Review of Holmes HCH4830-U Oscillating Twin Ceramic Heater

Customer Ratings:

I bought this heater because they keep the temperature so low at my work. Some days I can't even type because my fingers are so cold! I plug this little heater in every morning, and it keeps my cubicle nice and warm all day. I love that it has not only "Hi" and "Lo" settings, but also different temperature settings. The oscillating is another plus.

Note though, I don't plug this into my cubicle's outlet that would more than likely cause a fire or power overload. I plug it into a wall outlet that is next to my cubicle.

My unit is quiet and it does throw a lot of heat. The oscillating feature works well and appears to be robust.

The controls are incredibly simple and easy to use, with 1 button cycling through all combinations of power levels and temperature settings and 1 switch for oscillation.

However:

1. The thermostat and control unit at the top is poorly ventillated and is heated by the elements.

2. The control unit generates a lot of heat. This warms the temperature sensor as much as 10-20 degrees F above room temperature, so the heater will only warm the room to 60 to 70 degrees F at the highest setting of 80 F.

Of course this is a good thing if you want to save energy.

The Holmes Space Heater is what we expected-good. There was a pad on the bottom (1 of 4) missing when I received it. Holmes sent me a another heater.

Honest reviews on Holmes HCH4830-U Oscillating Twin Ceramic Heater

The heater has been working great so far, no problems, that I have seen, looks good. The biggest somplaint I would have is that even though it is digital as advertised the steps are too big between the settings. 5 degrees is kind of steep between 70 and 75. 75 can be too high and sometimes 70 can be too low. If it is on 75 might as well just have it set to continuous, on 70 it can leave you wishing it would come on because the room is cold. At least one more step at 72 would have been useful. Other than that, the output is great even when set on low, have not really even needed the high setting so far.

This machine is handy for a small room. It definately gets hot. I really like that it has so many setting options for heat temp. I also like the way it oscillates I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because what I don't like is that the vent grille kept coming off the back. It is definately not a quiet machine. It is a little too loud if you don't want anyway to know you have it under your desk and gives off a vibrating noise when put on high.
