Summary: Masterful little thing
Comment: We have 3 of these little wonders, one in our bedroom, one in the guest bedroom and one in the media room. With the central heating these rooms are heated all the time and with these little wonders we can use them when we need them and they warm up a room pretty quick.
Will advice anybody to buy them!

Summary: Pretty Good Value but ...
Comment: Some of the reviews give the impression that this little heater will heat a small room but I disagree. I ordered one because of the positive reviews and the low price and I am happy with it but please get real. Using the 400 Watt setting and putting it on the floor directly in front of you creates a silent lower leg warming device that's very compact and looks to be fairly well built considering the low price. It's less effective up higher and using both bulbs(800 Watt Setting) will spin your electric meter around arousing the attention of your landlord as would a device that had a fan and made noise. So in that regard this is a very handy unit. According to the directions there are no user serviceable parts so when it fails or one of the bulbs burns out, you'll have to send it back to the factory with a $15.00 dollar check for handling(if the failure occurs in the 1st year but not in the 1st 30 days). Keep in mind that that does not include your shipping charges which should be in the ten dollar range. If the failure occurs in the 1st 30 days all you have to do is ship it to the store you bought from for a refund or replacement(you'll still be out the shipping). If the failure occurs between years two and three then the handling charge goes up to 20 dollars. For all practical purposes this means that when the product fails, it's history. This includes a bulb burning out.

Summary: Good heater
Comment: This is a good heater. It is great for the garage where you don't want to heat the entire air space. It warms like the sun, so if you stand next to it you definitely feel heat. Works as described.

I only wish for 2 things:

1. A thermostat.

2. It could be built out of nicer plastic. This plastic feels like if you drop it it WILL break. I do not know this for sure, but I am not going to test it if I can help it.

Summary: I love this little heater
Comment: A fine little quartz heater, the top element heats first and when running it on HI it consumes only 800 watts, about half of most quartz heaters. Very light in weight, silent, it warms you quickly and does a great job! Far better than the little $20 reflector unit made by the same company (the heater that looks like a little fan), I got both and THIS is the one to buy!!
