Fan Reviews

We had purchased this because it is advertised as cool touch cabinet. The problem is that the front panel is metal and gets too hot to touch after just a few minutes. The heat output is good, but not for use around infants, small children or pets who may get burned by the hot metal front.

I use this heater in a 120 sq ft apartment room and it works great w/the door closed. I only need to use it on the 6th setting out of 14 for "light long sleeve" weather. I usually leave it on the floor in it's "vertical" position. It usually takes about 20 minutes for the entire room to heat up. The thermostat control is really nice, so i don't have to touch it once I turn it on. The temperature remains constant.

I purchased this heater through ... on 12/18. Today just over 30 days I went to plug it in. One of the prongs broke off, so I can no longer plug it in and use it. Also possibly a fire hazard because of this. It looks like the heat broke it off. Not manufactured very well.

This heater is great for quickly warming up a cold bedroom or cold living room. It has fan-forced convection heat(no red-hot glowing elements), and puts out soft warmth. The safety features in this heater work great, and respond in 30 seconds or less if knocked over. However; this heater lacks a thermostat, which means that once you turn it on, you have to remember to turn it off, or it will keep running until it reaches it over-heat limit. Using this heater with a plug in appliance/lamp timer, rated at 1750 watts or better, 1875 watts makes this heater more useful. You can set a plug in, appliance/lamp timer to turn the heater on and off, and that means that you can use this heater when sleeping. For example, you set your timer(which you purchase seperately for about [amt])to turn the heater on at say, midnight, and then off at 1:00 AM. You could also set the timer, which you purchase seperately, to also come on again at 3:00 AM and go off a 4:00 AM. These are times after midnight when the house temp drops down to around 66 degrees in large bedrooms, for instance. I've been using a heater/fan similar to this one for about 2 months, at night, and it is worry free, and keeps you warm, even when the main furnace in your house doesn't come on any moret than twice an hour. The fan-only setting works great for cooling your room, primarily a bedroom in early spring and early fall. Good price, good economical heater, and easy to carry room to room. I do recommend that you buy a multi-program appliance timer with it though, for greatest flexibility in heating.

Overall, I would say that this heater has proved to be a good buy. As a college junior living in a dorm room the size of a walk-in closet, I wanted an affordable heater that would warm up my room fast and cheaply. On a chilly morning, as soon as I get out of bed I switch it on to heat up the room, and by the time I get back from the shower, it's warm and snug. This heater does not have a timer, and I had the unfortunate experience of leaving it on while I passed out to take a nap, only to be woken up by the suffocating heat. This heater is also quite loud, so if you have a noise-sensitive roommate, I would not advise it. The noise bothers me only when I'm trying to watch TV, but since it heats up the room so quickly, the inconvenience is worth it. Compared to all the other noise that goes on in my dorm building, I've gotten rather used to not minding it at all. The price is also a nice factor. The heater itself is very small, lightweight, and easy to travel with (a definite plus factor if you're both a pack rat and a college student like me). It also has a nice fan, another thing to consider when you have a small room that gets stuffy easily during the more warm and humid months.
