Must be a lot of lemons in the bunch Bought this heater at my local hardware store before reading these reviews. Sounds like they either work or they don't. My didn't. I brought it home, took it out to the garage (about 35º F out there today), plugged it in and waited about an hour to see if it would warm up. Despite being on the highest setting and having the thermostat on it cranked, the heater barely put out any heat. It was level and stable, but the only heat I could feel from it was from about two inches away, and that felt like a hair dryer on the lowest setting (and that's being generous). I returned it. I'm sure some of these heaters really get the job done, but I can't imagine that mine was functioning properly, and it sounds like a common problem. Light came on, fan whirred away (a little) but barely any heat came out. My halogen work light put out more heat at three feet away. Find another heater. Works great--until it doesn't I was so happy with this heater, at first. It had good heat output, was incredibly quiet, and produced no chemical odor after a couple hours of use. However, within two weeks, it stopped working. Even the fan won't come on. The only sign of life is the indicator light. Sigh. Best electric heater This is the best inexpensive electric heater, first, you can select 600 Watts, 900 Watts, or 1500 Watts to warm up the room quickly. Once the room warms up you can select 600 watts which is very economical. Finally, it has a metal case. Metal will not burn or melt as the plastic heaters do. For some reason people seem to think that ceramic is best, however, the ceramic heaters are housed in a plastic case. If the fan stops running while the heater is turned on, then the heater will seriously overheat. These heater depend on a thermostatic fuse to turn off the power when serious overheating occurs. With a metal case you can be assured that the case is not going to melt or burn up. Larry
