Excellent, simple, yet effective heater
The media could not be loaded. This heater does exactly what it is supposed to do, heat your home or space. There are no frills or digital features, the thermostat takes a little time to figure out what you should put it on. It only took me a couple days to figure that out. The heater is very quiet too, I only hear a very faint click when it does come on, but you have to be listening for it. If you are looking for something simple, easy to use, and a good value, this is your heater.

It works and it's simple.
We took over my in-laws home about 20 years ago. For the past 40 years, they (and we) have been buying cheap electric heaters to keep the well house warm in the winter. They last 2-3 years before they burn out from running 24/7 for 4 months straight each year. The fans suck dust in and we're always worried about a fire. I bought this 2 years ago and it's still running strong. Because it's a simple radiant heater, there's no moving parts to fail. It runs well for months at a time, keeping the well house betwixt 60 and 70 degrees, even with a stiff north wind blowing. Well worth the money.

Ouch that's HOT!
I purchased this in October of 2024 and wanted to wait until it got COLD before I left a review. This heater has wonderful output and heats most of my rooms on the lowest setting. Obviously, in rooms that are open, example, my living room and dining room are open concept, so it has to be on high which makes perfect sense.I have two things that keep this from being a 5-star item for me. They are the handle and the on/off light.The way the handle is positioned you need to put you fingers in the opening and your thumb on top to pull/push it where you want it. This causes you to put your thumb on the hot metal part of the unit. Also, the plastic handle part gets very warm and it uncomformable when trying to move it. To solve this and to allow us to move it when we want, I just keep an Ove glove nearby. Just wish I didn't have too.As for the on/off light it is so bright that in my bedroom it's glaring at me while I try to sleep. Solution, I put a piece of electrical tape over it. See red circle in photo.

Warm and easy to use
Product is as expected. We have been very careful with the buttons as some reviewers had issues with breakage. I was surprised by how warm this gets, setting 2 is very warm. You don’t want this around young kids as it definitely could burn someone if you touch or try to move the heater when it’s on. It seems safer than traditional space heaters for use in bedroom because you can turn it off before bed and the heater will continue to stay warm for a few hours. Pretty happy with it, but shipping delays meant we missed out on using it for the worst of our cold snap when we really needed some temperature boost to counteract the -30 Fahrenheit overnight temps.

Much better than a traditional space heater
I bought this to heat a back room in my garage for the cats. Didn't like the thought of having a regular space heater running all the time back there and also it used a ton of electricity. This heater is a great solution for safety and hopefully much more energy efficient. Just wish it had a digital thermostat.

Not much heat
First, I took it out and went to put wheels on. The one side no problem. Then the other side, I couldn't get the nuts off. The metal it was on ,turned as I turned the nuts. Looked all over, and got instructions, said it had wing nuts. There was no wing nuts. Not sure if some had used it and returned it. 2nd, the temperature is in the 50's, if u stand close and over it, you can feel heat.I order 2, and I haven't received the other one, yet. Returning it.Out of heaters, Dollar General store has one on small legs, that has wires running through it, cost about 35 to 45 dollars. It's the best one putting out heat.3rd, Heat rises, so why r vents around the top and blows straight up?Someone told me the oil heaters are good. I don't find this one good, I live in a small space.

Worked great for almost 2 years
I bought this in August 2022. At the time, and up until the unit totally stopped working a couple of weeks ago, I thought it was a very good buy. The heater is silent and does not draw a ridiculous amount of electricity. It provides a very good amount of heat for such a small unit, and works just like a conventional radiator in a house. The wheels/casters make moving the 20ish lb radiator easier, but it's not even all that heavy compared to other units. The controls felt a little flimsy, but they were fine to use, and usually I would just set the thermostat and leave the unit running automatically. I guess close to 2 years of regular use is all this unit is designed for. The "on" light still lights up when the unit is on, but no heat is produced. Unfortunately the warranty is only for 1 year.It would have received 5 stars if I reviewed it as it was shortly after I first bought it. I'd take one star off because it didn't last even a full 2 years, but I guess at this price point, that's not too bad. Products seem to be made cheaper and more disposable lately. Another star off because when I bought this, it was $67 on Amazon (confirmed in my orders), and now the price has ballooned to $95ish, so costing $30 more makes this unit less of a value proposition than it used to be. 3/5 total. Very good budget radiator. Works well, puts out a surprising amount of heat very quietly, and hopefully yours will last longer than mine did.
