Cute, but not sturdy

I use this specific heater at work. I enjoy the size. Love the new colors. Like the safety feature. However this has been my third heater in the last 3 years because the heather just isn't durable. I don't move it or knock it over. It literally sits under my desk and I turn it off and on. The first two the on/off button stopped working. This one makes a loud noise when turned on and sometimes doesn't stop. The company has great customer service this is why I keep purchasing the heater after it breaks but at this point it's becoming a waste of my money so I will have to venture to a more expensive option or a different brand. It's unfortunate, because I really like the heater.
The personal heater is perfect for an office environment. It is quiet, compact and really puts out the heat. No one knows that it's there - except me. It has made a huge difference in my office which is the "ice-box" in the suite. I highly recommend the personal heater for anyone with a small work space to heat. Excellent product!
Pros: Adjustable, Compact, Durable, Good Power Output, Lightweight, Quiet, Stable Base
I have gone through two of these heaters. I use it at work every now and again under my desk to keep me warm in my office. The first heater the blades started warping from the heat and one blade fell off. I purchased another heater (thinking the first was a fluke) and the blades are warped again and I can't use it without it making an awful sound. It doesn't even work all of the time either because the blades get caught on the front grate from them being warped. Not a good product. I would never buy another one. It's just junk product.
Cons: Loud
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

IT IS 34 DEGREES WITH A WIND CHILL OF 28. I PUT IT IN MY UNUSED BACK BEEDROOM, THE COLDEST ROOM IN MY APARTMENT. THE ROOM SIZE IS 12 X 8 WITH 7' CEILING . AT THE TIME IT WAS 62 DEGREES IN BEEDROOM AND IN 45 MINUTES IT BROUGHT IT UP TO 65, JUST THE TEMP I WANT TO KEEP THAT ROOM AT. AND I HAD IT SET ON LOW (325 WATTS). AND IT IS THE ONLY HEAT SOURCE IN THE ROOM. GREAT LITTLE HEATER AND ONLY USING 325 WATTS.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Good Power Output, Heats the Whole Room, Quiet, Safe
I have a relative in a hospital bed in our drafty living room. The room is small enough (over 100 square feet, but close enough that this did the trick) that I decided to try this heater and it worked like a charm. It was a cold night and I turned down the thermostat below 70 and came back an hour later and the room temp was 73 and eventually got up to 76. I turned it off and moved it to my small bedroom and didn't leave it on as long, because I didn't want to be too hot. I got a second one for a relative who has health problems and is always cold and I am thinking of getting the next size up, because I think I could heat the whole house at one time and never use my heating oil or other space heaters again.
Pros: Doesn't tip, Heats Small Rooms, Quiet, Raised The Room Temp, Safe, Save On Oil Heat, Used W Hospital Bed Table
Initial opening of the box, it had a strong electrical smell. Operating the fan was very easy. 2 rocker switches. The fan switch on the left was a little confusing without reading the instructions. Low Fan and High. The heat was delivered very quickly. 2.32 seconds to be exact. Not a heater to be used under the desk to warm the toes. It's more for tabletop use. The emergency off switch underneath the fan is a good addition however wonder if that was really needed since the heater doesn't get that hot.
I love the fact that it is small and works great. I personally have a hard time with the heat blowing in my face, but it works great in my office to heat the space for the three of us in our area. We will be using this all winter.
