This item came within a timely manner but there were some disappointments. The cabinet's instruction sheets were half missing, some of the pieces were not labeled, and even though the fireplace fits it doesn't attach easily. After trial and error with the pieces the finished product looks great.

Review of Portable Woodburning-Style Large Electric Stove with Stay-Cool

Portable Woodburning-Style Large Electric Stove with Stay-Cool Surface in Red
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
We just started using this stove in our living room and really like it. It puts out a nice amount of heat. My 3 year old son calls it our "fireplace" and likes to have it on while he's playing. The flames are pretty cozy and even though they aren't super realistic, they create the ambiance of a fire. The fan makes an audible sound, but I don't find it to be unpleasant. The stove itself is quite attractive, but the color in the ad is totally misleading. It's definitely more of a dark brick red (almost plum) color. It's going to look really nice with holiday decorations on top of it. My mother-in-law came to visit and liked it so much that we just ordered her one as well.

I like the item itself but the dealings I had with the company is enough for me to rethink ordering again. Placed my order several weeks ago, received first stove about a week later and it was dented. I called, they sent a return shipping label and a replacement. The second stove came another week later and the metal strip that hold the glass in was broken off with broken chunks of plastic still screwed on it and was rattling around the box. I called again. They sent another return shipping label and another replacement. The third stove came and the door was broken. All 3 boxes, when they came were gashed and torn all over and there was no protection around the stoves to prevent any damage. I called and got angry and they sent one more return shipping label and the 4th replacement. The 4th stove came on Dec. 19th(this was for a Christmas gift). This one was in a box, in a bigger box. It was finally packed the way they should have been to start with. The customer service was very questionable and they did nothing to make up for the unbelievable hassle of having to repack and return 3 large heavy boxes.

I thought I had ordered in red, but black arrived. I tried it anyway! Very realistic looking flame and very warm. We use it in a foyer on a tile floor that is an unheated space. It has been great; no more cold drafts from that area.

I have a red one and the paint looks like enamel over cast iron. The logs look realistic, just like glowing embers, and the flame effect is fairly realistic. The room just seems cozier, and I find it relaxing. I have lived with a real wood stove...carrying wood in all winter, cleaning up the mess....this is a nice alternative! My cat is not impressed, but then he never carried firewood or offered to sweep up ashes.

I don't really like to use the heater, (I have seen how portable electric heaters can run up an electric bill) so I can't honestly rate it.

I think it may have been a little pricy because of the Plow & Hearth name. I paid around $220 including S&H...probably really only worth around $150. I looked for a couple of months before buying this stove, and there are nicer stoves out there, but you are going to pay a lot more money.

I think this is a good quality stove for the price range. You will have to attach the legs, and the doors feel a little flimsy (this is why 4 stars, and not 5). You should know that it is mostly heavy plastic, only the sides and back are sheet metal, but if you are just sitting back and LOOKING at it, it looks good.

Foutunately it comes with a remote, but sometimes you have to touch the button to turn it on and of several times along with the heater control. The flame and log adjustment on the remote seems to work fine. I am conssidering buying a different one and putting this one in my bedroom.

I purchased this heater from Sam's Club for $59.98. I also purchased the 1 year replacement plan for $5.72, just in case. I bought this heater as a secondary heat, our primary source being a wood stove. So far, I am very pleased with the amount of heat that is produced. It did take a while (couple hours) for our living room to heat up, but once it did, maintaining the heat seems to be no problem. I think for the money, this is fairly good product.

We use this heater as our main source of heat. During the winter we freeze and it won't heat the room over 57 degrees. We have to use a separate space heater in addition to this one to keep the room at a comfortable temperature. Our small heater puts out more heat and keeps our room warmer then this one does.

Honest reviews on Lasko Cyclonic Digital Ceramic Heater

This is a great heating unit. We use it in an office that was converted from a garage. The room does not have duct work from the house and it is very cold without the heat. This unit heats the entire room which was a two car garage so it is a very large space with a high ceiling, larger than more room sizes.

The unit is able to turn off and on automatically and has a very good thermostat that keeps the room warm all day. I usually turn it off completely in the evening and it is pretty quick in the morning to heat up. We live in the South so it is warmer. It might not do as well in the cold Northern spots.

My girlfriend and i purchased this heater at sam's for $60. we had this thing for a few months now and all i can say is this thing is under powered. It takes 8hours just to raise the temperature in the apartment 10 degrees, and it take 2 hours to raise the temp in our small bedroom to 74degrees. This thing also keeps tripping the fuses.

The photos make this fireplace look MUCH more attractive than it actually is. The outside is very nice but the flame pattern is not even close to the photos.

The flames actually only go up about 4 inches from the bottom and are very hard to see, even in low lighting. As a matter of fact the reflection off the bottom shelf is easier to see than the actual flame pattern itself. And this reflection would disappear as soon as you placed the stones on the shelf, which I will not be doing because I am packing this thing up and sending it back asap.

Also the photos make the unit look much more "flush mounted" than is possible. Looking at the photos you see a SMALL shadow around the outside lip of the unit, but all together this thing sticks out from the wall over 6 inches. And you can't set it into the wall because it vents to the sides and top so it would be a fire hazard.

This unit is especially disappointing because we have two other electric fireplaces in the house already, and we are VERY happy with those! The other units are the free standing kind built into fireplace surrounds.

The second star is only because the unit is very attractive from the front, but in the "off" position!

We were pleased with this product. We bought it for our bedroom and it puts off a nice ambiance. It looks just as it does in the picture, but I do agree it sticks out a little bit further than expected. We initially thought we would recess it in the wall, but the heater blows out the top so that is out of the question. It would not prevent me from buying it again.

It doesn't put off a ton of heat, but it will get the room (with the door closed) cozy after it's on a bit. The flames are sufficient. It comes with a remote control which can be used to dim the flames or make them brighter.

I would purchase this product again. It would be perfect for a 3 seasons room or bathroom with soaking tub.

In my effort to find an attractive "space heater" for my kitchen I found this item. I do like it and it is serving its purpose. That said, I found it a little beat up upon arrival but something I could repair myself. Secondly, the unit really needs to be placed on a wall that is only seen from the front side as it protrudes a bit from the wall which makes it unattractive if you enter the room seeing if from a profile. My remedy since I did not have a wall as described was to corner it. I built a corner support unit so it is properly suspended off the floor. I think they should offer one for purchase for those consumers who would like this but need to corner it.

This has the great quality that Zojirushi is known for. If you are looking for a good, well-made hot pot and boiler this is a great choice. Has a melody alarm to alert you when the water has boiled; you can select different temperatures to have it hold at, it has a slow dispense mode for brewing coffee using a single brew cone (coffee snobs might think it flows a bit too fast to allow for proper brewing), stainless steel means easy clean ups and with the magnetic cord, it is easy to plug/unplug and get the pot filled with water. It just works. Would definitely recommend. I purchased another one for my office.

RedCore 1500 Infrared Indoor Heater with Air Purifier and Humidifier Reviews

RedCore 1500 Infrared Indoor Heater with Air Purifier and Humidifier, Silver
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

Do not even consider buying this heater. It is terrible in so many ways. Online, this product looks to be sleek and modern looking, but when it arrived it looks like a hunk of tin from the 1970's. Second, the triple combo of purifier, humidifier, and heater sound good on paper but it was unable to handle the requests digitally. The purifier worked well, but the heater had a mind of its own. The digital thermostat was well below the actual temperature in the room, 5-8 degrees in fact. Then it would shut off at random times. The remote would not register the commands and had to be connected to the unit for it to work. When working the unit would make these sounds that could only be related to pennies in a dryer. Tried using it when sleeping, awful. If I had to buy this heater, I honestly would not pay more than $30 for it. Stay away; there is a reason why it is hard to find a 3-in-1 unit, maybe because it just isn't possible...

Got the 1500 model 26 OCT 2011. I have to read the instruction to make this work properly and it did. The quality is much better than my Holmes Quartz heater, infact I'll give it three & three-quarter stars for built quality. The heat is very good. I more than likely NOT gonna use this unit as a standalone Air Purifier and or Humidifier coz I have a standalone SHARP HEPA purifier and Humidifier that are "Library Quiet" that emits less than 30 Decibels fan noise. Set the red core 1500 on mid-size room at 78 Degrees F you might able to hear a very low fan hiss. Good thing that the fan speed adjust automatically as the temp is met. Time to retire my noisy Holmes Quartz Heater. Also I thought of the Amish fireplace look alike heaters, but I prefer the size of the Redcore 1500, its small enough and easy to move in any room in my house unlike those bulky amish heaters. Had I received a defective unit, I would have written something negative as well, fortunately I got a good working unit that I was able to test myself, I'll recommend it to friends, and will probably get a second unit.

An OK if overly complicated unit with usability issues. REVISED

I doubt that the first reviewer ever saw one, unless it was a different model or defective.

The Good:

Reasonably effective heater.

Fully adjustable thermostat.

Displays room temp +/-2 degrees accuracy.

Ultrasonic Humidifier adds about 3 to 4 percent humidity to a large room.

Air purifier seems to work well. REVISED see below

Controls are proximity not touch and should last.

Large fancy LCD display easy to read.

The bad:

Any momentary power glitch resets the unit to off. Not suitable for unattended operation as a result.

Controls are complicated and not as well documented as they could be.

The humidifier really wants distilled water. REVISED running one batch of tap water left it operating intermittently.

The ultrasonic humidifier ejects a plume of water vapor that can dampen stuff.

The controls are poorly marked and have odd interactions.

The controls are not illuminated so often hard to see

Air purifier is ineffective for pollen.

The ugly:

Because of the humidifier really needs to be elevated.

Controls are fussy, .

To use the air purifier you need to set the temperature then the offset time.

Timer is time to start not to turn off, It would be easy to have both.

Fan and humidifier aren't loud but not especially quiet.

Distilled water makes it expensive to operate.

Overall works so so but is unnecessarily fussy and suffers from phony reviews. As well as being relatively expensive.

...but it's more of a lovable early '80s ugly. Received this the day after I ordered it with standard shipping, on the 13th hottest day of the year. So far, everything is working as described. I'd purchased another brand with similar features last winter; that unit died within 24 hours, and a cheesy, '50s ugly fake fireplace displayed real flames after the second day, so at this point I'm easily satisfied. But -make no mistake, this has a thin hard plastic chassis, but make no mistake, all of these do, save for the wooden ones and the single metal unit I'm aware of. All of them are lined with metal; I don't know what protects the internal electronics from heat, but the instructions say if the filter is dirty the unit will operate very poorly. The main remote itself is quite impressive, rechargeable was an unnecessary and thoughtful bonus, and the main power switch is no-nonsense no-accidents heavy duty. While the previous unit was working, it spit out a whole lot of heat, more than I'd like (temp couldn't be set below 68f.) Theoretically these shouldn't be able to heat at all, as I read online infrared allegedly only heats water, and then only if directly in the path of the rays. So just be thankful this thing heats at all, and quit your complaining already. Defying internet physics -what more could you ask for at under $200?

And if you're afraid of guests complaining about how tinny it looks, do what I did: get a deeply discounted '60s ugly germ guardian from myquickby, guaranteed to divert attention from this cute little monstrosity.

First off, I got this nat gas heater at the end of November of 2010 for a 17'x 22' finished basement room with a 7' drop ceiling. I live in the Northeast so we get pretty cold winters here. This heater was purchased for a secondary back up heating system in the event of a power failure however, I use it daily and love it. My initial concerns before the unit was installed: plumbing gas pipe, ventless emmissions, CO2, odors and function(s). I'll address all the concerns as best I can.

-Plumbing gas pipe: Don't do it yourself, hire a professional, you'll sleep a lot sounder, a small price to pay for safety (it'll pay for itself in the long run anyway)

-Ventless Emissions: I researched here and there and everywhere, this camp is split from what I can see, some say there is and some say there isn't any, I don't know. The next thing I cover may or may not be related to this.

-CO2 and odors: I installed $40 Kidde CO2 detector 12 feet away from the heater and it still reads 0 all the time (I was expecting 5-7 ppm but I got 0, that's great). Now onto, the odors, yes there are odors, I'll admit that when I first fired this unit up I was greatly impressed with the heat output but wasn't at all happy about the smell. It was a chemical smell, which after the heater stopped running the smell soon went away within a minute or two. I would masked the odor with an air freshener when the heater ran and it was fine. It has since been a month and a half now and the heater has ran frequently on a daily basis and the odor/smell is virtually gone. A relief to say the least. I do smell it briefly at start up sometimes but that's only for a second or two. I think it was the paint/parts burning off that new heater smell so to speak.

-Function(s): Although it looks like there is, there isn't a digital thermostat, It's a 1 through 5 dial type which runs the duration of how long the heater runs with some internal temp setting (ex. setting 1 = 68-72 degrees). Flame height is the same always, temp dial does not regulate height. Flame is not like pictured, it's better, it looks like what's on your stove top. Flame is a nice blue, at start up I get orange streaks, I found out that's its only dust in the air, it goes away in about 15-25 min. The fan, basically is useless, poor design, could be a lot better, I don't use it. I have a 10" Honeywell table top swivel fan blowing across the heater, left to right, it's even with the top of the unit to circulate the heat in a circle around the room. My unit is not wall mounted, it is free standing on carpet, carpet does get warm to the touch but never hot. No electric required (unless you use the fan), the spark igniter runs on a AA battery (supplied), there is no pilot when it's off.

So how well does it work? Well, Freaking Amazing!!! It's instant heat!!! To get an idea of the heat output, if you have a gas stove, turn all stove top burners on at the same time, don't run the vent, put your hands near the vent away from the flame. I have 4 burners on my stove and that is what is feels like for me. The burner is this unit is about 16" long. At setting 1, once my room is warmed up, the heater runs for a minute or two then knocks off, it'll do this 3-4 times an hour. As for energy savings, I can already see it, I used to use a electric ceramic tower heater to heat (pointed at me) the room at $50+ a month more on the electric bill, that's no more and the whole room is toasty and to boot my gas usage went down slightly compared to the previous year at this time. Win, win, win.

Pro's:

Heat, heat and more heat. Instant heat.

Energy savings (it will pay for itself)

CO2 not an issue in my setup of a basement room

Looks it looks nice as a unit alone and when its running.

Con's:

Blower fan, useless

Dial temp gauge No digital temp setting (it would be a great feature and for setting lower temps too)

Odor goes away over time with use

There ya go I hope this helps you.

The only glitch on this heater is the picture of a digital reading on amazon's site. The heater came in with a sticker where the digital reading should have been. Set up was easy, I had a guy at lowes plumbing dept help me with the parts. Make sure and buy the leak checker fluid and watch for bubbles. I also used a flexible coil they use for gas stoves and dryers. The flexible hose also has a built in union so you don't have to install one. The heater works really well with a cracked window or overhead fan on to keep humidity down. The room heats up fast but does have some cool spots. It's ok for what we are using it for. There is an odor and will go away in time. The odor is not natural gas but the heater itself burning off impurities. The built in thermostat works well shutting on & off the heat on its own. I would suggest getting a cheap digital thermometer to help you regulate the heat.

After a few power outages last winter, we purchased this heater today and installed it. Wow! It adequately heats our living room and kitchen and if the downstairs bathroom door is left open, covers that as well. Better yet, with it running, our furnace has yet to kick on with the thermostat set at 68 (it's 37 outside right now with a wind chill of 30).

The only con I can think of is that the blower really isn't very efficient. We are using a small pole fan behind the unit to distribute the warm air more evenly, although a ceiling fan would do the same if you have one.

Definitely well worth the purchase price. We were debating whether to get this one or a different non-vented natural gas heater with logs and "flames" but decided for $100 less, we could do without the esthetics and stick with pure function.

The 1000W version of this product worked great at first, but over time, this particular product line of Soleus Air Micathermic heaters will lose their ability to heat over time. Advertised at 1000 Watts, now, after 1 year, is 478 Watts, and loses wattage each day it's used. This means it's outputting less and less heat. I'm sure that this 1500 Watt version will produce the same results over time.

I submitted a claim to Soleus Air and they have not resolved the problem they only gave some explanation thinking they were right, but I sent them more details of the problem and they have not responded for over 1 month. Looking up my case number on their site, they consider this case resolved. It is not.

This is product is faulty and you won't get any reimbursements, so be careful, and buy a different brand, or a different heating technology like ceramic.

I will not ever buy a Soleus Air product again I do not want to support their company in producing poor quality products with poor customer support.

Honest reviews on Soleus Air HM2-15R-32 Flat Panel Micathermic Heater with Remote

I bought this heater Dec 2009, off of Newegg, and when I received it, it was not working. I called Soleus customer service and they promptly sent a replacement. That one was damaged in shipping, and Soleus sent another one to me. This one finally worked, and great at that. I then bought two more of the white versions, and I used them all winter long. I live in a 4 room apartment, not very big, and used them to hear my entire apartment for all winter long, and they have been fantastic! I have electric heat anyways, and these worked better for me, and even my electric bill was a little less compared to the previous winter that I did not have them.

I own a couple of these heaters. I like that it has a remote and that it beeps each time you change a setting with the remote; getting that confirmation allows you to be across the room from the heater and adjust the temperature. It is a loud beep, so if you plan on turning it on and off during the night, that may be an issue. Since I just leave it at a low temperature setting during the night, the volume of the beep is irrelevant. It is slim and doesn't take up a lot of space, and I can wheel it around to different rooms if needed. It heats up the room quickly and maintains the temperature, and it is also pretty quiet.

The first one I bought had a faulty wheel base and I had to call the company that makes the heater for a replacement part. It took a little bit of work, but after a few phone calls and emails back and forth, I got the replacement part at no extra cost. I don't think it was a stellar customer service experience, but it wasn't painful either.

When you turn on the heater for the first time it does have a smell, but I simply leave it on in a well ventilated room for a couple of days and the smell seems to burn off. I have not noticed a smell after the first two-three days of running it.

This is absolutely gorgeous, great quality. It arrived quickly and in great condition. The reason I'm giving it a 4 star rating instead of 5 is because it is much smaller that it looked in the picture the photo is a bit misleading. Because of the image, I thought the measures were for each bowl, not the whole piece. The bowls are kind of square and they are deep, good for something like mashed potato or pulled meat. This is stylish and perfect for a very small, intimate party. I'm going to order other (bigger) pieces for my party but I won't return this the beautiful bowls can be used separately for many purposes, including serving dinner dishes for 4.

Review of Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan, 12 Inches, Silver

Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan, 12 Inches, Silver
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

Dyson advertises that this fan moves 5 gallons per second of air. That translates to 40 cubic feet per minute. This is how fans are typically specified. But Dyson won't use those units of measurement, because that would allow you to make the comparison yourself and realize just what a lousy air mover this fan is.

To put this into perspective, a small clip-on 6" fan can move 190 cubic feet per minute. That little fan costs about $20.

Dyson achieves this deception through props typically streamers placed around the edge of the fan in store displays and ads. Sure, the air does move quickly from the edge of the fan, just as fast as it moves from conventional fans. However, this is only a thin ring of air movement in the case of the Dyson fans versus a full circle of air movement from a conventional fan. This helps to explain the difference in air moving performance.

Conventional fans are also quieter. Again, that little 6" clip-on is only 37 decibels. The Dyson is 50 decibels.

The Dyson fan is beautiful and safe. But as a fan, it is loud, has terrible air flow, and is preposterously overpriced other than as a work of art.

Better to buy a fan that works and some artwork that isn't masquerading as a fan.

It lives up to all the cool blade-less design and all, but I was very surprised over that I payed so much money for some cleverly shaped plastic. For whatever reason I expected the base to be in brushed aluminum and maybe even part of the ring. But no, sadly everything is plastic. Using a heavier metal would have also helped with cutting down the noise a bit which also was a good bit more than I had expected. I have regular fans that do not sound as much as this thing. If you like cool design and know before hand that a) it is plastic all the way and b) it makes some noise, I am sure you will be happy.

Dyson Air Multiplier? table fan 10" white

I,m a product and design engineer by trade , and have years of experience , We live on Cape Cod and

do not use air conditioning during the summer, when its hot we use table fans and window fans and have

about 4 types that we use around the house to keep cool on the hot days and nights.

When I saw the Dyson 10" ring fan on a show room floor it seemed to move the air well , and did not seem noisy.

I then purchased the product and when I received it and and took it out of the box it moved the air well but

was very noisy on low speed and has a constant "loud" 500HZ tone that everyone in the house can hear , even in

rooms at the far end of the house on a quite day or night . This 500 hz Noise is not something you get used to and

compared to some of our other bladed fans running on slow , the Dyson Ring fan is very noisy .

Until Dyson fixes this problem , the product will not serve much purpose as we have our's switched

off do to the noise , it's now acting as a $300 dust collector , which it seems to do very well.

I can only say that for the price I expected more from Dyson , I would not recommend this product to anyone, do not buy

this product unless you have a house or building with a lot of background noise like in a city , In fact maybe

Dysons lab is in a noisy building in down town London . I give it a very Bad rating due to the Noise it makes.

Honest reviews on Dyson Air Multiplier Table Fan, 12 Inches, Silver

A Haier ESA412J 12000-BTU Room Air Conditioner Energy Star with Remote which is a full 12,000 BTU air conditioner with a remote control costs less than this dyson air multiplier. So from a cost standpoint, this product is very overpriced.

From a volume of air moved standpoint, this product is also wholey deficient as it moves less air than a regular fan, the reason? this air multiplier uses a very small fan that is noisy to push air through a small ring shaped nozzle.

I'm all for the entrepeneur inventor making money and coming up with innovative products but this is just an example of a Brit with a big marketing team recycling old ideas from the 1960s and using them to dump overpriced products into the American market and taking Americans for fools. I don't give many 1 star reviews but here is one. This product should be illegal, it's akin to selling snake oil as a cure for cancer.

PROS:

it's a good conversation piece

on initial impact, it looks pretty (until you look closely)

CONS:

Price (costs as much as a full true air conditioning unit)

Very underpowered (it really doesn't move much air which is what a fan, ahem air multiplier, should do well)

Space (takes up as much space as a full size fan)

Common Financial Sense (when your friends figure out how much you paid for it and what $300 would buy, they'll think less of you)

Cleaning Difficulty (the outside is easy to clean but dust will get inside the fan and cleaning that appears to be a mess, get a bottle of compressed air)

No remote control (c'mon at this price, I should have a full remote control)

Mostly plastic construction (at this price we should be seeing polished aluminium or stainless steel)

Noisy (you'd think that this would be quieter than a regular fan but it's not)

It says it's less dangerous but most fans come with grilles so unless your regular fan has no grille, it's not an issue

I dont think dyson has ever invented anything as their sales pitches has led people to believe. They are just old ideas hyped up for the consumer. They are in fact marketing geniuses! But to have a fan at this price that is entirely plastic?? No thanks! Its not even powerful. I just have to sit here with my ever so old fan and listen to it chop through the air...CHOP, CHOP......Better yet, get a tower fan, strong, quiet and inexpensive. You can also buy a window AC unit, actually 2 of them with money to spare. E bay has air multiplier fans starting at 120 shipped from China, that just goes to show you how cheap they really are. Shame on you dyson!

My bedroom is always the coldest room in the house. A year ago my dad bought me this heater so I wouldn't have to freeze. I love it. It makes my room nice and toasty in a matter of 10 minutes or so, and then I can turn it off for a couple hours. It shuts itself off when it senses the room at whatever temperature I set it to also, which is nice because I can run at night without it being on the whole time. It has lasted a year so far and is still going strong! The only complaint I have is that it makes the air a bit too dry for me (made worse by allergies) so sometimes I couple it with a humidifier.

Have had the heater for about a month. Works fine i use it to heat my motor home. It is quiet and the thermostat works well. Don't like the lack of an adjustable thermostat heat settings are set at 5 degree intervals and the default temp is 75. Also, it does not remember heat settings after it is turned off. But, none of these things would prevent me from purchasing again. It is also a bit tall and i worry about the dog knocking it over. The timer is a nice feature. All in all a good purchase and i am happy with the heater.

Bought this new at a local retailer because they had a better price $39.99. I've had it about a week and it has been cold this week, down to 9 degrees for two days and 15 degrees to 25 degrees for 4 days. Anyhow bought it to heat our bedroom at 13 x 15 and it is smoking hot. Fan is a little noisy but not really much of a problem. All week we have had to come out from under the covers. So far I have not experienced any problems. will report back to let u know of any changes. would have ordered it from Amazon if they were not so high.

Honest reviews on Lasko #5115 Ceramic Tower Heater

The main reason I purchased this heater was because I got it during the Black Friday sale here and it was at a great price compared to the other heaters. After it arrived, I turned the heater on and left it on high on maximum temperature for about 5 minutes. When I came back to my room, as soon as I walked into the doorway I could feel my room getting toasty which is great as my room is usually cold. But I did notice that if I'm sitting within a few feet or so, the air that's coming out feels like a cooler air, like if you put the heat in your car in the middle of the cold/hot setting. It seemed best to have it further away from where you are so the air isn't actually blowing on you but you can feel the room heating. It is a little noisy but not too loud. It's comparable to the noise of a fan on the low setting. I have a heater in the other room that looks like a radiator and heats the room very well without any noise (I prefer that one over this) but this does work well.

This is January 03,2012. Its down to 22 this morning and the news forecaster said it feels like 11 outside, I still have not turned my heat on (since last year) in my apartment and it is nice and cozy. I am a person that is always cold and never comfortable. But this heater has kept my house at 75 regularly. I'm sure my duke power bill will leave a big smile on my face this year:) These are awesome!!!
