April 1, 2017
I have had this heater for over 2 years and it is great. I have read that others have had problems with the unit shutting off and I found out the solution, when the units dish becomes a little dusty I took off the metal front and wiped the inside of the dish clean with a damp cloth and put the metal front back on (3 screws) and it works just fine. It has that safety feature shut off for a reason. Great Buy.
Great mobile solution
March 8, 2017
LOVE this fan/heat and the ability to take it wherever I need heat in house.
Great little heater
February 10, 2017
This think is awesome, I love how it comes with a remote that will control all functions on this heater. I use this in my garage and let me tell you this thing makes a difference. I can feel the heat from it even though its a good 5-7 ft from where I sit. it has a safety feature built in to the base to where if it is picked up or knocked over it will shut off automatically. All of the rings heat up and the operation is silent.
Works as Posted, Oscillation is great
December 9, 2016
Very happy with this. We understand the limits of it but the heat is good and the ability to oscillate is very good.
Wonderful heater but not recommended for households with small children.
December 4, 2016
This heater gives a radiant heat that you can feel from 8 to 10 feet away. The remote control is nice as you can cut it back to low or shut it off once you are warmed up and then cut it back on later without leaving your seat. The tip over switch is very sensitive which is a good thing. No way I would use this if I had small children running around as they could get burned. It's not unsafe but it does require common sense to be used safely.
ahh, warmth
February 6, 2014
i really like this heater, especially at bedtime. this is a great heater if you're going to be mostly in one spot for an extended period of time. i really like that it has a timer on it, too, so that i can save some energy by having it shut off after a few hours when i'm already warm, toasty, and asleep. i also put it on in my bedroom after i get out of the shower while i'm getting dressed and it makes the experience much less painful (my apartment is very cold).my cat really likes it, too. must be the next best thing to lying in a warm sunny spot for her.

Heats well.
April 28, 2017
Heats well. The remote is kind of lame. Needs to be sitting on a flat, smooth, hard surface to work.
Not for bathroom use.
February 1, 2017
The description on Amazon does not say that this is not for use in a bathroom, however the instructions that came with it do. I wanted this item so I could heat up bathroom before taking a shower and it did not work on the outlet. Keep this in mind if that's what you want it for. Giving it a good rating because I don't think it's fair to give a poor one as I wasn't able to test it.
Everything good - good source of heat
January 9, 2017
Everything good - good source of heat, attractive, easy to operate. Only one complaint: The heater "tilts", so that it can be adjusted to point up/down at different angles. However, it is always pointing at least slightly "up". It cannot be set to point down, or straight forward.

October 5, 2016
The heater works fine it's like it should and everything works but when you put it on oscillate it seems to make a whirring motor sound. Not too loud but still it's there and I don't think that it should be. I understand that it's on a warranty so I'm not sending it back now instead I'll wait and see. But if it gets worse I'll probably see about sending it back

December 14, 2015
I was disappointed with the one I bought somewhere else like another person mentioned in their comments from a large member type store. Once I saw this I decided to try this and it is better as you can angle it better. It also has the added bonus of being able to set a timer so as it will turn off after a certain amount of time, the other one didn't have this option. Overall I think it pumps out a little less heat but because you can angle it down further it doesn't requite you to stand on tips toes and raise your hands above your head to feel anything.
Overall, good purchase
December 18, 2013
This is a great heater that provides targeted heat when you don't want to heat up your entire house. I use it every day when I work from home and it makes the area so much more comfortable. The oscillating function and remote control are nice bonuses from the last space heater that I replaced. This way when the heat is starting to burn one area or the heater wasn't facing the right way, you don't have to get back up to tweak it just a little bit. The only slight downside of this heater (which is actually a safety feature) is that it is super sensitive to turning off if it is tipped over. If you pick up and move the heater, it thinks it's being tipped over, or if you have a half the heater on an area rug and half on the carpeting, it won't turn on because it thinks its being tipped over.

I needed more tilt...
May 31, 2017
I needed this to tilt down toward the floor (for special reasons). The plastic is molded so that this is impossible. It heats fine and for most uses would be great as a radiant heater. It just did not work for my intended purpose because the tilt has a very narrow tilting range.

January 3, 2017
Gets nice and warm if your'e sitting close by but the tilting angle is severely limited to tilt upwards and I can't even get to a 90 degree front facing position for use on a coffee table or counter height. It works good if your use case allows for it to be on the floor since the heat is highly directional and you can tilt it upwards to warm not just your feet.
Warm & quiet
December 23, 2016
Plus - Quiet and warmMinus - not so well made - plasticy - so it's not a bad photo. It's is accurate.
Didn't put out heat as expected.
February 28, 2016
Didn't put out heat as expected. The picture shows an orange glow across the whole heater but I saw only a small orange glow. Maybe I got a defective heater.

July 2, 2014
I had one before and it died. I ordered a new one and this one only half worked. Meaning only part of the coils would heat up. So I asked for an exchange and the new one finally came and it works great. Not in use at the current time as it is summer. I would recommend this item, gladly.
Good heater if it works
May 14, 2014
I have to give this heater 3 because it quit working after three and half months . Amazon gives it a three mth warranty so i had to send it to the Mfg . It was not worth it i had to pay to send it to the west coast and i live on the east coast i also had to send a check for around 20.00 to return the heater back to me. That was more the half the cost of the heater. If its works its a good heater.

Don't do it!
March 23, 2017
The heater worked great when it worked. But then the warning light suddenly came on one day and that was the end of that. This happened within the 1-year warranty period, so I shipped it back to the manufacturer in Anaheim, CA ($54 shipping which they didn't cover, with a required $24 check enclosed for return shipping--which was altogether more than I paid for the heater in the first place). Weeks tick by, repeated phone calls., "We're out of stock"…"We have no record of you"…. God only knows if I'll ever get it back. I wouldn't buy this heater again. Presto makes a great Heat Dish which we've had for years. That's what I'd order if they sell it on Amazon.

January 10, 2017
This heater was purchased as a gift for my parents and they gave it back to me. It does not heat well at all. Might be ok for a very small room 10x10?, but other than that it does not produce enough heat to make anyone warm. Prefer the Presto model we replaced it with from Costco
I would recommend the Costco one at the same price
January 6, 2016
Not that powerful after getting it yesterday. I am comparing this one to the Costco one for the same price. The Costo one really had powerful heat output. This one was about 1/2 output and has a very limited reach. I would recommend the Costco one at the same price.
Would be great, if it worked right...
January 4, 2016
Well I loved this heater & it's features! Until it got where it wouldn't turn on with the remote & then shutting itself off for no apparent reason. At first, I couldn't figure out what was going on & thought it was temperamental...then it stopped working at all. So I returned it & got a replacement. I just received this Saturday evening & by Monday morning, it was doing the same things & shutting itself off again immediately after being turned on. What gives!?
Optimus not Optimal
March 28, 2015
I bought this heat dish hoping it would be like my family's Presto Heat Dish, which puts out a lot of heat. In looking at the wattage, this one is better at 1200 watts, however it puts out 1/2 less heat on the highest setting. When sitting a foot away from the Presto, you can't stand near it due to it being so hot. This one seems like the inner coils aren't heating up to full capacity. Unfortunately, I missed my window to return this. I highly advise people to pay the extra $20 or so and get the Presto. You won't be disappointed as I am right now. Insert sad face.
Not recommended
February 2, 2015
Initially, these are a nice heater. The problems unfold shortly though, as they fail & require repairs in a very short time. I had to contact the company & return two of them, & then found out how to fix them myself at home. Used three of them for about four years, while we were without a furnace, & managed to heat four rooms acceptably after some home repairs. After two years the oscillating motor & gear set got very noisy on two of the heaters.

You'll likely regret buying this heater.
April 22, 2017
It's a great heater when it works, but like so many other reviewers, mine shuts itself off constantly because it's overheating or thinks it is. Either way, it's a major design flaw. I've only had it for 6 months, but the return policy is useless. Any replacement heater would probably have the same flaw, so I basically threw money away. It's a bummer. I love this heater when it works.
Glad I got the extended coverage
December 29, 2016
We bought this heater in September, just getting ready for winter, we have a wood stove so just need to knock the chill off while we get the fire started. Many days we didn't us it at all. Then it started going off, with a message that it was overheating. Glad I got the extended coverage...they don't back these items for very long.
It had been recommended by a friend
March 7, 2016
Think the unit I received is defective. Need to return it. It had been recommended by a friend, but this unit cannot be even felt 3 feet away on HIGH.
Would Not Buy Again
January 11, 2016
Stopped working after using it 3 to 4 times. Very Very Disappointed......
best design/function of portable heater avail
March 20, 2015
stopped working in 3 days. but originally, the function/design features were excellant espec. the remote control. examined the item base, used YOUTUBE for repair ideas, nothing worked. best design/function of portable heater avail. wish there was a repair kit
Not working after only 2 months!
November 21, 2014
This product stopped working after only 2 months! I was happy with it up until then and at this point, I'm not sure what I am going to do about it. I could return it to the manufacturer and pay shipping and handling both ways, but that will cost almost as much as I paid for it. I'm very disappointed with this product.
