I am amazed at how efficiently this heater operates. We have it placed in our living room and run it on the low 400 watt setting for about an hour or two in the evening when the temps drop below 40 and it does a better job than our 1500 watt electric baseboard heater does running double that time. This will make a big difference in our energy cost bottom line. Very quiet too! Big Thumbs up!

In terms of heat output, this is a great appliance. I live in California where central heating is not normal, but where it still gets cold in the evenings, especially during the winter months. I picked this heater up at a Black Friday special and I wasn't expecting a lot from it, but was pleasantly surprised. Even on the low heat setting, its output is sufficient to keep my room toasty. Now, for the caution, and reason for a two-star rating:

The safety switch on the bottom is flaky, at best; sometimes it works, but more often it sticks and won't shut off the heater. One night, a pillow fell from my bed and landed on the heater, leaving the heater partially tilted (and in such a position that it would have shut off had the safety switch been working properly). My pillow burned on a slow smolder, filling my entire bedroom with a very thick, very dangerous black smoke that would have killed me if the alarm hadn't gone off when it did. Also, it burned long enough that the plastic frame holding in the metal grate on the heater's front has partially melted.

So, if you're going to use this heater, do not leave it running while you're sleeping or otherwise not attending it. Make sure it has a HUGE clearance on all sides. And definitely, do NOT expect that the safety switch will work.

I purchased this heater for a medium size bedroom. It works great on the high setting and heats the room up very fast. Once the room heats up the low setting maintains the warmth. I love the oscillating feature because it distributes the heat more evenly. The heat replicates the sun rays and is good for me because I suffer from seasonal affective disorder. Living in the northern states during the winter with the lack of sun is depressing but this heater makes me feel like I basking in the sun. I have noticed that my two cats love the sun-like warmth of the heater. They like to sleep and groom near it. Again a good heater for the price. I have purchased higher priced heaters and was not as pleased as I am with this one.

Honest reviews on Soleus Air HR3-08-21, Oscillating Reflective Heater, Black

Heater is very lightweight, as in thin plastic.

I use an under-desk heater year round, and this has saved me quite a bit in electricity bills. The low and high settings make it usable for under-desk, although it is pretty overkill.

Unit is about 2.5 feet tall, so keep that in mind.

On high with oscillation, it can easily heat a very large room.

Have owned it for 5 months now with no issues.
