What can I say? I was looking for an inexpensive heater to keep me from being too cold while working at home. This one was on sale for $10. It works well. I’ve only used it on the low setting. It does not have any temperature regulation, it’s either on low or high or fan, so don’t expect to set a temperature like 65 degrees and then walk away and have it regulate the temperature in the room. One disappointment to me is that the fan does not slow down for the lower setting, but that’s a minor issue. Overall, well worth the money in my opinion.

I should note that there’s a place to wrap the cord on the bottom of the unit but it is not easy to wrap the cord because it is inside the base, so that part could be redesigned. But, as I said, it’s a good heater for the money.

I received my HFH105 today, needless to say I was very disappointed in the size, it’s very small. But that is my error, I didn’t take note of the dimension before ordering. However, this little bundle gives out powerful heat. It really warms a room in less than 5 minutes. As mention in the other reviews it is LOUD…

I think the price should be $5.00-$7.00 for this little heater. That’s the only complaint I have is the price. Other than that it’s excellent little heater.

I bought this heater in 1994. It has kept me warm on the coast and in the Sierra’s. It has been dropped countless times and keeps on working. It heats up smaller rooms fast and will heat up a larger room but takes awhile. It is finally on it’s last leg because it fell (again) and now will only blow warm air. I believe I paid 12 dollars for this in ’94. I am thinking I’ll replace it with the same kind.

I use the heater in the office. It’s an excellent size for under the desk and puts out much heat. However, its noisey.

I bought this last year at Easter so my wife could stay warm during the snowstorm. I used it the rest of the spring, then this fall I stuck it in the bathroom so I could stay warm without turning up the furnace.

At first, it would run if I left it in the high, or low setting, but no temperature range. Now, it won’t even turn on. I bought it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, so I paid more than Amazon’s price, but I wouldn’t buy this model again.
