Perfectly good for a $20 simple device, I like it
Size: 5.9 x 3.2 x 6 inches
This heater is perfect for what it is: Pros: - it looks good on my desk in white - it is quiet (but not silent) - puts out enough heat to warm my shed-office in the mornings - it put out heat within a few seconds - the metal surround does not get at all hot - all the heat goes forward - so you can pick it up to move it with no risk of harm - has a simple pressure switch on the bottom to avoid against it running while tipped over - I have it on a power monitoring smart switch which confirms it draws 500W as advertised Cons: - it is only 500W, about like a hair dryer on medium, if you have a large space to heat, have a cold room you want it warm very quickly this isn't for you. I sit it on my desk about two feet from me and run it for an hour before starting work to heat my 6x8 garden shed/office to about 70F. That's maybe $0.05 of electricity where I live. WFM. - its either on or off but given the medium output there's really no need for lower output settings - no thermostat so if you're running it in a tent as suggested in the description you may need to turn it on and off to avoid over heating, for about $20 you can get a adapter with a temperature probe to turn it on and off but then you might want to buy a different unit with it built in. I looked at the 1-star reviews and frankly other than the complaints about it failing (can't comment on reliability, I've had mine a week) they are ridiculous. - yes the front grill gets hot - unless you want something very different and larger there's no avoiding that, it's a heater! - plenty of appliances have two prong plugs and metal cases - if the case is electrically isolated there is no risk if used in accordance with instructions. It's ETL listed. This is not a wet location device nor should it be used in one or with wet hands, read the instructions. Do you use your hairdryer in the bath people? Don't! - the tilt switch is simple and I don't see any risk of it failing, so long as the heater is on a firm surface it is perfectly functional - read the description, this is 500W. It does not draw 15 or 20A to blast you with heat, if you have a large cold room to heat buy an appropriate device with more than 500W output - no it doesn't have a battery, if you want it in a tent you'll need to BYOB but it would need to be a big one - a 3kWh battery will run it continuously for about 6 hours (that should indicate the folly of thinking it would include a battery, it would be massive or last just minutes!) ... show more

(video) temperature measurement tests + noise level
Size: 5.9 x 3.2 x 6 inches
So far I'm really liking this space heater. It's small enough to put on a desk and get a nice warm stream of air on a chilly day, whereas a larger unit would not fit. It's also just powerful enough that if left on in a room for an extended period it will take the edge off the chill, but even without a thermostat you won't have to worry too much about overheating. The noise level is significant, just as the noise level for most fans is significant. But it's a white noise sort of sound with a very faint hum, so it sounds pleasant enough to my ears that I don't mind. I can smell the heater but it's not overpowering. I love the automatic shutoff mechanism and the on-off switch in the back is welcome given that I don't want to unplug it all the time. (measurements in degrees Fahrenheit) I put the heater in my room (which is about 100 feet sqr, 9"x9") and left it running overnight, and I slept much better than normal because the temperature was much more pleasant - while the rest of the house was about 65 degrees, my room is now 74 degrees after reaching thermal equilibrium. In the immediate vicinity of the heater temperatures reach a 80 - 90 degrees. The plastic side of the heater was 83 degrees, below body temp so slightly cool to the touch, and the metal grill was 130 degrees, hot but if you accidentally touch it for a brief you won't get burned badly. I found it to be a very functional space heater with some nice safety measures and a great form factor. ... show more

Good, safe little heater for small spaces
Size: 5.9 x 3.2 x 6 inches
I bought this to take the winter chill off a small bathroom area when showering. The room is about 60 square feet. This heater is about perfect for a small space like that. It never gets really hot and for that reason it seems very safe, I don’t see it being much of a fire or burn hazard since it doesn’t run red hot (it also has a safety button on the bottom so that if it does tip over it shuts off). But it’s probably best suited for very small areas given its lower heat level. Another benefit is I assume it’s pretty inexpensive to operate since it doesn’t run terribly hot. And its small size makes it easy to store. Overall it was just right for my small bathroom. ... show more

9/10
Size: 5.9 x 3.2 x 6 inches
I use it to heat a small area within an ice hockey referees room and it does great. There is hardly any noise. I do wish you had more control over the heating level but other than that it’s super good. The tip over protection is also a huge plus for what I use it for.

Perfect warmth for those freezing offices
Size: 5.9 x 3.2 x 6 inches
I’m giving 5 stars on product however the delivery I paid $4 for to receive quickly was 0 ZERO STARS!! absolute garbage and I’ll suffer out my day before I ever pay extra for same day delivery again. I hope you have the day you deserve driver, hit every red light from the beginning. Ok now for the real review… I cannot stress how much I Love this little heater. I actually have 2, one for each of the offices I work between. They are small n the heat is perfect it’s not super hot where if you’re too close it feels like your skin burns. It feels like blow dryer air. It’s quiet, light weight noise and I can pick it up right after turning it off so it’s safe as far as burns are concerned. I highly recommend. Also if your company is like mine keeping the a/c at 12 degrees and your nose is non stop running while you are covered by a blanket sweater because you’re in an ice cold office where the do NOT allow the use of space heaters, this little guy looks like a speaker and nobody is the wiser. ... show more

Great heater for price!
Size: 5.9 x 3.2 x 6 inches
Works perfectly. Perfect size to sit right on my desk and not take up too much space. Super easy to use you just plug it in and flip the switch on the back. Heats up quick and is relatively quiet.
