We've had the first one for a month, and have just ordered a second. So far, it has worked exceptionally well. Bought the first one after using an electric oil-filled radiator-type heater for a few years. They seem generally to work well, and they feel safer to me than standard space heaters that get red hot and seem poised to set fire to anything close. Our cats like to lounge close to these things, so safety is always an important consideration. We live in NYC and have steam radiator heat that seems to switch on and off randomly, so sometimes it gets seriously chilly in our apartment. One of these little HG-450 units does the trick for the bedroom, keeping things nice and warm. I've just ordered a second unit for the second bedroom, which I use as an office. Hopefully they won't explode right after I've submitted a glowing review... If not, though, these things are excellent.

When I saw this heater I wondered why it costs this much when there are other oil-filled heaters that cost $30-40 less. I zoomed in on the product shot and noticed there are more vents on the main fin where the control panel is. If more vents means more heat, then it'll be worth it. So I took a gamble and ordered one.The heater would be used in the living room which is an open area with a 9" high ceiling. The heating system in the house is forced air with vents in the ceiling, and since warm air rises, warming the room below to a decent temperature is practically impossible and financially prohibitive, as I use electric heat. To add insult to injury, forced air heating blows out air that creates a cold wind when it comes on, so it's not only a huge waste of money, it's also very crude and just ridiculous.
A month ago I decided to heat the room solely with space heaters. I have an electric fireplace with a heater on the lowest setting, a baseboard heater I bought a week before (Fahrenheat Baseboard Heater #FBE15002), and an old oil-filled heater. It didn't get warm and barely raised the temperature and I was quite disappointed -until I got this heater. What a world of difference! The place becomes so toasty and temps keep rising, I even have to lower it! With this 3-heater combination, residual heat flows into the rest of the downstairs area, which includes kitchen, dining room, foyer, even the powder room.
There is one downside to this heater. The timer is not really programmable and limited to only 2, 4 and 8 hours, and when set on timer, it comes on at the highest setting. But the amount of heat it gives out well makes up for this slight inconvenience.
I highly recommend this heater and I'm getting another one for my bedroom, which is a big room and my older oil-filled heaters can't handle it.

No matter what I did, it always had a very bad smell that got me a headache, I'm going to return this item right away.Honest reviews on NewAirAH-450 Electric Oil Filled Radiator Space Heater - Heats 225
It seems like it was dropped at the factory or something because the plastic on the front arrived slightly damaged.It heats the room so I'm happy.
I also ordered "DeLonghi Oil-Filled Radiator with Overheat Audible Alarm". I like the "NewAir" heater a little better because it has a timer (just 2, 4 and 8-hour settings)
