I bought one of these heaters cheap from a local supermarket and was not expecting much for the price, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got it home and found that it was very quiet, in fact it's the quietest of any portable heater I own, and I have about 7 different types, including ceramic heater and standard fan driven ones like this one.
This heater has a nice design to it that allows it to stand upright or lie flat. The handle serves as a stand to allow air flow from the top and bottom intakes while in the lying flat mode. The fan is not the standard blade type, but it uses a squirrel cage design that makes it much quieter and even stronger than the standard fan blade heaters.
What also surprised me about this heater is that it cranks out more heat on LOW than any other heater I have on HIGH. Even on low if you keep your hand right a few inches from the grille, it will almost get too hot to keep your hand there for long, and that's on low. But it actually seems to draw less than other heaters on high. I've not hooked it up to an AMP meter or anything to really get accurate reading, but judging from the fact that other heater dim the lights more on high than this one does on low, I would say that it is drawing the rated 750 watts but somehow putting out a lot more heat. Maybe it's the design, the squirrel cage type fan over standard blades or something else. I'm not really sure, but all I know is that this thing can heat up a good size room in about 10-15 minutes and almost make you start to sweat where as other heaters have to be kept on high for 30 minutes or hours to even try to do the same job.
I went back to the store and I bought 4 more of these heaters I liked it so much. It's the best portable heater I've found yet and as mentioned, I've tried numerous different types. My only issue with it is that the thermostat on certain ones does tend to stay on a long time which can make the room get too hot. They all work, but some will stay on for 30 minutes or more before shutting off...then it won't come back on until the room has gotten quite cold. It's not a digital thermostat but seems to be a more basic type that activates when the metal alloy drops to a certain temperature, warps and closes the circuit turning the heater back on, so of course it's not going to be as accurate or consistent.
But again I've had other heaters with different and supposedly better thermostats do the same thing. So in this price range it's still the best one that I have found, especially considering that I got all of mine for under $9 each at my local store on sale, so I surely can't complain. I'm actually hoping that they get another supply in this year as I want to pick up a couple more as backup, but I used them every day for hours last winter and It was might cold here in the northeast last year and none of them failed at all. I have one on right now as I write this review and it's making me very warm so I'm about to turn it off.

I purchased this heater six months ago for my bathroom that does not have a heater. What can I say-its a cabin house in the mtns. It's a great little heater that warms the room asap I bought it at DIY for a couple of dollars less.I am considering buying another for the mudroom. For short term warming (not on all day) I highly recommend it.

The heater sounded good enough online. It's hard to find a squirrel cage fan forced heater these days. The advantage is that they are very quiet.I sent this back the next day first of all the quality was cheap. Secondly, I never even got to test it since it was crushed and in multiple pieces.
The outer shipping box was in perfect condition but the product box inside was crushed as well as the heater. It all leads me to believe that the product was damaged before it was packed for shipping.
Amazon was great about the return and issued a prompt refund.
