Side by Side Comparison of: Smart for Life

Living in a small, stick-built old cottage on a lake, I'm always looking for useful products that fit my budget, are useful and add to the ambiance! This lovely, quiet heater is just the ticket! The living and dining area are one large room, 12 x 27 in area, and this heater quietly and charmingly keeps it warm and keeps my propane bill down. The remote is a nice feature. I would suggest setting this up a bit higher off the floor; I used a large cedar window box turned upside down for this purpose, but you could set it on decorative blocks or a low shelf instead.

Excellent and unreal how much heat it blows out.I have a big basement and a garage. I put it in my garage in dead of winter while working on my bike and I usually have to shut it off after an hour. The wheels are great. When I'm done I push it rt back into finished side of basement and it's great!Not too loud at all and it is silent if you are just using the flames. My dogs love it! 3 of my friends have exact model. I looked for 3 months so trust me if you can get it under $200 grab it!

I love this fireplace!!! Adds ton of ambiance to our living room!

Had just moved into my home and froze in the den (15 x 13) with open doorways -- this is now the favorite room in the house. Super efficient and looks amazingly real. A great buy, you will not regret this purchase. Very quiet, cool to the touch, my yorkie thinks it is a real fireplace and I had to move her little bed to in front of the unit.

I did a lot of research and read many reviews. I was really glad that I ended up buying this one. The cabinet is very nice (though small - I had a friend make a wooden base for it to raise it up) and the "fire" is fairly realistic-looking. I like the fact that it has a remote and you can view the flames without using the heating part of it. You can set the thermostat for whatever temperature you want and the heat cuts off when it reaches that temp. Nice for looks AND nice for space-heating. A good value.

This was a great buy - don't believe that this product is not in stock - I ordered it when it was supposedly not in stock and it shipped the next day - I ordered it on 1/6/2013 and it arrived on my doorstep on 1/9/2013 (and the shipping was free from Amazon - which is nothing short of incredible since the shipping weight is 68 pounds!!!). The flames are extremely realistic and the only part that gets hot is the little grill in front where the heat comes out. I have had mine running for 6 hours straight and the back didn't even get hot. I can keep my house thermostat at 62 and still be toasty warm in my living room when this is running. This is one of the best products I have ever gotten - I am thrilled with it. It looks beautiful when it's on and the heat is great. The only negative comment I have is that the picture does not match the item's color - the actual item has wood that is much darker than what is pictured.

These things here are amazing. I used to live in New York and my house was really terribly insulated and always cold and my bills were ridiculous. I bought these things and between 2 of these they heated up my over 1000 square foot house and kept it warm. Then when i moved to Florida I left these to my brother and he told me hour much they helped his bills and how much they helped during the winter.

We ordered these for my daughters bedroom during these colder months and it heats their rooms quite nicely. I love the look of these as it gives off a unique look because they have the brown wood look to them. The Heaters can be controlled by the remotes they come with or on the front of the heater, my favorite feature is the off button on the back of these. although they are plugged in, you can shut the entire heater off from the button in the back. But thats npt the only off button, theres one on the front as well ..... we just dont tell the girls about the one in the back, I like to switch that button when its not in use, then the kids cant play with the control buttons in the front. Puts off some good heat which is the important part. very happy happy with this purchase.

Have been using these. What an awesome purchase! My room is 13'x27' and one of these keeps the whole room toasty at 72°f. We have had another brand and the cord gets wicked hot. No such problem with these. Excellent buy!

Update 2-13-17 These heaters are still working exceptionally. We totally made the right choice picking these heaters.I can not express just how much we love these heaters. I just wanted to start out with that for the people just skimming the comments. Now, I will get started with the review.We heard wonderful things about Edenpure heaters, and they are excellent little heaters, so we purchased one.So, bring us around to the following winter. We wanted more heaters, but didn't really have the money for the Edenpure. After doing a bit of research, I found these. Great price, comparable BTU's, so I gave them a shot. 2 for less than the price of one Edenpure. Then we bought a little ceramic heater for the bathroom. I was skeptical, but tried it anyway.Long story short, these quickly became our favorite heaters. My absolute favorite feature is the eco setting. This sets the temp at 68, then runs in low wattage mode unless the temp gets too far below 68, then it kicks the heater into high wattage. I know this helps with the electric bill, especially when you are heating a room that you aren't occupying all the time.We don't use the remotes for them, they are small and would get lost in the clutter. We generally just turn them on and forget about them. They are cool to the touch and would be very difficult to tip over.These heaters throw off enough heat for most of the Pennsylvania winter, in an old farmhouse with little insulation. I really only turn on my oil heat for the coldest of the cold days. 10 degrees or below.Highly recommended.After having them for over a year, I noticed that the temparature setting and when it shuts off seem to be a bit off. I set it at 72, it shuts off on it's own, but the thermometers in the rooms say 68.

I bought these heaters, one to keep and one to give to my son. I love mine! It heats well, and isnt loud. and my electric bill did not go way up like i was expecting.

I had researched infrared heaters thoroughly, and all of them seemed to have one quirk or minor flaw when reviewed by purchasers. I decided to buy an infrared heater, keep my expectations low, and keep a vigilant watch on my electric bill to see if they made my meter spin faster than expected. Lifesmart's ratings were overall pretty good, and in this case the price was extremely attractive, so I made the buy. When the heaters arrived they were indeed packed 2 in a box, and were smaller at first look than I had expected. The cabinets are fine, nothing exceptional, and the fact that they are mounted on casters is a thoughtful addition for ease of moving. Both units worked fine right out of the box, and they do a very good job of what they are supposed to do - provide supplementary heat. My spouse has cold feet from October through May, and our old house does have a cold room or two, and both of these situations have been ably addressed by these heaters. She can wear slippers through the coldest evenings and keep warm feet, and the edge is taken off a cold room in fairly short order, and at an increased use of electricity that is less than I had anticipated and find more than acceptable. They do have their quirks - the thermometers are preset for 86 degrees, and you must adjust the temperature downward, which seems counter-intuitive to me. The remote control is fine, though it is a minor annoyance to discover that you must supply the AAA batteries in order to use it. The noise levels are barely noticeable, even when I am sitting next to one. Are they the heaters to end all heaters? Probably not, but then I never expected them to be. Buyer, remember: keep your expectations realistic!! They provide supplementary heat to make a room more comfortable, and if you keep this in mind, I think you'll be more than happy with these Lifesmart units. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I bought this as a gift for my mother and she likes it. It's a lot smaller than it looks and while it says that it heats 1000 square feet, it can take a few hours to heat up a large room. The flame, however, looks very realistic and it has wheels which makes it very easy to move if needed. This would be better used in a bedroom or a small enclosed room.

Works great, warms the area we needed nicely. Our only minor grumble is the sound that is made when the 'flames' are on. It's not terrible, but it can seem loud & does get on my husbands nerves after a bit, especially when the house is on the quiet side. Definitely not a deal breaker, the flames can be turned off anyway and it's a nice and affordable little fireplace heater.

This is definitely an attractive addition to our living room. It helps keep our open-floor plan home warm, though it doesn't really heat the whole space. The fan is pretty powerful and as long as you are sitting in any kind of direct line from the front of the heater, you will feel the warm air blowing on you, even from across the room. I LOVE it.The only reasons I am not giving 5 stars are minor: 1. the way the vents are situated, it is difficult to read what temperature the unit is set to without squatting down. Not that big of a deal really. The other thing is that the fan can be kind of loud. If you're watching TV or something it's not really distracting, but if I'm on a conference call on speaker phone, I basically need to turn the whole unit off in order to hear what people are saying, or else go into another room, which defeats the purpose of a space heater. That said, my hearing isn't great to begin with, so it might not matter as much to other people.

I am very happy with this purchase. We live in an old drafty house and when it was time to replace a portable heater, I thought I would give this a shot because I like that it is pretty in addition to being functional. My only real complaint is that the fan is louder than I expected. We have it in the living room, and it is loud enough that we have to adjust the TV volume when it is on. Not a deal breaker, but I wish it would be more quiet. The flames are very nice. We leave them on all the time. I've seen other fireplaces when I've been out that cost far more and don't look nearly as nice. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Looks great! It is small. I like the wood paneling around it. It is a nice brown stained wood color. Mine arrived broken, but I believe that to be the work of UPS. When the box arrived it looked like it had been kicked down a football field.As far as heat goes, it can really put out some heat. I love it.In the dark the fire place gives off a nice ombionce. In the daylight the logs look fake.Overall 4 out of 5.Once winter gets here I'll post about its performance during the ice storms.

Sometimes the fireplace makes a ticking noise that's annoying when you're trying to sleep, but sometimes it doesn't so I can't figure out what's going on. Other than that, I love this fireplace. It's so pretty to look at and it heats very well. I have it in my bedroom and it keeps me warm and toasty all night. You can set it to different temps and it'll turn itself off when that temp is reached and then on when the room temp goes below what you set it for. It's so much more economical than leaving our central heat on all night, heating rooms that don't need it. I have one in my living room too. You can't go wrong with this adorable and functional little fireplace.

I've used these for a year now. They're not super quiet, the fan makes a little noise when it turns on. But it's quiet enough and the sound is easy to get used to. The units I received also looked slightly different than the ones pictured - though I think they look better. Heat is moderate, but can keep a large room warm constantly when used with my forced air heater. My old 1928 house has no insulation and these help keep it just right.

Overall very happy with purchase of our 2 heaters. Temp has dropped to 40 outside but we stay warm inside. Humming does not bother us as described by others as being loud. I like that we can move them to different rooms or use in one room facing different directions. Did not notice overwhelming smell when they are on.Con. If both heaters start on high they trip my breakers (less one star). We must start them on low or eco and leave alone. Good part is they warm the house or rooms quickly on these settings no need to use on high yet nor has my furnace been turned on for the season.

Update 11/27/15 it has been 32 here and 3 of these set to 68 are keeping it at 71 degrees in our oversized Condo. We have new windows and doors, but even my dad says his does a good job in his old cottage.Heat Pumps are the dinosaur version of heat. When a hvac company wanted to charge us 1500.00 to find a freon leak other wise emergency heat charged us 300.00 a month, we got infared heaters! Tiny units, but in seconds you can feel the heat cover our over sized bedroom. At half the cost of electricity and covering the space of the room with heat rather then the walls and ceiling, along with them being a cool to the touch unit it was no contest. We did research other types of heat like ceramic, electric, gas and these still got the best ratings, cost the least and worked the best!

Good quality and much cheaper than the Amish version. We've had one of those that cost more than both these and didn't heat as well. If you're up north, might not work for you, but in Alabama where temps are rarely in the 20's it works great actually gets the room too hot!

Great for supplemental heating! I have one concern with the product that I think should be advertised. It is that in the instruction/user guide it emphasizes in multiple places, in bold, and in capital letters that these heaters need to be plugged into an outlet that has it's OWN INDIVIDUAL 15 AMP (OR MORE) CIRCUIT! And that's not an easily accomplished task, at least in my older home. I don't have many outlets that have their own circuit and the two that do, aren't in the area where I want to use the heater. So, that's an issue. I'm currently using mine in an area where there are only overhead lights and one other outlet (with nothing plugged into it) on the circuit and it seems to be working fine. Also, you cannot plug anything else into the same outlet. Just FYI, for future buyers!

The units seem to be well built. I would say the the SF area that each is rated for (1,200) is grossly exaggerated. But, I believe that all of the various manufactures area heating claims are unrealistic.I put one of these heaters in a 750SF area with a ceiling height of only 7.5'. The room was about 60° to start and I let the heater crank on high for 3 or 4 hours. I don't believe it raised the temperature at all....maybe a couple degrees at the most. I then plugged the other heater in on the other side of the room, set it to high and within 2 hours the temp was rising. After the room got up to about 68°, I shut one of the heaters off and a single heater seemed to be capable of holding the tempature at about 68°.The outside temperature on this day was in the mid to upper 40's.The heaters run very well, are quite and have always been cool to the touch. I paid $200 for the two pack. There is no dought to me that these heaters are worth every penny of $100 each. Just do not expect one heater to handle a 1,200SF area. I would rate each heater in the 400-500SF range at best. I have only had the heaters for about 2 weeks....so far so good.

The unit heats well but the size advertised did not match the product. The width is actually 23 inches, not 29 inches, the height is 19 inches, not 23 inches, and the depth is 10 1/2 inches, not 11 inches. It may not make a difference when placing it next to a wall, but this unit was ordered to place in a fireplace opening measuring 30 x 24 inches, which would have worked well with the advertised dimensions of 29 x 23. The unit looks dwarfed in the large opening.

I have mixed emotions about this one. The fake fire logs are 3D realistic looking, but the fire is not. The fire is created on a 2D background. The fire kind of resembles a real fire if you don't stare at it. But I like to look at the logs which ruins the fire affect. I like it enough to keep it. The heater is good. I thought the whole thing was going to heat up when you have the heater on, but it doesn't which I'm thankful for cause I have furniture that rest within 2" of both sides of the fireplace. There's one little heat rod just inside the front vent that creates the heat and an internal fan blows the heat out.

I've used this heater regularly through the past winter to thoroughly test it out, and 'Large Room' is greatly exaggerated, even in cool temperatures (40F-50F). In a small 100 sq ft bedroom it didn't seem to heat it up any faster or efficiently than a regular electric space heater, with the fan only being marginally quieter. The fire has a realistic flicker but the flat color (which is orange with no yellow) and the dim glow even on the brightest setting was disappointing. Personally I like more glow, but if you don't like a lot of light in the room (like for sleeping) the fire gives off barely any light and isn't distracting. On the positive side, it does look great as a piece of furniture, so I keep it around as decor; but if function is more important than appearance, I suggest getting a cheaper, fireless infared space heater.

We bought this to replace a heat surge fireplace that went bad and was too expensive to repair.The Lifesmart arrived in good shape except for a small crush on one corner of the top of the cabinet [not very noticeable].The flames look as nice as the heat surge and the fireplace puts out more heat than the surge did.The only complaint is the thermostat seems to be somewhat inaccurate and does not cycle like it should-I have to bump up the temp to get the heat to come on again after it cycles off.All in all,we are happy with it and it looks nice at half the price of a heat surge.Update-We used this for 3 months and it worked fine then we stored it for the season.Now we tried to use it again during a cold spell and the unit does NOTHING.I contacted Life Zone for warranty service and they said they will replace with comparable unit-we will see!

Received in a few days. This unit is SMALL. Looks small and a tad on the cheap side, I got what I paid for and no more. It does work well, puts out heat and the remote is easy to use. You need your own AAA battteries. I wish I had measured more carefully the area it was to occupy. This unit would be good in a spare room but not living or family room. I will have to build it up somehow like another poster said. It needs a good 12" on the bottom or some kind of cabinet. Would not put TV on top of this, it's only 10 1/2" deep, 28 1/2" wide.Would not buy again but too hard to return. Will put it somewhere!

This product is not as tall as I would like. I purchased a different product a couple of years ago and loved it so much. As I started shopping the other product was no longer available so after reading reviews I select this one. It arrived fast and no damages; box was heavy 50lbs. However, once unloaded from box it's very easy to push and set up in room.Cons: Power cord short in length, remote control is very poor made "buttons stick"Pros: Heats room in minutes, easy to wheel on floor, PRICE

As advertised Doesn't heat room real quick but great for kids because they stay cool to touchUpdate- one remote stop working after a week. Took four email attempts for replacement in which wrong one was sent first. Finally received right one, which looked used. The remotes are EXTREMELY cheap almost like a child's toy, I don't expect them to last for the life of the heating unit itself. Still would recommend units to someone despite the cheap remotes and poor customer service

First off let me say they work great. They provide heat for a single room and seem to do so very well. We've been using our two units for a month or more of wet winter weather and we are happy with them. Now for the down side... Customer support is willing to do what is needed to make you happy within their power. When our units arrived we could see that one had a broken bulb/heating element. Wanting heat and not wanting to return the good one we contacted Lifesmart customer support. They quickly sent out 4 new bulbs, but for last year's model which would not fit. I contacted them again and they stated they did not have spare parts for the 2014 model so they would simply replace it with a new one. They had me cut off the cord, remove the tags and send them in. In return they sent me a brand new unit to replace the unit damaged in shipping (I should mention they were well packaged). I couldn't argue with that other than I had to dispose of the bad unit. Unfortunately they shipped me last year's model. Yes it works, yes it is similar, no it's not as good as the 2014 model. Am I happy, not exactly, but I am sufficiently satisfied as you do get two for the price of a single similar unit.

I just got this unit, yesterday, so here are my first impressions:The fan in each unit is LOUD. I was expecting something near-silent with an infrared heater, but I was wrong.The casters are very handy for moving the units.It looks classy and fits with my New England home's decor.Prime shipping still took a week because the shipping box was so large.

I bought this pair of heaters this winter. They seemed to do the trick, to help cut down on the heating bill. I life in northern New York, so you can't expect these heaters to heat 1200 sq ft like they claim, when it's below zero. I ran two at a time for 24 hours in a 1200 sq ft house and they could only keep the house at around 56 degrees when it was below zero outside.

So far, both units are still working (I was concerned about other customer comments). Of course, now that the warmer weather is here, I haven't been using them. As far as 1200 square foot coverage, that seems to be a stretch. It nicely warms about half that amount of space quickly (with a door shut). Otherwise, even with the temperature increased, it only seems to cover a local area. My electric bill didn't seem affected whatsoever, so that was great.

I purchased these heaters to help cut down on our propane use since our propane bills are killing us. Well, they cut down on the propane bill, but more than doubled my electric bill! If you are purchasing these as a heat supplement I would not recommend them. We have both units in our kitchen/dining area which is approximately 600 sq ft and they will heat this area up nicely while they are running nonstop, they by no means heat 1200 sq ft. I am giving them 3 stars because they will make an average size room cozy, however they will also make your electric bill scary.

This showed up at my door completely beat up. There are scuffs all over one side of it, and I even found a piece of the wood at the bottom of the box. It also had no remote with it. I contacted LifeSmart to let them know and received an email back that they basically didn't care. I would recommend buying from a different company. Rated 2 stars because the flame looks nice, otherwise, it is garbage.

The box it came in had such big holes in it you could see the fireplace, and the wood on the top front has four big dents in it. I stained the dents to cover them up as much as possible, it is just too big to return.Jay

This came with some minor damage to the wood which I would have overlooked, but this unit just does not heat the way described. It was nice to look at but did not "heat" the living room in which it was placed. (15 x 18). Disappointed b./c the "fire" was pretty to have in the room, although much smaller than I imagined, but the dimensions were clearly listed. The seller did agree to a return without any hassle.

Does not heat the amount of space specified in the description. It heats a 400 sq ft room but I would not recommend it for larger rooms in chilly weather. Outside temperatures have been ranging between 30 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit. I have the heater placed in my living room near my thermostat. The furnace in my small duplex (850 sq ft) is very inefficient to run so I bought this portable heater to supplement it. I am disappointed that this portable heater doesn't help maintain the temperature even with the assistance of my home furnace. If I take the heater into my bedroom and shut the door, it works fine, but the portable heater is ineffective in any room larger than that. Also, the heater's thermostat is not accurate because it will not turn on when it's set for a specific temperature. For example, when it is set at 68 degrees, it won't turn on until it's 64 degrees in the house.

I was looking forward to receiving this electric fireplace. I recently moved into an older home on the northern California coast... the first time I have owned a home that used propane, so I wanted a way to not have to run my heater all the time during this cold time of year. (Why this home didn't have a fireplace or wood-burning stove puzzles me. Eventually, I'll have one installed.) In the meantime I thought the LARGE ROOM Infrared Quartz Fireplace would do the job. It arrived quickly, and I loved the woodwork and look of the unit. The fire and logs looked good enough. I read through the information and instructions provided (Yes. I'm one of those.) This unit is very easy to understand and use. Unfortunately, it just didn't heat my living room, as promised. I used it for several days (per instructions), giving it a chance to redeem itself - and hopefully, give me a reason to keep it. When I found myself (dressed in layers, as usual) trying to push myself deeper into the sofa, and shoving my feet under the dog in an attempt to stave off shivering, while sitting just a few feet from the infrared unit (which was on), I knew I just had to send it back. I took a small Stanley space heater I had been using in my bedroom. Sat it next to the Lifesmart (box says Life Zone) unit (which I turned off), turned on (the Stanley) and within several minutes, the chill was out of the air. That was my expectation. Just keep the chill down enough to keep me from having to put on a puffy coat, and the home heating unit from coming on so often. I think I'll check to see if Stanley makes an electric fireplace or wood burning stove.

I usually adore Amazon and have perfectly fine experiences with the sellers, so when it came to making a large and expensive purchase, I was less apprehensive than I normally would be. This fireplace has potential. As it works when I plug it in and turn it on, but that is not all that matters with a $200-$300 piece. For the cost, it was poorly constructed. It arrived three days later than promised, and is noticeably very damaged. I don't know if the damage occurred during shipping, or if it was sent out this way. The poor and hasty construction may be an indicator of poor quality control, so it is perfectly possible that it was sent out damaged. Who knows, but I am disappointed. For the cost I know I should send it back and demand a replacement, but what a headache, and it will cost me to send it back! Or I can put even more time and money into trying to repair it. This is such a shame. I aim to update this and attach pictures of the damage as well.

I bought these Lifesmart zone heating 2 pack heaters a year and a half ago then I was looking for two more heaters and my Amazon account said you bought these before do you want to buy them again, so I said great they (the Amazon website) remembered what I bought I reordered them and they were from Lifesmart but were different (the controls and LED lights) I thought maybe a new and approved model.I plugged one unit in my room and everything was great set the timer for 11 hours at 68 degrees closed my bedroom door came back at bed time the room was perfect 68 degrees went to sleep and the unit went on when the temperature dropped below the setting 68 degrees and BAM I WOKE UP TO A BLOWER MAKING SO MUCH NOISE. I didn't fall back asleep until the Lifesmart thermostat reached 68 degrees then BAM THAT BLOWER NOISE AGAIN. I had to get up and turn the unit off. This unit is VERY LOUD. Note: I gave the two older Lifesmart heaters to my Family for there home, they were much quieter.I will not recommend this product for anyone using them during the night / day when sleep is needed.I will however recommend this product if the blower noise is not a issue because the thermostat works great and the units quality is Good.

These heaters look cool, but they're bulky, loud, and don't heat as well as the radiator style space heaters. I also haven't noticed any difference in my power use (or bill) from using the radiator style. Radiators are a third of the price. Save yourself the cash.

Both were functioning correctly with no problems, just not what they were advertised to be. Supposed to heat up to 1000sq ft but took 1hr to raise temp 1 degree in a 400 sq ft area and still felt chilly...the icing on the cake= having to pay for return shipping and so not completely refunded.

We bought this last winter and were disappointed with the heat produced. It wasn't bad on the electric bill, though. However, one of them broke I'm just a couple of months, and we are STILL trying to get them to fix it after almost a year.

We bought these about a year ago. They worked as well as could be expected as supplemental room heaters, but there were issues. First they emit a very loud, annoying beep when turned on or off. A query to the manufacturer confirmed that could not be disabled. One of the heaters squeals persistently during the first few minutes of operation; the other heater gave a loud, electrical "snap" before it died yesterday altogether. We'll have to junk them both and find a more dependable replacement.

I received these heaters and read the directions on how to set them up. Plugged the first one in and white plastic burning smoke poured out of it. Then had to open the windows to get rid of the smell, making the house even colder.I sent them both back without even plugging the second one in. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

The first one I received had a cracked cabinet and only half of the logs were lit. I received a replacement yesterday and the cabinet was busted worse than the first. I never took it out of the packing.

The product came broken and not working. Was very disappointed and returned it.

Loud. Super loud. Can't hear yourself think when this thing is running. Cheap craftsmanship, high electric cost/heat benefit. Very disappointed.

Stopped working less than a month of having it

This fireplace could be nice but they are cheaply made and prone to all types of issues. I received my new heater yesterday and was excited. This was shortly lived as the second I set the temp I had to push it all the way up to 78 degrees just to get the hater to start. It was not 77 degrees (closer to 72) inside my home at the time. The heating part of of this product will not and does not shut down automatically. Basiaclly there is tow setting on my unit; ON of OFF.I am so disappointed because I got this right before the price went up 30-40% and I now have a nice looking fake fire without any other function. The amount of time and effort I am going to have to make just to get my money back makes me feel like I was cheated.

Defective. We had to send it back, which was a HUGE hassle. It would run for 1-2 minutes and then shut off. We had an electrician friend look at it, and he said the fan wasn't operating. Hugely disappointed.

We have had these for 2 months. They both worked great until today- when one just stopped. We use them in a couple of 'farm' offices and they were doing a great job of heating up the space during the work day..... till today when the one just stopped.

They absolutely do not work. The amount of heat they give off, if you want to call it that, is barely Noticeable. I believe they are defective. When I contacted the company to return them they gave me more trouble than any company I have ever had to deal with. Wanted me to pay to return the, over $100! Insisted on pictures of the damage, what damage? They do not work!

ordered this with all the reviews that it had.... be aware customer service sucks there... and do not buy them thinking it going to heat anything. Plugged it in for 24 hours had it turned up on high and the room did not change in the room and it made a slight noise but with both in the same room it still did nothing. Customer service said we needed better insulation

I did not receive the ones in the picture! I will be returning them. See the photo of what I received and compare it to the photo advertised.

I have only had these foe one day and already hate them. Theyrun for about 5 minutes and then turn off and dont come back on. Wasted my money on these and want a refund.

These are supposed to heat a 1200 Sqft room each. Our room is 300 Sqft and one heater could not heat the room. Using the second was not an option too, as it specifically states that we should not put it on the same circuit. We tried for a laugh, and it tripped the main fuse immediately.We have multiple $35 ceramic forced air heaters which, believe it or not, actually heat the room better, so you're better off buying a different heater.Sorry for the bad new folks, but we've got to be honest - they are pretty rubbish.
