No more worrying about overheating or starting a fire, a ceramic thermal cut-off mechanism shuts the heater down if it's accidentally tipped over or covered with curtains, blankets etc. A dual heat-flow setting makes it easy to regulate. Choose the "hi" setting for 1500 watts or the "lo" setting for 750 watts. And, an adjustable thermostat helps fine-tune temperatures and conserve energy. When winter is over, the fan operates without heat for summer cooling. A built-in handle and wide solid base ensures optimal stability and convenient portability. And, this quiet operator is perfect for any room in the house. An anti-freeze setting automatically turns on the heater when the temperature reaches 44 degrees Fahrenheit. --Brian Olson

 Works extremely well. October 6, 2003

I live in a small room and when i turn up the heater, it gets pretty warm quickly. Very safe and i like the fact that it works on the floor or on the table. Not very noisy and the thermostat is working just fine for temperature control.
Easily worth the very small investment! January 13, 2005

I purchased this through Amazon, and I am extremely happy. It is smaller than I expected, quieter than I expected, and does a better job than I expected. Very happy, and would recommend.
Why spend $40 or more when you can spend $15 January 19, 2005

This heater is just great. Although difficult to see the number settings on the thermostat dial, the heater is surprisingly powerful for something so small. We are doing work on our house and do not have good insulation right now. The furnace could only keep the house to 55 degrees, but the rooms with these had no problem at 70 or so. And they did not run continuously either. Some heaters with cheaper thermostats contstantly cycle on and off, but this one will stay off for a while and then stay on for a while, just like your whole house thermostat. The only negative is that there is no shut off switch if it falls over and I do not trust it to shut down on its own otherwise.
If you don't expect it to heat the whole house, you'll love it. November 15, 2005

One room at a time and this is the space heater for you. I purchased two of these little fans after fighting with Vornado Heaters through two winters. While I loved the Vornado I would never purchase one again (2 of these cost a third of the price!). I don't have drafts anymore so I don't know how well it works if you have a drafty living area.
The ups: Easy to use dials. Puts out plenty of heat to take care of average sized rooms (I use one in a 15' X 10' and on in a 40' hallway). Works well with it's own climate control settings (holds the temp where you set it), but since it's not digital you have to set it the old fashion way (letting it get as hot as you want it in the room and then slowly turning it down until it clicks off). It also has plenty of length in the cord. It's quiet and it's small.
The downs: Must be unplugged to be turned off. This is very annoying to me because I don't trust them enough to leave them on when I leave the house so it feels like I am always unplugging them.
It'll be interesting to see how well they work when the temps hit the 0 mark.
Good little heater - does the job! October 22, 2005

I found this heater because a co-worker had one in her cubicle since our office was always hit or miss with the heat and she was always cold. She kept it under her desk (by her feet) and you could defintely tell a difference when you walked into her cubicle.
We have an older house that was built in 1917 and the insulation really needs to be replaced - not to mention the windows. So the Wisconsin winters tend to chill our bones at times and I bought two for home - one for the living room, one for the bedroom. The living room is quite large and we could probably use another one in there because you need to be pretty close to the heater to feel the warmth. But overall, you can defintely tell a temperature difference when you walk out of the room and come back in. So even though it's not hot hot, it's still much warmer. As for the bedroom, it's smaller than the living room. Because my husband gets up for work at 4am, he's in bed by 8:30 and he'll turn it on when he goes to bed. By the time I get up there at 10:30-11:00, the room is absolutely sweltering! It definitely helps!
With heating costs going up so drastically this year, it makes so much more sense to heat the rooms you're in - not crank the thermostat to waste energy for the rooms you're not even in. We have gas heat and it's sooooo much cheaper to run the electric heaters when we need them. The DeLonghi does heat it up pretty quickly too.
I LOVE the safety features because we do have pets that could knock it over. I also love that it's not hot to the touch - we used to have an oil heater and man, you could burn your hand pretty severely. I hated to run it when we had company, or if the pets were out. But the DeLonghi really gives me peace of mind and I'm currently looking for two more - one for the office and another one for the living room!
The only issue I have are the dials - they're not easily readable. But a thin Sharpie marker to fill in the indentations (in the plastic) for the settings solves that very nicely.
