    I don’t even know why anyone would buy this. Does it turn on? Yes it does. Does it work? It works. But that’s it. It’s a heater for like a few inches. That’s it. This shouldn’t be this expensive. It’s a personal heater and should cost like $30.

    It does a good job for small rooms, less than 240sf. Very quiet at the low speed setting. The high speed setting sounds like a small fan. Not annoying but is noticeable.
