It works well
By Bob
Just received this heater. Paid $51. with shipping for it from a reputable source with 30 day returns. Looked it over and have it running full tilt currently. My impression is that it is worth a few bucks more than some of the cheaper plastic heaters. It's about all steel on the exterior and heavy to be so small- very small. Like the rest, it's made in China but it looks fairly well made. It has a tilt shut off safety that kills the power when the unit tilts about 45 degrees or more to the front or rear but not when it tilts to either side. Claims to also have a thermal safety. Seems to be putting out plenty of intense heat at 1500 watts. It's fan forced heat so it does make the typical noise of a fan forced heater... If you want something quiet, get an oil filled radiator type space heater (my favorite type for safety). It's UL LISTED. If it should fail or act up, will update this review.

Jan 22, 2011, Due to its small size, the outer metal housing does get fa irly hot in places. Would not place it on a flammable surface other than wood or tile, etc. It's still working fine. The thermostat control is hypersensitive when it's running hard and hot on the high setting. Sometimes it will turn off and on much too rapidly. Otherwise, it works fine.

Summer 2012: My only complaint is that the thermostat control is hypersensitive- it will cycle heater off and on too fast when it gets room warm. Could have a unit with a defective thermostat. It still gets the job done. Per the reviews I read before this purchase, one should be prepared to return this heater if he receives a bad one. Think a lot of the negative reviews are simply bogus.

Dec 20 2012: The silly Chinese thermostat is working more like it ought to now. Upped my rating from 3 to 4 stars. Would buy another one like this if I needed it.

Jan 2013: Purchased another one for 51.29 with shipping. May get another RV in the future. Two of these small heat ers would be just right for a RV to avoid using onboard LP gas... The thermostat on the second one is somewhat sensitive like the first one but they put out heat. When it's cold, that's what matters. The thermostats just cycle off and on more rapidly than most portable heaters.

March 2013: Purchased a third one. Therefore, this must be a decent heater in my picky opinion. They are versatile little heaters that don't take up much space. Upped my rating from four stars to five. It's a good little heater. Being so small is an appealing factor to me.

Have them rigged on power strips to use in whatever rooms are occupied so it'll be toasty only where needed while maintaining the overall home at a lower, more energy efficient temperature.

small powerful heater
By L.V. Patrick
I love this heater -- I've purchased several- it's small so it doesn't take up a lot of space but it heats the whole room quickly. has several settings and will turn off if a kid or pet knocks it over-- very long lasting too.. I've got one I've had for about 20 years that still works great

Top notch compact electric heater
By Lawrence E. Mallette
I bought this on the recommendation of a newspaper columnist, whose advice is always spot on. He wasn't wrong this time either. The duct work to our master bath is insufficient for those extra-cold winter days, and this little job corrects the problem nicely. Turn it on around 4 AM and the place is toasty for a 7 AM shower. Since the furnace is electric anyway, don't think we are adding much to the utility bills either. Oh, and the gadget shuts itself off if tipped off the horizontal, so much less danger of overheating or fire. Five stars.
