurry. To provide some context, my kitchen is in the vicinity of 120 square feet, and it only takes 5 minutes or so to heat up after turning this heater on. As advertised, it is indeed silent. And even when first turning it on, it didn't emit that nasty new-heater smell. This heater is a great value and I'm glad I bought it.

1.0 out of 5 stars good and bad -- be careful, January 23, 2007

By	Roscoe (Northern WI USA) - See all my reviews

I've had one of these heaters for a couple years and it has worked well for occasional use & I've been quite happy with it. So, last week when I saw them for sale at Home Depot I picked another one up. I used it for a couple days, turning it on during the day and off at night. Then one morning I went to turn it on and was surprised to find the unit was hot. Even though it was powered off and the display was off the unit was still heating. I unplugged it and tried again later with the same result. I don't know if this a common problem, but you may want to make sure yours is working OK.

Thankfully I was able to return the defective heater to the store I bought it. But my experience with this heater and a previous experience with defective Honeywell humidifiers makes me wonder if Honeywell's quality no longer lives up to their reputation. And their support company, Kaz, leaves very much to be desired in regard to customer service.

If I had no concerns about the safety and reliability of this heater, I would give it 5 stars, but unfortunately that is not the case.
