    This little heater is amazing! I was having issues with my apartment heating system, just as a cold front came through with temperatures into the 40s. That may not sound so bad, but it’s COLD in South Texas. I used this heater in my living room/kitchen area, around 700 square feet. It kept the rooms very comfortable. Highly recommended!

    Really good for small rooms and not too noisy as well. Also you can keep it all year round as just a fan as well.

    The unit will spin its fan to keep the room temp at the configured setting however, this is lretty loud. I believe it is loud enough to distrupt your sleep if you are a light sleeper. Do not recommend for your bedroom.

    Nice foot heater but not for whole rooms

    Based on previous reviews I wanted to like this portable heater but it just did not work for me. It is a really well made heater but IMO it should not be marketed as a "Whole Room" but rather just as "Space" heater. It works fine if you have your feet placed right in front of it, but if you are expecting it to heat up a tiny room this is NOT the space heater for you. It does heat up very quickly and will warm up your toes and thats about it.

    Blows warm air into the room and you don’t have to worry about burning yourself! Nice little remote and very light weight to use around your house. My favorite for small/medium sized rooms. What I like most about this is that because the fan is lower towards the ground, it allows heat to rise and heat the living room, and not just the ceiling. I’ve had central air heaters built into the ceilings and those don’t work as well because the heat just stays up near the ceiling.
