    Its ok for the price .. wouldn't call it whole room by any means ..sucks alot of electricity for how much it heats. Much smaller than anticipated . Buy something bigger if your room is over 6x6.

    Nice heater. But would love if it could be tilted to point upwards. It has a fan but only blows straight and towards the ground.

    Seems solidly built with a reasonably strong fan, but for those looking for heat - this one comes up a little short. Not too mention this is only the size of a small fan, with no option to change angle or tilt so if you have a counter or raised area to place it on, it would certainly work better. As for me, I was using this in a small bathroom and still felt the heat to be inadequate.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this heater. Works great in my bedroom. Don't avoid the thermostat even though you may have to move the heater to get a good reading.
