NewAir AH-400 Portable Space Heater, White

Love the quiet radiant heat from this little unit compared to a fan style space heater which I find drying and noisy. I was especially glad to find a slim panel shape compared to the other options - a perfect fit for under a desk without being bulky. Unlike the other reviews, my unit DID come with feet to stand the panel up... happy with it!

I wanted something slim to keep in my upstairs bathroom and something that did not draw alot of power. This unit is quite slim and 400 watts max. There's a dial so I guess if you turned it halfway you'd be using 200 watts approx. Heats up quickly and silently and quite does the job in my 7x5 bathroom. You are not supposed to get it wet- it says on the box don't use it in the bathroom. But use some common sense and don't splash it, don't keep it too close to the sink, and turn it off n move it away from the shower before showering. It makes no noise at all while it is warming up or maintaining heat. The only noises it makes are when you turn it off. Then it makes some decently loud clicks every couple of minutes for about 10 or 15 minutes. No big deal. Would be nice if there was another handle on it so you could pick it up with two hands to move it. Some have complained about the legs not being sturdy. I had a little bit of difficulty getting the legs to snap on as they should, but did triumph in the end, and it is quite sturdy. Would recommend for other small rooms or as a personal heater... next to bed, next to couch, etc. Very nice, very happy with purchase.UPDATE 2/8/2018. Still working well for my bathroom. Helps out a lot before getting in the shower in the morning, as I turn the heat down to 68 at night. My bathroom, and the rest of my upstairs is like 60 degrees on a cold morning (upstairs 60, downstairs 68- bad insulation I guess) and this little heater does a great job of quickly getting my bathroom close to 70 by the time I get in the shower. Also, tho I don't take HOT showers, this heater also keeps the mirror from fogging up, and I lay my semi-wet towel across it when I finish drying off (turning off the heater and not covering the vent.) Does a nice job too of warming my socks up when I get home from work. Update: 10/22/14...... I have recommended this heater to a few people. It's a shame there are a few bad reviews here JUST due to some of the heater's feet. Some older models had plastic feet and this caused issues with breaking legs and instability. Mine are metal, and have caused me no issues whatsoever- never had to re-adjust the feet. If you are on the fence about buying it, don't be. Update 1/13/2016......Ordered another one for my drafty kitchen for mealtime. Checked the feet on both units- I am pretty sure they ARE plastic! Magnets slide right off. My apologies to those I may have offended. Sounds and feels like metal when you tap it. Very strong though, and I have had zero issues with it. I guess a few people got duds.

Love this little thing. Been using for about one month now. Throws off quite a bit of heat for 400 watts. Heats both sides, front and back. Heats me and the things around me as it is radiant heat. Easy to move with the handle when running. Thermostat knob allows for adjusting heat. The feet give enough space from floor for carpets and don't fall off when you move it. I run off the top of my solar batteries during the day and it doesn't even use the battery and just running off the solar panels. Registers at 396-400 watts (120 VOC, 3.3 amp), so wattage is right on. And on the wattage, this is a 400 watt heater so you don't want to expect that of 1500 watt heater, Energy usage is that of about six lightbulbs, but it really throws a lot of heat for a 400 watt heater. Great bang for the buck and fits in small places. A $$$ saver even if you are not running on solar. I can feel it pretty well at about 2 2/3 to 3 ft. Ran the thermometer gun on it and runs at about 205-215 degrees fahrenheit on both sides of the plate front AND back. You have to wait a couple minutes for it heat you and the stuff around you as it is radiant heat. Works great as supplement heat and to provide heat where I am. Would be able to run all night if needed on the solar batteries if there was an emergency power outage. Radiant oil heat means no blower, quiet and no more dried out skin, hair and eyeballs from a hot air heat blower fan. That is a big deal as I do a LOT of computer work and eyeballs get sore enough. Well built and I would expect years of heat from this baby. Will take good care of it for summer storage. Bought more solar so ordered another New Air heater today and will probably buy another as they can be placed where I need them and to helps offset exploding home heating and electricity costs (thanks biden). Quite happy with the performance of the New Air heater. I guess they say there is no better compliment to retailer than a return customer. Appreciate new air for the ingenuity of low wattage and quality. Really happy with this heater. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a low watt heater.

Pretty big power output for such a small unit. Very light and portable, good form factor (thin), responsive (quick to heat up and cool down). Note that there is no insulation, so the radiator gets very hot. It's also fairly easy to tip over, but again consistent with the minimalist design. It is perfect for a "personal" application like under a desk. Probably not ideal to have around small children.

Sticky label on unit AND operating Instructions which come with the Newair portable 400-watt Under Desk Heater both say:1. Place the heater on a firm, level surface free from obstructions, and at least 3 ft. away from objects such as furniture, curtains, plants or combustible material.My desk is facing against a wall so the heater would need to be placed against the wall made of drywall. Drywall can combust.Revised review.I was going to return it but my friend said to try it. I keep it about 8 inches from the wall and turn it on about half way. It doesn't get too hot and it is saving my knees which get too much pain when they feel cold. It's silent and my only complaint is about the flimsy feet and wish the thermostat was more sensitive. Heat does not go out the side only from front and back. It should not be touched on metal, it will burn. Though it is under my card-table desk, the top of desk does not get too hot. I am glad I bought it. It's much better than the noisy fan heater I had before.second update: the foot started cracking in the middle. I wrote the supplier and replacement feet were sent to me immediately. No hassle. I like this company. I like the heater.
