Space Heater Portable Heater for office 1200W PTC Ceramic High Output heater Fan for Bedroom Home Office Desk

I have mixed feelings about this tiny heater. On the one hand, it's very affordable, space-saving for sure and kinda cute (my daughtet loves it lol), it does heat up crazy fast and the fan circulates that heat quickly in a small room. It's steady and quiet, and I like the safety button on the bottom (if the heater is tipped it triggers it to turn off). I also like its simplicity (there's on/off and low/high). And ceramic heaters are generally considered reasonably affordable for spot heating "because they are energy-efficient and heat rooms quickly, using a fan to distribute the heat". But here's where the other hand begins, I don't see any info on how much electricity this littke bad boy actually uses. And it's light, very light, mostly plastic, that concerns me in a heater. And I could get around that if I had confidence in the company but I don't know this company, can't find anything about them, and the tiny manual they enclosed with this heater reads oddly, including telling me to "not barbeque on the heater". Whhhat? Oh that's a deal breaker. Kidding aside, the product manual left me with far less confidence. So we're using it on a trial basis in a basrment workout room that is getting too chilly as the weather changes, and only when we're there to watch it. I'll be watching my electric bill along with the plastic, I'll report back any negative issues. If it works safely and efficiently and quickly, consistently, I'll up my rating. For a tiny twenty dollar heater that would be truly impressive. Read more

This is a powerful little heater that does a decent job heating. On the back of the heater is the "off / on low / on high" three-way switch. The low and high settings are for the temperature. Underneath the unit is a safety switch and if the unit is lifted or topples over, the unit turns itself off. The unit is just under 7 inches tall, just over 6 inches wide, and just over 4 inches deep - so it is rather compact. I took three temperature readings to check the heaters ability: room temp (the heater sat unused overnight), on low after just a few seconds at 171.7*, and on high after a few more seconds at 191.7* (the temps may get even higher if the unit is left on longer). The fan has one speed. As mentioned above, the low and high settings are for the temp, not the fan speed. The Sound Meter on my phone showed the room ambient noise at 30.9 dB, with the low and high setting producing noise at ~56.0 dB (quiet office). In the instructions, I happen to notice that bullet 4 reads: "Press the temperature gear switch and adjustment: '0' is the power off key, 'I' is thewarm [sic] air gear and'II' [sic] is the hot air geal [sic]." Overall, I would recommend this heater. Read more
