This is a nice little heater. Has the same size
ceramic core as bigger units, but costs less because
theres no remote, or fancy lcd display. But it puts
out just as much heat as its big brothers.
The exterior is pretty cheap, so I can't give it
anymore stars. I believe this heater qualify's for CA prop 65
warning. But didn't see it! Made in China....

Overview: This is a great small size heater. It has two main setting "low" and "high". The low setting is nearly silent, so you can easily do certain task such as talking or listening to music without some background interference. It has 6 temperatures settings (in Fahrenheit): 65˚, 70˚, 75˚, 80˚, 85˚, and "Max". During the winter time, my room is about 55˚ Fahrenheit, using the max setting it gets my 10x12 feet room heated to 80˚ in 15~20 minutes. It has an oscillating feature that rotates about a 60˚ angle.Pros: Quiet and many settings to keep your room at a comfortable temperature.
Cons: NO SAFETY FEATURE! I think this is the reason I took off a star. There is no safety function for this heater. If you accidentally knock it over, it'll stay on. I've used other heaters and they have a safety button on the bottom of the heater, if the heater is move even the slightest, it'll turn off as a safety precaution. Now why does this matter? If you have pets this can be dangerous; if your pet knocks the heater over and you're not around to see it, the heater will stay on and potentially danger items nearby or even catch things on fire due to the heat it is emitting. This can be a dangerous concern if you plan on leaving this heater on overnight!
Other concerns: There was a certain smell to the heater when I first used it. But after a few hours of use, there was no longer a smell. It consume 1500watts, it is on power hungry machine. I set the machine on "high" and on Max. When it gets to the temperature I'm comfortable with, I turn it on "low", so it shouldn't consume that much electricity.
