Where I live I don't get enough heat. This is my second halogen heater. It gives out very good heat and warms up my living room excellent. My first one did last about two years and then it stopped working, I had to get another one. I believe the wire burnt out after constant use but it really did the job for me and did not send up my eletricity bill. It lights up bright but we got use to the brightness, it has two settings and it rotates. Halogen heaters are also cheeper to run. I am going to buy a third one for the bedroom.

Cheap Duraflame Portable Infrared Quartz Fireplace - 1500 Watts, Model#

We purchased the Duraflame Portable Infrared Quartz Fireplace from Northern Tools, via Amazon. This is one of the best purchases ever; we love it! We live in Michigan and wanted something to warm our family room where we spend most of our time without turning up the main furnace. Duraflame is one of the top brands for safety and dependability. The unit is cool to the touch, and the flames are surprisingly realistic. The 1500 watts is more than adequate to heat our family room of 26 feet by 12 feet with a 9 foot ceiling. There is a low hum from the unit, but it isn't annoying. The Duraflame was purchased in late September 2012 and has been in use every morning and evening October through December (about 8 hours each day). Duraflame says their basic units will cost approximately $30 per month if used 8 hours per day. This unit has a programable temperature, so the unit will use less energy. Come warm weather, we'll wheel the unit into the spare room. We highly recommend Duraflame's Portable Infrared Quartz Fireplace thank you Amazon, and kudos to Northern Tools for their great service and incredibly fast shipping.

On Thanksgiving I had the family over, and they we so impressed with this fireplace! They said it made them feel very cozy. My brother said he was going to see about getting one for his house. My mother said she wanted to get one also, so I bought her one for Christmas. I use mine all the time, and it is better then a real fire, because you just push a button and you get instance flames and a glowing fire.

Read some of the reviews and wasn't sure if this would work for us in our motor home for those nights that the furnace just doesn't seem to keep our "home" warm enough. It sure is a great addition to the look of our home, and heats it really well.

We are pleased with it and didn't not have any noise when it works other than what we expected.

Works very well to make our 3 season room almost 4 seasons. We ordered ours in medium oak, however it arrived with a different wood. A call to the supplier and we were offered to receive the correct model or accept a rebate.

Nothing is more uncomfortable than a bed of nails. Second might be a waterbed whose heater has died. This heater did the job of replacing my dead one. It was relatively easy to install (one must drain the water first, of course), easy to set, and has maintained a constant temperature. The digital display is especially nice.

This is a very nice waterbed heater but it does say you might need to heaters if your matteress has a lot of fiber fill luckily my mattress isn't one of those so it heats the bed just fine or the amps it uses. Would have been good to know in the beginning when ordering though.

I love this waterbed heater. It works great!

I previously had a 30 year old heater that I broke on accident but it didn't obviously have the digital temperature.

The digital temperature is a great way to increase/decrease your temp and it also has a long enough cord to tuck away in a place were it can't be seen!

I love this heater and highly recommend it to anyone out there

We've had this heater for about a month. It initially took about a day and a half to get up to temp. It has warmed the whole bed and seems to be working just fine. We thought since it is a digital display that it would be able to tell us the current temp as well as the temp it is set too, but it just flashes if the temp is different then what it is set too. I suppose that really only would have been nice to know when it was first heating ans in theory it should be pretty close to the set temp the rest of the time.

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $399.00
Sale Price: $112.50

This was my initial review posted on a deal site where i learned about this heater.

Consider this the good.

Been running the Lifesmart Infrared heater for the last 4 days and i think its a keeper.

We lowered our downstairs thermostat to 60 and cranked up the Lifesmart on high. It took several hours before the thermostat was satisfied when set to 68 degrees.

Once it cycled off and on a couple times, i tried raising the thermostat to 72. It never shut off. Looks like 66-68 is going to be the sweet spot if we dont want it running continuously.

I have it in a room that measures 13'x27' with 8' ceilings. We put up sheets to block double wide openings into adjacent rooms.

We put a temp gauge on the shelf and it does read around 68-70 degrees when the unit cycles off.

So is this thing going to heat a 1,000 to 1,500 sq. ft. area? I really doubt it, but it does a decent job of heating the room i purchased it for. It even has an off/on timer which we used both to turn the unit on in the morning an hour before we get up and then we also used it to shut off 2 hours after leaving the house just in case our guest forgets to turn it off.

The fan may be a little noisy for some, but we couldn't hear it with the TV going so its not a big deal.

You can feel the warm air coming out of it from about 4' away, but beyond that its not directly noticeable.

I haven't had the chance to hook up my Kill-A-Watt meter yet, but hope to do so this week.

Remote control works well and all functions are accessible through it.

The power cord does get a little warm to the touch. The manual does say that it must be plugged into an outlet rated at 15 Amps or more and that nothing else be allowed to run on that circuit.

If you do the math, 1500 Watts at 120 volts = 12.5 Amps. So i wont be running the microwave, TV or any other such appliance at the same time. Luckily we have a couple circuits in the living room area, so it hasnt been an issue for us.

So the jury is still out on the added electricity cost, but if the claims of a dollar a day hold true, hopefully itll save us some money on our oil bill. The manual bases that claim on operating it for 8 hours out of the day. Based on our KWH rate of 8.265, our cost to operate comes out to about .99 cents pr/day.

Ill be anxious to hook up the Kill-A-Watt and see what it says and also to have a look at our first electric bill.

The Bad and the Ugly:

Just short of 3 weeks of use, we got 2 E1 errors within 2 days of each other. Had to unplug the unit and plug right back in. We were able to continue using it after.

I knew about these E1 errors after reading some reviews here and was hoping it wouldnt happen to me. I decided to buy it anyways hoping Lifesmart had resolved the issue.

A couple days later the unit started shutting off completely with no error code. After letting it sit for a while, the power light would come back on. If we tried unplugging and replugging right away, it would not come back on and no lights appeared on the unit.

With just 2 days left on the return policy, it got sent back yesterday.

I emailed Lifesmart twice about the issue and after several days wait got a response suggesting it was an overheat issue and that i needed to make sure there was a minimum of 2-3 ft clearance behind the unit, that it wasnt plugged into a circuit with other high draw devices, that it wasnt on a GFCI outlet and that we weren't using an extension cord. None of this applied to us except for the fact that there are 2 lamps on the same circuit. As mentioned before i measured the Lifesmart heater drawing 12.5 Amps at its highest setting, so that leaves a little room for some low current devices like the lamps.

After waiting several more days when i inquired about shipping costs to send it back to them for repair, they said that they would ship me the parts and i could install them myself! I have no problem doing this, but found it highly unusual that they would suggest something like this on a unit thats still under warranty.

I got this email on my way to ship the unit back to the retailer i bought it from.

Last weekend i went out and bought 2 different inexpensive Fan Heaters that both have a 1500 watt setting. Both did about the same as the Lifesmart heater in keeping the room described above at around 66-68 degrees. The one cheaper fan was purchased for $16 and doesnt have the bells and whistles that the Lifesmart has, but it cost a whole lot less. The 2nd one costs $35 and does have a shut off timer feature, but no start up timer (which i miss). Both have the auto shut off tip feature.

Our electric bill did go up some in the 3 weeks we ran the lifesmart and i dont expect that using either of these less expensive heaters will change the electricity usage much. I put my Kill-A-Watt meter on both of the cheaper units and they both draw about the same wattage and current as the lifesmart.

The Lifesmart ran pretty much continuously unless i had it set to 66 degrees. It would then cycle off occasionally. As i have read elsewhere and in some recent deal forum discussions, is that 1500 watts is 1500 watts no matter how you slice it. The lifesmart is no more efficient than either of these 2 fan heaters i bought. The only thing these Amish style Infrared heaters have going for them is looks and the possible inclusion of an timer to turn the unit on at a specified time.

I was interested in these types of heaters but after reading some of the reviews I was unsure. I decided to try it after a friend told me they had one and loved it. I live in NH and bought this to help heat my 500sq ft mobile home....well I am pleased to say that it has been heating my home all by itself, I have it set on low and on 68* and it keeps the whole place at that temp( I also run a fan to circulate the air)....its been in the low 20's and its done great! My propane furnace hasn't run once since I got this heater which is great at 3.40 a gallon for propane! I haven't gotten the 1st electricity bill yet, but I have figured out on low it uses 1000 watts an hour which is 1 kilo watt an hour and at .16 cents a kilo watt/hr thats $3.85 a day if it ran constantly which it does not, it cycles on and off so my bill shouldn't be that bad compared to propane costs....we will see. I recommend this heater to anyone looking to supplement their heating bill...its been doing a great job for me!

The LS1500-6 is bulkier and very noisy compared to the LS1500-4. We have both, and even though the LS1500-6 looks nicer, it's not worth dealing with the extra noise. Also, in terms of heating capability both models seemed about the same to us. The LS1500-6 failed on us after only 2 weeks of use, and vminnovations wanted us to pay forty bucks to ship it back to them for a replacement, plus shipping costs for the new unit ridiculous. We should have dealt directly with amazon since they have a better return policy for dealing with defective merchandise.

Excellent heater, and I would highly recommend to others.

Because the price of propane has gone up exponentially, I decided it was time to do some zone heating. I live in a 2200 sq foot house with myself and my dog... no reason to heat the whole house when we spend 99% of the time in 3 rooms. I turned down the main furnace by about 12 degrees. I bought a couple of other heaters which work well in smaller rooms, but my kitchen/family room area is about 650sq ft, and in order to heat them up, I had to have two space heaters running. This one heats the room up in about an hour (72 degrees) on high, and then will maintain that temp on the low setting.

The one feature I love is the timer. Just before going to bed, I turn the unit off and set the timer to 7 hours. The heater turns on about one hour before I get up and voila, no more freezing in the morning while I wait for the room to warm up.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is that it is noisier than I expected. But I can live it, and just don't put it next to me.

Reviews of Lasko 5572 Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater with Remote Control

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $114.99

Just got this tower heater today. Observations so far:

-I deducted a star because it's a bit wobbly on carpet and on ceramic tile. It's probably too heavy to tip easily, but it bears mentioning. It's quite tall. The space saving of a tower heater is perfect for my small motorhome, so I live with wobble. No idea how this could be corrected without creating unwanted bigger footprint or weight.

-I put it in a different place during the day, so the carry handle is convenient.

-It seems to be more powerful than my smaller Lasko tower heater, even though the watt settings are the same as the smaller heater. Maybe it's more efficient.

-The front definitely needs to be located a yard from any flammables, because the heat coming out is too hot to hold my hand two feet in front of it, even on low, for more than a few seconds.

-The remote is simple to use. The remote's buttons could be more differentiated for easier operation in the dark.

-The controls on the heater itself are cheesy looking, and the engraved silver-on-silver labels are difficult to read in shadow.

-I would like to have the thermostat work on the low setting. In both my Lasko towers the thermostat works only on high. Freeze or fry.

-The heat and blower can't be felt at the bottom foot or so. I can put it almost anywhere, and it won't bother the cat on the floor. The downside is that the lowest part of the room isn't heated.

-There's a clip on the back that holds the remote. It would be great for Lasko to include a second one of those cutom fitted clips to be able to attach to a wall to hang the remote near where it will actually be used.

I phoned Lasko to get some help comparing the various heaters, of which they list 19 in the tower design alone. Basically I was told I had to figure it out myself from whatever product descriptions they provided online. Fortunately Home Depot online makes an effort to help compare multiple products; although, it's limited to what they offer, of course. Both HD and Walmart carry this model, but neither had it in stock. Prices were the about the same, and I saved tax and shipping with my Prime membership by purchasing through Amazon.

I recently purchased the LASKO 5568 and liked it so much I decided to get another; wound up getting this model instead and can't say enough good things about it. The design is well conceived, solid quality construction, and very effective. Throws out a considerable amount of heat, the fan is very quiet at both high and low, and the options for operation are all useful and work well. Lasko seems to manufacture a series of these ceramic tower units and all are very well reviewed; I checked the review on bestcovery.com and this unit was rated number 1, and for good reason. I use both these heaters in larger rooms (14 X 26) with 9 ft. ceilings and they are effective in taking off the chill and keeping the room comfortable. The fan on this model is so quiet on low I can barely hear it, yet it continues to put out a steady stream of hot air. Appears to be a quality product built to last, and at $68 you get a LOT for your money, I rate this a best buy as well.

My bedroom averages 56 degrees in the winter. I freeze when getting dressed or when I first get into bed. I now set the heater to 65 degrees and in no time the large bedroom is cozy even though there are cathedral ceilings. I'm sure if I wanted the room warmer the tower would bring the temperature up higher. I also like the way the Lasko 5572 oscillates. I would recommend this heater to anyone who needs to heat a room and keep it at a consistent temperature.

Just bought and received this through Amazon. A family member recommended the Lasko brand after his purchasing a few different models and sizes himself in the past three years.

After further researching different models and brands, I purchased this one because it rated highly on Amazon.com and other sites -including bestcovery.com -in the Top 5 for Best Tower, Best Large Room, and Best Oscillating.

Below I'll describe a few things to help others trying to decide....including why I was looking, features I sought, setting it up, and how it performed first two days.

WHY: I live in a cold, damp geography during winter and the home's central electric heat seems to be on all the time. Needed something for a large open living/dining/kitchen poorly insulated space on the first floor ~800 sq ft, which is typically colder.

FEATURES SOUGHT: Specifically, features I wanted and influencing my decision for this model:

--Ceramic (no open heating elements)

--Powerful ~1500 watts (for large space)

--Automatic Thermostat / Auto Temp Control (for minimal muckying around myself)

--Long Timer (8 hours)

--Timer Self Shut Off

--Oscillating (for better heat distribution)

--Remote (for use in other rooms)

--Wider/heavier at bottom than top (for better stability)

--Slim & simple design to be as inconspicuous as possible

--Simple heat fan speeds (High/Low, again for least muckying)

--Price (close to $50)

I already had a HEPA air filter/ionizer in the space, so didn't need the filter function.

Other models I compared to had shorter timers, lower wattage, smaller size, no oscillators, and/or no remote.

SET UP: Received the box undamaged, opened and set it up. At under 6 lbs, the unit was light weight enough for little ol' me to pull out of box and stand without strain. ;-)

Handle on top / back is a generous size to be able to move the unit a few inches with a single hand.

Read instructions, plugged it in, turned on power, and the unit did what the instructions said. It started on high and read current room temperature at 63*F. Followed instructions to use buttons, then set C or F, target temp to 75*F, and oscillating on.

PERFORMANCE FIRST TWO DAYS: Very impressive. It began pumping solid heat on high. Within an hour it read 70*F in the space, and within two hours it read 73*F. Checking against another thermometer I had, it was only about a degree difference. Within 3 hours, it read 75*F and turned itself off for a bit. It's a large space, so I was pleasantly surprised. Concluded the time it took to get to 75* was a function of the inherent coldness and lack of insulation in the space, not of the heater output.

THINGS I NOTICED RIGHT AWAY:

--Be sure to have two AAA batteries handy when it arrives to install in remote. Unit ships without batteries.

--Heat output is clearly noticeable.

--Oscillating function makes no noise.

--It's the high fan setting that makes a moderate volume whir. Low fan noise is barely noticeable.

--Font size of the Temp display is large ~3/4" and easily readable, on both the unit and remote, so I don't have to use reading glasses.

--Remote is very light weight. It works from as much as 20' away, but main unit display needs to be facing where you/the remote are.

--Beeping happens for every press on both unit and remote, but it's a reasonable volume. Folks with sensitive sleeping children may want to really consider this. It'd be nice to have a High, Low, or Mute volume setting, but for the price and knowing this model didn't have one, it's acceptable.

OVERALL: Great unit, works well, as promised, and I'd definitely buy this Lasko again.

NOTE: I also ordered a DeLonghi comparable model for the master suite, and am awaiting shipment/receipt. It has had similar Top Tower reviews. Unlike this Lasko model, I ordered the DeLonghi TCH7690ER Safeheat

specifically for these functions I needed for the master bedroom space:

--Fan-Only function without heat for summer use summer

--24 hour timer

--Air/dust filter

--Tip over safety turn-off

Once received, I'll try to post a review of it.

Happy sleuthing!

Ordered this for my wife for Christmas. She always wanted a fireplace in our bedroom and this was the way to go. I was excited...the package arrived before Christmas as promised and voila! No fireplace. The item came with just the mantle. The mantle is well made and fairly easy to assemble. As I unpacked the box I assumed the heater would be in the box. Nope. Nada. Zilch. I called Amazon and they were great in helping me resolve the problem. According to them, the item was under review, so hopefully it is fixed and the heater is included.

What threw me off was the BTU's given in the description...not too many mantles I know of have BTU's unless the heater is included! The item shipped was the mantle only and no electric fireplace. Hopefully Amazon found the heaters!

I too only received the mantle the first time I ordered. I called Amazon and told them that the firebox was missing and that there had to be 2 boxes because all of the order would not fit in one. They sent me another one and it did come with the firebox. I have it in my bedroom and it looks very nice. It has 3 levels of flame and 5 levels of heat on thermostat. They also work independently of each other and that was very important to me. I found this at other stores for much more money plus tax and shipping so it's a really good deal if they can get the order right.

Mantle looks nice and as described with easy assembly.

However, I believe the item description is wrong. Firebox is not included with this item. I ordered 3 different times after not receiving the firebox and each time a new one was sent all you get is the mantle and not the firebox/heater. I even had one shipped from manufacture and no firebox. I believe there should be two boxes as part of this delivery or the item description is wrong and you are only getting a mantle.

When I first opened the package, I was...

...whelmed.

The padded gear bag's plastic liner is brittle. It cracked and wouldn't hold water after the first week. The heating element is merely a coil of soft copper tubing poked into a sheet-metal box. The D-cell-powered 1/4-scale model sump pump caused laughter.

It works.

We now take showers inside our pop-up truck camper *in the winter*. We use the existing 12V water pump by force-fitting the input hose over the sink faucet while the heater is on the stove burner. When the water is really cold, we have to cycle the pump on and off (not recommended by the instructions, but then neither is using the thing inside on my inside stove, right?)

I could probably rig one up with $25 ~ $50 in hardware. But it would take half a day or more and probably look like a kluge. So, for a hundred extra bucks I get to have a camping shower that works.

Fair enough, at least it works.

EDIT: Somebody just taught me how to use a garden variety tank sprayer, filled with warm water, as a camp shower. This is such a better idea, that I am abandoning this piece of equipment and moving to the tank sprayer. Just sayin'...

I really liked the design of this fireplace and after shopping and comparing MANY options... even others of the same design at other stores that were nearly twice the price, I decided to give this one a shot... wondering if the lower price meant it would be lesser quality.

I heat my house with wood and have a wood stove (that has glass door) and a fireplace. For me there is no other way to get warmreal wood is the best. I built my man room by cutting off part of my garage and I have all the manly stuff one could want (big tv, bad ass music system, bar, reclining chair, etc...) so when my mother in law suggested that I put in an electric fireplace below the tv, I was really skeptical! She has really good instinct for style and decoration, and I trust her advice all the time. I settled on this electric fireplace mostly because of it's looks. Now that it's in, it's really pretty cool! It puts off good heat, and I would of given it 5 stars, but it is a little noisy. I think someone else reviewed that noise as "crackling", but it's notit's the fan turning. The flames look fake, but, for what it is it's really cool.

What some call flimsy, I call lightweight. And I appreciate not having to wrestle with a heavy screen when making a fire. My fireplace itself is decorative, so, for my purposes, the simplicity of this mesh screen design works well. The screen came packaged in a lot of protective cushioning, too, and did not require assembly, so no problems there. I suppose if this screen gets rough treatment (though why would it?) that it might not last as long as some others that are more substantial. On the other hand, this screen also cost less than many, so I could afford to replace more often, too.

The second thing I noticed was the extremely poor quality of the material and assembly. I am very handy by nature, but even I had to give up trying to put this piece of junk back together again.

I needed it to keep my small dog from wandering too close to our gas fireplace and it achieves that objective just fine. The down side is that it is of extremely light weight materials, not like heavy fireplace screens I remember from my youth. wouldn't stand up to anything heavy bashing against it, but it looks ok. More imported handiwork.

This is a very decent heater. It's small, nearly silent, and appears to be quite safe. So far, I've been using mine in a standard-sized bedroom, which is efficiently fills with warm air. I haven't tried it in a larger space, but since it so easily heats the air in my bedroom, I'm assuming it's capable of something larger as well.

The number one concern with a space heater is safety. After running this unit on high for a few hours, the plastic body was still cool to the touch. Of course the metal face plate where the heat is discharged gets quite hot, but it changes to a glowing red color, so you don't accidentally touch it.

Use an extension cord at your own risk. Holmes doesn't recommend it, but since the supplied cord is only a few feet, you basically have no choice unless you want it really close to the wall (also not a good idea). It draws about 1500 watts, so you'll want a very heavy duty extension cord rating 1875 watts or better, 14 gauge or less. I picked one up specifically to use with this heater and it DOES get warm after a while. The extension cord wasn't dangerously hot or anything, but its temperature did begin to rise slightly.

Basically, you just need to be sensible: don't leave the heater running unattended, don't run the cord under carpet, unplug the unit from the wall when it's not in use, don't try to use a conventional household extension cord, don't plug anything else into the outlet that you use for this, etc. etc. standard stuff. This applies for any space heater, of course.

It has an auto-shutdown feature if its tipped over or becomes too hot. Again, you just need to be sensible and not use it by flammable materials or around children. I chose this unit specifically for its excellent safety features, so based on my research on what's currently available at Target/WalMart/Etc. in the $30-100 range, I'm confident that, if used correctly, this is a good bet for safe, effective heating.

There is a thermostat built in with a variety of settings. It has five levels between 60 and 80 degrees, with each available in both "high" and "low". It also has a general "always on" mode where you can set it on high or on low. I'm a bit skeptical as to the efficacy of the thermostat. For a $30-40 unit, I wouldn't expect anything super-precise or anything. It's very general from what I can tell.

I can definitely recommend this to anyone wanted to efficiently heat anything around 10x14 or so. Again, it probably works in a bigger area, but I haven't tried it. Be safe and enjoy.

Unlike the other customers, I have had great success with this product. The small heater keeps my large bedroom warm through out the night. The heater has two settings, high and low, and it also has a setting where it will keep the room at a constant temperatrue setting up to 89 degrees. It can also be set to come on automatically. I have not had any problems with a bad smell . Great product give it a try if you are wanting to heat only one room in your house to save money. I like it so much, I bought two.

Only buy this if you can find it cheaper. I bought this from my wholesale club for 40 dollars. Otherwise it's not worth the money. When I originally bought this heater, I grabbed it from the top and moved it to another location in my room. After doing that, it made a really bad cranking noise every time it oscillated. I exchanged it after a week. The new heater doesn't have that problem. But I did notice this new heater blows cold air out the bottom. The manual says it will blow cold air once it reaches desired temperature to prevent overheating. But mine blows cold air on bottom as soon as you turn it on, before the temperature even gets adjusted. I'm just going to keep this one b/c its a hassle to drive and return it. The cold air blowing on bottom prevents my floor and nearby rug from getting heated so I guess that's a plus. And after leaving the heater on for a few minutes, the cold air seems to go away.

If you decide to buy this, just make sure you don't move the heater around alot. Its made of cheap plastic and the inside structure does not seem that stable. So leaving it in the center of the room should suffice. If you do decide to move it, hold it gently by the bottom base, don't grab it from the top. They didn't put handles on this thing so I guess it's not meant to be moved around a lot.

In terms of heating, it does a good job. I have a 12 x 9 ft bedroom and this heater can warm up the room in about 15 min. It has a programmable thermostat which will automatically shut off when desired room temp is reached. There is also a remote which I can program from my bed which I like.

In terms of the smell, it does have a heated plastic smell when you first turn it on, but the smell goes away after a while.

I am not sure how much electricity it uses since I haven't gotten my bill yet but since my family doesn't want to turn on heat yet for the whole entire house, this works just fine to heat up a small room.

Honest reviews on Holmes HCH6150-UM Triple Ceramic Tower

We've had this heater for two months now, and it is a complete piece of junk. It only ever seems to put out cold air. It says it will only blow cold air to keep an accurate temperature reading, or to not overheat, but it doesn't blow hot air enough to get even warm to the touch! Every now and then it will put out a little heat, but only for a minute or two, then it goes back to cold air. I thought I bought a heater, not a fan. It is going back to the store this weekend. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS HEATER!

I purchased this heater a couple of years ago and have used it off and on since then. It will do a decent job at heating a small area, but there are a few issues I have with it.

First the positives; as I said, the unit does a good job of heating a small or medium room, provided it is mostly enclosed. For example, a bedroom or office will get nice and warm, but if you're trying to heat a larger room or a room that has no doors and is open to other areas, you will not get a significant increase in room temperature.

The remote was nice -I have since lost mine -and allows you to control the unit from, say, the comfort of your bed. You will need to get up and walk over to the heater itself in order to use some functions, but it's a nice thing to have.

This heater has a timer function that allows you to essentially start a count-down 'til when you want the heater to turn on. This is pretty useful for having it heat your bedroom an hour or so before you get up, instead of having the unit running all night or having the room be freezing.

Now the negatives; first and foremost, I'll mention my issue with the heater's built-in thermostat/thermometer. On the heater's display, you can view what the unit believes is the room's current temperature. This is most useful when putting the heater in "Auto" mode, where you can set a certain temperature for the room and the heater will turn off and on based on your particular comfort level. However, the problem with the design of the heater's thermostat is that, I believe, it is located too close to the unit's heating elements and is also probably too enclosed within the casing. I say this because when you first plug the heater in, it will give you an accurate room temperature reading. I have verified this using an indoor/outdoor weather thermometer, as well as my apartment's existing room thermostats. As the heater is operating and warms up, however, the difference between the room's actual temperature and the heater's measure of the room's temp increases. This is an issue because the heater will often turn off prematurely; for e.g. it may think the room's temperature is 70 degrees when it is actually as low as 65. This can make setting the heater's auto temperature shut-off a bit of hit-or-miss guesswork, a skill I have yet to acquire even after two winters with the device.

The timer option I mentioned earlier is a nice feature, but it only allows you to set full, whole hours. It would be nice if you could set it to be more specific, like .5 hrs. increments, since the whole point of the timer is to essentially save money. Also, the timer only works to count-down to then the unit will turn on. It will not "count-up" to when you'd like it to shut off. So if you forget to turn it off and leave the house, it'll run the entire time.

Another issue that may just be my personal perception is that the oscillating option is a bit useless. Unless you have a bunch of people crowded around the heater, the unit's fans aren't strong enough where turning on oscillation would increase the unit's efficiency.

One more point that is really just a nit-picking thing; the display on the heater is a very bright green which may be an issue for you if you have the timer set at night and are trying to sleep. Again, I realize that's a bit of a trivial issue, but I know it was a bit annoying for me and may be for others.

Overall, this unit was, as I said, decent. I wouldn't spend more than 45 $ or so for this and if you check Consumer Reports, they always have a list of the year's most efficient stand-alone heaters. I know for a fact this Holmes Tower isn't on there.
