Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program If Darth Vader were a heater, this is what he would look like. More important: this uncomplicate heater quickly rises to the temperature you set, has a high and low setting, and best of all, automotically turns off when the room gets too hot, so you don't find yourself gasping for water in the middle of the night. I tried this out when I arrived at our cabin in the woods over Thankgsiving weekend, and was more than satisfied by how warm and toasty it made my bedroom. Well worth the investment.

Best Deals on Whrilpool Centrifugal Fan Assisted Ceramic Heater

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I really like this heater.

It's one of the newer ones on the market. What makes it different is that this one is not directional or oscillating as a great majority if not all on the market are. This heater "heats" in the 360 degree area.

Easy to open, and operate. One feature that is missing (future models I'm sure will include) is a remote control. Then again many on the market do not.

Directions state you keep it THREE feet away from drapes, or other items in the room for risk of fire. That's a priority!

Also it's important to note directions state do NOT use a power extension. Risk of fire!!

Also plug it directly into the wall. Do NOT use a flimsy extension cord as you would for a radio or such. The extension WILL heat up and cause a fire. Just a matter of time, so don't use a flimsy extension cord.

IF you require an extension cord, call the company and inquire about a "Contractor Grade" extension cord. These are expensive, but can tolerate high voltage items safely.

The heater uses a maximum 1500 watts of electricity. A moderate amount, normal for heaters.

I found this heater to work good. Place it in the center of the room. So far I've found it to heat well. So far we are not getting frigid temps. so this is working good by placing it in the living room while watching TV. Heats the room well without having to heat the whole house.

It's lightweight, so if you want to move it from room to room that will be easy.

That's about all. It's straight forward. Nothing to make you think or put together. People who want an evenly heated room should enjoy this.

Honest reviews on Whrilpool Centrifugal Fan Assisted Ceramic Heater

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Seven years ago, my husband and I moved into a home with an electric heat pump. I've since purchased more warm clothing than I have owned at any time in my life. And I've tried several different types of adjunct heaters. My office is a particular problem, since it's above the garage and never seems to warm up except in the height of summer.

I'm really liking this little Whirlpool WHTC361EL. It's small, quiet, and highly efficient. We plugged it in and turned it on in my office and the heater got the 10X10 (approx) room warm in less than ten minutes. The top of the heater stays cool enough so you can handle it. The heater has a tipover safety feature, so it turns off automatically if a child or pet knocks it over. Temperature is set by a dial--you click in five degree increments. Off/on is a push button. It also has a low and a high heat function, which would force out more heat on the high. I've got the heat set on high and it works great.

The only reason this heater didn't get a five star review is because it came so poorly packaged I was afraid it wasn't going to work. Normally, Amazon double boxes products and provides enough packaging to keep your items safe from any kind of gorilla handling, but this box came in the Whirpool packaging and looked like someone used it for soccer practice. Luckily, the little heater inside was well-wrapped by Whirlpool and came out without a scratch.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This space heater had the features I was looking for tip over/over heat protection and temperature settings so the heater would turn on/off at/when it reaches a certain temperature. It also has a continuous heat setting and high and low power settings. I will use it to heat a 12x14 room that's too far from the furnace to get any heat!

The unit is short (16 inches tall, about 9 inch diameter) with a handle on the back for carrying. You have to kneel to get at the controls if you have it on the floor. It takes up cool air from below, the unit heats it and a fan blows it out the top all the way around. That's supposed to provide "even" heating in the room but if you put it near a corner like I do, that's maybe not the best place for it. I preferred my oscillating heater in that respect. But this heater is much quieter than my old one at either power setting (the fan speed doesn't change).

Compared to my old heater, this takes longer to heat the room and the thermostat seems to be a little off (so was the old heater's) and you have to set it at a higher than you think you want. There is no info in the manual but from using it, it seems like the thermostat only works on the high setting. When I have it on low, it runs continuously. Still, the trade-off for less noise is worth it.
