Keep a medium-size room at a comfortable temperature with this Bionaire BCH9212R-U mini tower heater that features an elongated heating element that efficiently produces 5,120 BTUs. LCD controls and a remote ensure simple operation.
We only use space heaters to heat our home (1200 sqft southern bungalow) since gas is so expensive. We purchased an expensive infrared heater for the kitchen, hall, and living room and this heater for the bedrooms. When placed between the two bedrooms and the office (the doors are near eachother) using the oscillating function and it will keep them right around 55 degrees when it is well below freezing outside, which is fairly impressive for a tiny heater. I'm guessing that if i had two more i could heat my entire house just as well as a furnace with these (see house size above). If you are using this as a supplementary heater it should exceed your expectations.
I enjoy the thermostat feature. It will turn off when the area reaches the desired temperature. If you want it to run constantly just turn it all the way up (85 degrees is the max).
The fan feature works. It doesn't blow cold air but it circulates the room well.
My children have knocked it over several times and it has shut off without fail. It also hasn't broken because of falling and the oscillating feature continues to work. They have also pushed the buttons when they weren't supposed to quite a few times and nothing crazy has happened.
If they are still carried next year i'm definitely buying more.

What's great about it: pumps out a lot of heat. safe.
What's not so great: you cant put it on the same fuse as another space heater (could just be my house).
