“This unit does exactly what you'd want,” raves one reviewer. “It heats up instantly and then the fan spreads the heat such that you feel heat almost instantly even 12-15 feet away. It is very, very quiet, the safety control works great, and it's very easy to use.”
Another 5-star reviewer had success using it in a trailer on a camping trip. “Where we were camping, at first it was with a sunny blue sky. Overnight it got cold and snowed. We packed accordingly but it was still a bit chilly. Luckily this little heater was with us. We plugged it in and within about 30 minutes, our whole trailer was nice and warm.”

“My office is obnoxiously over air-conditioned, and I finally broke down and purchased this little space heater after reading all of the reviews,” the reviewer writes, giving the heater 5 stars. “This is as good or better [than what] other 5-star reviews have said. Believe the hype! My office is usually known as the coldest in the office space, and now people come in and comment on how nice and warm it is.”
