Our house has radiant heat in the ceiling, with separate units in every room. We've never used it (lived here for less than a year), because neighbors, who have the same type of heating, say it is can get expensive to run. With that limitation in mind, and the fact that SoCal occasionally gets down to the low 40s in winter, we wanted to buy a portable electric heater that could be used to keep the living room comfortable.
This heater was chosen for two reasons: 1. The good reviews from Amazon and, 2 The relatively high rating from Consumer Reports. CR didn't rate it the highest, but it was the best in it's price range, as well as being one of the quietest.
After a month of operation, here are our observations:
It has two levels of heat: High, (1500 Watts), and low, (probably around 600-750 watts, though the manual does not specifically indicate the wattage).
It can be adjusted to direct the heat in three different ways: A full 360 degree circle, 170 degrees, and 90 degrees. Since it is used in a corner, ours is set using the 90 degree setting. Moreover, these settings can be used in either high heat or low heat setting.
If you want the heater to automatically shut off once it reaches a specific temperature, that only works on the high heat setting. The low heat setting will show you the current temperature in the room, but it will run continuously until it is shut off. It will not shut itself off!
There does not appear to be much difference in the noise between the high and the low setting, though when we run the heater, we turn up the TV volume slightly.
The heat comes out from the vent in a narrow band beginning at 21.5 inches above the floor and ending at 25 inches above the floor. The unit is very stable, and not at all likely to tip over UNLESS there are small children or pets in the home (we don't have either, but if we did, we might consider buying a different type of heater). Also, we don't think there is any danger of getting burned by accidentally touching any of the parts of the heater. Finally, the remote control is simple to operate and has all of the functions of the main unit.
We are pleased with our purchase, and we think we made the right choice. If anything happens in the future that changes our opinion, we will update this review. We hope this information helps.

This is a great heater! I purchased this heater solely for my room because it can get pretty chilly during the late fall through winter (my home heater isn't always on-- it turns on automatically at a certain temperature). I keep my small pets in my room so I thought I'd treat myself to a portable heater to keep everyone warm :). At first I was indecisive between Dyson's AM05 Fan Heater and Lasko's 6462 Full Circle Ceramic Heater but atlas this product won me over because of the price and reviews. I was also impressed by the design of the heater.. It actually looks better in person than in picture.The heater itself doesn't take up too much space: it is about 25 inches tall and the foot (the base) is about 11 inches wide. Upon arrival, the foot wasn't attached to the heater so that requires assembling. The assembling process is easy if you follow the instruction manual. [A screwdriver is required for the assembling process!]. So far my heater has been very sturdy and have yet to tip over. My room is small and the heater warm up my living space very quickly. I never keep my heater on all day because it usually isn't necessary, max 1-2 hours per day. I would turn it off when it's warm enough then turn it back on when it gets chilly. There are two heat settings for this product: high and low. I always keep the heat setting on low to save energy. When the setting is on low it keeps my room nice and toasty. There's an oscillation feature with 3 heat sweep settings: 90 degree, 170 degree, or 360 degree. If you don't want it to spin you can change the setting so the heat can be released in a single area, whichever is preferred. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase! I personally don't think it's noisy but you will notice the noise if you pay close attention to it.
