I had a little heater fan from DeLonghi (DFH132), and it was fine but a little weak. I tried out a few heater fans from Honeywell (HFH5555 [worked, but blew a fuse] and HEH8001-U [worked but more fan than heater]) but ended up returning them.This little heater puts out a good bit of heat. It's sitting behind me right now, in the same spot the heater fan used to occupy, and it puts out much more heat. It's also about twice as loud, but that doesn't bother me. The grille on the front gets hot, but I haven't left my hand on it long enough to see if it will burn me. I can make only so many sacrifices for Amazon reviews...Quite happy with this item.

We are an HVAC contractor in Northern Virginia. We stock up on these every year to loan to customers without heat because they are safe and reliable. We have been very satisifed with the performance.

I gave this heater 4 stars. Let me explain....First, to be realistic about my pros and cons, I know I wasn't getting a top of the line model being that this heater was under thirty bucks. I only needed this to provide a little warmth boost in my 1-year old sons 14' x 12' room.Pros:-Pushes a lot of heat for being so small - This was surprising. I have to keep the temp turned only about 1/3 of the way up with the lowest fan setting or else my son's room turns into a sauna.-Very nice size - it's not tiny, but it fits nicely on my son's chest of drawers along with an alarm clock and piggy bank.-1 fan, 2 heat options - there is a fan option(no heat), a low and high heat setting. I use the low and imagine that the high setting would push qhite a bit of heat.-Thermostat - very nice option for what I use it for, once you get it right (see cons). I keep it up about 1/3 of the way and it keeps the room at a semi-constant temp.-Stays cool to...

hey does anyone know of a really really good portable electric heater?

Nov 29, 2007 by suetrouble66

Im looking for a portable heater that works great and heats fast. I have the edenpure500 but i think it really doesnt do the job that quick. so anyone that has a heater and knows from experience that it works great please let me know. i really prefer something electric but if you know different let me know. thanks so much

Had to do some repairs in an uninsulated cottage that had already been shut down for the winter.
Had a small ceramic heater & borrowed a larger Sharper Image tower type in case I had to spend the night.
Between the two, got the place from around 40 deg in AM to 67deg by afternoon.
Sometimes use the small one, which oscillates, in a back room at home when it gets really cold & windy.
Best regards

What are some safety tips for a Portable Electric Heater?

Sep 21, 2008 by xayanexchanx

I am at college,and my room has no heating vent. So I bought a small little osculating portable heater. My dad kept saying they were dangerous. So what are some safety tips I should take with this? Also, what kind of surface would it be safe to set this thing on?

I hope the brand you bought is a ceramic heater with the oscillating , digital temp & timing features (they have them in Lowe's for about $35.00...they are superb and shut down instantly when knocked over - and instantly cool down. You can set it to come on at a particular temp and shut off when it reaches another.
Your dad is right about the danger portion - all appliances have a danger quotent.....plus he knows his adult child and people in general - heed his advice and all will go well.
