We purchased this heater two years ago and liked it so well we have purchased three more. It is sturdy, well-built (with a cast aluminum element--no thin metal to make noise), and unobtrusive. It is absolutely silent. None of our units has ever made noise. Granted, it has no fan and works by convection only, but having a room heater without the fan noise or the incessant clunking is wonderful. We use ours as bedroom heaters and they work perfectly. Think of this heater as a small, supplemental baseboard heater.
This is the same unit as the Lasko 5605. Air King and Lasko share many products...

I purchased this to put under a window I use for ventilation during the winter. I have an exhaust fan in the ceiling across the room.This is perfect, even on low.
Sturdy build with a quality cord.
I think you will be happy and toasty if you invest in one!
Update 10/18/2012: This is the best purchase I have made in 20 years.
Update 3/11/2013: I adore this heater, I don't worry about it catching fire because it has no moving parts. The only problem I've had: one of the feet comes loose when I move it. Oh, well.

Honest reviews on Air King 8605 Low Profile Die-Cast Heater with Adjustable Thermostat
If you are looking to heat-up an entire room... even a small room... this is not the product for you. It has no fans to distribute the heat, and it does not produce a large amount of heat (though the top grill gets hot enough that you cannot touch it for more than about 2 seconds, before you would feel the need to withdraw your hand).In spite of that, I am pleased with this product, and I will tell you why:
I only needed to heat up a very small area... within about four feet of the heater... by about 5 degrees more than the ambient room temperature... to make the area around a personal office / computer work station more cozy on winter mornings.
It is able to do that... and unlike the vast majority of personal space heaters on the market... it is DEAD SILENT. No fans... and no periodic clunking / clicking / pinging noises.
If you only need to heat up a very small area (like around your desk), and you require not just "quiet operation" but indeed "absolutely silent operation"... this is an excellent choice.
If you are seeking to warm-up an entire bedroom... no... this is not what you want... you need a heater that has fans to distribute the heat around the room more efficiently... and yes, that is going to make at least a little bit of noise.
So I do recommend this item... but again... only for warming up a very small area of "personal space" in an environment where absolutely silent operation is preferred. Within those limitations... this product is a good choice.
