I was looking for a SAFE heater for under my desk at home. This heater seemed to have it all: digital thermostat, hi/lo settings, oscillates, tip-over protection, overheat protection, timer and more...

The only annoying thing is this heater doesn't remember ANY of its settings. Every time you turn it on you have to set the temperature, hi/low, oscillation... it should just remember these settings.

Overall a great product that I feel safe having running under my desk at home... just one little annoyance.

We have used this Honeywell heater in our office at work for 3 winters now. It effectively heats 2 offices. We are located in SW Florida so only have to use it about 6 weeks a year. So far it has worked great for us. I just ordered one for my house. When tipped over, this heater shuts off long before it hits the floor. It has great safety features. I have 2 big dogs in my house and do not foresee a problem using this heater. Most of the heater stays cool to the touch. The screen area gets hot but i can hold my hand on it without it burning. I am so glad to have this heater.

The Honeywell HZ-3750WP digital ceramic heater is a cheezy bit of silliness. Having lived with a cold bathroom for many years and worn out many small electric heaters, I can say from experience that this model is not worth the trouble. It irritates me that heater manufacturers rarely mention the fact that their heaters have a fan. A fan is a complete waste of money for a bathroom heater. Like most other heaters of this type, the fan is not mentioned anywhere; not on the box, not in the Amazon description. The important thing is to heat you, not the room. Air circulation is not all that important.

So, what is the best small room heater design? Your best bet is a quartz or carbon rod heater with no fan. This design is much like standing in front of a nice warm fire. All of the electricity goes into the heat. The fan does almost nothing and is just a waste of wattage. Standing in front of a pure radiant heater, even if the rest of the room is cold, you are toasty warm. I do believe the consumer product rating organizations agree with me on this.

The important thing is to heat you, not the room. This little bummer is only moderately effective in reaching that goal.
