Customer Ratings & Reviews

Is very compact and can comfortably. It has got a low price and is a nice option for small to medium size rooms or as a personal desk 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.

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.

Enjoying this heater so far. It's much quieter than my old space heater. More compact too. It's smaller than it looks in the photo. It seems to be very safe. The surface areas don't get hot and it shuts down if just wobbled. It has most of the settings you would need in a simple heater. In fact more settings than I even need (i just turn it on/off til i'm warm). But for those who want to control more exactly the heat levels, phases, and shut off times this unit has that. I have only needed it on Low so far which is still pretty warm when you're right next to it. The only thing I miss is that my old heater had mechanical dials, which you could set once and they would just stay that way. With this heater (and most newer heaters) they are all digital so you lose the settings when you turn it off; would be nice if your last settings could be saved. Other than that, I see nothing negative about this heater so far.

This is going to be short and sweet. I'm often home a lot and I hate the idea of heating the entire house just for me. I also hate the gas bill when we do that as well. I went looking for a different heater at Best Buy but ended up getting this one instead. I was intrigued by the 'Quiet Mode' and it was about $30 cheaper than the one I had intended to get. This is an outstanding room heater. In the morning I close the door to my office and within minutes I have it at a toasty 72 degrees and then I hit the Quiet Mode button and I'm good for the rest of the day. I can barely even tell that it is there during the day which is exactly what I wanted. I sure didn't need or want one that sounds like a jet engine every time it drops below the target temp. My office is about 200-225 sq/ft and it does a great job in that space. I haven't tried it anywhere outside of my office so I can't say how well it would work in a larger room.

Great heater and it is powerful. Very quiet so we can use it in bedroom if on low. Regulates temp automatically. Sits stable so no fear of tipping. I was surprised how effective it was given its size. Our room is 20x20. Liked so much I bought two more for other rooms. Saves on running the house heater.

Good item to have warms up the whole room n it’s a great price also those it take a lot off space n u can put it on silence mode

Great Buy ! Honeywell Home Electric Heater Black. I have a Dyson heater; it oscillates, has a remote control, adjustable fan, and heats during the winter and cools during the summer. I like it a lot - except that the heat temperature is no longer adjustable. The cost to fix is not acceptable - so I will continue to use it during the summer months for the cooling that it provides. This Honeywell heater has been a great alternative to the Dyson - I did look at getting a new Dyson, but I could buy 2 Honeywell heaters for less than the cost of 1 Dyson. The Honeywell heater has been great!!! I don't need it to oscillate; I don't need the remote control, and I don't need the cooling feature. The heat from this unit is fast generating and the settings are simple. The heat provided is great and warms you and your area up in no time. I use it in my living room which is about 500-600 square feet - but I don't need the whole room warmed up, just the area that I'm occupying, so it does what I need it to do. ...and if you knock it over, it automatically goes off - I know because I already knocked it over. The unit is very light weight and is easy to move from room to room if you want. If you are looking for a great and easy to use heater, this Honeywell Home Electric Heater is a great choice!

This is just great; super quiet, super warm...we might get 2 more

Easy to use. Good heat for a small heater. The fan helps to distribute the heat. It's fairly quiet.

I used a small personal heaters before for my bedroom but it was not enough I wanted to buy something that can heat up the whole place. Has several settings for personal, floor, or room, can adjust the temperature and can turn off in hour intervals. Also it has an auto turn off which is helpful if someone accidentally tips it over.

Easy to operate. Good output of heat. Nice option of full and lower-only heat.

This is an excellent portable heater for my craft room. It is safe to use where I have lots of card stock and paper products everywhere in this room. The various settings make it easy to warm my room. It also is pretty quiet and the heat output is great. I love this heater.

Great heater! At first I was hesitant to get it because it's hard picking the right item to heat up your room. However it has been a great addition. Heats up our room so fast and keeps it warm. I love the timer on it that way it doesn't stay running forever. We have moved it to different parts of the house and it also heats up those spaces really well. Definitely recommend!

We originally bought the dyson air,hot and purifier. We placed it in the minimum room requirement didnt work out very well for heat. This appliance works perfectly and has safety mechanisms

A good size, study and seems to be working well. Just wish it had more than high and low heat settings however you can set a timer to adjust tge high heat to low once the room reaches a desired temp which is set on the heater. That’s a nice feature. Bought this for my husband and am still leaning the settings.

We have not had bad weather to really use the unit much yet. I plan to use it on our enclosed patio of about 120 S.F. to warm the area. When I tested it out it appeared to heat quickly and was very easy to use. If it don't work as hoped, I will update this review. But, I do not expect any problems.

Quiet and easy to use operation. Keeps my room toasty warm.

Works very well. Efficient and safe. Perfect size.

Purchased this as an emergency backup heater after our main heater was shutdown for carbon monoxide leakage. It's a good little heater for the price. Loved the room setting. Only cons for this are - Not the type to be around small inquisitive children and plug gets hot if the outlet is not grounded (may pop circuit breaker and shut off). other than that it took the chill out of the basement room when I was in it.
