 Perfect heater for Small to Medium rooms. January 17, 2008

This is a perfect heater for guest rooms, bedrooms, and office type spaces. It has preset temperature settings starting from 60 up to 80 degrees fahrenheit in increments of 5, and automatically turns off and on when the setting has been reached or falls below respectively. Granted, the immediate temperature around the heater may not coincide with the room as a whole, but the differences are small. The heater also has two manual settings (High heat - 1500 watts / Low heat - 1000 watts) that will provide continuous nonstop heat until the user chooses change the setting. These two settings will heat a room to a cozy 85 degrees.
One of the key advantages of this heater over other fan-forced heaters is it's quiet factor. I am able to sleep and study with this heater on 24/7 (I keep it on High most of the time). It does generate minor sound due to the heated air being forced by the fan, but it is soothing, and in fact serves as a nice replacement for external sounds coming from outside the room being heated (for example T.V's, dog barking at night, etc.). There is no noticeable mechanical noise assosciated with its operation. It also has an elegant and compact design.
For anyone concerned, it does not support a seperate 'fan only' button, only heating options. It does not oscillate, does not have a remote control, and does not have a 'tip-over' safety shutoff feature (it has a wide base though).
I own two of these heaters, and I had to return one of original heaters due to a malfunction. But these problems usually crop up within the first 2 weeks of operating any heater, so once you pass the break-in period, the product should work beyond its warranty.
No Noise Please March 7, 2008

This heater warms the room very evenly; my husband and I use it in our home office (12 x 14 room). We have tried many different heaters only to find them either too noisy or too directional leaving parts of the room too hot or cold. This small in size heater puts out plenty of heat and has a very, very, small sound level that is actually pleasant for background noise while reading or doing computer work. We were so impressed that we bought a second one for our bedroom. We have lowered our furnace temperature and now use the heater to keep individual rooms comfortable. We both feel it is a good product and would recommend it to friends or family.

Works fine for us January 8, 2009

I had 2 of these heaters already but our gas furnace went out and I got a couple more while taking care of the main heat.
The thermostats worked well, they are quiet, and they heat a room nicely.
Electric bill went up some but I wasn't burning any propane during that time so maybe it offset.
Nice little heaters. Too bad they don't make that particular model any more.
Best heater I have ever owned. December 12, 2009

This is the second heater of this model I have purchased in the last 4 years. Very quiet so it is great for a small bedroom. I have purchased other more expensive heaters only to have them be noisy, break down in a year or two or just not heat well.
Quiet!!! January 7, 2010

This is the most quiet heater that you can buy. I can't tell if it's on or off. It heats 1 room comfortably.
