    Ive been searching high and wide for a heater that could even been 50% of what this little guy can do!! I literally have had to keep it at its lowest temp because its just too good at its job!! The remote is just an added plus even without it this product would be amazing! Highly recommended just buy it you wont regret it!

    I purchased this space heater to cover a small portion of my one-story home as the insulation is rough in the winter. It's done a great job of warming areas in my home, while also leaving me wishing it was a bit stronger. The ability to set a timer and a fan function also allow us to be mindful of when we are running it. Altogether, I would recommend this space heater - just be aware of the proper space you need heated.

    Perfect. It does an amazing job of quickly heating up a room. Simple to operate. The fan makes a little noise but not enough to annoy

    I was genuinely surprised by how effective this dmall heater is. While my previous space heater produces warmer air, this one is fantastic for heating a large room to a aet temperature. It circulates that warm air fantastically and the remote is useful.

    Apartment furnace was on the fritz. Purchased this heater and it worked like a charm. Nice and comfy! A little noise on high but not that annoying.

    It works well and it is good that it does not shut off...but it is too small for even a small room and too expensive for its size.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Small space heater that rapidly heats entire room with temperature control settings. Has a tilt safety feature that turs off heater if moved accidentally.

    Quite heater and warms to temp. Great for the office, the garage gym or just a cooler room of the house. My daughter likes it when she comes home from college to control her room in an older part of our home.

    This is one of the best heaters I have had. Great fan speed and coverage. Really warms up the room. Price is excellent for what you get. Top tier budget friendly space heater, otherwise you might need to step up to a Dyson.

    It works but takes time...

    I bought this heater hoping it would heat up the entire room. It does, don't get me wrong, but it takes a bit of time before the room reaches 80 degrees (according to the heater). Since my room was very cold it would of course circulate the cold with within itself and blowing cold air back at me which makes sense. It takes about 25 minutes till this heater warms the room but yet the room was still cold but bearable at least. It would take longer for my room to reach 80 degrees (according to the heater). Should I return it? I should since I want a heater that heats up the room with little time. But this heater is good for night time use but in early mornings is too long to do it's job.
