The fan control has only 1 speed, but features 4 settings, 1) Off, 2) Fan only, 3) Low heat and Fan, and 4) High heat and fan. There is also a thermostat control which allows you to specify how much heat you want. The unit is stable and produces a warm airflow which can be felt up to about 6 feet away. The relatively low fan speed means it is very quiet. (I can't hear it at all, but surely there is some noise.)
The fan is made of plastic, and the heat is calibrated to be low enough for this. I have nudged it with bare feet, but never found the unit too hot to touch. It does not seem to have a shutoff, for when the unit is knocked over. I haven't knocked it over yet, but I did turn it face up and down to check for a shutoff.
Other than the shutoff, the only thing this unit could use is an estimate of what temperature corresponds to the thermostat settings. It would be nice to have some idea what to set it too, rather than just picking a setting and adjusting if it seems too hot or too cold. As part of the instructions, this shouldn't be that much of a change, in an already good product.

I recently bought this desk heater for work. You wouldn't think it gets cold in Phoenix AZ but it does. I sit in front of a window and there are drafts. I wanted a heater that wasn't expensive so if it didn't work that well I wouldn't be out much money. I am very pleased on how it works and you control the temperature and fan speeds. The fan is quiet and I appreciate that when I am on a phone call. I really like this heater and I highly recommend it to those whose desk area is cold. Also, the size is great so it works well on your desk.Best Deals on Impress IM-701 1500-Watt Compact Fan Heater with Adjustable
I purchased this heater last week to use at the office when it gets cold. There are two fan speeds for the heater and it can also be used as a regular fan without heat. There is a dial on the side that controls the thermostat.The unit is quiet and really good at regulating the temperature. Most heaters I've used in the past seem to make the area too warm before turning off, and don't turn on until it's already too cold. This unit turns itself off and on frequently to keep the temperature consistent.
There was a "heater" smell when I first used the unit and it was a little stronger at the higher speed, but it wasn't overwhelming and was what I would expect from this type of appliance.
The Amazon description of the product was accurate, there were no surprises when I took it out of the box. I'm very happy with the heater and it works even better than I anticipated.
Honest reviews on Impress IM-701 1500-Watt Compact Fan Heater with Adjustable
Good heater for the cost. Has multiple settings which can provide warmth or just a fan for any occasion. Also very quite while operating. Only reason I didn't mark 5 stars is because if you have it set on higher fan speed or high heat setting it has a strong smell when the coils are heated up. I have it for a small 10x12 room and hardly have to use either of those settings though.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Impress IM-701 1500-Watt Compact Fan Heater with Adjustable
Mine worked ok during the first two months I had it, but now the heating element seems to have shut down, completely and permanently. The fan still runs, there's just no heat. I've tried it on different days, with different outlets, and tried leaving it on for a while to see if it would warm up eventually but no luck.Fyi, if it breaks after the Amazon return period (as mine did), the manual says you can return it to the manufacturer at your own expense and they'll send you a new or refurbished one within 10 days. I'm not doing this myself, though, so I can't report anything about how smoothly that process works.
