The media could not be loaded. This is my third Amazon Basics heater. They work very well, great price, quality, efficiency, compact, look great and extremely quiet. These are perfect for where I needed them. This one has three heat settings and a heat or fan mode. So compact, can fit anywhere! Recommend!

I bought this to warm up an apartment sized bathroom with a tile floor located in an old building that gets pretty cold in the winter. It is surprisingly capable of warming the space and making it cozy enough to be able to take a shower without dreading getting into the shower (haha)! I really was surprised how well it worked! Also, during our coldest months I left it on for maybe close to six hours straight and had no problems (although I obviously kept it away from any materials that could cause fire, just in case). Now I just run it in the evening when I want to take a relaxing shower before bed, and typically it takes maybe 30 minutes for it to warm the entire bathroom to a temperature that's comfortable. It's not a large bathroom (just a single sink, shower/tub combo, and toilet in a 1,000 sq ft two bed/two bath apartment so if you have a large bathroom, this might not work or it just might take longer to heat the space, but I definitely recommend for a small-ish type bathroom).

I live in Texas where winters are usually mild, but we do get the occasional freeze. Our living room has a propane wall unit that keeps the common areas warm, but my bedroom doesn’t have any heat. I picked up this space heater to use in my room, and it helped a lot during those cold snaps.It warms up quickly and makes a noticeable difference, especially if you’re sitting or working near it. You do have to be fairly close to really feel the heat as it’s more of a personal or spot heater than something that heats the whole room evenly. Still, it was great for keeping my space comfortable while reading, working, or getting ready for bed. I usually turned it off when I went to sleep, mostly out of caution. It’s very quiet, easy to move around, and great for what it is. If you need something small and reliable to warm up your immediate space, this does the job well without driving up your heating costs.

A great personal heater with adjustable heat setting. It is light and portable. The heater is suitable for small space. It heats up the room but not the surface where it is put on. One can also touch the heater without being burned. The fan is much quieter than other fancy ceramic heaters.

I ordered this small heater for under my desk at work. The size factor was important as was the relatively low wattage. This heater checks the box for both of those issues as it is very small and only 520 watts. The heat output is in line with the low wattage so saying it doesn't get very hot isn't entirely fair as you're, of course, going to get a lot more heat from a heater with 750, 1200, or more watts.My biggest disappointment is with the way you interact with the power controls. There are two buttons on top of the unit that control the heat and the fan. Only, they don't work properly. You're supposed to be able to push one button to light up the fan icon and then the other button works the fan strength from one through three. Push the power button again to switch to the heater icon and then the other button controls the heat setting from one to three. My buttons are exactly reversed. When the fan icon is lit up pushing the second button controls the intensity of the heat, not the strength of the fan. When the heat icon is lit up, pushing the second button then controls the strength of the fan and not the intensity of the heat. It took me a long time to figure that one out as the tiny amount of instructions - and logic - suggested otherwise. Maybe I have a bad heater where some wires are crossed on the inside? The main button that should control the switching of the functions is also the power button and you push it a third time to turn the device off. Only thing is that it takes about a good 5 seconds to actually shut off and sometimes you forget about this and think it's still left on which means you have to sit there and wait to make sure it's truly off.If I had it over to do again, I'd pass on this cheap model; you get what you pay for. I'd look for one that has maybe 750 watts as a nice middle ground and one that has a completely dedicated on/off switch. I'd also look for one that has physical dial for the fan control and a separate dial for the heat control.This fan isn't terrible, but I'm left wishing I bought a different one so my advice to you is to spend a bit more money and get one that is functionally better.I hope this review was helpful for you. Cheers!

I really like the low wattage heaters for under my desk and such. Spot heating really saves quite a bit of money over the winter utility bills. A 1500 watt is just too much for what I need to keep my office just a few degrees warmer than the rest of the house. I can put this under my desk & on the lowest setting, I'm usually comfortable. This is the only low wattage heater I've seen with 3 heat settings. It really makes this heater so much more useful rather than turning it on and off all day. Don't expect it to perform like a 1500 watt heater if that is what you need. But I can keep the house at 60 and still stay warm and toasty while I work in my office. For a bathroom that I only want to heat while I get ready, I still prefer a higher wattage to heat the room quickly so I can be ready quickly. But for all day heat, I'm loving the savings this unit provides.
