small but powerful
I could be jinxing myself by writing this review, but this is the first space heater I've owned that hasn't flaked out on me after a few months - I've had this one for about two years and I use it virtually every weekday at work since my office is like a meat locker. It's small, puts out a good amount of heat and it's fairly quiet - though just loud enough that I think of it as doubling as a white noise machine, which for my work setting is very useful. It has a thermostat and two heat settings (though frankly I can't feel the difference between them so I just keep it on "1"). Probably not good for use around children/pets; aside from the obvious dangers, this unit is also very small and lightweight and could be easily tipped over.
Update 10/18/13: 1 year later and it's still functional after almost daily use! Upgraded from 4 stars to 5. :D
Powerful but compact
As another reveiwer noted, this is not a safety heater. If you have small children or pets, you will want larger sized heater that is designed to not get too hot to the touch. This is very powerful heater, and due to its small compact size the heat is concentrated all in one small area, which understandably gets very hot. I like this heater a lot, and I previously purchased 3 of them. The controls are straighforward and functional, the size is small, and it looks sharp. Unfortunately one of the 3 stopped working after 1.5 years, thus my 4 star rating instead of 5.
Bought a second heater because we liked the first so much.
Excellent space heater! Used in 1-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles for cool desert nights in fall/spring and cool days and nights in winter. Never even lit the pilot light for the wall-mounted heater in the apartment. Moved to NJ and use the heater in my office at work. Bought a second one for the 2-bedroom apartment. Great for bedrooms and even medium-sized living rooms.
