The heater was working fine for few days and then I saw oil leaking from one of the fin in 3 weeks. Best Buy said they cannot take it back. I had to call the manufacturer for the item. That’s what they said.

I like the size, and way you can regulate the temps. It works well for the room it's in. (120 sq. ft.)
I would buy it again if I needed another one.

Pretty good unit. Great unit for the Cost. (other similar ones are more $) Works well, especially in a small room. No fan, so no noise, and is pretty efficient. Only thing that could be improved would be an actual Thermostat, vs. a variable dial. (I think Temp range depends on ambient temp in the room?, or how hot the unit gets, until turns off, not necessarily the temp in the room) But in general works very well, especially for keeping a bedroom warm at night, or office warm during the day.

Good while it lasted... which was about 18 months. Long enough to get me through 2 winters. Then it started to leak, small amount and only when warm. But it's useless after that.
I appreciated the ability to choose High, Low or Medium. Most others in this segment only offer High or Low.
Got it on sale for fifty American dineros.

Bought a couple of these and they heat up a few rooms decently. I like radiators much better than central heating and these definitely help keep the rooms I want warm instead of keeping multiple rooms at the same temp. The wheels aren't awful but they do crack easier than I expected.

An efficient way to heat your room.

By far the most efficient way to heat a room and not cause your electric bill to sky rocket. I hear a 1700 sq ft ranch style home with just two of these heaters and don't have to turn my central heat on unless the tempature drops below 30 ° for more than a day or two. Another plus is that these heaters don't dry the air out like kerosene heaters do. As far as their quality goes we have been using them for 6 years and the only reason I had to buy a new one is because I gave one to a friend that didn't have a way to heat their house.

Takes a minute to warm up but will heat a medium sized room fairly well. Doesnt disperse heat well but thats to be expected with a radiatior type heat supply.

It's okay and works fine. However, the wheels are not the best. They do not roll very well and get caught in my carpet when I try to move them around. If you're going to leave them in one spot it should be fine. I have older ones of a different brand where the wheels seem to be a better quality and roll much smoother if I want to move it.

Efficient way to heat a room

Through research i’ve learned thay oil filled radiators are among the most efficient way to heat a room. It doesnt heat up super fast but when it gets warm it retains heat well and will keep the room at a nice cozy temperature. It is great for the bedroom to keep the room at a steady temperature through the night rather than a heater that will probably get you too hot at some point in the night. It will continue to radiate heat after its unplugged too. Great value for the money.

Awesome little radiator heater!

This little radiator heater works great! We have a pretty big bathroom with large windows and it tends to get chilly in there in the winter. We turn this on medium about 15-20 minutes before a bath or shower to take the chill off and it does the trick.
We also have an 8x10 ft gym that we haven’t had insulated yet. Needless to say, that space gets cold when the temperatures drop below freezing. My youngest is just a few months old, so we need to have it warmer while we are out there for her. Again, this little heater came to the rescue!
I am pretty bummed that it’s no longer available at the moment! I wanted to order another one so we didn’t have to move it back and forth from the house to the gym out back.
I 10/10 recommend this heater for small spaces. With how warm our bathroom gets with it, I’m sure it would keep a larger space fairly warm too.

It does put out heat but it's slow to warm up and doesn't provide enough heat to warm up the small space

I would rate it a 1.5 stars out of 5. Reasoning for this low rate is that the oil leaks out of it overnight of it being in use. Another thing to keep in mind is that it takes a little while to warm up you’re room depends on the size of it but it takes about an hour or two to warm up for me
