Just received this heater. Paid $51. with shipping for it from a reputable source with 30 day returns. Looked it over and have it running full tilt currently. My impression is that it is worth a few bucks more than some of the cheaper plastic heaters. It's about all steel on the exterior and heavy to be so smallvery small. Like the rest, it's made in China but it looks fairly well made. It has a tilt shut off safety that kills the power when the unit tilts about 45 degrees or more to the front or rear but not when it tilts to either side. Claims to also have a thermal safety. Seems to be putting out plenty of intense heat at 1500 watts. It's fan forced heat so it does make the typical noise of a fan forced heater... If you want something quiet, get an oil filled radiator type space heater (my favorite type for safety). It's UL LISTED. If it should fail or act up, will update this review.

Jan 22, 2011, Due to its small size, the outer metal housing does get fairly hot in places. Would not place it on a flammable surface other than wood or tile, etc. It's still working fine. The thermostat control is hypersensitive when it's running hard and hot on the high setting. Sometimes it will turn off and on much too rapidly. Otherwise, it works fine.

Summer 2012: My only complaint is that the thermostat control is hypersensitiveit will cycle heater off and on too fast when it gets room warm. Could have a unit with a defective thermostat. It still gets the job done. Per the reviews I read before this purchase, one should be prepared to return this heater if he receives a bad one. Think a lot of the negative reviews are simply bogus.

Dec 20 2012: The silly Chinese thermostat is working more like it ought to now. Upped my rating from 3 to 4 stars. Would buy another one like this if I needed it.

Jan 2013: Purchased another one for 51.29 with shipping. May get another RV in the future. Two of these small heaters would be just right for a RV to avoid using onboard LP gas... The thermostat on the second one is somewhat sensitive like the first one but they put out heat. When it's cold, that's what matters. The thermostats just cycle off and on more rapidly than most portable heaters.

March 2013: Purchased a third one. Therefore, this must be a decent heater in my picky opinion. They are versatile little heaters that don't take up much space. Upped my rating from four stars to five. It's a good little heater. Being so small is an appealing factor to me. Saw the thermal safety work once on the first one I bought. Had the airflow blocked partially. The red caution light came on and the heater shut down to cool...

Have them rigged on power strips to use in whatever rooms are occupied so it'll be toasty only where needed while maintaining the overall home at a lower, more energy efficient temperature.

I love this heater -I've purchased severalit's small so it doesn't take up a lot of space but it heats the whole room quickly. has several settings and will turn off if a kid or pet knocks it over- very long lasting too.. I've got one I've had for about 20 years that still works great

We use this heater in our camper trailer. It provides abundant heat, even on the low setting. It's quiet enough that it doesn't bother sleeping. Much more effective and certainly less expensive than burning up the propane with the trailer's furnace.

Honest reviews on Broan-NuTone (6201) Big Heat Heater

It is small and compact .. yet heats up the bathroom very nicely on a cold winter morning. It only takes about 10-minutes of pre-heating time and the bathroom is a good 10-15 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. I would highly recommend this product to others ...

The "Broan 6201 Big Heat", heater is well worth the money. I owned the previous model, Broan 6200 Big Heat for use in a 34 ft. Motor Home. I used it for 10 winters. It finally wore out. I was so excited to find the same Brand, "Broan 6201 Big Heat", on "Amazon.com". I have used other brands, but the "Broan" is the best you can buy.
