I really liked it at first. It's nice looking, and has rollers. It was ideal for fall heating, and as a supplement to the furnace in really cold weather. I am using my furnace way less. It has added bonuses of a timer delay start (so can have it go on shortly before I get up) and a timer delay off.
However one week short of having had it 3 months (and not in the dead of winter, though we had a cool autumn) it suddenly turned off. I cleaned the filter and thought I'd be all set, but no. It will run for a while and then turn off. So I'm back to using my mini heaters, and am waiting to hear from the manufacturer.
Update as of 1/8/13: Forget about warranty protection. The manufacturer is impossible to get in touch with.
It should also be noted that the description provided here is incorrectno, you cannot plug it into any 120V outlet.. it needs it's own 15 amp circuit. You might have several outlets that are on the same circuit. There is only one place downstairs in my house where I can give it it's own circuit, so this is something to check out before you buy.
Update as of 1/10/13: After filing a claim with Amazon that was just denied (as it was a third party seller) I finally received a call back from the manufacturer, and they said they will ship me parts so I can fix myself! (The unit itself says: "Caution: Do not open. No user-serviceable parts inside".) I'm not optimistic but that's the update, and I am shopping for a new little heater..like the Lasko or DeLonghi. I'm sad this one didn't work out; I really liked it for 2 1/2 months!

Works great and very quite. Looks great and safe. Really helps for that corner room that need an extra help for heat. If you live in a mild climate area this might be all you need. Love it.Best Deals on Lifesmart LSPP1500-6HOM 1500 Watt Infrared Quartz Heater 6 Element
We have a sizable room and attached kitchen where we spend most of our time. This unit keeps the rooms at a level temp even with the patio door opening and closing several times a day. It is very quiet and just sits there doing its job.Honest reviews on Lifesmart LSPP1500-6HOM 1500 Watt Infrared Quartz Heater 6 Element
Nice looking and controlled warm air booster.Keeps a room comfortable during cold weather.
Easy to roll from one spot to the next.
A little noisy during sleep if you hone in on it.
