I LOVE this heater!
I bought this heater because they keep the temperature so low at my work. Some days I can't even type because my fingers are so cold! I plug this little heater in every morning, and it keeps my cubicle nice and warm all day. I love that it has not only "Hi" and "Lo" settings, but also different temperature settings. The oscillating is another plus.
Note though, I don't plug this into my cubicle's outlet - that would more than likely cause a fire or power overload. I plug it into a wall outlet that is next to my cubicle.
Major design flaws
My unit is quiet and it does throw a lot of heat. The oscillating feature works well and appears to be robust.
The controls are incredibly simple and easy to use, with 1 button cycling through all combinations of power levels and temperature settings and 1 switch for oscillation.
However:
1. The thermostat and control unit at the top is poorly ventillated and is heated by the elements.
2. The control unit generates a lot of heat. This warms the temperature sensor as much as 10-20 degrees F above room temperature, so the heater will only warm the room to 60 to 70 degrees F at the highest setting of 80 F.
Of course this is a good thing if you want to save energy.
Holmes Space Heater
The Holmes Space Heater is what we expected-good. There was a pad on the bottom (1 of 4) missing when I received it. Holmes sent me a another heater.
