Here in MI things get cold quick and living in a cold finished basement makes things tough. My computer room is a tiny 6x10 and doesn't have vents for heat. The hallway near the doorway lacks them as well so it gets very cold. When I saw this heater for [...] i figured to give it a try for that room.
The heat is just about instant. No waiting for it to warm up. The thermostat works nice to keep the room at a very comfortable level. Nice to have so you don't have to keep adjusting and turning on and off. Sound is very quiet. Much more quiet than my normal desk fan, but it sits on the floor under the desk. I just realized its sitting right on the carpet and I wouldn't worry about it falling over or anything. It is very sturdy and kicking it somewhat gently doesn't knock it over. The unit is very cool to the touch even while running. I actually picked it up while running and was examining the bottom.
I was kinda disappointed about one thing. From the picture on the box I assumed it would oscillate which would be a cool feature, but since its only [...] its not a big deal at all. It does have a swivel base that turns about 45 degrees either way, but with it being so light I don't see a point.
This unit is 1500 watts ... um or amps ... whichever the case, my computer is a gamer computer and it draws ... a lot. So the point is that when I am gaming, I have noticed that every time the heater kicks on the lights dim a little bit just for a split second since I have them both running off the same circuit. I don't know if I would put them in the same outlet ... but then again nothing goes into the same outlet as the PC anyways.
Pros: light, quiet, instant heat, doubles as a fan, PRICE!
Cons: not really any unless you need one that oscillates or you are going to land an airplane with your Christmas lights this year.
A great buy February 19, 2009

I used this both for cooling (in fan-only mode) and heating. The heat works great, and it warms up almost instantly. The cooling side is good, but it doesn't push as much air as some regular fans, so I need it a 2-3 feet away to feel enough breeze to cool me.
The plastic grill does rapidly change color to show it's hot, but I found that unneeded because the grill itself never gets hot. At times, I've had it accidently fall over or get covered, and it's never overheated or made something crispy. :-)
The thermostat also works well, and is easy and user-friendly to adjust. The fan is very quiet; sometimes I don't notice it's on. It's very lightweight and is easily swiveled to fine-tune the direction.
Mine finally died after frequent use for 8-10 months, but I feel I got my money's worth, and I'm buying another to replace it.
Love it! Keeps my daughter warm at night. I love the automatic shut off. July 20, 2010

It doesn't get hot to touch. I feel safe that my daughter will not get burned. Love the automatic shut off and the tempature adjustment.

I love this little fan. It fits right under my desk with no one noticing. It is perfect for the overactive office AC's.
 Great heater, short longevity March 12, 2010
Taoucaros (Miami, FL)
I bought this heater early January when we went through some cold weather in Miami. I was very pleased with the way the heater was heating up my bedroom (about 12x12). You can set the heater at the temperature that is comfortable to you (note that there are no precise thermostats that allows you to set your room at a specific temperature, but just a comfort thermostat that works just fine). it generates a lot of heat in a short period of time and woks wonder.
My only issue is that it stopped functioning after only a month. I may have bought a bad one. I called Holmes, gave the serial number and promptly sent me a new one by UPS.
I was very pleased with their customer service and I just hope this one will last longer.
