Pelonis Personal Mini Fan Forced Heater 3 Heat Settings-adjustable Review

Customer Ratings:

These space heaters will turn off for various reasons. I live in a leaky apartment with no heaters. This is enough to heat a small apartment like mine, but as of this morning I have absolutely had it with this heater. This is the coldest it's been this winter and I can't have this thing turning off while I'm sleeping. That's the whole reason I woke up and am writing this; I hate waking up with scratchy lungs from the freezing cold. I'm giving this product 3 stars because some of you might want a space heater that turns it's self off. I have noticed that it will turn off for the the following reasons: if it falls over onto it's face (which is great because who wants their floor to melt?), if there is anything too close in front of it, and if their is too much moisture in the air.

Good little cheap heater. It works well in a small room or down by your feet if they're cold. What I especially like is that there is an unheated fan setting that you can use to cool yourself off or just to use as a white noise machine. The heater is not totally quiet, but has a low fan noise that helps mask out unwanted noises. The only problem I have run into (I've had my fan for a year)is that when it's tipped over it stops, which is a good thing! However, it takes about 10-15 min for me to get it going again. If you choose to buy, check out Walmart as they are cheaper there.

I purchased this around November 2012 and it died today while burning it's plug and my wall socket. I will have to replace the wall plugs and return the heater. It was a noisy heater, yes but it did get warm. It was NOT on when it somehow started to burn on half the plug. Thank goodness I smelled burning plastic and unplugged it before any actual fire. I will not buy this brand again if I can help it.

Honest reviews on Pelonis Personal Mini Fan Forced Heater 3 Heat Settings-adjustable

I have not had the problems that Moniker reports in another review. In an effort to keep down heating costs, I've decided to try space heaters this year, and so far, the Pelonis heater has worked perfectly. I've kept it on almost all the time. This does not mean that it's been pouring out heat the entire time. For much of the time, it's been idle, waiting for the temperature to dip low enough to cause the heater to come on. And it's worked perfectly.

I use this heater in a relatively small room--about 120 square feet--with small animals that I don't want exposed to too much cold at night. So far, all is great. I have two minor quibbles, but they are truly minor, at least when compared to the cost (under $20 when I bought it). The first quibble is that the thermostat is not very accurate, and there is no degree setting, meaning that I cannot set the thermostat for 74 degrees or anything like it. I have to set the thermostat by feel. The second quibble is that the fan itself is not all that strong. I've tried to use just the fan in order to test it, and let's put it this way: I don't think I'll be using this heater in the summer to try to keep cool. Still, as a heater for a small room, it's worked perfectly.

One additional note: As I write this, there is one other review, which reports that the fan shuts off if there is too much moisture in the air. I live in a dry climate, so I cannot say one way or the other whether excessive moisture presents a real problem.
