Q: Does the heater need to be plugged in to be in use?

A: No, actually, this model works by efficiently finding free radical electrons in the air surrounding and exiting your head. Obviously, since you asked this ridiculous question, the only thing in your head IS air. Good for you though. Apparently, this heater will cost you nothing to use....

Q: What is the max temp it can go up to? Can I set the temp or will have to choose a heat level? Also how bad is the sound?

A: temperature can go to 85 degrees and the sound level is low, not bothersome at all

Q: Hey, I recently got a bird. I want to know if this heater is bird safe. I have bought one and used it but I noticed it gave off this smell.

A: That is a very important question. This heater uses a ceramic heating element, which is coated in PTFE, a Teflon-like substance. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at [email protected]. Thank you.

Q: We have a plug-in outdoors. Will this work outdoors on deck when chilly???

A: Hello, You want to use a heater outdoors? ...and heat what? The air around you? This heater is probably not to be used for the application that you are "thinking" about - since there is no mention of the "usage" in your question, other than "can it be used outdoors". More specifically, what exactly do you want to heat outside? I doubt that you will feel any warmth from this heater outside. Blankets; a nice warm jacket; a fire pit; all of these will keep you warm outside on a chilly night. A heater that blows warm air into the great outdoors? Probably not. Happy Holidays!

Q: Is this heater easy to move around from room to room? Or to carry up or down the stairs?

A: Yes very compact and doesn't weigh that much. And it also has a gap at the top back for you to hold it. My wife and I are expecting in 4 weeks and she is able to carry it up stairs.

Q: How does this heat? Heated Coils with a fan. Tip over shut off? I want to keep in basement to protect pipes in house extension. Would be unattended. Worried about fire hazard. Using a oil heated radiator at the moment. Would like to use a smaller unit

A: Thank you for your inquiry. This heater uses a ceramic heating element and does have a tip over switch. However, this unit is made for supplemental heating in a dry, indoor location. This is not made to heat pipes to keep them from freezing. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at [email protected]. Thank you.

Q: WHAT IS THE LOWEST TEMPETURE YOU CAN SET IT AT.... OR DOES IT HAVE A NO FREEZE SETTING

A: 60 degrees is the lowest setting. It does not have a no freeze setting.

Q: Is there a thermostat ? Temp. control ?

A: Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this heater does have a thermostat. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at [email protected]. Thank you.

Excellent space heater
When my battle axe space heater finally quit, it was time for me to bite the bullet and purchase a new one. I scanned Best Buy and other sites for something relatively inexpensive but something that would heat my computer room in my basement and the secondary bedroom. Both can get quite chilly on cold days when we don't want to over heat the entire house. When I came across the Honeywell Heat Genius, I chuckled at the marketing. It was at the top of my monetary threshold. The battle axe had fewer settings but at the same time had too many. It was only useful when the resistance wires were turned on at full blast. I discovered elsewhere ceramic heaters could be self-regulating and they wouldn't get red-hot to work, thereby making them safer. I decided to give Honeywell a try. Giving the bottom line first, it heated both spaces very well. It is quieter than the battle axe ever was. It is lighter, too. And, lo and behold, the various settings were useful and easily intuitive. One of the settings offers the ability for the upper and lower elements to be on simultaneously or separately. I use the lower element only when the tile floor is cold but the room is not so bad. I use the upper element only for the bedroom on similar conditions. One can also set the heater independently on high or low, or set the heater to a temperature setting. The latter may not be so useful if heating a limited area of a larger room, but it is useful for my purposes. Another setting is the countdown feature. One can set the heater to turn off to as much as two hours later in 30 minute increments. I used it once set to one hour when going to sleep. It did its job. The final setting is one I tested to see if it works -- it did work -- but I haven't really used it yet. That setting is the quiet setting. From what I can tell, it means the heater is on and radiates the area without the fan actually being on as well. The heater is fairly quiet already which is why I haven't actually used this setting in practice yet. It is still-of-the-night quiet in this setting, so I can see I might use this setting if on a conference call while teleworking. There are less expensive heaters but they mostly newer versions of my battle axe. The more expensive heaters seem to be more robust and may be worth the money if a real large area (like my entire basement or living room) needs to heated solely with a portable unit. This heater suits my needs perfectly.

Quiet & Efficient
There are many settings to fine tune how you want the heater to be used. The heater it replaced had half as many settings but effectively it had only two -- full tilt or off. Everything in between on Old Betsy was useless. This has a countdown timer, high/low settings for feet/room/both, temp settings to cut on or off, and a quiet mode. The quiet mode kind of made me laugh as it was already quieter. Ceramic is safer to use than the metal bands that literally get red hot. I could have spent less but I would have gotten less. I could have spent more but with my mid-size bedroom or computer room, I saw no reason. It's light enough and small enough, taking it on a vacation where chilly nights are possible is a definite consideration.
