"I purchased this heater because I didn't want the extra expense of heating the entire house in the winter. I liked that it was cuter than most heaters. At first I had the heater in the living room. It did not work at all. I would have to position the heater 4 feet away to feel anything, which made it an eyesoar and trip hazard because my furniture is not against the wall. Before returning it, I decided to try it out in my bedroom and it worked out perfectly. My living room was too open, with access to the kitchen, dining, hallways, and vaulted ceilings. But in an enclosed bedroom it heated the entire room and sheets in minutes. Now I am able to set the timer and go to sleep at night with the thermostat low. And in the mornings, the convenient remote allows me to heat up the room before I get out of bed. I love it!"
