Review of Geneva Industrial Group Westpointe LH-879 750/1500-WattMilk House

Customer Ratings:

I just purchased this heater to heat an 8-12 room and it works very well. There have been no overheating problems, the fan is reasonably quiet, and the room is heated very quickly. The tip-over safety device works extremely well, as does the thermostat; however, one doesn't set a particular temperature in degrees, once the room is warm enough the thermostat is adjusted until the unit just goes off and then it maintains that temperature. All metal construction, looks well built, sturdy, and durable.

Works well but fan motor makes rattling noise that can distracting if you are using in a sleeping area. Unit is bigger than my old milkhouse type heater and I do like this size better. The controls are good and easy to set. It does give the option of 750 or 1500 hundred watt settings.

I live in San Antonio, so winters are not as drastic as farther north; however, we do have months of 40-degree nights. I use this in my efficiency (250 sqft). It is powerful for such a small heater and works well to keep the place warm. On coldest nights I supplement it in the mornings by turning on a couple of my gas stove burners for 30 minutes. This is the only heating system I use and am happy with it.

The heater is not decorative, but is solid and sturdy; the fan works great, it is fairly quiet, thermostat is a nice feature to set at night, and it is small enough to work around easily in my tiny place.

I have gone through many nicer-looking heaters which would work for a year, then overheat. This seems as if it is made to last. No oscillation, unfortunately, but the quality and value make up for that. I turn my ceiling fan on low winter setting to circulate the heat and stay cozy.

Would recommend to anyone looking to heat a small place or maybe one room in colder winter weather.

I like this style/type of space heater because I think it is safer--the heating element is not close to the front. And the heater has a fan to disperse the heat.

This heater is easily set for the temperature you want in a room by following the instructions. Basically, when the room reaches the comfort level you want, you turn the dial slowly until the heater shuts off ... and then it will come back on when the temperature drops below a certain level. I like that it shuts off and comes back on this way because some heaters have sensors or dials that don't measure the temperature as accurately, and I have found myself resetting them during the night. What a bother.

I use a Sharpie pen to mark the setting for each of the space heaters and this works very well for me. I turn them off when I leave the house. During the night, I use one or two, one for my parrot--he's used one for years. His stays on when I leave the house, but the range is then set lower--only comes on if the temperature drops below 50 degrees. Has only happened when I arrived home after dark, and found the heater on, so I know the heater works well. He has a thermometer attached to the lower level of his cage.

My parrot is 32 yrs. old and this system has worked for us. He's healthy and has survived well our transplant from California to Missouri. We've lived in MO now since 2001.

I clean the space heaters carefully with a small attachment to the vacuum cleaner to remove dust. I don't open the unit. After two years I replace them for safety reasons. This Geneva unit is the latest available milk house type and it works just as I described. I recommend it and emphasize the fact that If used as recommended in the instructions, the unit is safe.

I don't ever run any heaters full bore for any length of time. Instead, I'll use two separate heaters, each with a little different setting.

By the way, I have ceiling fans, and I reverse the blades so they turn clockwise in winter. The heat then goes down. It helps.

I ALREADY OWN ANOTHER MILK HOUSE HEATER AND WHEN I WENT LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL UNITS I HAD NO LUCK. I DECIDED TO SEARCH AMAZON.COM FOR SIMILAR MODELS. RESULT:

I ORDERED FOUR OF THE MODEL IN THE TITLE AND THEY TRULY ACT LIKE LITTLE FURNACES! I ONLY WANT TO KEEP THEM ON HAND TO SUPPLEMENT HEAT IN INDIVIDUAL ROOM'S ON REALLY COLD DAYS. THIS MODEL IS APPROX THE SAME SIZE AS MY ORIGINAL, THOUGH NOT NEARLY AS SUBSTANTIAL IN WEIGHT. THIS BIT OF A DIFFERENCE REALLY DOESN'T CONCERN ME BECAUSE AT NO TIME WILL THESE MODELS BE ON HAZARDOUS DUTY. THE PRICE ALSO CUSHIONED ANY CONCERNS I MIGHT HAVE HAD. MY FIRST HEATER COST ME NEARLY THREE AND A HALF TIMES WHAT EACH OF THESE HEATERS COST ME. NOTE: THEY BOTH HAVE SIMILAR SAFETY FEATURES.
