worked great - until the waranty expired I got this heater a year ago at Ace for about $40. I liked the thermostat, high and low settings, and the additional fan setting (to use in the summer or just when I want a bit of white noise at night to drown out the neighbors). The heater worked great for a year, and then died after smelling of smoke. The 1 year warranty is just recently expired. The customer service reps haven't bothered to respond to my e-mail. I know that at $40 this isn't the most expensive heater on the market, but I expect it to last longer than a year at light to moderate use. I replaced it with a different brand. Pelonis HF-0019 heater does not turn off properly! A friend gave me one of these small space heaters to help heat my drafty old apartment, but it does not turn off properly. I have to unplug it in order to turn it off! I emailed Pelonis customer service twice about this issue and they never bothered to respond. I do not recommend it because it does not turn off in a safe manner and Pelonis obviously has poor customer service. Best small space heater I have found I bought 2 of these heaters 2 years ago at about $32 a piece. I also bought a Vornado VH2 for about $30 more. The Pelonis units have been perfect, they out perform the Vornado hands down. The themostat control works really well staying within 2 degrees of the setting. They were used in a house in upstate New York in 2 bedrooms with no other heat source and are able to maintain 68 easily. I highly recommend them and will purchase another 2.
