Best purchase I've made in 2010 Feb 24, 2010 By Jack Safro "J.S."
I LOVE this little heater. I live in St. Pete Florida and needed a space heater for the unseasonably cold weather that we had here. I live in a 650 sq. foot, poorly insulated, garage apartment, and this heater really saved the day when it was in the 20's and 30's outside. We ran only this heater and not our central heater, as the latter costs a fortune and does very little in the way of actual heating. The space heater was used mostly in one large room that comprises about 40% of our apartment, and also in the bedroom which is about 25%. In the bedroom with the door closed this sucker kept it quite warm, even on low (and the bedroom is like 15x13 feet). Granted it takes an hour or so to heat the whole room, but it worked great (so great that we had to shut it off in the middle of the night because we were sweating under our heavy comforter). In the large room, the heater did an admirable job and kept it bearable throughout the cold spell (and that large room has so many drafts it's like all of professional sports combined). Now, with the weather more temperate (40's and 50's) this little heater heats whatever room I'm in without a problem.
I love the high and low settings and the fact that the high setting draws only 1200W (as opposed to 1500W for most space heaters). The unit is quite small and no part of it is too hot to touch at any time. It is a breeze to move from room to room. This heater would be a good choice for anyone with children or pets, as it has a knockover shut-off. It is very quiet (though not silent as some have said). In a room with any ambient noise, you're not likely to hear the heater. In a quiet bedroom it sounds like (surprise) a small fan. There are some days when it sounds a little bit rough on startup, but this noise goes away within a minute or so.
My unit has held up great (I've had it for a few months now and ran it 24 hrs a day for weeks), but I am very careful not to knock it or use it in a humid area (like a bathroom). I could see this heater breaking if it is knocked over or hit against something while moving it between rooms. Also, I take care to hold the heater with one hand whenever I turn the on/off knob with the other hand, because the knob takes a good bit of torque to rotate. If I were to turn the knob without holding the heater I would be twisting the whole heater on its base which could potentially damage the oscillation feature. With proper care this heater seems like it will fare well.
For me, this heater was a great buy. It was relatively inexpensive, it is small and easy to store, and it puts out an admirable amount of heat for its size. I wouldn't rely on it to bring a large room up to a short sleeve and shorts temperature in the dead of winter, but it will definitely take the edge off the cold. In a closed room this heater will bring the temperature up nicely.
Amazon, as always, was a pleasure to deal with. Oddly, the manufacturer's packaging looked like it had been opened and re-taped, but the interior packaging appeared factory fresh. I guess it could have been opened and re-sealed, or the Sunpentown factory just tapes up their boxes sloppily. Either way, the heater is great, and I am quite pleased.

Very nice room heater Feb 04, 2009 By L. Goddard "plgoddard"
A little smaller than I had anticipated, this little heater does a nice job. I bought it for a basement tool room we have, which stays very cold in the winter. Turn this baby on and in ten minutes it's comfy in there. The amount of heat emanating from its small front doesn't seem like it will heat a room well, but it does. It's very quiet, you can't tell when it's on, whether it's set on oscillating or not. It oscillates about 90 degrees.

Having small children in the house, I like how you can touch it anywhere during its operation and not get burned. The automatic shut-off feature is also a good thing. There are two settings, low and high (600/1200 watts), and both seem to do the job well.

Worked well and a good value Apr 10, 2009 By loraloo
The heater worked well - warmed up a 12 X 12 bedroom with a vaulted ceiling in a very short period of time. Good value - ran quietly. Would recommend to anyone.

Disappointed Feb 17, 2011 By dgpham
After I read all positive and negative reviews, I decided to buy this product because as noted in many 5 star reviews, it could provide enough heat for a room. Well, the unit is functioning but its heating capacity is very poor. As long as you are within 1 meter diameter from the unit, you can feel the heat. Otherwise, it is a waste. I don't understand how people say it can provide enough heat for a 12X12 bedroom even with a vaulted ceiling! Are you kidding me?

Not for everyone Mar 03, 2011 By LMF
When I first got this heater, I wanted to give it 5 stars. It's stylish, quiet, and has a removable filter. After a few days of use, I have to knock two stars off for an intermittent rattling that developed and some more general limitations of this device.

Pros:
-Very quiet fan and oscillation (until rattle developed)
-Has removable filter (I suspect my Lasko heater failed due to a clogged air intake)
-Compact, cute design

Cons:
-Non-ergonomic control. A slippery, stiff-turning dial controls all the features except oscillation. This is a matter of style over substance. A bar that turns would work better than a round dial. At least they could have put ridges on the dial, but no, it's smooth and slippery as marble.
-Limited heating area. The quiet fan and low wattage comes at a price: it heats the room very slowly and the heat distribution stops at 2 feet from the heater.
-An intermittent rattling developed after only 3 days of use. It happens when the unit is oscillating and is quite loud.

I won't list the lack of thermostat as a con since it's clear this is not an included feature. However, I will say that the unit is on the expensive side for one that doesn't have a thermostat. I am leaning towards returning this unit based on the rattling noise.
