This heater works very well. I don't need a "fan only" setting in the winter (see previous review). Anyway, I bought it for an uninsulated attic bedroom about 16x12. Keeps the room warm, runs quietly, and doesn't have a noticeable effect on the electric bill. The remote control adds to the convenience. If you buy something else, be sure it has remote.

The description "includes a programmable thermostat with a 7-hour timer, allowing you to pre-set room temperatures for different times of day" is not true. This product is no different than other heaters that have a simple thermostat and a simple timer. You cannot "program" temperatures for different times of day. It doesn't even have a clock! No different than a Lasko which is much cheaper. I bought it to turn on daily at 5AM returned disappointed!

UPDATE:

Oct 10 2011 to Feb 15 2012 RIP.

Was used very heavily but I still think that it should have held up longer, at least a full heating season. Was not worth exercising the warranty.

Overall a decent compact heater.

The good:

Puts out quite a bit of heat.

Timer from 1 to 7 hours in hour increments.

The oscillate feature lets you distribute heat to more than one room.

Quiet.

Thermostat handy and works as expected.

Remote a nice convenience.

The bad:

A power failure leaves ti turned off, not suitable for untended operation.

Setting the heater to low sets the thermostat to max.

Power on gets you the High Max settings not where you left it.

Timer only turns the heater off; it could just as easily toggle it; that is if its set when the heater is off it turns it on, if the heater is on when it is set it turns it off.

The ugly:

The remote icons aren't terribly obvious.

It counts in binary octal. e.g. the timer goes 1,2,4 so you get all the numbers with 8 button pushes, but if you mess up you have to start over.

An OK heater for the money, the thermostat actually works unlike some of the other small ceramic heaters out there. If it didn't have the power fail and early death problems I would have given it 4 1/2 stars.

Honest reviews on Air King 8132 Oscillating Ceramic Heater with Programmable

We purchased this item as a chill chaser so we would not have to light our wall heater untill we had to. The temperature here is up and down, 40 one day and 75 the next. It works good for the large area we have it in, a front room dining room area. Its a little pricey but so far so good. We have used it about a month.

the temperature gage on this product cant be used unless you put it in maximum 1500. if you want to put it in 900 mode you cant regulate the temperature. also when you turn it off and turn if back on instead of being in low it is in high. so if the electricity goes out in the middle of the night i would have to reset it to low. i think it should be able to maneuver more easily and it doesnt. i was very disappointed.
