Bask in instant penetrating heat with this large floor heater. Thanks to its patented MaxFlow fan system, the heater radiates immediate warmth without causing a draft, and because the case is slightly angled back, the heat is projected up and outward to warm an entire room. Two quartz elements glow red, alerting users that the front grill is hot and should not be touched. The heater can be set to low power (750 watts) or high (1500 watts), and the thermostat adjusted to a personal comfort level. At lower settings, the heater will cycle on and off to maintain the desired temperature. If accidentally knocked over or if overheating occurs, the heater instantly turns off. Despite measuring a generous 23 by 12 by 9 inches, the heater is lightweight and easily carried by one hand. Holmes covers this heater with a 6-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
Great for small spaces, but noisy This unit does a good job heating up my small office (measuring about 10'x12') rather quickly, and its thermal control keeps the room in a comfortable temperature by turning the unit on and off automatically. The unit radiates heat over a pretty large area (with a small fan helping push the hot air out front). This means that it probably will do a good job keeping you warm in a larger space as well, as long as it's placed closeby. My only complaint is the noise. The unit makes a rather loud rattling noise when its heating elements turn on, which lasts about 10-15 seconds. The fan is reasonably quiet in the low setting, but can be distracting when on high. I certainly wouldn't put one of these in the bedroom. I only buy radiant heaters I have this radiant heater and 2 similar models. They are all noisy for about 15 seconds when they turn on. I suggest running it on low in small rooms so it does not cycle on and off. I buy this type of heater for 2 reasons. 1. I find that forced air heaters dry out the air, which irritates by allergies. 2. The biggest reason is that my cats LOVE laying in front of these heaters for hours. The heater gives off a glow which feels like you are sitting in the sun. I have been using them for years without any safety issues, just use common sense. Warm Heat Quickly This heater does a great job. One of the advantages of thisheater, the coils are built into the heater at an angle sothe floor does not get hot. Very durable.
