instant controlled heat in a very ligh weight packahe
My heater was delivered this week to my lake front cottage in northern Maine. WE have no heat and little insulation and usually depart for Florida by mid Oct. Our low was 37 last night and our little heater kept me very comfortable as I read well onto the night. When I went to bed, I brought the 5 pound heater into the bedroom and it me very comfortable all night long. I am impressed with the amount of heat this little heater produces and I am impressed with a simple safety feature.....if the machine is not in an upright position, a simple gravity switch shuts off power and eliminates the risk of fire. I am ordering 2 additional units tomorrow. Agreat solution at a great price.

So far, so good
After giving this a pre-winter test run, all seems well. It is a well constructed, solid product, and I hope it works out as expected. To be honest, I won't know for sure until the return date has passed, so we'll see if I'm happy or pissed off :)
I'll issue a follow-up after the cold sets in.
BTW, this does not need to heat a lot of space; just by my computer which is next to a large sliding glass door which tends to allow some drafts. But set on low (one of the nice multi-function beauties of this) it seemed to work just fine.
After some use: It performs very well, and I'd like to add an operational tip; don't place it too close to you, thinking it will be warmer. Not true. If you're sitting in a chair and the unit is on the floor, place it about 3 feet away, otherwise the heat will travel underneath you. Allowing that 3 feet will let the heat rise up to you. Hope this helps.
Perfect for my apartment!
After my old space heater died I began looking for a new one and I am so happy with this purchase! My dog likes to sit in front of the heater (supervised) but with my old heater if it got knocked over it wouldn’t automatically turn off. This heater has a button that only allows the heater to turn on when it it standing up on a surface (carpet/wood floors both work). I still am very cautious when using this heater but I love the safety features and different heat settings that this one has!
Hey, do you want to get warm??
Do not allow the small size of this heater fool you. This little think can crank some heat! It will run you out of the room if you put it on full blast.
It’s an excellent heater for the price. It has a thermostat button so that you can lower the heat output depending on your comfort level. It is good for an office space, dorm room, house bedroom, or a living room space! This little thing is very versatile. It even has a knockover feature where it shuts off if it’s not in the upright position.
We bought it for our rancher home on our farm. We bought two since we don’t have central heating. They’re perfect. We move them around with ease wherever we need to knock the chill off of the air (I.e.: bathrooms in the morning, bedrooms when children are napping, etc.) or when we are in those rooms for a while, as stated above.
Pick yourself up one of these little heaters and enjoy the winter season — pennies on the dollar; instead of running central heating into all rooms, including you’re not currently using. It’s a great way to minimize cost and heating waste, targeting your heat!
Works great and keeps my kids room toasty warm!!
Holy cow! I read some reviews that said not to purchase this for heating a full room but this thing packs a punch. I use it to heat my toddlers room right before bed so we don't have to run the heat throughout the whole house and after about 25 minutes in their originally freezing cold 10x11 room it's toasty warm! After the room is heated up I unplug it and bring it into my living room so the kids don't play with it and the handle is great for transport. I plan to buy two more in the future, one for my living room/kitchen combo (14x16 + open concept 14x18 kitchen, takes about 45 minutes to heat it up) and another for the playroom (same size as bedroom, same time to heat it up).
Compact heater that really works!
This compact heater really works! I am so surprised on how hot this heater works! We use it to heat our bathroom. I am not sure how durable it is because I just received the item. It is also light weight and doesn’t look to bulky. I have a 26 oz lotion in the picture to compare the size. Hope this helps!
It’s a little piece of wonder!
I am unable to use my central heat cause my penthouse gets very hot even in the cold Fall weather here in Illinois. I was looking for portable heat to warm the rooms downstairs up and I found this with mixed reviews and decided to give it a shot. I’ve used it for a couple of weeks now and it’s amazing how much heat this little piece generates.
I also love that it auto turns off if it’s not on a stable surface. I had bought other portable heaters in the past but nothing compared to this. The only downside is that it doesn’t oscillate but maybe it shouldn’t given it’s small size.
I already bought a second one for my office to replace the one I use there already.
Warmed up my medium size apartment living room
I spent 30 minutes looking for an affordable, safe and warm enough space heater. I read these reviews and decided it was worth trying. First off the price is great. Second I am pleased with the tip over sensor, as I bumped into it a few times, and it turned off and stayed off. The shipping was quick and opening the box there were no signs of damage. I was worried about how small it was because where I needed to put it was a little bigger than it was intended to for. But this small space heater is very powerful. The heat that blows out is very hot. In about 20-30 mins the room was comfortable. I will definitely buy another
Great Product! Highly Recommended!
I'm a travel RN who is currently living in a 21ft camper through fall in Maine... MUCH different from FL weather! LOL! With my heating system it takes propane to heat both the water I need to take a shower and also to heat the inside of the camper, so this device will allow me to save my propane for just my showers. This device is small, and as you can see by my second photo that's all the setting of heat that I need to heat this entire camper, it also runs very quietly and does not disturb me or my rest. The safety features are great! Highly recommended! Set up was easy - take it out of the box and plug it in!
Second time buying
I love this space heater! Its small but powerful! Ive never had to use it to its maximum features with heat or speed. I live in the basement and i go room to room with it. My electric bill barely goes up and i have this running all night. I bought one of these last year to reduce my gas spiking with the thermostat and i used it for the heat in winter then as a fan in summer! Def better as a heater but still useful. I used it so much it died so i bought another one for this winter. It heats up my bedroom very fast. If it is picked up or if it falls it will automatically turn off which i appreciate. I recommend this for an economically priced, small, powerful space heater.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for camping

Took this on a camping trip out of state and boy did it come in handy. We were already going to leave this heater in our camper because the size of it is just perfect. We can store it easily in a cabinet in our trailer because it really doesn't take up much space. Where we were camping, at first it was with a sunny blue sky. Overnight it got cold and snowed. We packed accordingly but it was still a bit chilly. Luckily this little heater was with us. We plugged it in and within about 30 minutes, our whole trailer was nice and warm. We had it set on high to help heat up the place but after that, we had it set on low. If this does accidentally get knocked over, it has a feature on it that it will turn off automatically if it is not sitting flush on the bottom. What I love about this is whether you need it for heat or not, there is a fan option that blows out air that does help cool things down a bit. We had this on our table and then on our counter. I was afraid that there might be some heat that would radiate underneath and might warp our table or counter but that never happened. The underneath of this heater never gets too warm that it causes the bottom to get too hot, which is really nice. Great heater for camping and I can definitely see this working for a bedroom or even an office. Easy to carry too.

Even though we live in a drafty 150+ yr old farmhouse, this portable space heater has performed beyond all our expectations by far! Our bathroom is small (6'x10') especially by today's standards. I turn this heater on, then start the water filling my bathtub & before I get in the tub I have to turn this heater off or else my entire bathroom turns into a sauna (like in the movie "Blues Brothers"!) After living here 30+ years I really have to admit bathing is much more enjoyable & relaxing when you don't have to first break the ice on your bath water or worry about your wet feet sticking to the ice cold floor when you emerge from the tub.
As far as the appliance itself...it's not real small but definitely not big, bulky, or heavy to move. It shuts off immediately when picked up or tipped over & puts out plenty of heat...this is NOT the heater to use under your desk at work (unless you want to melt your socks or polyester slacks.) Because this is such a mighty little giant of a heater, it may end up being used in our bigger, drafty kitchen, & we may get a smaller one for our bathroom. The only complaint we have so far is that it's a little noisier than I'd prefer especially when taking a long, meditative soak. Hubs didn't even notice the noise during his shower... but then he is a guy after all. ?? LOL

I purchased this small ceramic heater for my 5th wheel trailer, primarily for while it is in storage to keep it dry and to prevent freezing of the water pipes in the kitchen and bathroom. It is protected by a tip over switch that turns off the heater in the event it should tip over for any reason. It also has a very good temperature control that can be used to keep if from freezing in the trailer or when we are actually camping to save on not having to use our propane to heat the trailer. Even though the ceramic heater is so small it keeps our 31' trailer toasty warm on even the coldest of nights. Highly recommend for anyone that needs a small, portable heater.

My sitting room is over unheated basement storage and can get really cold in the morning. But this little heater really warms it up quickly. I turn it on before I make my coffee, and there's a noticeable difference by the time I sit in there to sip it. I leave it on for a few hours, then turn it off until the next morning.

Y’all this is the best small space heater I’ve ever had! When it came in the mail and I opened it was skeptical that it would be able to warm our bedroom since we have a sliding glass window and when it gets cold here in the desert it feels really cold! But not only was this super easy to set up, use and regulate but it kept us super warm. Now, I also have a cat that is notorious for knocking things over for fun and of course this heater was no different. I made sure to put her near it while i was there just Incase it wouldn’t shut off. As promised the moment it wasn’t perfectly flat it instantly kicked off so I feel pretty confident it won’t light our house on fire! Such a handy heater!!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2022

This thing is little and the wire is nice and long. You can keep it tied up if you don't need the extra line.
Heat: Great. I have a small bedroom on the 2nd story of a 100+ year old house and there is one steam radiator up here and it is not in my room. My house does not have great wiring, either. I plugged this in, very worried, but after about half an hour (with my door half closed) my room was toasty! It can literally go to negative thirty where I live and this has been wonderful.
It's very safe. I have an older cat and she didn't like it at first (she doesn't like the heated fan) but she is coming around. I have it near my bed.
Tip, the higher this is, the faster the heat disperses and the better it is. When you pick it up or move it at all, it will automatically turn off until it is sitting upright & flat again. I tested this myself outside. You can actually turn on a regular fan, too and it will cool off the entire device in no time. I always unplug it but it's just a safety thing I've had forever. Anyways, this thing with a heating pad under your back when it's like negative 12 outside, it's just wonderful. When your whole 'world' around you stops at 4pm, it's nice to have a little extra warmth and this thing is just perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars A preliminary review-- excellent.
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2022

A marvelous product (so far-- if it fails prematurely, I'll return to report that).
Very intelligently designed and manufactured. Intuitive controls, a good safety mechanism, and plenty of options to customize for your situation.
The thermostat is hair-trigger, turning the heater on and off very regularly so that a steady temperature is maintained.
While this model is meant for small areas, it's kept my entire studio apartment very comfortable since the beginning; it takes a few minutes to bring heat from the element, but the fan is generous and it's surprising how efficient the item is.
Of course, I should say that I live in an area of the country that's not at all cold as we think of it. The coldest overnight temperatures are in the low forties, so the heater isn't really pressed much, I realize.
The only thing that gave me doubts was something we run into all the time in Chinese products: very strange language in the instructions and product literature. Apparently, the authorities in China don't value the English language much-- but in this case, it doesn't matter.
An excellent value, in my opinion. Very happy with the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super heater!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2022

This little heater is a household necessity…..even if you already have a good whole house system.
We live in Southern Calif, but in our area it gets down into the 30s on a regular basis at night in the winter.
It’s expensive to heat every room of my 2500sq ft home.
So - I have two of these heaters at my house….one in our 300sq ft bedroom and the other in our equally large den.
We can keep our overall temp set at 68° and use this little space heater for the individual rooms we inhabit most often.
It will keep a room at an even 73°. When it reaches our comfort zone, we turn the +\~ dial down until the fan stops. The temp is set and the heater regulates the room for us automatically.
The heater is efficient and VERY cost effective. My energy bill has dropped significantly using this method.
In fact, It works so well I sent one to my friend who lives in the Arizona mountains. It gets cold there and her house lacks central heating. Her top household temp using a different brand of heater (tower type) only reaches 53°. …… that’s too chilly for anybody.
I sent her this little gem and she can now keep each room - with this heater alone - at 70°!!
She’s a happy, warm camper at this point and I am thankful there’s a product out there that works this well! Her electric bill is more reasonable too.
I highly recommend this product!

5.0 out of 5 stars Space warms up quickly
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2021
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
Does not disappoint. Works way better than we could have imagined!!
We use the space heater as a supplemental heat source for our 31' Class C motor home. It's around 200 square feet and with the slides out space is expanded to almost 400 square feet. Doing it this way keeps us from having to use the generator or the electric heat of the RV, which is noisy and annoying.
Living in a north Midwestern state it gets cold in the winter. Outside temps are typically 10°F colder. As example, recently outside temps was around 47°F, inside temp was 55°F. We ran the engine of the RV to jump start the heat up to 70°F (took about 30 min), shut off the engine, and used the space heater to maintain the heat temp. Running it full blast gets it up to 85°F and beyond really fast.
By trial and error, we figured that once we get to our comfortable heat temp (which is about 70°F-75°F, we adjust the left knob just until it turns off and leave it there for the duration that we stay in the RV. The space heater maintains the heat excellently!!!
Love the safety feature. If it turns or tips over, unit shuts off.
Love, love, love the unit and intend to get two more for our home and use it in the basement.

Yes we in Arizona are cry babies when it's cold (and cold is 46-60 degrees) but when you're used to 120, 40 is cold. I got this so I didn't "waste" using my unit on heating the whole house, when I only need my bedroom warm at night... I have not turned my heat on but baby 5x this winter because I'm in Arizona, but I do use this in my bedroom at night for "winter" months. My house can be 67 degrees, but my room is perfect. I don't realize how much it actually warms the room until I walk out and feel how cold the rest of the house is! I love the quiet hum it makes, I honestly think it helps me sleep better. I recommend also using a humidifier, what I found was when I don't, and sleep with my door closed, I wake up with an extremely dry throat and nose, but as far as heat goes it's great, its so small but you'd be surprised how large of a room it can keep warm!

Regarding your wonderful little portable Give Best Ceramic Heater, it's truly a wonderful little heater. I will give it a 5 star rating at Amazon!
However, I want to direct your attention to the instruction manual. There is a significant typographical error which is misleading about an important feature of your great product.
Under Thermostat Instructions (in English), bullet item #4 starts: "The heater will NOT automatically maintain the set temperature...". This contradicts the Spanish language instructions which says that the unit WILL AUTOMATICALLY maintain the set temperature. (The product reviews on Amazon seem to corroborate that the unit WILL AUTOMATICALLY maintain the set temperature).
Outstanding product. Well made. Light. Easy to use. Prime delivery was same day and it was a lifesaver.
True story. Heater went out around 10pm. Too late to do anything about it (nighttime temperature was 38). First thing next morning I ordered this heater (around 5AM). Amazon Prime stated " same day " delivery.
Every local repairman was booked until next day. Nervously waited for the Portable Electric Space Heater from Amazon Prime. It was delivered around 8PM. (Cold and raining).
Small senior citizen condo complex, units about 800 square feet. Heater kept us warm in our small front room until bedtime. At bedtime we set it up in the bedroom and we were perfectly comfortable throughout the night.
Thank YOU!
Namaste. Carpe Diem

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2021
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
I'm really so pleased with this heater. I had seen some mixed reviews but decided to give it a try. I followed the instructions explicitly as to where to place it and how to set the thermostat. As directed, I let it run until the room was warm enough (didn't take long and heated up fine, unlike what some of the other reviewers stated) and then moved the thermostat knob down until the heater cut off. It stayed off for a while, then started back up and stayed on until the room was getting too warm (I had let it get too warm to begin with). I turned the thermostat down a bit more till it cut off. This time it cycled on and off perfectly. It is now maintaining a temperature I'm very happy with. BIG difference in the comfort level of working in this room even from when I was turning the regular furnace thermostat up and heating the entire second floor. I normally keep the heat on this floor at 60 since we prefer it cool at night and there are only bedrooms up here. So in the morning I was turning it up to 68 (which for me still wasn't warm enough to comfortably sit here all day at the computer) and then having to remember to turn it back down at the end of the day. It is surely more efficient to use this space heater than running heat for the entire floor up and down. I'm hoping the space heater continues to work since several reviewers mentioned early failures. If that happens I will return to downgrade my review. So, fingers crossed, this is great so far.

I live in apartments that I’m surprised have electricity. The heat barely works, so I sit around in multiple layers, including a winter coat usually. I decided to see if there were any heaters that could help. So I ordered this since it’s not a million dollars.
Well when I get it and see how small it is, I almost immediately requested a refund for me to send it back and return it. However we had a foot of snow on the ground, and my heat wasn’t doing anything. I decided to turn it on. Now I NEVER expected such a little heater could be SO AMAZING. It works better than my ACTUAL heat. I really think I fell in love with this thing. I can feel my toes again in my apartment and be able to not wear gloves all the time.
This heater is an absolute MUST BUY.
I have little dogs, so I was worried they could knock it over and cause a fire. But then I realized that with the safety feature on the bottom, it shuts off IMMEDIATELY upon tilting it. Not to mention if it gets too hot, it turns itself off.
I never write reviews on here, but I’m not joking when I say you NEED this heater.

After living through a brutal and unprecedented winter storm in Texas in 2021, I started prepping alternate or supplemental heating sources for the winter. As a bonus, I was using it in my small home office because I’m generally cold there; however we got hit with another cold front this month and I am thrilled with how the heater has performed.
The downstairs of my house is one open floor plan, about 20’ x 15’, including kitchen, living and dining areas, no walls. We have high ceilings and a lot of windows and I have been worried that in deep cold snaps, it would leak heat.
We finally got the cold snap, and this little workhorse has proven its merit. Even at half heat on the first level, it keeps the downstairs living area warm. On level 2, we’re quite toasty without having to turn up the thermostat.
I’m really pleased with this heater; it has exceeded my expectations and kept our heating bill low while keeping the house warm.

I've used heaters ordered from Amazon for many years. I've always kept a back up incase the heater failed. I just realized that last time a heater failed, I didn't order a backup. I use the heater in my bathroom which is always cold. This heater heats up the bathroom from 64 to 70 in minutes. My previous heater never seemed warm the bathroom sufficiently. With my old heater, it had to be pointed directly at me to feel the heat. With this new heater, I have to point it away from me because of how hot the air is. With my old heater, there were two speeds. When I put it on the high setting, it smelled like something was burning and, in fact, that's when the heater failed. On the new one, there's no need to use the higher setting. The noise when the heater is on is far from quiet but it's not over powering.

My office does not have a thermostat in it so consequently the room is usually very, very cold. I thought I would try this brand since the reviews were excellent and sure enough this little heater generates plenty of heat for my needs. I also appreciate the safety features- even if you are just picking up the unit to move it it shuts off! An important consideration and this is small in size so it can go on the floor under your desk or it can sit on your desk - it has a small footprint. The little fan can be adjusted up or down as well as the heat setting. This is a great little heater that won’t break your budget and is amazingly simple to use! Very important for a technically challenged person like me! I would recommend this heater to anyone looking for a small space heater to warm a office or any small area that’s uncomfortably cold.

I am always cold in the winter but I hate space heaters because they always get too hot even though they have high/low settings. I feel like they just don't work, I'll set it on low, get over heated, end up having to turn it off and then I gets cold again....over and over again. I am also clumsy by nature so I end up running into things, tripping over things, knocking things over. BUT.....right now I am sitting at my desk with this little heater tucked underneath where I can't trip over it and if I kick it over (which hasn't happened yet but absolutely will) it turns off (I did knock it over on purpose to see if it worked). I also love the fact that it will turn itself off when the unit gets too hot internally. It is 100% me proof. It is a perfect little heater for the office.

I bought this for my husband to use in his office. He likes it a lot, it works well for the room size. However, this little heater literally saved us during the Texas freeze last month. Our outside spigot was frozen, we used this on the opposite side of the garage wall and defrosted it and were able to get the water running again throughout the house. Without it, it would’ve been the domino effect with the freezing, starting with the outside spigot. Eventually our power went out for 3 days so we could no longer use it, but it came in clutch when we really needed it. Our pipes were empty anyways by that time since the city turned the water off completely.

I purchased this in March, when it was snowing every day and now that we're back into the lower 30's during the day, I'm glad the unit is still working as expected. I sit upstairs and run it in the bathroom and it's actually enough to keep most of my upstairs warm. (I keep the bathroom and office open, but all other doors closed.) If I run it in the living room, where it's a larger area, it doesn't make the room hot, but it sure makes it comfortable. I've been able to save a little on my gas bill because of it.

I'm able to turn the heat down and have this aimed right at me. It's SO warm and makes me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I love the safety feature on it because I'm usually pretty paranoid about space heaters, but I have no worries with this one! I even aimed it at the dog (within a good distance) and she really enjoyed the heat as well! You can even feel it from 6 feet away.
It's seriously such a great heater, and I'm so glad I made this purchase for my fiancé and for me to steal and use here and there!

This is not a paid review. When this arrived I was concerned because it is small and my other space heater is a tower model. I need not have worried, this little heater packs a punch! It has temperature control and if it is knocked over it shuts right off. It really puts out the heat. You can direct it toward you feet or legs if it is on the floor, or point it out towards the general area that you want heated. The other day it was 48 in my small living area and after about 30-45 min, it was up to 65 degrees! I do notice if it is colder it may take a little bit longer, for the whole room to heat, but this is a powerful little heater and it works much better than any other space heater that I have ever owned. I highly recommend it!

My boyfriend and I disagree on what temperature is appropriate for the thermostat. I've been crying every morning when I get dressed. Not any more!! I plug this little heater in the bathroom, crank it to high, let the dog out, and when I come back, the bathroom is nice and toasty! No more tears for me! Mind you, I have the smallest bathroom ever, probably 4' x 7', so I can only speak to how this heater works in a small space. But for a little heater, it puts out a lot of heat!

So, I had rated the mica style 1500W heaters I had tried with 1 star because the point of a space heater is, well, to heat up a given area. In that review I mentioned that all 1500W heaters basically put out the same amount of heat regardless of what the marketing materials says (e.g. "will heat a 150 sf small room; will heat a medium room; will heat a 300 sf room, etc.). Finally, I mentioned that the only way to actually see better results from a 1500W heater is with a fan, as the heat spreads in a targeted way, rather than just wafting away.
Well, this unit does exactly what you'd want. It heats up instantly and then the fan spreads the heat such that you feel heat almost instantly even 12-15 feet away. It is very, very quiet, the safety control works great, and it's very easy to use. Finally, I have no idea what the marketing materials say about what size room to use this unit in, but I have it set up on a counter in my 1,600 sf basement and within maybe 30 minutes, the majority of the basement is noticeably warmer. Not saying it moves the needle tremendously. Saying that the chill is totally gone and the space is a nice comfy temperature - with it being quite warm within a 15-18 foot radius of the unit. And did I mention ...
... we live in New England where temps have been 0 - 20 F for the past 3 weeks or so, and my basement is insulated but not heated - so factor that into how efficiently this unit works. And, we've been running it daily (sometimes left on overnight) - so far the integrity of this thing is perfect. No hiccups. The "maintain" setting is also very useful and reliable.
Definitely something I would recommend and buy again.

My kitchen used to be a second floor porch and it was enclosed before I moved in to turn it into a kitchen. The floor
Gets super chilly in the wintertime. So I wanted a low standing heater (so I didn’t have to get twice as hot from the feet up) for the floor and I had no expectations for this but it was so surprising! It has a lot of power. On the lower level it’s a bit loud but nothing too bad that would make me regret buying it. It’s easy to ignore. It heats up immediately. And I have a 3 year old... the best thing about this is that it shuts off when it gets lifted or if it tilts. That’s incredible. I would recommend this little powerful machine to anyone. I think the only thing that would make this little heater better is if It rotated:)

I had another portable heater by the same manufacturer so when I needed still another portable heater, I re-ordered another GiveBest heater. This one was a tiny bit different but in all good ways. The last one I had only had a small stem that needed to come in contact with the floor in order for it to turn on. Otherwise, the heater thought it was inoperable. This new heater has a bit longer stem and it has a disc at the end that gives it the ability to actually seat well on the floor including the low level carpet I have it on in our family room.
The ability to adjust the heat settings are perfect. I keep it running nearly day and night on the 2nd setting which is not hot but just right for me. In Ohio the weather is very unpredictable and well into May we can have chilly days and nights. This heater works perfectly as a personal heater. It does help heat the room but that's not it's primary intent as I see it. It works for one or two people to sit near it and feel comfy.
I can't forget about the "Smiley Face"!! It makes one smile to look at it because the interface is designed like a smiley face.
All in all I highly recommend this GiveBest Portable Electric Heater!

This is the second heater I bought from this seller. The first one I bought for my office. It is off the side of one of our bedrooms. It gets really cool back there. I tried to convince my husband that he needs to use it in the bedroom. The bedroom has three outside walls and gets really cold at night in the winter months. My husband resists anything new and it took several weeks for him to try it. But once he did, he used it every night. The automatic shut off is great if he hits it with his wheelchair and knocks it over. We also use it to heat the master bathroom which is located in the same area of the house and is chilly. I love these heaters. I have also used the fan mode to dry my floors quickly after mopping them. This second little heater is going in my she shed.

This baby puts out some heat! Are use it in my 10 x 12‘ bedroom because it’s a corner room with crappy insulation and a crappy window that does not block out all of the cold air. You might have to play with the settings to find the perfect one for whatever room you want to use it in. but you may have to adjust it depending on other environmental factors. Keep in mind that even though this has a built-in thermostat of sorts, it’s not perfect… And it’s going to measure the temperature in the room based on where you put it. So if the bulk of your cold air is coming from your window and you put this heater on the opposite side of the room, you may get a more comfortable heat setting, but your room will be cold until the heater registers that it needs to turn on. If you put it in front of the window, it’s going to run all the time. It’s also a little bit of an energy hog. The lights in my room dim whenever the heater comes on.

A couple of years ago, I bought a different space heater from a mail order company. It was described as "The Best Column Heater" and was about 3 times the height of this little heater. It worked very well the first year I had it; I saved hundreds of dollars on my gas bill that winter. But when the cold weather started in the fall of 2020 and I brought it out again, it didn't give off nearly as much heat, even when I set the temperature to 82 or 83. I bought this Portable Electric Space Heater and it's so much better, I threw the other one out. It doesn't have a fancy digital readout, just three settings: Fan, 1, and 2 (the warmest), but that's all you need. Plus, it's so lightweight and easy to pick up by the handle. I highly recommend this product. I hope it lasts longer than my old heater.

I wouldn't say this heater warms a ROOM up completely, but ah! the sheer JOY of heat on cold legs, hands, and face when the house is warm, but NOT warm enough. This artic blast we've been experiencing lately in the Pacific Northwest chills me to the bone. Even when the heat pump says 71 degrees in the room, face and fingers are cold. This little heater reminds you what WARM is, in no time.

Love this heater. Gives off a lot of heat. High and low settings plus a dial to adjust how hot. I now have an 11x11 office and the whole room heats up quickly. I previously worked in a large open area and I was always toasty at my seat, within minutes. Eventually the room would warm up too- over a period of hours. I also like that it shuts off immediately if you move it or knock into it. I do wish it had auto shutoff after a set time.
I just bought a second one because the other died after a few years. I was disappointed because I expected it to last longer. But it's a great, powerful heater and in a compact size. Highly recommend.

In order to save on fuel oil costs, I have been keeping the indoor thermostats set around 60-64. Have a couple of older ceramic space heaters that I use in the family room and bathroom to warm those areas. But there is no comparison in those heaters and this one. Simple to use and throws a great deal of heat. Forgot there was a safety switch until I picked it up, while it was running, to move to another location. It turned off immediately as soon as I lifted it and it started again when I set it down. It is lightweight, the handle makes it easy to carry. The dog loves to plop down in front of it to get warm. Have not received an electric bill since using this heater, so don't know how energy efficient it is - but I'm sure it cuts down on fuel oil consumption.
Very pleased with this purchase.

This little thing is more powerful than I thought. Living in South Florida, it is extremely rare to need any type of heating. That being said, it's been a cooler season for us than in the past. My wife is petite and sometimes gets chilly when the temperatures are dropping into the 40's at night. This little heater is great for taking the chill out of the air and doing it quickly. Since she works from home, she uses it in her office space. Actually, it's so strong (and it's not even on high) that she runs it prior to starting work then stops it right before her students log on (she can't stop in mid lesson to adjust it). If she leaves it on, it throws a lot of heat and makes things too hot. That's not a bad thing. It shows that the little device can take care of far more than it appears to be able to take care of.

I got this for my little office, where the air conditioning turns it into an ice box. I was miserable, so bought this. Its bigger than what I wanted, but I found a space on an empty side desk for it. With my door closed, it heats my room quickly. The noise is just a soft fan sound, no rattling, and it sounds exactly like I have a small desk fan running. It has saved my life and job performance, and so far after three weeks of use I love it.
My only concern is that the 'fire danger' is listed everywhere on this thing. Nothing can be in front of behind it. I've checked the desk it's on and it never feels hot, but I'm worried about it. It also repeatedly tells you to unplug it when not in use. So I'm a little paranoid, but all in all I'm pleased.

It is cold out as I speak where I live. My utility bill went up by $30. I have an electric fireplace, carefully bought a new insert for it, only to have it blow the breakers whenever I turned it on. Sooo I started hunting for a space heater. This one offers a 1500 watt or whatever and a 750, so I set it for the 750. I am using it in an open concept living room/kitchen/hall that is probably too big for the small heater, but it does well. I get the temperature up close to where I want it when I first come home, then turn off the thermostat, turn on the heater and it holds that setting and eventually climbs. It would be great in a smaller room. It is very quiet and turns off when you move it until it's where you want it and then it comes back on. And it's cute.

This amazing little machine warmed my entire apartment up by 30 degrees in just a couple hours. The direct output doesn’t feel scaldingly hot or anything, but man, this thing WORKS. Never pay a gas bill again, just plug this baby in. It’s also very safe-feeling, first because it doesn’t feel burning hot (yes, that too is a positive now), and second because if it rips even an inch it shuts off. You can leave it on a table or in a corner without any worries at all.

Used it on a trip to Zion recently where the temperature got well below freezing overnight. Worked excellent and we didn't need to use the furnace at all; which was great as the RV furnace is very loud when it comes on. This heater was much quieter and had no issue keeping the RV warm and cozy. It supplied a constant source of heat rather than the furnace constantly kicking on and off. Getting the temperature setting right was a bit of trial and error but worked well once we figured out where it was best for our space. We tested the tip over safety numerous times and it was perfect every time.

I was expecting less based on the price, but was pleasantly surprised. I purchased this to blow hot air at my feet from under my desk while I work, and it's maybe overkill for under a desk, even on low. But when positioned 5 or 10 feet away it covers me with an endless supply of wonderfully hot feeling air, feels sorta like sitting in front of a big indoor campfire. The fan moves a lot of air, and it basically looks and sounds like a really big computer fan (which is good, because big computer fans generally last longer put out less noise compared to small ones). The heat output can be adjusted to fan only, low heat, or high heat but the fan only has one speed, on/off. The adjustable thermostat seems to work fine but I am not using it. The safety feature is a button on the bottom that turns the unit off as soon as it isn't resting flat on the ground, and it works perfectly. Winter hit hard and family is already fighting over this thing, so I may need another one.

I like that it is light, easy to carry and shuts off if it tips over. It also has a fan only setting for summer. I have not noticed any large change in electricity bill. It's probably not big enough if you are looking for heating a large room but otherwise is well worth the price.

It arrived the next day and in a couple of hours it heated a room approximately 500 sq. feet to reasonable and after 4-5 hours we lowered the heat.
It looks small but boy did it work. We still occasionally use it in the master bathroom since that room can be cool. I would highly recommend and suggest having at least one for those days that are cool to cold.

The screen appears to be safe if you have a child that wants to put an item into it. But don't trust any appliance that can cause heat or fire with children or animals. Always PRACTICE safety.

I bought this for my 2 outdoor cats. Living in FL, it's only too cold for the cats on occasion. This heater worked great on my carport. It's quiet and puts out quite a lot of heat for the size. I set a couple of boxes on their sides a few feet in front of the heater to collect the heat and it worked great for temp falling to around 40F. I went out in the middle of the night to check and they were sleeping soundly and all toasty inside the boxes.

Love my little heater. Bottom has a little button that sense when the heater is not flat on the ground or hard surface, so if it tips over it’ll turn off.
It’s very light and easy to carry around; sometimes in the winter I put it in my bathroom before I take a shower to warm it up a bit in there.
When I close the door of my room with it on I end up having to open it or turn it down bc it gets too hot! (Aka I’m not an expert but seems like good heat output to me — and I get cold very easily)
Have only used for 1 winter so far but didn’t have any problems.

This little dynamite replaces our broken 5X bigger radiant heater and works 30X better. Only use it to heat the bathroom cause I hate showering in a cold bathroom. I can turn it on 5 minutes before my shower, shut the doors and return to shower comfortably. Would take 20 - 30 minutes for the old heater to warm it up. Don't know the square footage of our bathroom and too lazy to get out of bed to measure it, but it is a big room...walk in shower with seating, big bathtub, double vanity, linen closet, high ceilings. I feel it is very safe cause just picking it up to move it a little will shut it off. No blown circuits or such.

People who don’t have heaters in their bathroom make me sad for them. Being a firm believer in bathroom heaters, I’ve also gone through potty training two boys who for some reason pick bathroom time as the only time they go “hands-free”. This coupled w a heater does not mix. Having to buy a new heater was giving me anxiety. Will it be warm enough? How will the other bathroom accessories accept it? But lo and behold its more than I could have hoped for. And best part is, it doesn’t vacillate so I can’t accidentally turn it on and then have to purposefully put it back on and wait impatiently until it gets back to the spot I had it at originally.

I bought this little heater to use In both a 10' by 15' bedroom and a similar sized bathroom. I have been using it personally for the last few days and even with temperatures close to 59?F throughout the rest of this part of the house this little heater has been warming these tiny rooms in just 5 to 10 minutes each.
The safety feature that switches off the unit if it is seriously knocked or falls over is fabulous! It does mean that you need a very flat surface but if you're using a heater that's likely to be the case anyway :)
Love the incremental control of the fans and heat levels as well as the handle and its compact size.
So far we have found it a delightful purchase for the price, and perfect for our limited needs.

I like the safety features on this heater. It will shut down if it gets over heated and will shut down if tipped over. Safety is always a concern with electric heaters and I personally would not buy one without the safety features. I purchased 2 of theses and I'm very pleased with them. They are thermostatically controlled and capable of keeping small rooms warm without starting up my main heating system in the fall and spring time. I like to grow tomatoes and herbs in a grow tent over the winter. It fits in my 4x4 grow tent really nicely and on the 750 watt low setting heats my tent very nicely and will cycle on and off keeping my plants in the mid 70's. Finding the temperature you want for this to turn on and off requires some experimentation but once you find the thermostat settings that you want, just mark it with a marker so that you have a reference point. It's small and doesn't take up space in my tent and cycles on and off nicely and is just what I needed. If I find any negatives for this heater, I'll update this review.

I love this. I am just a person that gets cold so easily for no reason like even during the summer. And so I got this for my room and at first I was a little bummed because of the size of it and I was thinking “great im going to need to have it right next to me in order to get warm” but it actually heats up my entire room in as little as about 15 minutes and I end up having to turn it off after a while because i’m too hot. My mom and sister walk into my room and are always like “geez it’s a sauna in here.” It feels good to me though ahah. And there’s 2 different settings, you can adjust how hot it is and you can adjust how much air/heat is coming out. It also has a fan option. I just love it, it keeps me warm and I love being warm, my body is just so sensitive to cold and this has helped me so much! I also do want to add, my bedroom is a little small so it might heat my room up faster than yours depending on the size.

On top of the low hum of the machine acting like white noise for our baby, this little heater got our large bedroom up from 50 degrees to 70 in 15 minutes and maintains the temperature amazingly! To try it out, I tipped the heater (that is amazingly the size of a bottle of apple juice!) slightly while on and it immediately turned off.

It turns on and off automatically when it reaches the desired temp. The only problem I encountered was finding the right temp since there are no markers. It would be nice if it had, say, 60, 70, 80, & 90 degree markers. I'm not sure what I have it set at, but I love that I don't have to bother turning it on & off. It stays comfy, even when the outdoor temp goes down to nearly aero! I highly recommend this little heater, and may even purchase another for my garage.

I bought the Brightown space heater and the similar size Lasko on Dec 13, 2020. The contrast blew me away. I left a detailed, negative review for the Lasko, and compared it to the Brightown. Briefly, the Lasko power cord gets very hot in 15 minutes, blew 2 surge protectors, the handle is useless, and tips over easily. The Brightown power cord stayed cool, no power issues, great handle, and is well balanced. I’ve used it many times since it arrived, and put it through heavy use during the Texas blizzard Feb 14-20th. It’s early March now, and it still performs great. I wish the power cord was one or two feet longer, I can’t plug it directly into the wall outlet and position it where I need it most. Price point is only $5 more than the Lasko. I would buy it again, absolutely.

I just have mine on "hottest" and turn it up to max.

The carrying handle and light weight means it can follow her around - the hardest part for her being the plugging/unplugging from the wall.
It's output is surprisingly good. A good combination of high (but not "too" high") heat and good fan pressure means she doesn't have to have it directly on her for it to work.

So I went looking for a heater that would be safe around my dogs and could warm up a space like the basement. This was the best thing I’ve purchased for myself and my family. I no longer have to dress for winter to go into my basement! There is great temperature options on this heater. Safety feature on it is excellent! If it gets bumped even a little it goes off until you make it steady and in the right position again. If you need a heater that will heat your space safely and it’s not gonna break the bank to buy, this is for you! I’m super happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very effective little heater

I had a Lasko portable heater, and found it was barely adequate, mainly due to a very weak fan. I was hoping this would be better, even though both units are rated at the same 1500 watt output. This is a far more effective heater, with a stronger fan and tip over protection. If this heater is lifted off the surface, it shuts off immediately. It also has a very convenient carry handle, unlike the Lasko which had an indentation on the back for your fingers.
Overall, this is an effective and safe heater perfectly suited for warming up small rooms.

I've had this heater less than a month. It heats quickly and thoroughly. My old one apparently was not working well, because this new one is far more efficient. My only negative is that settings dials are opposite from the old model. It's going to take time. Because of the difference in location, I'm finding turning on and off difficult. A small thing, but my old fingers are having a problem.

I purchased this for my daughter's bedroom. It works better than I expected. It heats up the room perfectly. In fact, she got too hot and adjusted the temperature. You have a choice of heat or just fan only. We have a different heater in our room. It's the tower that spins. I liked this little one because it heats up the room faster. I like the safety feature on it as well. It will turn off if bumped or dropped. I'm definitely purchasing two more of these for different rooms.

Very powerful - perhaps too powerful for the space. Positioned more than 3 feet from bed, etc. and on the low setting but within minutes the comforter was hot. Like the handle - convenient.
10.9.2021 UPDATE:
See previous review. I chose to keep this heater for future use. Unfortunately even tho it was stored in its original box in a climate controlled environment, etc., it stopped working - no power, etc. NEVER GOT TO USE IT
I purchased the Lasko 754200 10.2.2009 & used it off & on as needed. Sometimes 2+ years of non use & it still worked in Dec. 2018. Unfortunately when I relocated Dec. 26, 2018, I unintentionally left it behind.
I decided to try this heater b/c of the tip-over/overheat protection features.
How will the manufacturer correct this defect?

I bought this heater to take the chill off my bathroom when I first get up in the morning. The description of the heater, indicating it's intended for use in a space up to 200 square feet is probably somewhat overstated, but it works very well in my space of probably 50 square feet. The tip over shutoff feature is very active, which is extremely important on electric space heaters.

I bought this to use in my WFH room (spare bedroom) at home because it usually stays cool. It heats up the room so much that when I open the door to leave that room I realize how cold the rest of the house feels. It is very lightweight, I can easily move from ground for my feet or up on the desk. It is very safe - if the unit is moved while it is on, the unit will turn off. The only con is that it is loud. If I am on a work call talking, I need to turn the unit off. For the price and what I use it for, it is a good value and worth 5 stars.

I really like the heater except for the safety feature of it shutting off if it's not level. I understand why that feature is there, but in my case, I need to till it backwards a bit so either my ankles or face aren't roasted, and it shuts off if I try to do that.

We bought this for a tenant who was getting a new furnace and needed to have heat this week at night especially as it was going into the high 30's and low 40's some nights.
She was thrilled we got it for her, and said she was amazed at how much heat this little thing gave off.
We liked the fact that it doesn't burn you like our old space heaters if you get close, and that it turns off if you knock it over.
She has a small pit bull, and we were afraid it might run into this and knock it over.
This is surprisingly small, and gives off a lot of heat. With several rental properties, it's great to have some of these on hand if a furnace gives out.

This thing is amazing. My apartment has heat and I literally don’t even use it and use this instead haha. 800 square foot apartment and it heats a single room so well. I just bought a second one to have them going in both rooms. It’s shocking that something so small can work so well. It is a lot warmer if you’re right by it of course, if you’re on opposite side of the room you won’t feel the heat but if it’s going for like 2 hours the room definitely heats up and every time I have to turn it off because I start to feel overheated. I’ve had it for a year, not a single issue. Also the safety feature is really amazing. If it’s even tilted slightly it will turn off. It has to be firmly on the ground/surface to work, which is really great because you don’t have to worry about a fire if it gets knocked over. I don’t leave it on while I’m sleeping, but honestly I’m sure even if I did it would be fine. 10/10 recommend.

This is an excellent little heater. It does exactly as advertised. We have a small bathroom (about 70 sq ft) with a skylight and without a lot of wall space available for baseboard. So, in the winter, it can be quite cold in the morning and evening. I'm able to sit this heater on a countertop or on the floor and the cord is long enough to reach to the outlet without an extension. The case stays cool so no issue burning or igniting material nearby and no fear of burning hands when picking it up. It has a cutoff switch on the bottom so as soon as it tilts or is picked up it shuts off. While I wouldn't recommend this heater as a way to add heat an unheated area, if you need to take the chill off a space that already maintains nominal room temperature, it's compact, easy to just set it down and plug it in and provides a surprising amount of heat for its size and low cost.

The 2nd one was more expesive, a tower with digital whistles and bells but when it would reach the maximum temp, the heat would cut off and it would blow cold air. It also had 3 noises making it irritable. So, I got this one and it immediately heats, is simple to operate, restored peace and quiet. It stops when the temp is reached but has a sensitive thermostat and starts up as soon as the desired temp drops.

UPDATE 12/25/21
it's still chugging along in my home office, the coldest room in the house, keeping it perfectly comfortable. Once you figure it out, mainly by trial and error, it pretty much takes care of itself.
I have learned recently that anything with a plastic housing is going to gas off: I would say to keep your bird out of the room and ventilate like mad til it stops stinking.
Upped it to 4 stars accordingly.
-----
For such a little thing, it does put out a lot of heat. And you can almost look at it wrong and it shuts off--the safety mechanism is super-sensitive and I really appreciate that part.
But the instructions are in such fractured English that they are unintelligible. There is a word "FAQ" that appears on the website that has no linkage to anything. There's a "chat" function that no one, not even a bot, responds to (I gave it an hour). You can message them on Facebook, but nobody responds to that, either. And this all became important because on the first day the thing stank to high heaven and I was afraid to run it with my bird in this room, which she normally is 2-4 hours every weekday. I wanted to ask if it had anything in or on it that would be toxic to her when heated, but could not find an answer or get a response.
The temperature dial has no numbers on it, just Hi at one end, Lo at the other. Is low 70? High 80? Who knows? You just have to fiddle with it to get it like you like it.
You get what you pay for, I guess. Next time I'll spring for something higher-end.

This little heater works great for bedrooms or home offices (smaller spaces) but unless you’re within three feet with the heater blasting at you, it doesn’t do much in more open rooms like a living room, though for the size I would say that’s expected. It is VERY loud so, unless you really hate your coworkers, I would not suggest it for a cubicle heater. Another thing: it does seriously dry out the air in the room so if you get nosebleeds or have problems irritated by dry air, probably invest in a humidifier as well.
Proof of how great it works for enclosed rooms: I live in Texas and hadn’t known that the heater in my home was broken upon moving in, I just thought it was an old, drafty house. However, when that freak freeze in February hit, I realized the issue wasn’t just a drafty doorway, and the house kept getting colder, and eventually, it wouldn’t get warmer than 60F during the warmest part of the day. The repairman unfortunately didn’t have the part needed to fix the heater and all the stores were all closed. This little heater kept my bedroom, and any enclosed room I moved it to, comfortably warm almost to the point of toasty. Without this heater, I don’t know how my dog or I would’ve been able to get through the cold.

4.0 out of 5 stars Puts out heat but there’s some things you need to know
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2022
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
So this little heater can put out some heat for sure. If you are a homeowner and don’t know a lot of electricity, this little heater pulls A LOT of power to do so. The high setting is drawing about 1,500 watts of electricity. This is running on 110V so it’s pulling almost 14 amps. If you plug it into a wall outlet and that outlet is tied to anything else on your panel (breaker box), it will almost certainly trip the standard 15 amp breaker. Mine surely did. My basement is where I intended to use this heater so I plugged it in and got to work in the office. All power gone because I overloaded the breaker. Apparently they ran all outlets to one circuit so the desktop, 3D printer, lamp, ceiling lights, and now heater were all running on one circuit. The heater is too much. If you plan on running it on high pretty often, Be mindful of what else the outlet is connected to. If you can, it’d be best to add a circuit and run a 20 amp circuit to a dedicated outlet for the heater.
Other than that, it works great and definitely heats up a standard 200-300 sqft room.
It also has a kill switch on the bottom that has to be pressed in for it to run. It does this by standing it up. If it tips over, that switch will kill the power to the heater and turn it off.
Hope this helped.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but really noisy
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2021

This heater is compact (I love the top handle) and produces a very good steady stream of heat, however, it is too noisy for an open office environment, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
I do love the built-in safety feature... if it tips forward or to the side it automatically shuts off.
What a shame... My office environment is sometimes as cold as a meat locker, but I won't be able to use this when others are sitting beside me- it's just way too noisy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of heat, solid construction...but LOUD
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2021
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
This replaced a 5 year old Lasko ceramic unit; and is superior in heat, safety features, strong construction and properly bottom-weighted to keep it stable.
Regardless, I have to take away a point for its noise. Even at its lower setting, the extremely narrow apertures between the heating elements result in a very pronounced 'WOOSH' that has woken me on several occasions.
I live in a complex with boiler heat, which gets turned off on May 1st. EVERY ONE of the first 13 nights this may have dropped down anywhere from 47-34 degrees Fahrenheit. I use this in the bedroom, and have a much larger 'milkhouse' style (fan-forced) heater in the living room. That larger heater is no more than 2/3 the volume of this smaller one; but I need it in the larger room.
While it does the job, I will be replacing this with a quieter heater by this Fall.

I had ordered a similar heater thinking they all came with a tip-over power-off feature in this day and age. WRONG! The first heater lacked this basic safety feature so I ordered this one. The tip-over mechanism consists of nothing more than a spring-loaded plunger which operates a switch. If the heater is not sitting squarely on the floor, i.e. it is tipped over, the plunger disengages the switch, turning off the heater. It's simple and it works. The heat output is more than adequate for a small space such as a bedroom or study.
One star off because I wish it were quieter. There is some fan noise but all things considered I'm happy with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Space Heater
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2021
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
I like the size, because it's convenient for a small space. And the dials are easy to use. However, it's advertised as being "quiet", and I wouldn't describe it that way. I can DEFINITELY hear it anytime it's on, and the sound isn't a steady sound, but it goes in and out (as if something is rattling inside). Luckily nobody can hear it through my computer speakers (when I'm on Zoom meetings and/or phone calls), but it's definitely noticeable on my end. I also like how quickly it heats up, but don't like that the front grill is hot to the touch (so it's not really pet and/or baby friendly). My main gripe though is the noise. I really wanted a heater that would be quiet, and this is not it. But if you want a small space heater that heats things up quickly, this is a good buy.

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2022

We have purchased other electrical devices, including area heaters. What I do not like are products that have a junky very stiff electrical cord.
This product, as inexpensive as it is, has a quality electrical cord that is flexible and not stiff like too many others have.
When I get time to use it, I hope it continues to meet my hopes and expectations.
Bravo on the electrical cord.
I also like that it has an actual on / off switch. Too many devices these days turn off when there is a power outage, but will not turn back on when the electricity comes back on. Items like this heater WILL turn back on once the electricity is back on because it has an actual On/Off Switch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good but temperature control and noise could be better
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2022
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
I have few complaints about this little heater. The only things I wish were better were the temperature control and the noise. The temperature control isn't very stable, the heater stays shut on/shut off for pretty long periods of time meaning that the temperature can fluctuate up to 7 to 8 degrees. The noise is OK and would probably be hard to beat without going fanless (though I have seen air filters that are more quiet). It's extremely good for the price.

This little thing puts out some heat at 750 watts. I see no reason to go to the 1500 watt level. For the price you can’t beat it. I had an issue with the first one. It had some unusual noise like something was broke inside. Customer service was swift and fast in replacing it without any questions asked. You can’t do any better than that at this price. I have to turn down the heat because it gets hot in my room.
Update; Now that I have had this heater for a while it is still putting out a lot of heat and I haven’t even used the 1500 amp setting. My heart stays on 750 watt. I use this heater in my bedroom on my RV fifth wheel. It’s perfect for the bedroom.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice quiet heat for a room
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2022
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
Heater was for local living room heat where we spend most of our time in the cold months. Heater noise output is low and even soothing for a nap. Unit must be level or the safety switch shuts it off. The biggest issue is the thermostat appears to have a too large of a differential adjustment. It's either blowing constantly or stays off. Maybe the probe is too close to the heat source because it doesn't seem to cycle on / off in our room no matter how close we adjust it to barely turn on or off and then even back it off a little. To clarify, it's mostly blowing constantly or not at all. On low power setting, it's not a big deal because running 100% is fine for a few hours at a time.

Pro: Using right now and it does this trick, heating my 400 SQ Ft loft. Pleased so far.
C O N: Energy efficient it IS NOT. (Sorry Mother Earth).
Another Pro: Even when you reposition, it automatically alarms and the safety shut-off is triggered.
No burnt down apts on this manufacturer's watch, which I truly appreciate...but I do sleep with it on.
I know, I know. I hate being cold though. Because of the low price point (getting what you pay for) and manf place of origin, I do keep it safely away from blankets and furniture.
**That said: I keep the setting on level I. Level II does emit a...burning? odor and I would just rather not...burn. Level I will keep you plenty warm.
4/5 Stars because... c'mon. We've got self-driving cars and robot delivery carts.
I know they can balance price + safety, and still make this lil bugger less of an electricity hog!

A very nice portable space heater that does put out very good heat considering its size. I am using in a 200 square feet room and it works well at heating up the room.
I would prefer it to be a little quieter but by no means is it overwhelmingly loud. Considering the price point it is more than acceptable.
While you cannot set a specfic temperature you just simply turn the heat all the way up and when the room gets to a comfortable temperature you turn the knob down until it turns off. At this point the unit will turn back on when the room temperature falls below this point. This has worked well.
I would recommend this unit if you are looking for a cost effective portable heater that just works.

4.0 out of 5 stars Safety Features Work ?? Very Warm Heater
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2021
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I got this space heater because my Honeywell one shorted out and I like that this one has safety features. This thing gets pretty hot so I’m happy knowing that if my dog knocks it over or anything it will shut off. (There is a switch on the bottom that gets pressed in when it’s flat on the floor) it’s a simple mechanism but helpful. It also shuts off if it gets too hot. One time I had it a little too close to my bed and it turned off after about 5 minutes. That’s nice as well.
It really only has one heat level, it just shuts off and turns back on to regulate a different temperature setting. I’m okay with that, but it’s not necessarily silent so sometimes I’ll forget about it and when it turns back on it will startle me lol
If left on the max setting it will continuously run. I will fall asleep with it on and wake up to my small room unbearably hot. So it’s definitely powerful. Just not for large spaces. I tried using it downstairs which is more open and higher ceilings and it didn’t really do much.

This heater really cranks. It heats up my large bedroom pretty quickly. The power cord is long, it does have a fan only feature, the "thermostat" kinda works but I have to turn the dial that governs the on/standby more often than not, because it will get cold and the heater still has not kicked on. The heat is either pretty hot and "Ok that's really hot", depending on the fan speed, and It does have an anti tip feature that works perfectly. The biggest annoyance is that there is a red "eye" light that is always on even when its just plugged in and not turned on, I don't like it, but overall I am satisfied with this purchase and the build quality of the product. Would recommend.

I live in LA where our winter coldest temp is 40 degrees. I use space heaters in the evenings and a few daytimes to remove the cold edge. This does not get my one room single apt. hot or toasty warm, but it does warm me up and take the cold edge off. It takes a while to fully heat all the space, about 2 or 3 hours, though I feel more warmth right away. I'm basically happy with it, though if I were in Maine buying to heat my place this would not be strong enough. The fan is audible but quieter than other space heaters I've used. It doesn't bother me at all. This si probably excellent for a small office or under a desk.

Great little heater for a great price. It gives off a decent amount of heat without being so much I'm afraid the area around it is going to catch fire. And it's not much noisier than a regular fan, which I appreciate too. Great that it kicks on automatically if it gets too low, I can set it in my bedroom at night when I'm afraid my house heat could go off, knowing this thing will kick on and let me sleep without waking up in the cold. I can move it extremely easily from room to room as needed, and the cord is a good length. Only thing I wish is it had a real temp indicator, it's a tad annoying that you can't set it to a specific number or even heat level. Overall very happy about this purchase.

Surprisingly powerful for how small it is. I use it for my work desk in a cold office. It heats up fast and the heat isn't just warm - it can be pretty hot up close, so I would keep it from other things nearby just for safety. The metal on the front does get too hot to touch even on the lower setting. But the tip feature is really sensitive as even the slightest touch turns it off, which I find to be a good thing! It is a bit loud though, not the quietest thing for an office space. Still love it and still recommend, but maybe for a larger space.

This small, personal space heater was the perfect size and output for its intended purpose. It produces enough heat to warm a very specific spot in your home. This one is used to warm my work at home area on cold winter days. The desk is positioned in the corner of two old windows with poor sealing (they are from the 80's). This heater warms up this location just fine. Do not hope to use this heater for warming an entire room (efficiently) unless the room is well insulated. I expect it will not do so well, but will for just a small portion of the room. I don't think that was the intended purpose (an entire room) anyway.

Pros: great heat output as it gets my baby’s nursery comfortably warm; safety feature that kicks off heater if it is knocked over or lifted up.
Cons: I really wish it had a specific temperature setting because it just has a high or lower dial that you don’t really know how warm it’s going to make it. Sometimes I come in later to feed baby and it’s too hot and other times I have to turn it up higher because the day was colder and now it didn’t warm it up well enough. If that makes sense.

The vents in my wife's sewing room are blocked by furniture, so we bought this to take the edge off the cold winter air, and for that purpose (we're not trying to heat the room from freezing temps to comfortable), it works well. But many little heaters work well out of the box. The true test isn't if it gets through the warranty period, but if it's working for 2 or more winters. Ask me again in 2025.

Pros: 1. Heats up the room very fast. I'm using it in my bedroom
2. This seller was very responsive to resolve an issue I had.
Cons:
1. If you're chilly and want to feel the blowing heat of the blower then you have to put it 1/2 ft next to you, otherwise you won't feel the warmth of the blower, although it will warm up the room quite fast
2. Sound is a little noisy, doesn't bother me, it actually enhances my sleep, but you or your partner sleeping in the room might not like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome with caveat
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2021

Bought this heater because the heat in my home office is lacking compared to the rest of the house, so I was sick and tired of trying to use my mouse and type with numb fingers. I started with using the heater on my desk a few feet away from me and it was great but louder than I thought it would be based on reviews I read. Then I decided to try it on the floor placed at the opposite end of the room (about a 15x12 space) and it worked amazingly well. Still louder than I had hoped. I would recommend it with the caveat that it will be loud but not so loud that you can’t hear or carry on a conversation, just a loser humming sound, and the low end of the temp control compared to the high end is not much a difference. It still throws about the same amount of heat. Those two things aside, I would definitely but it again for any room of my home.

This is a good heater with a nice fan and is quite small for its output. I love the safety features.
The title implies there is a thermostat, but from my own experience I would not call it that at all. There is not however a way to set the desired room temperature and have the heater turn off when that temperature is reached. You can only set the heat and fan settings and it will stay on continuously.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I expected
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
Unpacking it was simple. Getting it up and running was equally as simple. It heated quickly and my first issue came up which is NOT an issue for long. The 'New' smell, When turning it on the smell got BAD with the heat. Nothing so drastic as "Leave the room while it runs for the first 5 minutes" just "Whelp that's going to smell for a bit" So DO NOT start pulling out the Febreze! It heated up VERY quickly when set to max (Which is probably where it will stay most of the time) I did however test the sound and sadly it's not very quiet. It does provide even white fan back round noise which can easily be ignored after a time. This sound stays on in every mode (Fan. Mode 1, and Mode 2) The only way to get rid of that sound and keep it 'on' is to turn the temperature down until it's basically off. But again it works as I had hoped/expected. My only dislike (Aside from the 'new' smell of it heating up for the first time) is the dials are difficult to read from the front, where the heat comes out (As they appear upside down) All in all it's a wonderful small heater that can easily fit onto just about any surface. It starts heating very quickly, much quicker then I expected of a small heater like this. Although I didn't get to see if it would heat the entire room it worked well for what I needed. There is a 'click' sound if the heater is tipped as there is a small plunger foot at the bottom. The weight of the heater keeps the plunger firmly against the bottom. If the bottom of the heater tips just enough (Far less then I actually expected) The plunger pops out and the machine totally turns off! This is a wonderful safety feature, and you can EASILY tell it's off, as stated before not only does it click but it will also more then likely have the 'white noise' of the fan on. So if it EVER should fall you will notice the lack of sound and the sudden click. I can see it EASILY heating up small rooms such as bed rooms and bathrooms. For my needs it works wonderfully which is just heating up a small section in a very large room. It heated the area in front of it very well and evenly despite the openness of the room and the look on my mother's face who helped me test was perfect. For my needs this heater fits spectacularly!
TL;DR. Things of note. 'New' smell when heating up for the 1st time, quickly dissipates. Provides white noise (Fan). Dials look upside down from front of the machine, can easily get use to this.

4.0 out of 5 stars 750W setting blows cold air on one side
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2021
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
This is a decent heater, but one problem I have is that there are apparently 2 vertically mounted heating elements, so when you set it on the 750W setting ("I" instead of "II" setting), it blows hot air from the left side and room temperature/cold air from the right.
It's like having 2 separate heaters with one fan behind them. I'm sure this is a cheaper way to have multiple heat settings than having some variable power consumption, but when the heater is close to you, some cold air blows on you at the same time.

When I used it, it was to take a smoke and I turned it on for maybe 5 minutes while I smoked so, it wasn't a continuous usage. The button on the bottom which is a safety feature in that if the heater tips over, it turns off. The button has popped out (not all the way) and I taped it thinking that would resolve the issue and while it did for 2 days, it no longer does and now the heater is unusable.

I ordered it as a backup to a taller Comfort Zone model for my studio. The design is excellent, but I wish the fan and heating element were stronger. It would probably suit you well in a limited area computer room.

The heater definitely heats as silly as that sounds. I got it for my dorm room and it does a great job getting the room back to a spot where I can feel my toes while I'm working. Sound isn't too bad in my opinion, kind of just a white noise and barely hear it while I have my headphones on.
Only issue in my opinion is it doesn't seem very adjustable. You can change the "output heat" with a knob, but it seems like if you turn it to less than 50% it just warms the coils but doesn't blow any air, but you put it more than 50% and it blows full blast, no in between setting. Similarly, there's two heat strengths, but it seems like the lower strength just doesn't activate the coils on one side and instead just blows air so there's really not much of a difference. Even with this though, still a fair product in my opinion.

Overall I like this product. It's cheap and doesn't have a weird smell. (When you open it, first-time use might have some smell, but the second day it's all gone). And it's perfect to warm certain parts of my body, especially when I work at home, it's perfect to put under the table, to warm myself. Works much better than AC at home.
Read the safety instruction carefully. There's some limit you need to concern.
1. Not waterproof. No water. But I guess it's for all these types of heaters.
2. Plug it directly on the wall. No extension allowed. (based on manual, it will be not safe to use any kind of extension)
3. There's no red pan at all. It's just a ceramic heater, no radiation at all. The Ad picture is misleading.

The heater does heat well and it is quiet enough. There are two things that concern me and they are a lack of truth in the description. First, there is a huge tag saying that it should not be used in a bathroom! That is shocking for a small heater of this size. I use it there anyway as my bathroom is larger than many, and it does not need to be near a source of water.
The second is that the info with the heater clearly says that it does NOT have a thermostat. It has a knob that controls fan and another that the user sets for the amount of heat. It does not turn off when the space areaches that amount of heat.
These are not terrible flaws, but the description is untrue. That makes me wonder what else is hidden from the buyer.

I purchased this little heater in November 2019. Around September or October of 2020 it unexpectedly stopped working (I can't remember exactly when). The only warning I had that something was wrong was a slight burning-dust-smell one day. The next day it would not turn on.
I only used the heater very lightly (maybe an hour at a time every other day). It was okay while it worked. The temperature control didn't really seem to work. It seemed to always run while turned on and never actually heat up the small room it was in enough to have it cycle on and off.
There is no filter over the air intake on this heater unlike older space heaters that I've owned and thought were better.
I would not buy this heater again.

It is very difficult to set the temperature control on this heater. The dial that controls the heat output is very inaccurate. If I turn it to the right enough for the heat to go on, it doesn't regulate itself and just keeps going until I manually turn the dial down. And when I turn it to the left so the room is not as hot, it never comes on again. Maybe it's just my unit, but this is not self regulating. I am very disappointed and will replace it with a better heater next winter.

Cheap product not worthy of $29.99. Likely why they have people write a good review for a $10 GC.
Im not one to write what is not true and I am not one that overly reviews products. If it’s worth 5 stars I will and if’s it’s not worth the money I will.
Two things first. It’s cheap, granted it is a light weight item (which can be good) the slightest movement causes it to shut off.. which can also be good, if it actually was going to be knocked over.
But it’s annoying.
As I do understand safety feature, if the item was weighted properly and not so cheaply made that problem would not exist.
And the dial mechanism just is not sensitive enough for temperature control.. It will just keep running even after the room or area has reached a desiable temp. My other heaters were fantastic in that respect.
I Love small heaters, As with my illness I get cold easily and others don’t want or need house heater on. I agree, it’s silly and costly, So small heaters work for. I have had many through the years and typically buy a $9.99 - $19.99 at the drug store and they’ll last and operate fantastically. I decided to buy this one , since I’ve been too sick to travel outdoors and it just simply doesn’t compare to the others
I cannot yet say if it will last a long time, since I’ve only had for a short time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok for small room, bad for bedroom
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2019
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
Let me start off by saying the heater does put out heat fairly well and it seems effective at warming up a small room. This heater is good for a small to medium sized room (and one room only). Unfortunately, that's where the praise stops, because I bought this heater for a drafty bedroom and it was pretty terrible for use throughout the night. I didn't think it was all that quiet for how small it is. If compared to a loud heater it can be called quiet, but it's really on par with a regular fan in terms of noise, which in theory would be fine, except when using the thermostat on medium/low will cause it to turn on and off so frequently throughout the night that it can't really be like white noise. Also, I'm not sure what the point is of the knob for fan, low, and high; it all seemed like the exact same setting.
Overall this isn't the worst heater for the price, but I think it's also possible to do better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great output, horrible thermostat
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2021
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
This heater is very powerful; it will heat up an area very quickly, and is great for that.
What this heater is not so great for is the thermostat. If you're planning on keeping this on during the day or night to keep the temperature regulated, this is where it's going to get frustrating.
Firstly, there are no markers on the temperature knob, so you're flying blind on where to put the knob to reach the desired temperature from the get-go. Even this is not so bad though, because if you find where the knob should be, and keep it there, it should keep the room at a pretty consistent temperature, right? Unfortunately, no.
Even if you keep the knob in the exact same spot, the temperature fluctuations are easily 3-5 degrees. Simply moving the knob 1/4 inch will sometimes have it keep the room at 70 Deg F; and if you keep the knob there, in that exact same position, will at other times keep the room at 75 Deg F.
If you try to adjust the temperature knob, that is where the real fun starts, because there really is no absolute temperature for any specific location on the knob, so good luck.
Sometimes, my room will be 70 Deg F, sometimes 67 Deg F, sometimes 73 Deg F, and that's without moving the knob.
So, in summary, if you're buying this heater to be able to heat up a large area, and you don't care about the heater's thermostat, this is a fantastic heater, and I'd recommend it for that.
If you're buying the heater to keep an area at a certain temperature, and expecting the thermostat to work reasonably well, I certainly would not recommend this heater at all.

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2021
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
bought this to have a quick fan based heater to warm up a chilly bathroom, chose this model because it said it had a fan for cool only so I thought I could replace my regular fan and use this throughout the year. The fan is almost nonexistant. you have to get within 8inches to feel the blow. So its useless for summer months cooling effect. Other cons is that the protective grill gets hot, I mean burn your skin hot which is worrisome if it tipped over on a flammable base such as carpet, even tho the tilt would shut off the unit I believe the super hot grill would still burn. The temperature regulator seems to be there for marketing purposes as it really doesnt do much if you turn it way down or full on. i believe its due to the weird operation instructions that have you reach desired temp, then turn the knob in the other way till it clicks, then the unit will regulate temp and not overheat. Its overly complicated and relies on customers being able to get the weird instructions, just put in a temp gauge instead. Same with heat I or II. Underwhelming.
Pros: it does heat a small room good if you are going for a heat source supplement. It is sturdy built. Noise volume is less than my regular fan and more than my air purifier. I find it pleasant as a white noise but if you want quiet then a radiator type heater is for you. Price is good.
I read reviews and most other heaters of this kind dont have the great fan blow so Im keeping it. Like I said, meh

That said, I literally can't tell the difference between levels 1 and 2... and fussing with the "thermostat" doesn't seem to do anything... It's either on or off, and that's it. ( maybe if you stick it in a room that's already 80 degrees? I dunno... )
And I'm not even sure all of its coil guys are working properly... the right side of the thing just seems to be pushing cool air, while the middle and left feel warm.?.? dunno...

The heat is awesome, quickly heats up, the safety feature is immediate...as soon as you move it, it shuts off, however, I worry that it does not shut off when my dog gets too close. This unit is hot, so if you have a child or a pet who gets too close, they will get burned (or in the case of my long-haired dog, or might catch on fire. This would be a good unit for under a desk in an office, perhaps or in a garage IF you can remember to turn it off! It does not shut off if it runs too long and it does not seem to regulate itself consistently. I found a much better option here and that was what ultimately made me decide to return this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for maintaining a reasonable comfort range of heat in a room
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2019
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
Update - the heater will put out heat, and it performs well, per my original review below the dashed line, but .......
BUT - if you want to maintain a constant temperature in a room, this may not be the heater for you. Why? Because it seems to have a temperature range of about 12 degrees or larger - by range I mean the difference between the high temperature at which the thermostat will turn it off, and the low temperature at which the heater will turn back on again.
This range of 12 degrees is ridiculously large - a more normal range is 4 degrees, or maybe 6 degrees maximum.
By 6 degrees I mean, you set it for 77, and it turns off at 80, and then turns back on at 74. That's a pretty large range - covering comfortable, to a bit too hot, down to a bit too cold. A tighter range of 4 degrees, maintaining from 75-79 - well that's just much better.
So when I say that this heater has a range of 12 degrees - that means you set it for 77, it will turn off at 83, and then turn back on at 71. That's a 12 degree range and utterly ridiculous.
This heater is okay to take into the bathroom to warm things up while you take a shower, but for maintaining steady heat in a bedroom - I would not buy it again. I did buy 3, and I am 6 days past the return date, so I am stuck, but buyer beware. I don't know if I am able to change this from 5 stars to 3 stars, but I'll try.
CHINA - it was pretty good, until we discovered that it is not as good as we thought. Fix it!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have only had these for a limited amount of time, but so far they are working perfectly with no bugs. I tried the tip-over safety system, which makes use of a small button on a spring that protrudes from the bottom - I think that is entirely acceptable, as any other type of mechanism, for example a hanging weight that would cause the switch to detach - could add complications that might lead to failures.
So I thought the simple button was fine - you push the unit a bit, or actually tip it over, and the button extends and shuts off the unit. Perfect! Heat output is offered in two power levels, 750 watts and 1500 watts. I tested those two and they are working fine.
I can't speak for longevity, but in a year I may update this review, or if they fail sooner than that I will come back and update.

But as I sit in my work chair right now with it on HIGH on the floor I can feel the blower on my upper body. Make sure you read the instructions first as it states if it shuts off its normal and that is a safety feature and you just have to unplug it for 15 min and then plug it back in after it cools down. I've been running mine on HIGH for three hours straight and it hasn't shut off yet. I'm keeping mine!

I work in a building where I am forced to chose between the needs of one (me) or the needs of many, (my coworkers). My office is cold enough to hang meat in, all year round, and I was advised by the maintenance staff that they could make my office comfortable but that then causes the other offices on the same system to be uncomfortable. I spent many, many a day in the frozen tundra and then thought, “why not try a space heater” and I found this Amazon recommended gem. It arrived and I put it into use immediately and was so pleased! I could flex my fingers without frost flaking off and fluttering to my desk and people were happy to stop in my office and say hello again. Then, six months and two weeks after it arrived, it just stopped working. I had a coworker in my office for a meeting and she suddenly “had to go” do something else - I haven’t seen her since, our project deadline looms large. I think she saw the ice forming on my window without this little guy working his magic. The cold wind blows through my office and I sigh a weary sigh as I pull on my parka to go work in my office… in August, in Mobile, Alabama where it “feels like 110” outside. Thank you for your service.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's alright for a small room
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2022
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
I bought this heater from my daughter's small room. Unfortunately, I removed it because it was terrible at keeping the temperature consistent in her room. The room would have to get down to 55-60 before it would kick itself on and then it wouldn't turn off until it was 75-80 degrees in her room. I was trying to keep her room at about 65-70 degrees. I understand these cheaper smaller heaters are not as accurate, but I was expecting it to do a little better than it did (I bought a different
heater for her room that was around the same price that does a better job of maintaining a fairly consistent temperature).
After I took it out of her room I have really only used it occasionally up until recently when I've used it every day for the past 2 weeks while I'm in the living room. Today the fan stopped working which renders it useless.

In the description this says it has a thermostat. To me a thermostat means you can actually set a temperature on it And it will run until the room reaches the temperature, And then it will turn off. You cannot set a temperature on this. You can only turn the dial to warmer or cooler or the fan to I and II. Disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works well, but lacks some controls that are typical on other units
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2021
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
The main functionality of this works very well. It's puts out heat, and has a low and high setting which is really nice to have. And it's safety features work well. No complaints there.
The main issue is the thermostat feature. It has a simple dial which you can't select a particular TEMP, it's just a dial with a +/- symbol. So dialing in your temperature is problem 1. Problem 2, is that once the temperature is reached, it continues to blow air through the unit, it's just not heated.
Neither of these are deal breakers, but they are important factors for most people, coming from a digital thermostat heater.

3.0 out of 5 stars very basic
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2020
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
The little heater throws heat just fine. Not like flaming inferno or liquid hot magma but ok. The fan is quiet-ish. You'll definitely know its running but I keep it under my desk and doesn't overpower spoken conversations or volume from the computer.
The temperature and fan speed adjustments are non-sense. Despite the rotating dial which seems like you could adjust the fan speed...its either on or off. Similarly with the temperature selector. Setting II is slightly warmer than setting I but not noticeably different.
No thermostat functions exist. It does not appear to be able to be set for a given temp and then maintain that temp or regulate the fan speed accordingly.
If you're looking for basic, it seems to do the trick. The safety kick over switch works in my tests. Havent seen evidence of the overheat turn off as of yet.

Having a crisis with our heating system which stopped working. Then something else went wrong.
I had to come up with a plan 'B' and in the reviews these heaters had pretty good reviews. Okay made purchase.
1. Made for very small rooms.
2. Fan noisy. And once the switch for the tip over stuck and it went from noisy TO SCREAMING. I resorted to beating it into submission. Compared to my wife's heater it is loud.
3. But it heats, somewhat. Compared to my wife's heater it is not as effective.
4. It is cheap, But is not a value.
I was thinking to buy the heater that I had bought for my wife, as it was a little more expensive I did not.
And I based my experience with that heater which has the same wattage settings, on makeing the purchase of these heaters. To my regret.
But it is better than a really cold house.

Love the unit itself. I have been using it without any issues. Unfortunately the customer support seems non existent.
The manual was vague and confusing about adjusting the temperature. It seems that the person who wrote it was not very good in English and the explanation was confusing at best. Called customer service and the person who answered could not answer the question I asked about adjusting the temperature, but was very cordial and said she would escalate it to support or someone who would know. I was fine with it , but later figured it out not by the explanation in the manual. Never had gotten any email response and this has been several weeks since the call and told a response would be within two days. The unit is great but don’t count on customer support .

Great size, good heat output, easy to work. However, this little heater packs a LOT of sound for it's size. I own/have owned 8-10 space heaters of this same size and wattage and this is by far the loudest one I have heard. I use it in my office (approx 100 sqft) and it's not ear-splitting, but it is definitely loud enough to compete with conversations and disrupt work. I'm slightly disappointed and am considering returning it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Either on or off, but strong heat
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2021
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
This heater really does have good heat, and a very good fan strength. It is a tiny bit quieter than the normal Lasko heaters I buy.
But the thermostat is non-functional. I'd say it's a little strong for an under the desk heater, because it gets pretty hot in the front. But that's about as far away as you'll want it because it never shuts off. I used my old Lasko to death, but I got this one thinking it was identical. The point of the thermostat for me is that I can leave it low, and in theory, it turns back on when the room dips below 50. It does not. The swing I've seen so far is that it won't manually turn on at 46 degrees, and it won't turn off at 60. That's a big gap. So I've given up on this being a background heater. This is just on or just off.

First the positives: nice size. Chugs out a good amount of heat and the safety features are nice. The price is very nice as well. portable with a helpful handle.
But the negatives: temperature control is mostly relegated to "off, on, and blasting". It definitely doesn't heat a room fully (maybe a bathroom, but not a full bedroom). But the most negative: it was fine, working well, and two months later went completely dead except for a whining and the small of burnt plastic/burnt hair/horrible burning whatever. The plug in the outlet was hot to touch, the smell was coming from the cord and the heater itself. Maybe a faulty heater, maybe something that just happens all the time. regardless, if you're looking for high-powered space heaters, maybe splurge a little and go for something more durable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good value, but heat output is uneven
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2020
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
This heater is being used in my Covid home office (well, my basement office since my wife has the "real" home office upstairs. It's cold down there and my feet get cold, so this heater is used to blow some warm air under the desk. In general it does what it says it will do with a couple of minor complaints. One is that the heat is not uniformly distributed at the output of the heater. There is one fairly narrow "hot zone" that makes me either need to move my feet to keep them warm, or to constantly redirect the heater. If the flow was a little more uniform it would greatly improve the utility of the heater. Second is that the two settings only increase heat output, not air flow. Heat output is more than good enough, but I wish there was an independent control of fan speed (maybe a two speed fan). Lastly, the safety switch on the bottom is a little too sensitive. On my carpeted basement floor I have to firmly push the heater down into the carpet to get the safety switch to engage. Still, all-in-all, this is a nice little heater that does the job of keeping my feet warm in the dungeon.

After opening the heater, I took it out the box and plugged it up. I was so upset because it turned on and then shut right off. I thought to myself, "oh my goodness, I'm going to have to return this heater". I didn't realize that it was the shut-off button underneath the heater that was causing the problem. I am accustomed to built-in shut-off features with heaters. This heater has to be on a flat surface for it to run. It's not just a safety thing for me. It can be irritating. Once I realized it was the safety button underneath the unit, I looked and found that the heater was hanging a little bit off the table and that is why it was shut off. That is why I said the safety button is sensitive. Other than that, the heat output was good and it was quiet. It is a good thing that the safety/shut-off/tilt feature is sensitive as far as safety. Nothing better happen to that safety button or you will not get any heat. It is very sensitive. Next time, I'll get a heater with a built-in safety/shut-off/tilt feature.

However, i think maybe a small unit needs a fan size small enough that it beats the air and makes more noise than some others? yet my tower heater is quieter and fan maybe same size? Tower takes the same floor space costs nearly double but worth it. Heat ability similar to tower though. If it is for the garage work area it is fine.

If you are looking for a space heater to turn on and blast at you this is a powerful machine that puts out heat. I was looking for something that would have more of a temperature control. This item claims to “turn the heater off when it reaches a preset temperature and turn the heater back on when the temperature dips below the thermostat setting” but I call foul. I used this in a very small office and the temperature control was non existent. Returned in hopes to find something more accurate that can regulate better.

The thermostat only has one mode.
On or off. It’s not adjustable
There’s no adjusting the heat with that.
There is a fast and faster mode. To turn the heat up more. But not to turn it down.
But with that being said. The lower mode gets hot quick. If you move it away you can’t feel it. So you have to find a medium range
Disappointed. But it did only cost 35$
So I’m not surprised.
It does turn off when you tilt it or it falls over which is a good feature to have if you have pets or children knocking it over.

This heater is NOT quiet and neither the manufacturer nor Amazon should advertise that it is. It sounds like a heavy, window-mounted air conditioner in mid-summer. It does put off enough heat for a small room. I notice no difference in heat or sound regardless of how it's set - 1500W full blast is identical to 750W at the lowest fan setting. The heat is the same and the noise is the same. This heater is safe, even on carpet. It sits upright and a kill switch is on the bottom, so if it tips over, or you pick it up, it shuts down immediately. For the price, it is acceptable to heat a small room. Don't expect it to heat your living room or garage.

Love this heater! It's tiny but powerful. I keep it right at my feet under my desk and it keeps me SO warm (my office is FREEZING). I used to wear long-underwear under my work clothes, and use a blanket, I was so cold before this. Now I don't have to even wear a sweater! I even have to move my feet sometimes because they get so hot. The only downside is that it doesn't have an automatic shut-off. I forgot to turn it off one night and came back with it still on.... not a huge deal since it turns off if it falls over, but I'd like to be an additional feature.

My office was still pretty cold and I noticed that the light on the hater was off, as if it had no power going in. I unplugged it and plugged it to a number of different outlets, but still no power. It looks like the device is broken. What a shame.

I purchased this product thinking that the product title is truthful when it said "Quiet". However that is not the case of this heater. Nnot sure if mine is defective or if other users have a different experience. This heater produces a very loud droning fan noise with intermittent clicking noise. The sound is so loud that I have to turn it off during my meetings.
Pro:
It does heat up a small area well.
Safety feature is on point - will stop if you pick up or if it tilts/falls over.
Con:
Extremely LOUD! If you don't mind the loud droning/fan noise (imagine sitting in front of a bus engine idling) then go for it. Don't be fooled by the false claim in the product title. I have vacuum cleaners quieter than this little fan.

I have not reached out to the company regarding any possible return. But I didn’t want to leave a review based on this heater I bought at the end of October. It was great. Did the job. Heated a very small room extremely fast and had a great safety feature if possibly tipped over.
The heater worked great up until about three weeks ago. It began to periodically shut off with no way other than to wait a very long time for it to work again. It would do this at various points of time. It would happen immediately after turning on and sometimes would run great throughout the night. I never had on full blown heat as it produces a high heat. It’s last night of use, it ran for about 10 minutes and has not turned back on. It was a sad and slightly chilly night.
Ran very well for three months.

This product has over 11,000 reviews and the ratings were mostly in the 4 or 5 category, but this was not my experience.

However, other than turning it to the absolute lowest position (which actually turned it off), there was no difference in the heat output. Similar issue with the fan. I could set it for just the fan, or there was a position 1 or 2 for low or high for the heat. There was no difference between 1 and 2. I gave this product a "2" because it did produce a very substantial amount of heat, but with no way to control it, it's not going to work for me.

Got this for my basement where there's a draft. After trying to follow the instructions (very poorly written and confusing), I set it at highest heat for 30 min just to test it out. After 30 min there was (based on an external thermometer I put nearby) a whopping 3 degree increase from ~50 to ~53 degrees. In fact, despite the warning to keep it 3 ft from all objects, there was no discernible heat within 2 ft of the front of the heater. Maybe I just got a dud but I am baffled by the reviews for this crappy heater. Should have gone with a name brand like Lasko or Honeywell. And since Amazon now has their crappy system for returns that are designed only for people with phone internet access, I couldn't even be bothered to return it. Going to goodwill. Maybe it would work for someone in a 4 x 5 ft bathroom. Big waste of money.

This was a great little space heater. Used under my desk. Great features - quick shut off if tipped over, solid temperature control (and it can get hot if you need it), 2 heat speeds, or just run the fan.
But it suddenly died after only 3 months of use. Purchased October 2020, died Feb 2021... just after the return window closed January 2021.
I gave it 2 stars because, despite its pitiful lifespan, it does have good features and it died with grace. I turned it on one morning and after only a minute, it shut off and I smelled a strange faint burnt smell. Then it never worked again. So no overheating or anything dangerous, which is good.
Maybe I got a dud, but I'm pretty upset this only lasted a few months. And it's still pretty dang cold where I live so I am not pleased.
My previous space heater was by Lasko and purchased on Amazon. It lasted 4 years of use during the winter seasons.
I do not recommend this, and I'll probably avoid this brand in the future.

It should be working because the "kick-over" switch is pressed in but doesn't. And I could not figure out how to message the company directly to try to get a replacement and I didn't want to purchase a new one because of the problems that I have had. I also know that sometimes companies upgrade products and learn to make them better...I am not sure if this is the case, because I do know that outside of the mentioned issues the heater worked great and put out a lot of heat.

We set the temperature to about 74 degrees and backed off the knob so it would turn off. 1st day it worked and kept the room at setpoint. 2nd day We checked 3 hours later and the room was 80 degrees. Good thing we checked before going to bed because the heater may have ran all night and something terrible could have happened. I believe the internal thermometer became faulty and it didn't turn off the heater like its suppose to. So make sure you check it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Makes heat - Thermostat not good
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2019
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
This thing works fine with the exception of the thermostat. The temp swing on the thermostat is completely unusable. We're talking at least a 12 degree temp swing. Example: the room I put this in was 68 degrees. I slowly turned up the thermostat knob just until the unit kicked on. It heated the room to 82 degrees and was still running. I slowly turned down the knob just until the heater kicked off. I left it there, and the room cooled down to 67 degrees and still didn't kick on.. Completely unusable unless you are there to turn it on and off to achieve the temp you are after.

2.0 out of 5 stars The thermostat does not turn the unit on and off to maintain a constant tempature.
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2021
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
Ok except for temperature control. It has the first so called "thermostat" that I have ever seen does not maintain a constant temperature once set by cycling the heater on and off. Once turned on it just runs. I placed it in front of a 3 burner gas heater that made the room very warm and the Give Best just kept running even though the thermostat knob was only 1/3 of the way towards the + symbol.
The description of the product on the Amazon website stated:
"It will get the heater to cycle on and off according to if the room's temperature reaching heater's setting temperature"
The Give Best Instructions Manual & Owners Guide that came in the box with the unit states under the heading thermostat instructions: "The heater will not automatically maintain the set temperature by cycling the unit on and off."
The Merriam-Webster definition of a thermostat is "an automatic device for regulating tempature." The Give Best unit does not meet this definition.
I was attempting to replace a Sunbeam heater that is 10 to 20 years old that has a "real thermostat" that cycle's the unit on and off for my requirements. I am still using that heater as needed and will not be using the Give Best heater. Very disappointed.

I love these little heaters so much that when the first one I purchased finally quit after almost 2 years, I didn't even bother comparison shopping. I just purchased the same one again. Well, it just quit on me last night after 4 months. There was no power surge or weird environmental changes. It was keeping me toasty one second and then it just died. It was so weird that I thought maybe the wall plug itself died, but it is working fine.
I'm SO disappointed. We have to be a thrifty household right now, and I can't afford another one. So now we have to ride out the rest of the cold weather wearing layers indoors and carrying a blanket around with us like Pig Pen. What a shame.

Used it to hear a small classroom, but the unit did not heat up the room, nor did it feel warm while the kids were sitting right next to it. The settings were on max high heat, but it was ineffective for what I needed it to do. Bought it because it advertised safety and was planning to use it around young children. It just didn’t provide enough heat. The room temperature was around 60 degrees. We all wear coats and shoes, so we are fine, and the room does get really hot in the summer, so we are outside a lot. Doesn’t make sense to install a heater, because I use it for only an hour once a week.

I bought this specifically because people said it was quiet. Meant for my child’s room at night so being quiet is important. Plugged it in and turned it on and thought they shipped me a hair dryer that looked like a heater. This is not a quiet device. It is noisy. I couldn’t sleep with this in my room if I were heavily sedated and had ear plugs. It would be fine for other purposes but it was advertised as being quiet and suitable for nighttime use. It is not.

After less than 4 months of part time use, it has quit functioning. I will have to verify what the warranty and return policy is on this, but changing my review since it is unreliable. I'd guess I'd used it less than 10 overnights per my below review and now its toast. Bummer.
I bought this to actually keep pickup cab heated overnight while parked during cold weather. Keeps the windows and windshield from frosting or icing up. Have yet to need it on full power, does good job at ~ 1/2 output. Very much like the anit-tip feature, knowing it shuts off if it falls. I set it on center console and let it run. Heat does not get directed down at all, so console doesn't get hot or burn/melt. Saves a lot of time not scraping ice every morning.

So, I've used this product for less than a year (8 months), and it did it's job heating up the room in a timely manner. What's prompting this review is that all of a sudden, it started making a screeching noise when I turn it on, thus, making it unusable. I don't believe it's okay for a product to only be functional for less than a year from point of purchase. For those reasons, I recommend a product that lasts longer than 8 months.

I purchased this little heater at the end of September 2020, less than three months ago. It’s sole purpose was to keep our bathroom toasty only while we were occupying the room during the extra cold winter months. It worked great at first, I loved the simple temperature controls and the size and amount of heat it put off! I even liked the safety features that caused it to kick off if “knocked over”. After a few weeks of light use I noticed the heater was becoming more and more sensitive with its kicking itself off, sometimes you had to pick it up and set it down a few times before it registered it was not knocked over. Then it started just shutting off while in the middle of running. Now on December 8, 2020, the heater will not even turn on. The pin in the bottom doesn’t matter if it’s triggered or not, I’ve taken it out and put it back in, nothing works. The heater just will not turn back on. I guess I should be thankful it is sure to not burn my house down, but I would at least like a heater that heats for more than two months...

Product works well. Chemically sensitive users, or people who dislike smells, may want to run it outdoors for a while during its initial run. It smells like the materials it was made out of. I pre-ran mine outside for an hour on high, prior to bringing inside and it still had the smell. So, back outside it went for bit longer. All else considered, it’s a good deal for the price,

1.0 out of 5 stars Died after two months
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2019

So disappointing how this thing just stopped working. I bought it in October because it was getting cold and we weren't getting any heat. It's light and easy-to-use, and the handle makes it convenient to move.
The settings are OK, with a fan, 1 and 2 option that can be adjusted high to low on each. However, on the high to low level, when you go past a certain point it just stops working. Which probably doesn't really matter because you need to keep it on the higher settings to get any heat.
With all of that, for the price, I was willing to live with it. Then it just stopped working! No warning, no overheating or burnout. Just stopped functioning. Not even two months and it is going in the garbage.
So, all in all, it was a waste of money.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Little Heater That Died
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2020
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
3 MONTH UPDATE:
Unfortunately, this little guy stopped working out of the blue. Conveniently for the seller, my return window closed 9 days ago, so I'm unfortunately out of luck here.
Some additional observations as I've used for the last 3 months is that the fan is relatively loud. I didn't mind it as it's just background noise, but I imagine it would bother some people.
It was great, nice and simple while it lasted, but just hard to give anything more than 1 star to a product that I used maybe 30 minutes a day at most, and is no longer operating 3 months later.
Initial review below:
This little guy is perfect to use as a personal space warmer. I don't think it's fair to expect something this small and cheap to heat up an entire room. However, I've had great luck using it to warm up my work space at home, or just to give me a little bit more warmth when I am going to bed.
Simple controls with two "heat" settings (I just typically use the warmest setting). I haven't made use of the temperature control much as I prefer to either have it on or off at my own control.
I live in in the Southwest, so it can only get so cold in my region (maybe around 40 degrees on the coldest days).

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Built to Last!
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2021
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
This product is not built to last. I've bought two of these now (returned the first one and exchanged it) and both of them lasted about two months before they broke. During that time, the heater did a decent job of heating up my living room. I can't complain about that, but two months of working operation is ridiculous! The biggest problem might be a selling point for a lot of people. For fire safety, there is a little safety switch on the bottom that automatically turns the heater off if it tips over and loses contact with the floor or whatever surface is underneath it. This mechanism is very cheaply made. It is basically a little piece of plastic with a peg attached to some kind of spring and this thing is guaranteed to wear out in a very short period of time, and unfortunately, when that mechanism wears out, you won't be able to turn the heater on anymore. This second safety switch actually wore out about a month after I received my second one. I ended up taping it down, but I only got another month of use out of it. It just died! Oh, well. At least it's spring time. The two I bought got me through the winter... But that was all this thing was good for. I'd invest a little more money if you can as this heater proves the old adage: You get what you pay for!
So why does this have a high rating? Because the first two months of use, the heater works really well, and I bet that's when people write most of their reviews. It would really help the consumer for people to delete or amend these positive reviews.... Or maybe they got much luckier and got way more use out of this heater than I did. Somehow I doubt that.

I don’t know what the unit’s thermostat temp is. My home was 70 degrees when I tested it. I don’t care if it was 80 or 90, I want the unit to generate heat regardless. So, unless I put the unit in my refrigerator and tried turning it on, I was unable to determine if it even worked. This heater was not for me so it was returned.

After several days of having to manually nudge the heater's thermostat to turn it on and off I have finally realized the heater is of no use to me since the thermostat control simply isn't reliable. This makes the heater worthless since I have to wake up several times at night to nudge the thermostat to keep the temperature within a 10 degree temperature range.

BUT, the heating option smells horrible, there must be an issue with the wiring. I thought it would go away after long term use but since day one it continued to have the same smell. I am disappointed overall in the product and would not recommend to buy.

After a couple of months of use, the lettering on the top dial rubbed off which, while not the biggest deal, indicated it's probably not the best quality.
Recently, however, the automatic shutoff stopped working, which means it remains on even if it's knocked over (as you can see in the video). This is clearly dangerous, and I recommend staying away from this product.

!!!DO NOT PURCHASE! STOPPED WORKING AFTER 2 MONTHS!!!
The heater is surprisingly powerful for a personal heater, a little too powerful for office use in my opinion but great for home use. The fan button on the right where you can adjust the flow is COMPLETELY FOR SHOW AND DOES NOT WORK, it literally has two options: on or off. When you turn the fan down it does nothing until about the halfway mark until it just turns off.
The Heater options on the right also is primarily for show. The heat setting II is very warm and the fan option runs just the fan and can keep you cool but the Heat setting I feels like it is no different from Heat setting II and it just there to make you think you got more for your money.
On the bottom is the safety on off switch. It stopped working after 2 months and now it won't turn on at all. So now it doesn't run at all and is a paperweight.
PURCHASE A DIFFERENT HEATER, THIS ONE IS GARBO.

After first giving this product a good review I realized this is not long term. The Safety buttons is what starts the downfall of these space heaters. I wouldn't recommend using it as often. It has its purpose to fill the room with heat but it gets worn out quickly. The first space heater lasted a month even after fixing it manually the stupid thing just finally gave out. Second one was on its last leg a week ago. Yesterday was its final kick.

I’m sure the heater is great but I am less than happy that the “one day shipping” took a week! The ONLY reason I bought this one was because it clearly said one day shipping and being that the weather got cold where a friend just moved and their heat is not yet on. So it was important that it get there quick. One week later of temps as low as 30 it finally showed. Very disappointed. If you advertise one day shipping you best do it. Should have gone to Walmart instead.

I bought 2 of these - one for upstairs, one for downstairs. Great size, weight, heat output and turned off every time I moved it from one place to another. But, on the first one I was using at my downstairs desk, after about 20 minutes I went to unplug it and the plug was hot and I burned my hand on the metal prong; I thought, hmmm I need to be more careful with this. The second one I used upstairs and plugged it into an industrial extension cord to reach my bathroom. For 2 days, running it for a maybe an hour total, I had been unplugging the extension cord from the wall when leaving the room. On the 3rd day, I tried unplugging the unit from the extension cord, and the plug had become so hot, it had fused itself to the extension cord. I threw both the unit and the $30 extension cord in the trash and bought another brand.

I wanted a heater for my home office and I thought this would be a good option. I turned it on and it shut off within minutes without really heating. I tried everything that the instructions stated with no luck. It just kept shutting off and it never did really work. I contacted the mfg and they were nice but absolutely no help at all. I am hopeful to get a replacement but I would not recommend this product to anyone at all.
Update - I got a replacement quickly but it was not the same model and I paid $28 for the original broken heater and they sent me model PTC 1901 which works great but is $8 less expensive so I am out $8. Don't buy this product. Just buy from someone else.

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2021
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
I needed a heater for my office (11x13) which is on the 1st floor of my home but sits over the uninsulated garage. It would get so cold in this room even with the thermostat turned up. I turned it up on high when I first got it with my door closed. Wrong move. I was almost nauseous because it got just that hot. That was completely my fault. I loved it and the tip feature was very sensitive which I loved. If I had it on the area rug on the edge, it will turn off. Once I sit on the rug or carpet flat, it would kick right back on. I often find it missing because my husband takes it to his office (in the basement). He really needs to get his own! I've used it pretty steadily for a few months, but just today, it seems like the safety feature is no longer working. I can knock it over and it still will run. That's a little disappointing. Not sure what happened with the safety feature. It would be five stars if it weren't for that.
Next Review 11/10/21
I had the last review in drafts since I purchased it and apparently never published it but I thought it still might be helpful. ...
We purchased this heater and had been using it in the colder months. I just pulled it back out and we've been using it regularly in my office for about a month since I work from home now. Today, my son was standing behind it and we were talking when sparks started flying and it was literally on fire. I pushed my son away from it because his foot was right behind it and I unplugged it and quickly took my son out of the room. I returned and picked it up and saw the black marks on the back of the unit. See the picture I attached. If we hadn't been in the room, this heater would have definitely started a large fire in the room. There are some serious safety issues that I should have heeded when the initial tilt safety failed. DO NOT BUY.

We should have listened to the other 1-star reviews. The heater will work well for a couple of weeks, and then it will just stop. Ours was in the middle of working, it just shut off, and it hasn't turned back on since. Of course this happened right after the return window closed, so we are stuck with a non-functioning heater. The "safety" feature which causes the heater to stop working if it tips over is very cheaply and poorly made. Other reviews mention dangerous conditions, which our heater didn't ever cause, but it doesn't work at all. Go to walmart and buy a space heater there.

The heater has been a fantastic item for the year we have owned it till recently. We have only used this to heat up the bathroom on very cold mornings and for SC, those are very few. We noticed that when we used the heater this year the cord was getting very hot. We tried it several more times just to see if the first time was a fluke and the cord and plug were VERY hot to the touch. The plug prongs actually slightly burnt the skin when I touched them after only using the heater for a few minutes.
We cut the cord and threw the item in the trash.

I use this heater so often because my room gets so extremely cold ?? and let me just say, this is an absolute life saver! I love all of the safety features it has and it has blown my expectations away. I have a large master room and with this on, it’ll get my entire room quite warm in 30 minutes. There’s a little smell every time I initially start it but it quickly goes away after a few seconds. This product is so cute and small but it is pretty powerful. I 100% would recommend this to anyone who’s looking to warm up your large space. Overall, I love this heater and after months of frequent use, it’s been going strong!! Definitely worth your money.
2-25-22 update: it broke several months ago since I wrote my previous review. Lasted only a few months and my partner had to fix the bottom safety latch multiple times for it to turn on and work. We had to tape up the bottom but unfortunately had to weigh the risks about no safety switch in place anymore. After months of fiddling with it, it practically decided to give up on us completely and would barely turn on anymore despite any interventions made. So disappointed that it broke down this bad. Do not buy if you intend on having it work long term. I’d also like to mention that we used it as intended and on regular use so we had no clue as to why it broke so quickly as we were not at all rough with it.

I’ve had this space heater for a few months now and I’ve started using it regularly during these winter months. I honestly had real complaints up until now as it (kind of) does do it’s job for my relatively small apartment room. I will say it does take a while (30+ minutes ish) to make the room not bitter cold.
I’ll normally take a shower and leave it on the 2nd heat setting (there’s only two) so that my room is warm when I come back. Yesterday I came back in my room from my shower and it looked as if somebody was smoking pot… and there was a very distinct burning smell, almost like a cheap hairstyling tool but worse. I’ve been noticing a decline in the heaters performance for a while now (i.e slower/taking longer to heat the room/not getting as hot) but brushed it off since I had been using it for a few hours almost everyday. I’m now scared to even plug it back in as I don’t want to come back from my next shower with my room up in flames. Definitely too late to get my money back or anything so I’d recommend finding a safer space heater than this one for those deciding.

I ordered what I considered a very safe heating unit as a friend of mine at work let me use hers in my classroom when my classrooms heater was broken. ( I was working from school when my students were working at home for online instruction) My room is very large being approx. 50 x 60' in size. It was positioned 6' from my desk directed towards me at an angle because it was a very powerful strong little heater! It did a fabulous job heating up my room quickly!!!
I LOVED this little guy so much that I ordered one for my home for the basement area for it gets very chilly when we run the gas fireplace upstairs, as we usually run our GEO thermal heat but give it a break from time to time in this cold weather... So I bought this for one of my cats who sleeps downstairs because my 14# younger cat upstairs likes to pounce on her ( not in a good way), and we have to separate them.
I was excited to get this heater went to plug it in ( after I let it get to room temperature first), and nothing....tried it on 3 separate marble floors and found out that if I physically tilt it a bit towards the front it would turn on.
I consider this very dangerous being that I can't rig that function by leaning it on anything for that is the safety on/off switch and do not want a fire...HUGE FIRE SAFETY RISK!!!
So I called the company wanting to send it back and get a replacement. I called the company customer service number got a live person, not dead....and she was very kind but to get a return response would take 24-48 hours through an email ....so I ordered another one on Amazon that will be here within 3 days instead .
Very sad about this ordeal as I was so excited for my kitty......on a separate note we have been using a 4" tower heater by Lasko that is fabulous but the output heater is too high for her as she is on the ground sleeping in her cuddly bed and too old to get in her tree tower to enjoy the heater.
So we will wait 3 days and I know she will be so happy to get it!!

This heater arrived smaller than I expected however there was a short in the power chord. Every time you moved the heater the entire thing would shut off. The power chord also got super hot and made the outlet hot to touch as well which seems like a fire hazard or safety concern. I did not feel comfortable leaving it on overnight. Lastly, the heater only warmed you up if you were 1 foot away. Anything further you wouldn’t feel a thing even on high heat. You really had to have it super close by to feel anything. It’s good for a feet heater like under a desk but not to keep a room warm or while on the couch.

I purchased this based on reviews, thinking I couldn't find a space heater like one we have had for over 11 yrs in our bathroom. Ordered it in February and didn't use it until early May, when our temps here in NC were bouncing all around and just wanted to warm up our bedroom occasionally. It worked GREAT for 6 times (yes, I've counted them). Two nights ago, on a chilly night went to turn it on, just knowing it would work and warm up the room before we went back, and NOTHING. DEAD. Very disappointed and of course in my opinion,it is a piece of junk. I'm aware reviews and experiences are very different. Too bad I didn't use it when I ordered it and it would have died in the return period. My bad I guess. But I'll find another Pelonis like the one in the bathroom that has functioned so long. Man, I get so tired these days of planned obsolescence in things that used to work for years and years.

This heater worked fine for a year. Then the safety switch broke and now it doesn't work at all.
There is a switch at the bottom that detects whether the heater is flat on the floor and shuts off when you pick it up or if it gets knocked over. The physical switch inside the unit seems to have snapped or broken and now the heater doesn't work at all.
I tried opening it to see if was something stuck that could be fixed, but that's not the case, as you can see from the photo.
Also, when it did work it was difficult o regulate the amount of heat. It was either boiling hot or lukewarm. No matter how you adjust the dials, those are the only two results.

Like most inexpensive personal electronic heaters, this one has a microswitch on the bottom. If you lift up or tip over the device, the microswitch trips and prevents the unit from working, saving your house from a fire.
UNFORTUNATELY, the microswitch in this unit is positioned too close to the heating element and/or is made with inferior plastics. As you can see in the attached image, the red button (required for the switch, and subsequently the heater, to function) is melted.
This happened after about 10 months of use. Sure, the heater is cheap, but if this critical component can fail, what else can fail? Spend more, buy a better unit with more internal space to prevent critical components like this from failing.

Good Morning,
I am, again, following up on my request for help regarding our ceramic heater. I’m assuming I will not hear anything back from you as this is about the third or fourth request with no replay from your company at all. I have also made multiple phone calls to your number -888-928-8289 - and been told that I would receive an email within 24 to 48 hours of my call regarding the status of my claim/concern. NOTHING!! This morning I tried to call and again, NOTHING!! I am therefore going on Amazon this morning and putting out a negative review regarding your customer service (lacking). I have visited your website and I does appear to be a beautiful website - I hope you treat your online customers better than I have been treated.
We purchased 2 of these little heaters on September 29, 2019 and we received them the first part of October. It was purchased for my husband who is in very poor health and very cold. It really helped, while it worked. We purchased 2 so we could have one in each of the two rooms he is able to be in. One DIED within about 2 or 3 months. I have been trying to get some kind of a reply about this heater since then. If it is out of warranty it would be good customer service to at least reply to my multiple phone calls and emails. Even if it can not be replace, it would be GOOD customer service to at least reply. Therefore, because of your poor customer service I will be leaving a negative review.
UPDATE: Received new heater this afternoon. It started right up and hopefully will last longer than the 1st one did. Too bad I had to leave a poor review to get customer service to reply to my phone calls/emails. I do appreciate them finally getting back to me regarding our purchase. Time will tell.

This was a magical little device for the first three weeks I had it — small, lightweight, and outrageously powerful. I live in an old building that struggles to retain heat, and this thing had no trouble keeping up. But after three weeks of perfectly functioning, I plugged it in today and it immediately crackled and started to smell like something was burning. It was working fine the night before and there’s no obvious damage to the unit so I’m not sure what happened - but it’s clearly a safety hazard. Really disappointing. Thank goodness it at least crapped out before the refund window closed!

I have had this heater for less than 3 Months now and the Fan quit working on it, so I contacted Amazon about getting a refund, and they want me to ship the heater back to them and when I told them I did not have a Box big enough to place the heater in they just ended the chat, talk about poor customer service. I am going to try again and see if I can obtain a refund for this very cheaply made space heater.

I guess I read the product description wrong but I thought this had a thermostat to set the temperature to. It doesn’t and so it keeps running until you turn it off. I wanted this for my bedroom to use at night while I slept. Since it won’t turn off and on its own throughout the night, it’s not for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars FALSE ADVERTISING AND JUST PLAIN BAD QUALITY
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2020
Color: SilverVerified Purchase
FALSE ADVERTISING: The description clearly states "...and turn the heater back on when the temperature dips below the thermostat setting. It will cycle on and off." However, the instruction manual that came with the heater says "The heater will not automatically maintain the set temperature by cycling the unit on and off." Additionally, it really only heats a small area around itself, definitely not the 200sq foot room it claims. It is also MUCH LOUDER than I expected. I've seen some reviews say they wanted it for the bedroom but I wouldn't be able to use this to sleep. It also SMELLS AWFUL. Not just when running it, but just in general. I smell it in whatever room it's in even when its just sitting there turned off. Terrible purchase.

Many of the ladies at work use a small space heater like this under their desks or close to them to stay warm. I bought this as a Christmas gift for a co worker and after 15 minutes of the first use it stopped working and hasn’t started since. Unfortunately I purchased it early and the return window has closed. What a piece of junk. I’m embarrassed to have given it as a gift and mad I lost my money. So you know, during the 15 minutes it worked, it emitted an irritating noise that I had hoped would go away after a minute. It didn’t until it stopped working. Overall, this product totally disappointed.

I bought this back in February for my office because the AC here it's very cold all year round. It hasn't even been a year since I bought it and it already broke for no reason. It's always been in one place which is under my desk. Never took it anywhere, there's no reason why it should be broken, it hasn't fallen or nothing drastic has ever happened to it. Now it doesn't even turn on. I've try to work the little handle at the bottom of it that controls the turning on and off and it does nothing, it's dead so, if you want a disposable heather that's only gonna work for a couple of months and then you have to get a new one then this is for you. otherwise I recommend to buy a different brand. Very disappointed because it's only 10 months old in which it has been actually working for about 4 months because of covid everyone had to work from home for a while.

first of all heat control knob is wobbly, ???? big question here? did it get messed up in shipping
plus no matter what setting of heat you have it it's the same, unless its in the very low,
the fan control, no matter what setting you have it its the same... unless you turn it off,
on top of that when its on for a while the plug in cord gets pretty warm, cause it does not turn off and on automatically, even you have it on low...
one thing it is on the quite side... only one good thing, but I do worry about it for not turning off an on by itself.. maybe fire hazard because the plug in get on the hot side???
I will consider it a donation, too much trouble returning it, since I don't even have the box anymore!!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2021

Very cheaply made. It does its job, though, which is to heat. The difference between the settings 'fan', 'I', and 'II' is noticeable, but, I'm not certain the temperature knob on the left does anything at all. It's quite loud when it runs. The safety shutoff switch that is supposed to turn the unit off if it is tipped over or lifted off the ground broke for seemingly no reason. Also, it smells terrible when unpackaged and for about a week after that.
UPDATE:
I bought this in January and used it for a few months. Stored it for spring and summer, took it out last week (November). It worked for a few days but today it won't turn on. Next time I'll spend a little more and hopefully get something that will last.

1.0 out of 5 stars Heater is poor quality and "Customer Service" is worse
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
The description of this heater indicates that it will cycle off and on based on the temperature of the room. This has not been my experience. As others have mentioned, the unit is really either off or on, depending on where the dial is set. It could be that my unit is defective so, with this in mind, I reached out to the customer service email as requested in the product packaging. What a waste of time -- they said they would "take my concerns to management who will give the matter their utmost attention". I then asked whether they would exchange the unit and heard nothing back. I will return to Amazon, no problem, but why would the manufacturer request that a customer contact them instead of returning an item and then do nothing to fix the problem? Puzzling. Anyhow, this is obviously poorly made and the customer (no) service is worse. I agree -- spend a little more on a better quality product.

This product has a switch in the bottom that is SUPPOSED to ensure it is only turned on when it is right side up on a flat surface.

So if you want to encourage dangerous behavior and have a fire hazard in your home, order this product.

After about 2 months of use I heard a crackle-snap and the unit turned off, never to work again. Glad it didn't spark up a flame for me to put out (never run a space heater when you're not in the room with it).

I chose this "Give Best" heater over others I researched because it said the unit will cycle on and off to maintain a set temperature. The only way to achieve this is either by having an onboard working thermostat or asking your pool boy to manually turn this thing on and off at your command. I do not have a pool boy and this heater does not have a working thermostat. So I will be returning it first thing in the morning. Do yourself a favor and trust all of the reviews which say this thing does not automatically turn on and off to maintain temperature. You could let it heat your room up to 158 degrees and then it should turn off automatically.
