It does have going for it helpful digital controls and t-stat, and a strong, consistent flow of sufficiently warm air. Sadly, the pros here are utterly negated by the cons, which are at best annoying, at worst, toxic and hazardous: 1. Every time it is run, the heated air being generated has a noxious smell, reminiscent of over-heated plastic (and no, this isn't just the 'out-of-the-box' burning off phase) - plastics are one of our stealthiest carcinogens, and when heated.. well, let's just say "not ideal." 2. The cord gets so hot it scared even my fearless spouse, who rock-climbs and eats full-fat cheese. The cord only overheats when the unit is on high - but what good is having the thing if we can only run it on low? I fail to grasp what is so difficult about producing a decent space heater, and wish Lasko and other manufacturers would wake up and smell the consumer dissatisfaction. Perhaps they can't smell it over the odor of burning plastic... Rating: 2 / 5 This is an attractive heater and, in theory, could be a good one.

It has easy controls and I can move the direction of the air flow. Most important: I am so warm! Even my dogs are cuddled up by the heater. I had just returned some other heaters because they just didn't help. I am so relieved that this unit is so terrific. I love it when a plan comes together.

It's not going to warm a room, but if you want something to keep you warm while you're sitting at the computer, reading, watching tv, etc., this will definitely do the job. <br /> <br />Our only complaint was the incredibly short cord.

It was ok. It kept the room kinda warm even on cold nights. Problem is,it doesn't keep your feet warm. Had to get another small heater that would heat my feet and I'm not usually one to get cold easily. Rating: 3 / 5 Last year,we had one of these in a small (10X10) out building. It was ok.

I was so happy with the speed of processing my ordering and delivering it to me. I wish I could order ALL my products from this merchant! Thank you!!!!
