Rating: 8

Time with product: 21 Days

Strengths: Timer and temprature settings

Weaknesses: No Wheels

Summary: Good heater for a room or office or a small bedroom. It is kind of small but does a good job with heating. The surface does get heated a bit so if you have small children be a just little careful. Built-in Timer function is great. I hope it had wheels to allow for easy moving. Overall a good buy.

Strengths: Operation or use of this heat is easy, do not even need to read the manual. Desgin of the heater is "fancy" look and construction is nicely finished. Heating is fast and efficient.

Weaknesses: The front and back panel plate is plastic, it seems not Very sturdily locked since you can wiggle it. when staring to use, there did have some smells like other described, but it went away later on.

Summary: This is a very nice heater far more out of my expection at this price range. The smaelling at first time use is the case for all kinds of heaters, I have no problem with it. unsturdy issue of front and back plastic panel is OK since you do not always use a lot of force to try to wiggle it off the heater except you may want to do service you self. This heater also include the stated nice feature of operation in bathroom--that's one of my orignal reason to get it. It works great. I would recommendate to anyone and myself may want to get extra more for my other bathroom and living place.

Strengths: Quiet, can use in bathroom, heats up area well

Weaknesses: Thermostat confusing, timer is not straight forward, slow to heat area.

Summary: I purchased this heater for a couple of reasons. The first was the fact that I was able to use it in the bathroom. Searching around for portable heaters, there are not many out there. Second, the first portable heater I had used a fan, this one does not. So its very quiet at night. Some other reviews on various websites, say the timer can be loud. I did not notice this. The heater also has a thermostat function. However, it doesn't work quiet as well. A couple of times I've woke up at night to find that its hotter than desired, even after using the thermostat as instructed. Second problem with the thermostat, the setting is not the same on low, medium, or high. If set the thermostat and change the setting to medium from high, the temperature does not hold. Now that I know this I just have to get the desired temperature from the desired setting, then set the thermostat. Overall, its a pretty good heater. I would recommend it for purchase.

Strengths: Heats well

Weaknesses: Very noisy. After it heats it begins clicking.

Summary: Perfectly fine except for the ticking soundwhich is unbelievably aggravating. Very difficult to sleep through. I think it happens with them all after a few weeks. Reviewssuggesting this is a quiet heater are probably frompeople who just got it.
