Portable Space Heater 1500W Energy Efficient Electric Personal Heaters with Adjustable Thermostat Indoor Use Tip-over Overheat Protection Small Room Quick Heating Maker for Camper, Office, Bedroom

BEFORE I WRITE A REVIEW I WANT TO BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU, OH IT'S PRETTY, I HOPE IT WORKS, THEN GIVE IT A 5 STAR RATING. THIS PRODUCT IS COMING UP FOR IT'S ONE YEAR REVIEW, PURCHASED 11/27/18. SINCE ITS PURCHASE IT'S BEEN USED TO HEAT OUR LAUNDRY AREA WHICH DOES NOT HAVE ANY REGULAR HEAT GOING TO IT. IT RAN ALL LAST WINTER AND IS RUNNING NOW. PROS: VERY COMPACT WITH AN ADJUSTABLE HEAT LEVEL. AUTO OFF WORKS JUST FINE WHEN IT'S KNOCKED OVER. HEAT WISE WE LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND IT GETS COLD, SOMETIMES BELOW ZERO. I MENTION TEMP WISE BECAUSE THAT'S RELEVANT TO WHERE YOU LIVE. SOMEONE FROM ALASKA WOULD SAY IT'S WARM, FOLKS FROM FL FREEZE...LOL. REGARDLESS AN UNHEATED AREA OF 490 CUBIC FT, (7X7X10), WITH THREE SIDES EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AND THIS THING JUST COOKS THE INTERIOR. 75F PLUS INTERIOR EVEN AT THE COLDEST OF DAYS. HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH FROZEN PIPES. IT RUNS FOR JUST PENNY'S A DAY. I PERSONALLY HAVE ALL GOOD TO SAY ABOUT IT. CONS: CAN'T GIVE IT MORE STARS! :) HOPE THIS HELPS

I like that it is simple, small, metal, and feels good on heat output. I like it overall and would buy it again.The fact that you need to put in 4 screws, 2 each for plastic handle and base, and that the tolerances require some forcing plastic to bend a little bit, are actually OK, I mean, it is just a one time thing if you own a Phillips tip screwdriver and understand plastic and pot metal joinery. It is just a little bizarre given that people don't expect to do this kind of thing.The fan stays on when it is turned on - which is probably a good thing, helps the thermostat react more quickly when the air is cold enough, and keeps it from being too hot if it tips - but it does make it harder to tell if it is heating or not, a 'heating indicator light' would have been a nice touch, and it not present. There is a power light that matches if the fan is on, but no visible change when heating clicks on and off, whether thermostatically or from the tip switch on the bottom.Personally, I like the thin metal which makes the unit smaller, more than the plastic that seems to be common on space heaters now. Recommended, if you're willing to screw the handle and base on, and understand that it is plastic and pot-metal.

A Tale of Two Heaters:MultiFun small yellow heater I paid $60.99 and free PRIME shipping. NOW as of 12/25/2017 it's $88.66 with extra shipping cost?https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074T9NKWZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1THE GOOD: The main case and the front and back grills are all metal.It throws a lot of heat for it's size - quickly. (Not as much as the Tenergy below but pretty darn good)It's small, probably one of the smallest heaters I've owned. It's "cute".The on/off rocker switch feels well made.The 3-prong power cord feels substantial.The thermostat works.The cord does not heat up and the plug barely heats up.THE BAD: You have to do some minor assembly (total of 4 philips screws) to attach...The base / feet are plastic?The gray handle on top is plastic?It has no tip over switch.It has no "Low" setting.It's pretty expensive, considering the competition (see the Tencent further below).I wished they had gone for it and 1) also made the base and handle out of metal 2) given it a low heat setting. Finally, if this had tipping / knockover protection I would give it 5 stars.I'm keeping this. I will probably end up using this for more "industrial" type purposes: Drying out components, heating sink /pipes on an outward facing INSIDE wall (at a safe distance of course) during ice storms.I WILL SAY: If you live in cramped quarters and don't have a lot of storage room, it may be worth your while to pay the extra for this uber TINY heater. It's the little engine that could.__________________________________ VS. ___________________________________________Tenergy 900W/1500W PTC Ceramic Heater with Auto Shut Off $39.99 PRIMEhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0757XK1BW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1PROS: It throws a LOT of heat, forcefully and quickly.It has a dial thermostat that works well.The 3-prong power cord feels substantial and well made. The housing feels substantial, sturdy and safe. I find this unit is not easy to knock over.It has two heat settings: HIGH (1500 Watt) and LOW (900 Watt) - this is a MAJOR BIG DEAL to me as:1) Sometimes you don't need more than the 900 Watts, just want to take the cold edge off. The Low setting doesn't make the room stuffy.2) Low 900 Watts setting can be more energy efficient if you don't need High.3) It's probably safer for long periods of time, although I won't run ANY space heater when I am not home or around to check on it.The actual heater unit is "nest mounted" (inner monted) in a "gimbal" / frame of sorts. It's set inside the fan housing "square". You can adjust the swivel in an up / down arc and direct the heat that way. I LIKE IT.SAFETY: I found that neither the cord nor housing got appreciably hot while heater was in use. BTW: Neither heater mentioned in this review has a built-in GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). But I would never use either unit outdoors or around water and I have a GFCI installed in my bathroom outlet. (If you don't have a GFCI currently installed in your bathroom electrical outlet(s), for safety sake I suggest making a point of getting one or more installed.) Also, I have read (IN OTHER PRODUCTS NOT THESE) that the CHEAP GFCI built-into-the-cord solutions sometimes cause more safety hazards than they solve (due to corner cutting / poor manufacture) so, the omission of GFCI in plug of these products does not bother me.4) This is substantially less money than the Multifun, albeit it's twice as large. However, it does not "take over" your living space like some heaters do, it's still compact.THE CONS: On High it emits a high pitched whine that eventually seems to reduce in output after a few minutes. Why it has to do this, I don't know. It eventually gets to I can live with it after a few minutes BUT, realize you may hear this every time the Thermostat cycles the unit on. You mileage may vary, what I find annoying, you may not. Also, this may just be my one unit. I have learned to ignore it as the heater is so terrific in every other way. I may very well buy a 2nd one._______________________________________________________A PLUS FOR BOTH UNITS: NEITHER HEATER put out any initial "burn off" or toxic noxious smell / odor like some heaters do at break-in time.They are both good heaters but I lean towards the TenCent as the best value.

This heater checks all the bullets on my wish list. It is compact, light weight, rugged, quiet and out performs any bathroom heater I have ever had.I don't know why other heaters are so large. The ceramic heating element here is the same size as other heaters that are twice as large. Compare photos with the others and you'll see what I mean. And the fan blows more air and is quieter than others I have had. No rattles, which I hate. So why buy a bigger one? This thing is made of metal, not cheap plastic, so it is rugged.I measured it and It draws a full 1500 watts. I measured my two other name brand 1500 watt heaters and they were only running at 1100 watts.Others have suggested here that the fan runs even when the switch is off. That is not true in the one I have (as of January, 2020). My guess is that some of the first ones were mis-wired. It should be easy to rewire those units.I highly recommend this heater.
