Reading the other reviews of this product I realized I had to write one of my own to help potential purchases realize they will really be missing out if they bypass this heater. This is the fourth space heater I've purchased in the last two months and finally one I can keep.My living room has three sets of glass french doors, high ceilings, and lots of windows. It is very hard to heat it, but there is no central heating system, so I have to rely on space heaters. I tried the expensive Vornado (over $100), which didn't make a dent in the cold, the noisy Honeywell oscillator (which not only gave me a headache it was so loud, but also didn't provide quite enough heat, though it heated better than the Vornado), and the WindChaser radiant heater (which left the room freezing cold but made me sweat at the same time, extremely unpleasant). Finally I found this item.It heats the room to the point where it actually shuts off sometimes, having reached the desired 65...

I bought one of these at Wal-Mart for $28 (their normal price is ~$42). Since it is a 1500 watt ceramic heater, it heats as well as any other ceramic heater that draws that much current, so nothing to comment about on that point. What that means is it will heat up your room, but it will take a while if it is not a small room. To be expected. Since it is not a radiant (quartz) heater, unless you stand very close, you will not feel a lot of warmth until the ambient T goes up and that will happen from the ceiling area on down.It operates quite quietly (fan and rotation)and is not annoying. The rotation is smooth. The remote is a very nice touch and handier than I thought it would be. The LED display is bright, but located on top, so you can't see it from the front of the unit if you are seated. A design flaw, I think. The three warranty is nice. Cobstruction is pretty much all plastic, so I wonder how well the heat grates will stand up over time when the plasticizers...

This is a rewrite of an old review. I initially gave it four stars and went on a bit over that I felt the cord should be heavier and would likely be the thing that ends up putting this thing out on the sidewalk. Well, I've owned and used this heater for five years now and can absolutely confirm no problems.Further, we rent the entire floor of a townhouse in Queens, New York City and this heater has been great particularly for changes of season when the landlord typically doesn't turn on the heat. It makes a big difference in our comfort when our home would normally be cold and uncomfortable without it.It heats a rather large space very well and you don't have to be sitting right in front of it get toasty warm as the fan is strong enough to blow hot air quite a distance. It is also not too noisy--no motor noise from the fan or buzzing from the heat element, just the sound of air moving.It can oscillate, but we never bother using that feature...

Fans can't beat Moyer's 78-mph heater

May 22, 2012 | During the Miracle's game last Thursday, they put on a promotion where fans could win a free ticket to an upcoming game if they could throw harder than Moyer. Colorado Rockies pitcher Jamie Moyer made headlines last week when, at 49 years old, he became the oldest pitcher to win a major league game. "I think some people look at the majors and they see guys throwing 90 and above, and they think 78 is super slow. "I'm a big fan of Jamie Moyer. It's an incredible feat, but people were sitting around going, 'Gosh, he's only throwing 78 mph,' " said Gary Sharp, the Miracle's director of media relations and promotions. Also of note in his start against the San Diego Padres was that Moyer's fastball topped out at 78 mph. The Fort Myers Miracle, the Class-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, took note of both those facts and decided to have a little fun at Moyer's expense. But not a lot of people can throw 78 if they're not baseball players. Read more »

Questions & Answers

can a 2kw fan heater be enough to heat up a standard size room?

Oct 22, 2007 by lakz k

we want to buy a cheap portable heater to heat up our garage since we had it renovated and are trying to get the heaters fixed so are looking for a portable heater for the time being. so can anyone tell or reccomend me a portable fan heater that is enough to heat up a room. thanks in advance!

Be careful with what you buy. Your garage by its nature would have gasoline cans, etc. in it. You have fumes from the lawnmower, automobile all hanging low to the floor. A spark from an electric heater could cause an explosion. There really is no advantage to heating a garage unless you are using it as a workshop also. Cars rust more in the winter time in a warm garage.

How can I disinfect an electric fan heater?

Sep 12, 2006 by Tahini Raving Weirdo

I have a bunch of electric fan heaters standing around, the 2000W-type. I noticed the other day that they collect a lot of vile-looking dustbunnies on their air intakes, and I'd hate to think what they spew out all day long (must be the place to be if you're a germ!).

Now I'm hoping to kill all the germs by spraying medical alcohol disinfectant into the air intakes, but how long do I need to wait before it's all evaporated? These things would become flame throwers if it isn't all dried off.

Or does anyone have a better idea (please don't say "buy another type of heater", because I can't).

Thanks.

How hot is the air coming out of the outlets? Are they used outside or in a rather well ventilated area as opposed to inside a closed area? You might not need to worry about doing anything more than scraping or brushing the dust-bunnies off. In a hot, dry environment not many germs thrive. The alcohol shouldn't hurt anything though. I'm just not certain that you need it.
