I really like this heater, low wattage 350Thks

very portable and functions perfectly. It is very strong and warms a room quickly. It doesn't leave a smell and doesn't use a bunch of power.

Few things. To fix the 12-hour shut off or to use a WiFi controlled outlet. You need this. (luckily I had 4 spares)https://www.homedepot.com/p/Suncourt-Ductstat-Plug-In-Thermostat-Temperature-Sensitive-Switch-DS100/100028788Explanation at bottomPros- Heavy weight durable construction- Swivel plug for upside down use- Makes a good amount of heat- Is fairly quiet for a heater (heatproof fan bearings that are cheap typically are loud. These arent that loud because its a small 80mm fan)Cons- It has sort of a plastic smell, But both my other infrared fireplaces had that for the first few days so im almost sure it will go away- Apparently after 12 hours it just shuts off, I just unwrapped mine so I havent had this happen, if it does its a con- When you shut it off then back on the thermostat goes to 90 degrees F (work around for this if you want to use it remotely, is to not care about the 90 degree F on the thermostat and buy a 20$ ductstat from home depot.)you plug anything into it below 5 amps and set the dial thermostat to whats comfortable, it will turn off power to this heater when its warm enough, then kick it back on when its cooling back down. All you need to do is leave the red power switch for the heater on. It wont matter that this heaters thermostat is set to 90 when turned on because your plugin DuctStat from home depot will kill power when the space reaches the temp you dialed. Only way to know what temp you're setting on the dial is to have a thermometer in the room and turn the dial til it clicks thats what temp it will kick on/off at. Then if you wanna use a Wifi outlet for the plugin thermostat from home depot you can without worry of fire. It will also work if you are annoyed by the pesky 12 hour shut off and still wanna utilize the 350w heater for its power savings.I bought 2 of these cause I have a super small 2 bedroom home 580sq ft. I use a 1250w-High/850w-Low Infrared fire place and a radiator style heater on 600w setting to heat my entire home. I usually run 1850w's to heat my home. With 1 of these in my bathroom, and one in my bedroom I can be sure my pipes wont freeze in my bathroom and neighboring kitchen, and on the other side of the house shut my bedroom door and use the other to keep me warm at night. Zone controlled heating for 800w! Cant beat that. Its 26 degrees F outside in Detroit today, I'll for sure have to supplement with one of my other heaters but this will still save me money.

It only puts out 75W on full power. Also, mine will only show degrees C, not F. The fan is pretty loud for how little air it moves.Update: Changed from 1 star to 2 stars.I gave this another shot. It's not as bad as the above sounds--true as it is. There's just more to the story. But first, it's also worse. The "timer" button only seems to do the exact thing that the "speed" button does--switch the fan speed between high an low. Low fan speed isn't quiet, but it's tolerable for how close you are going to need to be to this thing for it to warm you. High fan speed is obnoxiously loud. But you should just avoid high fan speed, because of the power-draw quirk of this heater.The quirk is this:Under the right circumstances, the heater will slowly draw more and more power (about a Watt every 5 seconds or so), up to about 250W. Then it cuts power to the heating element for about 5 seconds, dropping the power draw to anywhere between 100-200W, at which point it starts slowly increasing toward 250W again.But all of that is "under the right circumstances." And what are those? Well, you seem to have to get it up past 100W or so to get it to start claiming. Otherwise it seems to level out at 75W and be happy there. To get it over the hump, I have to restrict the inlet airflow a bit. This lets the heating element get hotter which seems to increase the electrical resistance in the element and make it get hotter and hotter. Getting it over 100W was the key with an ambient temp of 75F. It may require more airflow restriction with lower ambient temps--which is of course the normal usage pattern.

Had one before for years. Plugged this one in and it smelled like it was burning and rattling. Must have come from the delivery service in that condition. Amazon is sending another. Threw the other away.,could be dangerous. Thank you.

We bought two. One worked well; the other, not at all.

This small heater works really good for the camper. I bought it to plug in but my plug was a little low in my teardrop so I decided to mount it up a bit higher and use a 3 foot 10amp ( 16 GA) extension cord. I tested the unit and it pulls under 4 amps on high speed then drops to under 1 amp when only the fan is blowing. The controls are easy to use. My camper is only 15X7 and it heats it up very quickly. The heater is very lightweight. I bought a second heater to keep as a spare in case I ever have a problem with this one but it seems very well built. I read the negative reviews but this is not designed to be a large space heater as your normal plug in units. This is for a single small room or for a small RV it is perfect. Even as a small heater for a bedroom where you want a little more heat this thing would be perfect with the door closed. It gets hot in the very front where the metal grill is but the sides and back and top do not get hot at all. The unit pulls air flow from the bottom thus it is designed to plug directly into the wall. Also the plug in the back rotates in case your outlet is upside down or sideways, the heater could still be positioned vertically.
