I purchased this around November 2012 and it died today while burning it's plug and my wall socket. I will have to replace the wall plugs and return the heater. It was a noisy heater, yes but it did get warm. It was NOT on when it somehow started to burn on half the plug. Thank goodness I smelled burning plastic and unplugged it before any actual fire. I will not buy this brand again if I can help it.Best Deals on Pelonis Personal Mini Fan Forced Heater 3 Heat Settings-adjustable
I have not had the problems that Moniker reports in another review. In an effort to keep down heating costs, I've decided to try space heaters this year, and so far, the Pelonis heater has worked perfectly. I've kept it on almost all the time. This does not mean that it's been pouring out heat the entire time. For much of the time, it's been idle, waiting for the temperature to dip low enough to cause the heater to come on. And it's worked perfectly.I use this heater in a relatively small room--about 120 square feet--with small animals that I don't want exposed to too much cold at night. So far, all is great. I have two minor quibbles, but they are truly minor, at least when compared to the cost (under $20 when I bought it). The first quibble is that the thermostat is not very accurate, and there is no degree setting, meaning that I cannot set the thermostat for 74 degrees or anything like it. I have to set the thermostat by feel. The second quibble is that the fan itself is not all that strong. I've tried to use just the fan in order to test it, and let's put it this way: I don't think I'll be using this heater in the summer to try to keep cool. Still, as a heater for a small room, it's worked perfectly.
One additional note: As I write this, there is one other review, which reports that the fan shuts off if there is too much moisture in the air. I live in a dry climate, so I cannot say one way or the other whether excessive moisture presents a real problem.
