DreoOil Filled Radiator Heater, Electric Radiant Heater with Remote Control, 4 Modes, Overheat & Tip-Over Protection, 24h Timer, Digital Thermostat, Quiet Space Heater for Indoor Use Large Room

Although it states it can heat a medium to large room, when it gets to a certain degree of cold, no space heater is going to quite cut that. It is meant to be a secondary resouce of heat, and works very well in that capacity. Unfortunately, my boiler went out 2 years ago, and I have had to rely on space heaters as my only source of heat sionce then. That can be dangerous, and I have tried several different kinds of heaters . One infrared heater actually did catch fire in my bedroom, and the entire end of the cord was completely vaporized within the outlet.I like these little oil-filled radiators. They don't have a large surge or drain on the electrical system, and as long as you pay attention, check the cords often for overheating, and NEVER leave them on unattended, I find these to be safe and adequate in an insulated and enclosed space. I keep one under my desk in the winter, and another one in the bathroom to keep my pipes from freezing and so I can shower comfortably. I keep them on low until I am going to be using the area , and shut the one in the office off when I go to bed upstairs. I also have plenty of wifi connected fire alarms throughout all 3 floors, and they are ESSENTIAL.The cost of replacing my house heating system is going to be nearly $20,000, and I just don't see that happening, so I am always looking for safe alternatives. Space heaters are NOT the most efficient way to have to heat a house, of course, but it's the only option I have these days, as I can't find any programs near me that will offer assistance. SO I am pretty comfortable with these little radiators, and keep praying for a resolution soon. I would recommend these to just about anyuone who will be responsible with their use. They have not exposed heating elements, and while they are kind of hot to the touch, they aren't going to put 3rd degree burns on your fingers. As logic would suggest, though, ALWAYS be careful if there are very small children near them. While they are stable enough not to easily tip over, and do have an automatic shut off, a little toddler pulling one over onto himself would get hurt. But there are not open flames, and unlikely to catch anything else on fire, unless it had an electrical iussue with your wiring. I would be even more careful in the length of time having them on on older homes with older wiring, so please make sure you check where you are plugging ot in, never use a drop cord, and never leave it on when you leave, even if you are just in another part of the house. Be smart, be safe, and these are a great little extra warmth for you.It has a handle you can use to pull it around if it's on and you need to move it to another location, so you don't have to wait for it to cool down. I can't hear it when it's on, although I think it may make a slight sound when it kicks on or off. I just don't hear that well, but I wouldn't think it would be particularly disturbing unless you are hypersensitive. There is a a red light to indicate when it is on, and some might think that is too bright, but if so, it's easy enough to turn it away from your direction. I am 70, and I have no trouble carrying it anywhere, even up the stairs, but I do get arounf well for my age. It is not heavy. You wnt to have at least a couple of feet on all sides to avoid any accidental tripping or covering it with a blanlet or coat, etc. There is a fairly wide range of tempurature options. I enjoyed my first winter with it, and purchased a second for the upcoming winter. Overall, I find them to be probably the most energy efficient heaters under MY circumstances, but I wouldn't want to have to run one in all 15 rooms full time. So I downsize in winter, and stay warm.

We just purchased an older home with a two-car, finished (but not heated or cooled) garage that we use for storage, exercise, workshop and laundry. Temps dropped considerably already this year, which made doing laundry rather uncomfortable, let alone anything else. My hubby purchased this in hopes that it would make a difference for me, and it totally has! I'm impressed with how well it keeps the garage a comfortable temperature, even in below zero conditions. For example, outside temperatures dropped into the teens/twenties, but the garage actually stayed in the sixties. I can handle that. I'm also impressed with the safety of the unit, it seems much safer and more practical than a typical space heater. We've left it plugged in and going since we bought it, with no issues. I love how the garage actually feels warmer, without the need to stand in front of something blowing heat at you. Please note - it took at least a day or longer, for the temperature change in the garage to be noticeable - in fact, my hubby was unconvinced that it was really doing anything at first. But we decided to give it some time and are we glad we did! Honestly, this is a reasonably priced solution to needing to utilize your garage space in winter. We have it sitting near the center of the garage, but even the area in front of the garage door stays around 63 degrees (the unit is set at 70, I believe). We are very pleased with this heater and definitely recommend it. If that changes, we'll try to update. Stay warm! :)

I got two of these to heat our house in zones this winter. I set the house thermostat for our minimal household temperature and run one of them in the living room and another in the master suite, thus giving us heat where we want it instead of where we don't.I have no way to actually track the efficiency of these units but I've seen some excellent reviews from those who do and without fans, lights and other controls, there's just nothing to use up power other than a direct creation of heat other than an LED status, which can't take up more than a half watt. The heat just rises off the surface as there are no moving parts.There are three different power settings so you can either get there faster or slower, but none of those settings create any hotspot that would threaten to burn anyone including small children. I don't see any circumstance that it would create a fire hazard.That said, this isn't one of those things that you turn on and get a very fast warm room or stand in front of for the radiant heat. It's meant to turn it on for the evening and forget it. The timer helps so that we don't forget it too long.Overall, I wouldn't use this as a primary heat source in a large area or for an entire house. If we had kids at home, we would still probably have the one for the living room but leave the central heat on for nights and to keep all the bedrooms warm. But for heating in zones, I think we will be more comfortable this winter and yet keep our fuel costs under control.There's only one con that I'm aware of now. The center of gravity for it is a bit high given its narrow base and if there was a young large excitable and clumsy dog around, I can see a risk of it being easily knocked over with a mild bump. If we had such a dog, I'm sure we would still use it but we would find a more suitable place to put it out of the way. Just something to keep in mind as you are deciding where it goes. Even if it does tip over, it has a cutoff so it should not pose a risk. But I don't see it doing the heater any good either, so it's best to be avoided.
