Buy Dr. Infrared Heater DR968 Portable Infrared Space Heater

Customer Ratings:

This is an attractive unit that is easy to move around and safe to touch when the heat is on. I have tried many 1500 watt space heaters. The others tend to warm only close to the heater and are very expensive to run! I have it in my bedroom (150sf with 12 foot high ceilings). Set on low, it heats the whole room evenly with comfortable heat for very little money. I ran it every day for 4 hours in the morning during the winter and sometimes all night. When I compare with last years bills for the same months, the additional cost to run this heater was only around $4/month! After using it for two winters, I just purchased a second heater for my larger living room space of 500sf with 12 foot high ceilings. With the outside temperature in the 50's, it is again warming the whole room evenly while maintaining my living room temperature at 70 degrees.

A couple of minor issues to mention: First, it has a fan. I don't find it noisy, but it does make some background noise. And second, it has an initial smell that goes away quickly. I am very happy with this heater!

Have been searching for something to work. It takes the chill out of the air; it doesn't run all the time; it's quiet, small, and easy to roll! We are so relieved.

Have the Electric Fireplace; have a variety of space heaters; all either are limited to what area they heat and cost a lot; or just plain don't work. This is so nice!

Honest reviews on Dr. Infrared Heater DR968 Portable Infrared Space Heater

Heater worked great the first several times I turned it on. But then the heater would only heat if I was cycling the mode button. When I stopped the heat would turn off but the fan would still run. I called customer service and they had me take the front plastic panel off and loosen two screws and presto that did the trick. It has worked great ever since.

I would prefer it would be slightly bigger than it is, but it puts out good heat, so it does the job.

I am so glad I finally purchased this little gem! It works great and is very quiet.

It has provided the warmth we haven't received from our heat pump. We placed it

in between our family room and kitchen, where we spend most of our time, and it

heats the space nicely. I just recommended it to my Dad for his condo.

Discount Intermatic FF2H 2-Hour Spring Loaded Wall Timer, Brushed Metal

Customer Ratings:

This timer has a lot to be desired. First the timers I received would not twist to a lower time if it had been set to for too long of time than first intended. This caused me to have to wire a defeat switch in the wall to turn the timer off early. Big time pain. I have several of this type of timer from Intematic. It would be nice to have a clutch on the time setting shaft so the time could be altered after the timer had first been set.

Simple to install but the fan or appliance it is connected to needs a separate on/off switch as once it is activated the appliance cannot be turned off using the timer itself. The audible ticking down is soft enough to be acceptable. Works well here in Australia with our 240v power supply. Easily fits our standard wall fittings though you have to drill two screw holes to in order to fix it to our wall brackets. Pity I could not get this in a white color at the time of purchase as it would have been better had it matched the rest of our electrical fittings in the home. For us, these were used to control bathroom Exhaust fans. All members of the family are pleased with the results.

I read a lot of review about this product before I made my purchase. What I noticed on a pretty consistent basis is that the people who posted really negative reviews were people who don't actually have one because they think the heaters are too expensive. Lets' settle this up front, these heaters are expensive so if you're looking for a bargain then this heater is not for you. If, however, you're looking for a stylish way to heat your home or maybe just an individual room then I think this heater is a great. I am completely satisfied with my heaters. I have 2 of them, one for my bedroom and one for the living room, dinning room, kitchen area. The total square footage of my house is just shy of 1,000sq ft.

The heaters have kept my house an nice and even 67 degrees (my preferred temperature) without any noticeable fluctuations in temperature. I live in Ketchikan, Alaska, which is in the middle of a temperate rain forest. This means that we don't get the extreme cold temperatures here, but it certainly is not "warm" very frequently. I chose to go with electric heaters because electricity is much cheaper than oil where live and natural gas is not an option. I tried the cheap space heaters that people keep saying "will heat your house just as well as they Dyson for 10% of the cost", and I can tell you that they certainly do not maintain a consistent temperature the way that these heaters do. I saw that some people have complained that they're a little big "loud", but I don't really think so. After a few days I really didn't even notice when the heater was running anymore. I guess I expected that the heaters would make a little bit of noise since they're also fans and I've never had a fan that didn't make some noise. Overall I'm very satisfied with the performance of the heater. It does what I expected it to do, which is heat one 500 sq ft area in my house, and heat my bedroom which is about 300 sq ft.

So the real question is "is this heater worth the money"? To me, I say absolutely. They do what I want them to do, and they look awesome. I'm willing to pay extra to get something more than just utility out of a device. Are there no cheaper "safe" heaters, no other cheaper heaters that will heat just as well, of course not. There are lots of other heaters out there, and if you're getting this heater because you think somehow it's gonna magically heat your house better for less money, then you're going to be disappointed. If you are going to buy heaters anyway and don't mind paying a little extra for heaters that look cool, then go ahead an purchase this heater. I did, and I don't regret it. I liken purchasing this device to purchasing a Bose audio device. You'll have to put up with listening to people tell you about how you "overpaid for a name brand", but in the end, most people who have Bose audio systems are very happy with them. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with paying a little more for something you'll be happy with if you can afford it. So these aren't a bargain, but they are fun.

I'll start with a little scene setting: When the idiots who previously owned my 1914 farmhouse a long, long time ago turned the attic into a master bedroom (guest room and bathroom too), they didn't run the heat vents to the master. Because of this, I turn the house heat off at night unless we have guests. They installed a chintzy little built-in electric heater in the wall. The bedroom is 400 square feet with ceilings 25 feet high in center to 12 feet at the edge. The wall heater scares me. I've made it through four winters just fine, only occasionally needing a second blanket. Obviously we have good insulation, seals around the door to the widow's walk, and good windows (I keep one cracked at all times tho). Then I had surgery in early January and was forced to lounge around in bed all day. My SO stayed home to take care of me. In order to heat the bedroom to a comfortable level, the heat downstairs needed to turned on really, really high.

In checking out solutions, I discovered the Dyson hot was a fan as well. I was sold, having fallen in love with fans at my friends homes on hot, hot days last summer. Also since the heat comes from the center of a void, my dog won't interested. They have been known to sniff the vent front on a fan and that part heats up with a space heater. Also dog hair collects on traditional fans (and therefore heat fans). Pugs shed a lot, but with the Dyson Hot, the fur stays on the ground. But everyone was sold out of them, and the company selling on Amazon was marked up $50 over the $399 price tag. On a post-doctor appt. trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond to buy throw pillows to elevate my arm, I saw the Dyson Hot in white was $100 off (blue sold out, but I was in too much pain to care about the color).

After reading reviews, I did not know what to expect. We set it up in the middle of the room on the floor at an angle from the wall, so it would oscillate past the bed (its a platform so low to ground) and I turned it on at 68 degrees fan level 2. I was freezing. It took maybe 5 minutes for me to stop freezing. I didn't really pay attention to it and went about lounging around uncomfortably in bed. I heard it going on and off. It's not loud, but it does sound like a fan. Obviously the higher fan speeds means more noise, but not loud enough to say have to turn the tv off or wake me up.

When my SO came to check on me he commented how the room felt really warm with a noticeable temperature difference between hallway and bedroom. Warm and happy, I turned the fan off for a while and turned it on as needed throughout the last few weeks.

Basic Observations:

1. On Oscillation mode it heats up a 400 square foot room to a comfortable temperature. I am not a person who thinks a room needs to be 80 degrees--more like between 68 to 72. With my arm in a crazy contraption, I can only wear tank tops and the like, so I'm not bundled up. The Dyson Hot keeps At night, I put the Dyson Hot on 66 and eventually turn it off when I get too warm under covers. It heats a decent size room quickly AND COMFORTABLY.

2. On fan speed 2, you can feel the heat from about 10 feet away. It's not a hard blast pf hot, but a warm breeze as it moves by you. 10 feet is where my head sits if its on edge of bed. I didn't test further distances. I also didn't test the stationary mode.

3. It's sitting on hardwood floor. It's not wobbly and it doesn't heat up on the plug or base. The dogs sniff around it a bit, but haven't burnt themselves, although the inside has a warning it gets hot. I didn't touch it. But most importantly, it's sturdy. I've used oscillating heaters in the past (at work) and they always wobbled and would fall easily.

4. Through our really bad winter storms last week, it survived a couple brown outs. It also kept me warm.

5. It has both the thermostat and the fan speed. Much more control than the usual low, medium, high. The thermostat is on the base pointing out instead of on top, so you can actually see it when using remote.

6. I've used the fan a couple times and it offers a nice cool breeze throughout the room.

7. It's not whisper quiet, but than neither was the $150 whisper quiet space heater I had at work.

it is the same audible level as the Dyson fan.

Cons:

1. Moving between the heater and fan is clunky, requiring you to lower the temperature to 32 to turn on fan and up too 66 to turn on heater. I would have liked a button to switch.

2. The remote is supposedly magnetic with the top of the fan. Mine is not as far as I can tell. I keep the remote on the nightstand so not really a problem.

3. No timer. Not necessary, but would be a nice feature.

So yes it's expensive, but if you don't have the money for it, than don't complain about the price just don't buy it. I don't see that as a con. I am willing to pay extra for a safe, reliable room heater that also has a great fan. All of the ones I've used or seen at friends houses have always sucked or are scary like the one stuck in my wall. And not all of those are that cheap anyway. It's not going to substitute for an actual heater in the house, but its an excellent option to add extra heat to a single room.

Update: now that I'm not on bed rest, my SO has been using the Dyson hot. He's more of a crank it up until the room is an oven, he puts it on 86 or so and leaves it on for a while. It really does crank the heat. This thing is warm!

Update 2: After two months of continuous use between January 20 and March 20, 2012 in the cold, cold Seattle Winter including snow (no other heater in bedroom), my bill was $13 more in 2012 than in 2011. So it seems pretty energy efficient.

Best Deals for Dyson AM04 Hot + Cool Heater/Table Fan

There are a lot of negative and positive reviews of this heater and very little in between. Here's my take. First, I paid $260 at Costco...at the $400 list price I would have a different level of expectation, but I'm judging based on what I paid.

It's quiet as fans go...I found it to be a very reasonable sound level. It warms our upstairs nicely (we have a wood stove to heat downstairs...I'm not heating a 1000 square foot detached garage, so I don't know if it's up to that job). The rotating and tilt features are great for our needs to spread the heat around upstairs from the hallway. Controls, remote are all nice, easy to use. It's very small so you would have to practically get on your knees to hit the controls, but the remote eliminates the need for that. The compact cylindrical shape makes it easy to place in small areas. It produces a decent jet of warm air...almost a tube shaped flow.

The exposed surface (inside the ring) does get very warm, BUT not what I'd call dangerously hot. I have a 4 and a 6 year old. If they tried to hold on to the surface as long as they could they might be able to burn themselves, but when I touched it it slowly got more uncomfortable...I pulled my hand away after about 5-10 seconds, unharmed. So I think the kids would feel hot enough that they would pull their hands away well before they got burned. Same for a inquisitive pet sniffing around. With a toddler my concern wouldn't be so much getting burned but knocking it down. I think one could place it outside a baby/toddler room and let it shoot the jet of heat through a gate (leaving 3 ft between the unit and the gate).

It has overheat and tilt safety which I like, although I think the safety shut off for the tilt should kick in a lot sooner...I have a cheap heater that shuts off at about 10 degrees. The Dyson seems to have to be 80 degrees or so...could be a problem if it falls partially on to something and remains on, leaning against it (like a pile of clothes). That should be improved.

Like most of these heaters the cord is only 6 ft so it does make it hard to place (because extension cords are not supposed to be used).

I recommend it enough that I wanted to write this to counter some of the negative reviews.

Honest reviews on Dyson AM04 Hot + Cool Heater/Table Fan

I bought this product because it was not just a heater it is both a heater and a fan. This product works and works well. We have a large second floor bedroom that gets cooler in the winter than the other areas of the house. We have already had temps of 38 at night and by setting this heater at 72 with the swivel turned on and tilted up warms the room very quickly and then stops while the thermostat waits for the temp to drop. So I do not have to adjust the furnace to compensate for this bedroom. The remote control is extremely simple to use and the read-outs on the front are clear and easily readable. I have tried other heating units and this is by far the best.

I chose this because Dyson products have an extremely good reputation. I have one of their vacuums and it's great. This heater is so nice--really heats a room but slowly and keeps it at an even temp. Quiet---no sign of fire or flame or hot tubes. Doesn't use a ton of electricity. So very pleased!!!

RugbuddyTM 165w Under Rug Space Heater, 3' X 5' Review

Customer Ratings:

Bought the rugbuddy to warm the oriental carpet in my attic office. We have a 100 year old house with cold wood floors, and thought this would be just the trick.

After getting the rugbuddy set up under my carpet and turning it on, I was surprised how long it took to warm the carpet and floors at least 4 hours. But this is probably a function of how much cold floor it has to warm. After leaving it on for a full day, my workspace was warm and toasty, and even my shoes would get warm while I work. I guess that's pretty good for 165 watts of heating.

I would love it if Rugbuddy sold a carpet pad to go under the heating pad, ideally with foil facing this would definitely help it to warm faster and send more heat upward.

All in all, a very good purchase.

Hi, the small living room in my basement apartment gets cold because it lacks the house water radiators found in my other rooms. I hoped putting a 3'x5' RugBuddy (RB) under a rug, added to my current 1500W Lasko silent electric heater, would be enough to keep the 14'x11' room warm. Short version: it'll heat the rug, but won't raise the room temp, even in a small room. A standard portable oil-filled radiator will do more to heat a room.

Long version: Once I had the funds -this thing ain't cheap -I bought this size RugBuddy, and the recommended KlimaGrip rug pad and PlugBuddy thermostat directly from Speedheat. Once received on a warmish winter day, I laid the thing out and plugged it in. An hour later, I could feel slight heat if I pressed my hand down on the RB. About the same heat as an electric blanket on its very lowest setting, much less heat than a heated car seat. At about an inch above, barely any heat could be felt. I figured it was defective and called the company's support line. After I briefly explained the problem, customer support guy asked if I could feel any heat at all. Yes, I answered, but not much. Then he began to tell me how I needed to understand that this product only uses 165W so it won't be as powerful as other heaters. The spiel was delivered as if he said it dozens of times a day to similarly disappointed customers. I figured at that point, this product was a dud. Customer support guy said that the RB works better if actually placed under a rug and above the rug pad. Okay, I'll try it. But it made no real difference. Before I returned it, I wanted to measure the temperature using the thermometer on the PlugBuddy thermostat (which by the way, is a not-repackaged LuxPro PSP300, LuxPro PSP300 Programmable Digital Thermostat currently for sale on Amazon for half the price). I took a temperature reading of the rug, then I installed the pad and RugBuddy and put the rug on top, then waited 2.5 hours, then took more temp readings. Since I couldn't find any independent reviews with details or temp figures before buying, I've decided to write this review to help others.

The results:

-Starting temp of rug & rest of room: 65 degrees

-Temp if thermometer placed on rug with RB and pad, after 2.5 hours: 78 degrees

-Temp if thermometer placed six inches above rug with RB and pad, after 2.5 hours: 67 degrees

-Temp in room, on table a few feet away: 65 degrees

So the rug itself was 13 degrees warmer, but six inches right above it was only 2 degrees warmer. For 200 bucks, I expected more than two degrees half a foot above the rug. I wouldn't be disappointed if this thing were advertised for just warming a rug, which it does. But the advertising and labeling implies it'll actually help heat a room (e.g. "Save energy by only heating the rooms you are using"; "Space heater" labeling.) It's not a space heater, it's a rug warmer. If you lie on the floor a lot for some reason, it might be worth it. But if you're hoping to help heat a small room, even just raising the room temp a few degrees, don't waste your time and money on this. It won't help. I doubt bigger RBs would make any difference either in terms of a room's temp.

The company did accept a return and gave me a refund without any trouble though. By the way, the Lasko 5620-series heater, Lasko Products 5620 Space Heater Electric Portable Beautiful High Quality Excellent Performance, works really well. It just isn't powerful enough to heat the room fully on its own.

Best Deals for RugbuddyTM 165w Under Rug Space Heater, 3' X 5'

I had a rug pad already, so I separated the rug (It's a thick carpet rug) and placed the rugbuddy in between the pad and the rug. The instruction says to lay on it for more than 5 min, so I did. I started feeling the warmth of the filament within a few minutes, but not enough to generate heat into the rug. But probably 15min or so later, the rug was nice and toasty...my cats started gathering on it and I was too! I love that it's safe and totally silent(obviously). Now I can be away and still leave plenty of warm spots for my kitties. Money well spent!

Honest reviews on RugbuddyTM 165w Under Rug Space Heater, 3' X 5'

SpeedHeat Rugbuddy 370 Under Rug Space Heater, 5' X 7'I first saw/heard of rug heaters being used in the very small rooms in Japan. We bought our first one because of a huge increase in our electric bill after a garage conversion to office space where an electric heater was installed. The cement slab seems to hold the heat when using the rug buddy and work well under our old wool area rugs. The room has good insulation and double paned windows. During the spring and fall we have been only using one (5'x7')of the two rug heaters and the space has been comfortable (temperate climate of 35-45 night temps and 50-70 daytime temps). The space is 10x15 feet with standard 8 foot ceilings.

We liked the effect of using the rug heaters in the office so got a rug heater for our living room. Our living room is approximately the same size as the office space with wood floors. The 2x7 1/2' heater in the living room takes the chill off the living room this fall. We have the timers set to turn the heaters on an hour and half before we get home from work or up in the morning. So far we haven't felt the need to turn on our furnace. As a supplemental heat source the rug heaters are working well for us.

Although an investment, if the rugheaters help lower our fuel oil usage by only one tank the rug heaters will have paid for themselves and put some cash in our pockets. For our old small house the floor heaters are great.

I have a heated floor in my bathroom. We also have a small unheated fully enclosed sun porch. The porch is attached to the house on two walls, has an 8' ceiling and consists of a ceramic tile floor and 6 double pane e-glass floor to ceiling vinyl windows on two outside walls. In the winter the porch gets cold. So I saw this Rug Buddy on Amazon and figured it'd work like the heated floor in my bathroom except the heating element is of course above the tiles rather than below. I saw descriptive words like, "space heater" "toasty" "radiant floor heater" "like an electric blanket" and figured this thing would be just the ticket to take the chill off our porch. Amazon recommended I get the Lux plug-in thermostat too, so I did. A few hundred bucks later the stuff arrives and the instructions say I need a rug pad to separate the rug buddy from the floor. Ok, so I pop $$ for that too. After laying it all down, plugging it in and waiting 24 hours all I can say is, where's the heat? I mean seriously, a $20.00 candle would put out more BTUs than this ridiculous thing and at least the candle would smell nice too. The Lux thermostat which I set at 68 degrees is utterly useless because the room can barely muster 48 degrees and that's with the Rug Buddy on for hours and sun shining in. So here's the deal folks, I'm being charitable by saying that what the Rug Buddy really is, is a rug warmer, not a rug heater. Nor is it a space heater or what I would define as a "heater" of any sort. Unless your idea of heat is to get down on all fours, place the palms of your hands on the carpet and say, hmmmmm? I think it's warm, sort of, I guess. Any electric blanket you've ever experienced puts out a lot more heat than this thing does, heated car seats do too. The bottom line is, if you want to throw a rug on your floor then make it juuust warm enough to take the chill off then the Rug Buddy is for you. Pretty expensive for such a tepid result methinks.

This bed is very comfortable and almost nearly waveless. I knocked a star off the review due to the lack of instructions included with the mattress. You actually receive two mattresses with a thermal barrier piece to be placed between the mattresses. I was concerned about the seam between the two mattresses, but so far it has not been an issue. I like being able to get in and out of the bed without disturbing my husband, and we can keep each side of the bed as warm as cool as we wish by adjusting the heater for that mattress. It provides a firm support without having pressure points. I wake each morning refreshed without the aches and pains associated with sleeping in regular bed.

Update September 18, 2013

I woke up today to find that one of the corners of the bed is leaking. Since I've only had this bed for a little over a month, this points to a lack of quality control. Very disappointing, since otherwise the bed is very comfortable.

Update October 31, 2013

I contacted Amazon and they shipped a replacement mattress. So far, so good. No leaks and very comfortable. One thing I noticed is that the first mattress had a very strong vinyl smell several weeks after it was installed, the replacement mattress does not have the strong odor.

I bought this for a cat bed for an outside feral cat that has adopted me. She sleeps in the garage and I put this in her bed when it gets cold out. It warms up nicely and does get soft when it's warm. I don't think it really stays warm for 12 hours. Usually I check on her around 6:00 in the morning and it's already started to firm up again and is only slightly warm, but that could be from her sleeping on it. That's the only disappointment I have with this product, is that it really doesn't stay warmer longer. However, it is definitely better than that round microwavable disc that I bought last year. The cover is tough and easy to clean. As an inexpensive bed warmer, that doesn't require any electricity, I do recommend it.

I purchased this for our new cat to keep her warm during the winter nights but I don't think it's what I was looking for. It just doesn't hold heat long enough. I warmed it up at about 9:30 pm (it doesn't get squishy, the stuff inside goes form rock hard to liquid, nothing in between)and placed it under a towel that was folded into fourths length-wise in the hope that it would be more comfortable and maybe stay warm and soft a little longer. At 7:00 in the morning it had hardened and I could just barely feel the slightest amount of heat when I put my hand directly on it. The cat loves it when it's warm, I just wish it had lasted longer. It's also not big enough, you'd need two to make a full platform for the cat.

I bought these because I have a feral cat colony. I have used the round hard disk ones for a couple of years and just love them but thought these might be more comfortable.

They do not hold the warmth for more than about 3 hours. The other ones hold it all night. Really a waste of money if you are going to use them for longer periods of heat. I tried heating them for 8 minutes which is double the average time and still they just don't hold the heat for long. I will buy more of the original ones.

After one month they are leaking around the seams. I do not know if that stuff is poison or not but I feel it is not safe. They are going in the garbage and I can't get a refund according to the refund policy.

I purchased this for our adopted feral at my office. Even though we are in Florida it has been really cold, so I thought this would be perfect for her outdoor shelter. So glad I tested it first.

I purchased this product about a month ago. Following the instructions, I heated it by minute increments to get the proper amount of time to get it squishy and warm. On my microwave it was 8 minutes. It feels like a liquid gel on the inside. There is a slight plastic smell on it but it goes away after a few days.

I bought two, one for each of my cats. One really is too small for a normal sized cat to lay on, maybe just one half of their body. At first my cats were hesitant because of the water sloshing sound and the smell of it but now they are used to it. My cats sleep with me, so I just tucked it under the comforter where they laid by my feet and they snuggled up on it. Like other reviewers have noted, it doesn't retain heat for 12 hours as advertised. In fact, it starts to cool within two hours and hardens into a brick by morning. I swear you can whack someone with it, how hard it is, haha. Anywho, it was a decent enough product in my eyes, until it started leaking. I'm not talking burst open and flooded out the contents or anything, but a slow ooze that shows up as a ring around the edges. At first I thought maybe I put it on a wet plate in the microwave, but not true since it didn't feel damp. I changed the bed sheets a couple of times and each time I noticed a greasy square shaped stain from where the warmer was. Gross. Luckily it seems to wash out in the laundry, but stillI paid over $50 for the two of them and shouldn't have to deal with a greasy heating pad. Too bad I just missed the return deadline. :(

This is the 3rd winter I have had this stove, and my wife and I are very impressed as to how it has performed. Our family room is in the rear of our house (added on), and it has always been difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature. Since I didn't have either natural gas or propane at my house, I researched everything carefully before my purchase. I ended up having my local propane company provide a 100 gallon tank (it usually lasts at least a full year), and I installed a flexible gas line to the new location. It was actually pretty simple for anyone who is handy with tools.

Since the installation, we have found we can decrease the thermostat setting for our house furnace a full 5 degrees and be perfectly comfortable in the family room. There was a noticeable drop in our overall heating costs the past 3 years. When you add that to the ambiance of having a fireplace, and the fact that there is no mess involved, this is one of my best purchases.

I live in the mountains of Colorado and needed a natural gas heater solution. After searching the internet, this stove seemed to meet my needs due to its high BTU rating, nice looks and some comments made by folks on various websites. However, once installed, it did not work. After several calls to customer service, it turned out that this stove does not work over 4,500 feet elevation (I am at 7,000 ft). Nowhere did it say this anywhere in all of the sales brochures published nor on anyone's website. Customer service did say it this information was posted on their website. However, I did not buy it from their website. Anyone who lives at higher altitude should avoid this product.

I was concerned if this would work at my home at 7,800 feet. It was very difficult to heat above 60 degrees with large windows in the front of the house. Another reviewer gave it a single star for not working at 7,000 ft. and mentioned he was using Natural Gas which may have been his problem. I have a 500 gallon LP tank and use it for central heat and the kitchen stove. Propane is under a higher pressure than Natural Gas. It worked so well I installed one heater in my bedroom. I have it at the lowest heat setting when it is 18 degrees outside at night. I no longer need my electric blanket and my dog loves sleeping in front of it.

One of these stoves is the Living Room under a large picture window. It works like a charm. I no longer close the blinds and have a great view of the snow capped mountains around the house. This raised my living room 15 degrees in a lttle over an hour. I did not purchase the blower for the unit since I have ceiling fans. I just turned them to rotate clockwise and the air is "sucked up" and distributed around the room. I no longer heat the whole house but just the rooms I use.

After getting out of the shower in the morning I can wear a towel while roaming around the house still dripping wet, make coffee and take my time getting dressed before going out into the snow to get my newspaper and clearing the driveway.

After all the work it is nice to have these "space" heaters keeping me warm in previously "cold" rooms.

Honest reviews on ProCom Dual Fuel Stove - 25,000 BTU, Model# QD250T

I purchased an antique home in the summer and was told the floor furnace was great by the inspector. When winter came, after the house filled with gas TWICE had to disconnect. After a winter with no heat (and of course no water since pipes freeze), I was a VERY motivated buyer. This little stove (with the blower) sits in my living room. The 1100 sq. ft. house has no other heat system. Even when temperatures drop to below 0, my house is toasty warm. Because my house has doors and halls all over the place, I do place a floor fan in front of the hall from the living room towards the bedrooms. This helps move the warm air into the bedrooms and bathroom. Houses of similar size and from the same time period with central heat on my block run around 150 dollars a month to heat in the winter. My house runs between 20 and 35 dollars a month. The temperature is kept on 55 when I am gone during the day and 70 at night. However, it only takes a short time for the little stove to warm up the place. Also, I have hard wood floors. My stove doesn't sit on a platform of any kind. There has been no damage to the floor in the 6 years the vent free stove has been heating my home. A bonus is that the heat dries clothes on a little wood drying rack within hours. This saves money, is "green", and puts some humidity back into the house. Another added bonus is the flickering of the flames. They are just a delight to watch dancing after the lights are out on a cold winter's night.

I bought this two months ago and finally had it installed today. I cannot say enough how great this little stove is! We bought it for a renovated basement area for warmth and ambiance and it gives plenty of both. We did not purchase the blower because the room is only 400 sq ft, and I can say for sure now, it wasn't needed for us. The instant heat filters out at a pretty decent pace and the room is warm within minutes.

I put this together on my own with no problems, and the install went smoothly. I chose this based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on other websites and also because of the price. Our installer was very impressed with it and plans to recommend it to others as well.

Best of all, it is very attractive. Before it was even installed we had it sitting out during a party and it became a topic of admiring conversation: our guests asked us to invite them back to enjoy the fireplace after the install.

I noticed an earlier reviewer that was angry mentioned receiving a different model, and I want to point out, we ordered from this seller but the fireplace is slightly different than the picture above. But fret not I think it's much nicer! There is no 'ProCom' logo on the front. I was happy about this because I thought it looked a little cheap with that. So I have to say I am 100% happy!

****** Update

We've now had this in use every day for a few weeks. It is in our basement, and we have found that it is not 'overwhelmingly hot' in our space because much of the hot air rushes up the stairs and is also heating the first floor of our home, so we've hardly even had to run the home furnace at all. It makes all the rooms feel comfortable and cozy. WOW. I can't wait to see how much this lowers our winter gas bill!

I installed this today in my garage. This heater looks small, but it heated my garage ( 4776 sq ft ) in about 3 hrs. At first there was a smell of something burning. The smell lasted about 2 hrs and it was gone. So far I am very happy with this heater. Great price

In the winter I can be comfortable, but my feel cold, when working at my desk. I like to have a small space heater at my feet to even things out. The Impress fan fills this requirement nicely.

The fan control has only 1 speed, but features 4 settings, 1) Off, 2) Fan only, 3) Low heat and Fan, and 4) High heat and fan. There is also a thermostat control which allows you to specify how much heat you want. The unit is stable and produces a warm airflow which can be felt up to about 6 feet away. The relatively low fan speed means it is very quiet. (I can't hear it at all, but surely there is some noise.)

The fan is made of plastic, and the heat is calibrated to be low enough for this. I have nudged it with bare feet, but never found the unit too hot to touch. It does not seem to have a shutoff, for when the unit is knocked over. I haven't knocked it over yet, but I did turn it face up and down to check for a shutoff.

Other than the shutoff, the only thing this unit could use is an estimate of what temperature corresponds to the thermostat settings. It would be nice to have some idea what to set it too, rather than just picking a setting and adjusting if it seems too hot or too cold. As part of the instructions, this shouldn't be that much of a change, in an already good product.

I recently bought this desk heater for work. You wouldn't think it gets cold in Phoenix AZ but it does. I sit in front of a window and there are drafts. I wanted a heater that wasn't expensive so if it didn't work that well I wouldn't be out much money. I am very pleased on how it works and you control the temperature and fan speeds. The fan is quiet and I appreciate that when I am on a phone call. I really like this heater and I highly recommend it to those whose desk area is cold. Also, the size is great so it works well on your desk.

I purchased this heater last week to use at the office when it gets cold. There are two fan speeds for the heater and it can also be used as a regular fan without heat. There is a dial on the side that controls the thermostat.

The unit is quiet and really good at regulating the temperature. Most heaters I've used in the past seem to make the area too warm before turning off, and don't turn on until it's already too cold. This unit turns itself off and on frequently to keep the temperature consistent.

There was a "heater" smell when I first used the unit and it was a little stronger at the higher speed, but it wasn't overwhelming and was what I would expect from this type of appliance.

The Amazon description of the product was accurate, there were no surprises when I took it out of the box. I'm very happy with the heater and it works even better than I anticipated.

Honest reviews on Impress IM-701 1500-Watt Compact Fan Heater with Adjustable

Good heater for the cost. Has multiple settings which can provide warmth or just a fan for any occasion. Also very quite while operating. Only reason I didn't mark 5 stars is because if you have it set on higher fan speed or high heat setting it has a strong smell when the coils are heated up. I have it for a small 10x12 room and hardly have to use either of those settings though.

Mine worked ok during the first two months I had it, but now the heating element seems to have shut down, completely and permanently. The fan still runs, there's just no heat. I've tried it on different days, with different outlets, and tried leaving it on for a while to see if it would warm up eventually but no luck.

Fyi, if it breaks after the Amazon return period (as mine did), the manual says you can return it to the manufacturer at your own expense and they'll send you a new or refurbished one within 10 days. I'm not doing this myself, though, so I can't report anything about how smoothly that process works.

Good value. It works well, it's light and compact. However it's a bit noisy. I wanted a discreet heater to use in my office, and it's not really quiet. One security feature includes a button under the heater which will turn off the heater if it rolls over. However, it will also turn off the heater if it stand on a soft surface (like carpet) which can be annoying.

I love my little heater. It keeps my feet toasty warm while I'm playing on my computer. I would highly recommend this to any one interested in purchasing a small room heater.

We bought this unit in January 2010 for use in our small RV. We used it on two trips. On the second one, the heater suddenly gave us a fireworks display of tiny sparks. It kept working, but we were uncomfortable using it without "supervision." Kind of like having a bad dog in the house. We couldn't use it overnight, for instance. Didn't think much about it over the summer, but we just plugged it back in to clean up the RV. It immediately sparked again. This time it smelled like an electrical fire and quit heating. It's in the dumpster.

The heater worked okay for a couple days, had a slight odor and was slightly noisy but not too bad. However, then it seemed to burn out. The light would come on and the fan would spin, but no heat would come out.

I am so bummed. I studied so many reviews before purchasing this space heater. This specific heater didn't have many reviews, but from what I read all over Amazon.com, Optimus is a great brand and this heater was very affordable. I only had it for 3 months and saw a little flame and heard a zap (that sounded like a bug zapper) and quickly turned it off. Of course it is past the Amazon return policy, so what a waste of money! I wish I knew how to contact the seller directly to get a replacement. I know that it is beyond the return policy, but they should make an exception for a fire hazard! Very scary. I'm glad I was in the room when it happened so I could turn it off as quickly as possible.
