This thing puts out heat!
I have a trailer with no central heat, no propane or gas, and poor insulation. So, I need an electric heater that will not only heat my home adequately, but also safely.I was skeptical due to the much lower wattage than a regular space heater. Regular space heaters are 1500 watts on the highest setting; This heater is only 480 watts.Converting the watts to amps, regular space heaters draw 12.5 amps, while this heater only draws 4 amps. This is very important to know, because the circuit breakers in your home will be either 15 amps or 20 amps. That means, the breaker cannot handle more than that amount of amps, without tripping the breaker, or worse, starting a fire.So, since this heater only draws 4 amps, it's MUCH SAFER than a regular space heater.But even using that much less power, this thing puts out heat! In fact, just as much heat as a regular space heater. And it gets hot instantly, no waiting for it to warm up (like with radiators, they take a while).So, this will not only save on my electric bill, it makes it MUCH SAFER for me to heat my home at night in the winter.

Price has rose tremendously. Don't waste your money.
I've had this product for about a year. All of the sudden, it stopped working. When I first bought this product, the price was around 35 dollars. Now the price is over 97 and I can't return it. I contacted customer support and they were not helpful at all. Don't waste your money on something built so cheap, yet sold at such an inflated price.

Best Office Heater
I work in an office that is always cold and have used several heaters over the years. I used to use a small heater that blew hot air. While warm, it was loud and I didn't like having the air blow at me. I switched to a parabolic electric heater (dish type) and that was nice only, it would make a buzzing noise when it heated. Also, if you had to reposition the heater while it was on, it would make a horrible noise. And, because I have the heater next to my chair, I was afraid of burning myself when I walked by it. None of these issues apply to this heater. It's completely silent, keeps me warm enough without being too hot in my office, and because of the slim profile, I can walk by without worrying that I'll burn myself. I can also lift it by the handle and move it while it's still on and it doesn't make any noise. Only 2 settings (low and high) but I find that these two are enough for what I need. Loved this heater so much that in the winter I take it home with me to use in my home office when working from home.

Great heater
Wowsa!!! Just what I wanted. Low heat output, very wide stable base, super low amperage draw. For the small bathroom in our motorhome. The instructions about 3 ft clearance behind it is silly, it doesn't even get warm to the side or behind, only in front. A tad spendy but in ten years if I'm still using it the price will be right. Electrical Cost on high approx a nickle an hour. I would have given it a 5, except I've not had the critter very long.

I absolutely love this heater!
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. It's stylish and functional. I think it's awesome that you feel the warmth immediately. You instantly feel a blissful wave of warmth that makes you feel good. This thing heats up super fast! There are two settings, one for very warm and one for perfectly toasty. I love using it near my desk. It completely replaced the Dyson I had previously, this heater heats up quicker than any other heater I have used. Everyone in my office has been asking about it. I would highly recommend this for a home or office.

Lifesaver!
This thing heats up immediately and has kept our bedroom or the bottle puppies we have warm without pulling outrageous electricity loads. Its comparable to the 1000 watt unit for warmth-- but warms faster for half the energy use!It took over a week to come and we were without a heater in that time so I was pretty upset when it got delayed the day it was supposed to arrive, but I'm glad I made the decision to purchase this and will probably add a few more to our home

Doesn't emit a lot of heat....for the money it's not worth it
I bought this for my son's room...it's a 8x12 space so it's not very big. I wasn't impressed with how long it took the heater to warm up. Even though it's a small space, it took a long time for it to heat up the room. When it finally heat up to its maximum, it took about 50 minutes to really feel the heat. For the money, it doesn't seem to be worth it.

Broke after 5 - 6 uses.
This heater broke after 5 - 6 uses. It was on high and just quit. I thought maybe if I allowed it cool down, it might start back up again. No such luck. I would not recommend this heater to anyone, even if uses less energy. It is not reliable and not worth the money.
