Wanted this item to take chill off the bathroom. Once carefully placed on a sturdy surface, this little item works wonderfully, not noisy, and has the features you can appreciate. Ceramic heating element, timer, and digital display with adjustable thermostat and safety shut off. This item is very portable and even took the chill out of a large room.

I purchased this during the winter time and it has kept me warm through it and even now when it gets cold in my office. This is biggger than a desktop heater but it still fits and will not take up much of your desk area. It has the option to put heat or extra heat! So easy and touch buttons make it much more easier to use.

I was looking for a small heater, with a timer. This one fit the bill. I was really impressed with the fact that it would cut off if turned over. We have a young, active dog. This little heater was exactly what I wanted. It's doing it's job nicely. I am very happy with my choice.

This is the 2nd Insignia heater that I have purchased. The previous one (same model) lasted 2 years being used in a bathroom on a daily basis. While I'm not sure that it's recommended, I ran this heater in the bathroom every day during a shower. This accomplished two objectives: No foggy mirror, and a warm post-shower environment (I cannot stand being cold after a shower). Factoring in occasional use by my wife, this heater was probably used 1000 times, 30 minutes per use, over 2 years in an extreme (100% humidity) environment. It quit, and I happily bought a new one. At a cost of less than 4 cents per 30 minute use in a harsh environment, I will happily continue to buy this heater.

Wow! We were so pleasantly surprised by what a difference this heater made in our drafty, poorly insulated bedroom. We live in an older home, so the winter nights were chilly! This heater completely warmed the room. It is small but mighty. You can change the settings easily. We love it!

I have been purchasing space heaters for 15+ years. One half of the upstairs gets almost no heat. I've had HVAC people out and learned it was a poor design. No possible inexpensive fix. So space heaters became my life. Most were in the $60-$70 range. My favorite had been an extremely expensive Vornado. UNTIL I was in Best Buy and felt this one working. I went home and thought about it for a day. I ordered one shipped (FREE) and it is nothing short of AMAZING. Best $30 you could spend. Even out performs the Vornado. Easily out performs all of the Lasko and Honeywells I have owned. I have also had two of the Presto Heat Dish area heaters and while it doesnt get as hot as they do, it has a fan which they do not have, and so the heat circulates much better.
If you need a space heater BUY THIS ONE. Has a temp control, auto off tip over. Works great.

The heater is small but powerful. Not a oscillate heater but does a great job. Love that you could set a time for the heater to shut off. No complaints.

This handy little heater is small; Fit and looks good in tight spaces. The heat spreads far enough to make a small room feel cozy. I like that there are temperature settings. You can adjust high or low depending on your preference. Moving underneath the heater, there is a switch. If the kids are being bad this holiday and knocked the heater over, this switch will automatically shut it off. No need to worry about burning floors out.
My only worry is that I don't know how long this heater will last. I hope it has many years left. But if you're looking for something affordable, safe, and for a small room. I highly recommend the Insignia Mini Heater.

This heater will take the chill out of a bedroom if the door is closed pretty quickly, but It's not very strong. I like that I can set a timer on it before going to bed.
