    The perfect little heater

    I guess you can count this as a 1 year post review since I bought this for myself a year ago. Still works like it did brand new. Heats up fast, especially a standard room with the door closed. I like the anti-tilt safety feature which is a simple design in which a button underneath protrudes and presses against the table that it sits on... Once the unit tilts or falls, the button extends and shuts the unit off as to not burn the carpet or material it lands on. Something most people look past but could save you from accidentally burning your house down especially if you have small children or pets that could accidentally knock this down without you knowing it. In the end I would definitely buy again, especially for the price. It cant be beat.

    The overall feel of the unit is light, but it heats well and has a safety button/spring on the bottom in the event the unit tips over. It will shut the unit off.

    I love those because-- 1. I save lot of money using less electricity for heating. 2. Small and effective: Take less space but works well, easily heat up my master bed room. 3. Fall proof and accident proof: Those are accident proof, if they fell down then they have auto shut option which prevent any accidental fire. 4. Study build: Made with hard materiel so they feel well built.

    My little bedside heater.

    It works great, i keep it on my bed side table so when i turn it on it blows directly on me, it blows strong on high, i leave it on only 10 min at most bc im warm already. It will shut off automatically if not stable. Truly worth it and can't beat the price.

    Good little heater if you have a small space, e.g., a bathroom, to heat temporarily. The Optimus portable heater is affordable and won't break your bank, which is good since most of these will only last a season or two. Works well, heats quickly, and the thermostat works to keep the heat about where you want it. Not a bad little heater for the money!

    I think it's adequate for a 100 sq ft room or maybe just a bit larger. I knew this when I bought it so it has lived up to my expectations. Good product for the price.

    This heater is great for a small well pump shed. The temp can be varied and the heat turns on and off when it get to the desire temp.

    Don't be fooled by it's size, this heater really kick's some serious heat out in any room, and its so quite. Should have bought some more and stored them because when I do find a good product and want to go buy it again that item is upgraded or not around any more, so if you want a quality heater that kicks out the heat and is quite, buy this baby you will be pleased!!

    Great value, but not super quiet (not loud either, just not quiet). It heats up a small room just fine.

    I am so happy I purchased this little heater, it came in hand for the winter, it tends to get kind of chilly due to landlord installed new cheap storm windows and it really doesn't keep the cold air out, so I bought this little guy and has not let me down it warms up my apartment very well and toasty.
