This Space Heaters give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Does its job well
I needed to heat the finished portion of my basement. There is some residual heat from the furnace located behind closed doors in the unfinished portion of the basement, but not nearly enough. I live in Massachusetts and the temperatures outdoors lately have ranged from overnight lows of 14 degrees to midday highs of 35 degrees or so. The finished portion of the basement consists of two rooms with a large opening between them (no door). The space is about 550 sq. ft. total. After initially trying a Lasko 758000 cyclonic ceramic heater, I found that model could only get the space to about 65 degrees after letting it run for 24 hours. This low-profile model, however, warmed the space from 65 to 70 degrees within 30 minutes of turning it on. It has now been close to two hours, and the room temp. is holding steady at 69 degrees. Unlike the cyclonic ceramic, this heater runs absolutely silently. I recommend this model to anyone with similar needs.
2. Works well to heat up my bedroom
I've had this heater for almost 2 years. It is great as a bedroom heater and very quiet. My only issue with it is that if you turn it on and don't set the temperature it defaults to turning the heating element on constantly until you make an adjustment or turn it off. I feel like this is a dangerous default operation and that it should default to having the thermostat set at the last temperature that you used (e.g. turn it on and it's already set for 68 degrees instead of in FULL ON mode). I have turned it on and forgotten to set the temperature a few times and woke up in the middle of the night to my room at 90 degrees. Yikes.
Need more appointment... ?
Purchased two of these. Both broke within three weeks and almost roasted my kids.
If ever a product deserved a one star review it is this one.
I purchased two of these at the same time to use in my kids rooms to keep them a little warmer at night during the winter months.
The first one worked for two weeks then inexplicably began turning itself off after 5 minutes. I tried resetting it per the manufacturers instructions but it continued to run for no longer than 5 minutes before it would go into protect mode and shut itself off.
The second one worked for three weeks before it had a fault that caused it to bypass the set temperature and run continuously all night! I went into my toddlers room to wake her up in the morning and found it was near 100 degrees in her room! I tested the unit out downstairs and sure enough even with the set temperature at 80 degrees it would just keep on running.
I contacted Amazon and they were awesome as always and refunded my money for these two units.
