There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It is quiet, there was never an original burn off odor, directions are easy to follow. I used ECO mode. The stand i used was so it was a little higher off the floor and i believe to make it more steady.
Lets see how it does throughout the winter here in the mountains of NC. So far, i like it and not a bad price .

So we bought a replacement to use it in our camper instead of the noisy furnace. When using in our camper, we have to use on low if we have 2 heaters going at the same time to prevent the breaker from tripping. We use one at each end and they keep us comfortable when the weather is 25-30*
Would buy again!
Now i do not think this thing would be as adequate as the larger dr. heaters at all for main areas like living room or large rooms. right now i have it near my bed somewhat where i get up at in mornings, so its size and heat distribution is good enough to warm me up in AM’s when it is cold but, i cannot actually feel the heat when i am sitting on my bed, just when i sit on at end/side of it. when i used the regular wood version, i could indeed feel the heat when on my bed, we can actually feel the heat blowing out of those versions across our living room till about 12ft.. bottom line this is a cute heater for a small-medium room and definitely great for direct heat but, it is not going to heat up your house like the wood ones do. we have 4 of those, one is in our living room near stairs & door facing into the room, another is in our kitchen/dinning area near back door facing into rooms and towards living room. we set them on 66 at night and 70 during day and these two keep our whole downstairs warm all winter (as long as we start them up before temps get below 55 inside). we haven’t even turn on our furnace in 4 yrs with those and there is no way this would be the case if we replace them with two of these newer smaller black versions!!
As much as i like its look, am thinking of returning it cause well for how it performs overall, you can probably get another brand for probably a cheaper price with a wider heat output other than the only upward one this heater is putting out.. plus and i am not sure if this is normal with just unit we receive but, when it comes on to check air temp it makes a loud click-on noise and also does when it decides afterwards room needs heated...its enough to wake one back up when almost asleep!! no rattling fan noise like the 5yr old wood unit version i am replacing though so that is a plus! i don’t know, i do like this one but, don’t like it at same time, if it wasn’t so cute and stylish looking, it would be much easier to simply send it back and rebuy the original wood version instead..
recommend for direct heat like next to your work area, bathroom and small kids rooms but, not for warming up a whole room/s. buy the original wood dr.heaters or iliving for that (the iliving brand are dr. heaters too and some come in a nicer darker reddish wood color instead of the orangy color).
