 Great little heater for a small area February 22, 2008

I was looking for a heater that would fit under my desk, and provide slow comfortable heat without popping the circuit breaker. This is an excellent heater for an office or other small area.
The heater is rated at 400W. I tested the current draw a few times by plugging the heater and my computer into the same outlet strip, and turning them on simultaneously. No problems - the circuit never tripped (of course in actual use the heater should be plugged into a wall outlet).
When used under a table or desk, I've had to turn it down to near it's minimum setting. It provides enough local heat that I can turn the main furnace down 2-3 degrees. For the cost of a 40-watt light bulb, I can work in comfort!
Although it doesn't get as hot as a fan heater, like other oil heaters it is sometimes too hot to comfortably touch. Be aware if there are toddlers or flammables nearby.
The product page is sketchy on details; heater dimensions are approx. 21.5"L x 15.5 "H. Width ranges from 0.5" at the fins to a 5.25" W at the base. Weight is just under 7 pounds.

I bought this as a xmass gift for my wife. I was a little concerned with the dimensions listed thought it would be to wide, but it did fit under her desk. She loves it, not only keeps her feet warm but even when the room is cold she is comfortable.
I had been thinking about one of those radiant underdesk panels but after reading the reviews decided those wouldn't be enough for a climate like ours (Wyoming). This unit works very well.
I'm very happy with this product October 31, 2008

The personal heaters I've tried over the years have been noisy, tripped circuit breakers and often gave off burning smells that made me wonder if they were even safe. After trying a large-sized oil-filled radiant heater at home, I wished I could find a smaller version to sit by my desk at work. With some research online, I found the Newair AH-400. It was just what I wanted - a radiant-style heater small enough for my workspace. I ordered it hoping it would keep my legs warm at work without causing power problems among the computer equipment. After a month or so of use, I am very pleased. It fits my needs perfectly. My experience with ordering and shipping was good as well. Everything was prompt and correct.

Good little 400watt heater. I needed something small with a small footprint and this heater fit the bill. I've also noticed that if it gets knocked over, it turns off automatically. Somehow, it has some kind of sensor in it, if you tip it at all, the power shuts off. So, it's a great little heater that has worked reliably now for probably six months and it has a great fire safety feature.

I bought this heater for use inside a tent for winter camping. And as soon as I get a backup battery pack big enough to run it for 6 hours I'll probably use it for that purpose.
Until then I'll use it to keep the kitchen plumbing (north side of the building) from freezing when I'm off on those winter camping trips I just mentioned.
Good construction, low (adjustable) wattage, compact size, and a tip-over shutoff mechanism that really works.
Good stuff in a small, no fire hazard heater.
