AT FIRST I WAS SKEPTICAL - THEN...

At first I was skeptical after reading SOME of the reviews, but with mixed reviews - I had mixed feelings and bought it to find out for myself. Kinda like a bad review on a movie - some like, some don't, but with a movie you can't get your money back. There's the difference. Anyway, at first I really didn't think it made much of a difference in my very tiny bathroom - HOWEVER, I kept using it and oddly, after awhile it seems to put our more heat each time. So about 10-15 minutes before I shower I simply turn it on and close the door. When I'm ready I have a warm bathroom. Ta-Da! Update: 5/3/19 - The more I use it, the better it works. Weird, I know.

Great Heater for Small Spaces

First off, this is the second Amazon Basics heater that I have purchased in 2 weeks and it is because I LOVE them! I keep one (pink) in my bathroom and the other one (white) in my home office. Before I get ready to shower, I turn the heater on and close the door and it heats up so good! I recommend this heater to anyone who likes to have a warm and toasty bathroom and warm office or small space. Actually, I am going to buy another one for when I go into the office at work!

Great bargain!

So happy with my little space heater! I tried a couple of other ones before, and this was the keeper. It runs quietly enough, doesn't have any distracting noises, and didn't emit any funky or chemical-laden smells (unlike a lot of other space heaters at the same price point). It produces enough heat to keep me working in my office without having to wear gloves/hat/heavy sweater, but doesn't go out of control. Also it does have the added safety feature that if it flips over, it will stop functioning. The cord doesn't get hot (another good sign) and the unit doesn't get overly warm. Regardless, I'm still paranoid of house fires and I keep the unit on a little stone coaster that I have, and I unplug it for the evening when I'm finished. This definitely isn't meant to heat an entire room - when the heat went out in my apartment for a day, I ran it in my living room, and while it definitely took the bite out of the cold air, if you walked away from it, you were cold. It's perfect for office/personal use, but not much more than that - but for the price, it's a great deal!

It's cute and little.

The price: is okay. There isnt a heat control dial so just one set temperature. The size: is perfect for why I bought it. I wanted something to keep my feet warm and this is just the right size. And can be easily stored since it is so small. It is as pleasing to the eye as any small heater. Although it is my new friend, I am slightly disappointed for reasons I've stated. It does get hot if you are too close to it so I'm battling it by having to turn it off and on every fee minutes because there are no heat controls. I do like the safety feature on the bottom. So this if it gets tipped over it picked up, it immediately turns off. However since it is a heater the front metal mesh part is hot so be careful when picking up or moving. Basically it's a good heater but for the price you could spend just a few dollars more on a different heater that has heat control settings. If you are using this for an entire room or big space, I'm not sure how warm the entire space will be but I can tell you I dont see this thing having a problem with warming up a small bedroom or bathroom.

Just what I needed!

Evem though I'm in a tropical region, the winters can get windy and cool, but the office buildings like to keep thr air conditioning on high! It got so bad that I needed to buy a space heater. I didn't need a heavy duty one, and I didn't want one that would waste too much energy. Thank goodness Amazon makes one, and in a nice blue color, too. It works great (no issues so far). Has a good saftey mechanism that won't let the heater run unless it's on a flat/stable surface (there's a pressure button om the bottom), and the cord is long enough for the range of heat.

Perfect for a little space

I bought this to use under my desk to keep my feet warm. It's perfect and as you can see its little (about the size of a medium coffee), so its not in the way of me hitting it with my feet. Theres a safety button on the bottom so the heater stops working when its tipped over, picked up, or not on a level surface. I like that feature alot, definitely recommend purchasing if you need a little heater at a decent price!

Perfect~

It gets pretty cold in my office. I put this on the floor and its super cozy and warm but doesn't make me hot. It's not loud and lets off the perfect amount of heat. There's a safety feature that'll shut it off if tipped over. The only thing I would suggest is that the power button be on top and not in the back-just more convenient that way. I'm not sure if the front gets hot to the touch. I didn't test it.

Great heater for a freezing office

I work in a cubicle farm and my office building is always too cold for me. Sweaters don't quite keep it warm enough, so I wanted a little space heater. I am very conscious of the wattage these space heaters put out and I didn't want to be tripping breakers so I looked for a low wattage one. I also wanted something that had tip over protection since it will be by my feet. This little 500w heater checked all the boxes so I bought it and brought it into work. It fits discreetly under my cubicle, is very quiet (sounds like a computer fan on high), and outputs just enough heat to keep me warm. I couldn't ask for more. Now there are no heat settings, there's just an on/off switch, so look elsewhere if you want more control. The heat also pretty concentrated to directly in front of the unit, so there is not much heat output if you're not in its direct path and pretty close to it. I can't comment on the durability quite yet, but it functions just as I wanted. If you're looking for a no-fuss, low wattage heater, this seems like a great choice.

Great 500W Heater

I use this heater in an unlikely place to heat and dry some region that has previously seen water in-gress; just as a remedy while I do repairs; it has a solid tip-over kill-switch that I really appreciate and it is the equivalent of a pair of 250W bulbs - so it is just enough heat for an enclosed area; and, it is not very hot past about twelve inches, so it is safe that way too; be sure to give it the margin (room) that the instructions call for, of course.

Small but powerfully hot

I needed something that didn't take a lot of space but provided lots of heat, all without setting off my circuit breaker. This little unit is 500w of hot heat, so its great for a small/mid sized room. No temp control, just on and off, so be aware of that. The screen does get quite hot after about an hour so be careful. Also due to the shape, it "can" be a bit tipsy if not on a solid surface. But it does heat up a room without setting off the circuit breaker, which is what I needed.
