 Incredibly Versatile Space Heater Oct 19, 2009
By krugz
It sounds silly, but the handle on the top of this space heater increases its portability tenfold. It's very light, and because it only takes one hand to move it around, I'm constantly switching it from the floor to an end table. The many different heat settings mean that you can be very picky about the heat blasting out at you.
Another feature that I find preferable is that it heats constantly, unlike some space heaters which practically light you on fire but come on only intermittently. This handy space heater stays at the temperature you choose the entire time. I've run this thing for 10 hours at a time with no ill effects. It lasted through last winter and is still going strong this winter. When I had the flu for a couple of weeks, I hunkered down on my couch with this on the coffee table and baked myself every single night for the entire night.
I adore this thing and I'm about to order another to keep in my office. (I live in a house that was built in 1825 so it can be a little drafty. Because all the rooms are small and the house is full of doors just for the purpose of trapping heat, it's more energy efficient for me to squirrel myself away in my office with the door shut and the space heater on than to crank the furnace in the entire house up.

Good heater despite a directional issue..... Dec 09, 2010
By Gregory L. Copeland
I bought this heater in November 2010 from another seller. I first used it in a room that did not have a carpeted floor and it provided good heat for its size although the temperature was only about 60-degrees F so it really wasn't much of a test. At the end of the month when the temperature dropped to the 40s and 30s at night, I used the heater in a rather small 15' x 13' carpeted room and almost froze until I realized this: the heater blows its heat downward toward the floor. I was about to return it for being defective until I decided to try sitting it on a small box I had. After I put it on the box, it started heating the entire room with no problem at all - even getting too hot at the highest setting. The fact that it blows downward could be a defect, but I am thinking that because this is actually a utility heater, it is made for non-carpeted rooms which helps bounce the heat around the room or keep it from igniting items directly in front of it - although I could be wrong.
For the quality, this heater is very durable and sturdy. It has a very solid feel to it, with a good weight. Nor does it feel or look cheaply made. The fan sound is a bit noticeable compared to my tower heater, but it isn't loud as to hinder sleeping or watching tv. One thing about the heater is that the fan is always on high, but, in my opinion, that is good for low heat settings because it still helps distribute the heat throughout the room. The thermostat isn't digital but works very well. If the temperature is constant outside, the heater keeps the room at a fairly even temperature. And, I like the fact that I can turn the knob to exactly where I want it rather than it being set at say 5 degree increments the way my tower heater is.
This heater and all of its comparable models do use quite a bit of electricity. I have noticed that this heater will use about 36 kilowatts in a 24-hour period. That is about $4 - $6 a day depending on the electric company rates.
I have used this heater every day for the past month with no problems at all other than having to sit in on a box. So, overall, I give it 4 stars. The only thing taking away is the fact that I have to sit it on the box, the slightly audible fan noise and the amount of electricity it uses. But those are all very minor, in my opinion, for the comfort it provides.

Pickiest, hardest to satisfy buyer says it's a great, sturdy, handsome little soldier Sep 28, 2011
By Relentles review reader
"JT"
1st it is more than powerful enough to heat the 12 X 14 room with 12' ceilings I'm using it for. It does have to be set each time you turn it on (Turn on, dial temp control up till heating element kicks on then lightly dial it back till it turns off & it will stay at a very close temp all night or day)
It's very sturdy. I can see not a piece of anything that I would predict will easily break off. It has no extraneous parts of loose or flimsy plastic. The knobs are well thought out, simple & solid. The entire body is two parts back & front that integrate to form the handle so the handle is one united piece with the body. Unless you pick it up & slam it against a wall it's not going to break & there is nothing to come loose.
It's fan only feature is a bit on the weak side but it works. The only quirk there is that you must turn the function dial to the fan icon then turn the temp control to a setting warmer than the room you're in (where it would kick on the heating element if you had it set to the 1 or 2 heating setting, or the fan does not kick on. Also if you don't turn it all the way up & the temperature in the room rises above the setting the fan will turn off.
The issue of it seeming that the direction of the air flow seems downward. I think it actually is that it comes straight out & the shape of the unit tilting & slanting up (that meaning the perforated metal heating plate cover *the only metal piece of the exterior) it doesn't direct the air upward as it is slanted - but the last time I checked, heat rises so when you stand within a few feet of this on the floor, you feel the heat very strongly in your face.
I wanted to use the fan only on a table next to my bed where I was sitting so I simply laid it on it's side & aimed the air flow where I wanted it. *The grooves you see on the sides are not open fins that allow any air flow in or out. It is a solid closed body everywhere but for a 6 or 7" circular cut out that exposes the fan in the back - so lying it on it's side does not in any way block air flow. I would NOT run it in heat mode like that. Just saying that if you need a little fan blowing on you close up you can do that.
From the design & the fact that I've used this every night for about 8 weeks I can say I expect that unless the interior parts are inferior, I will have this for many years.
The fact that it's got that faux industrial design (even though it's mostly plastic & gets it's weight from the ceramic element inside not the weight of the casing) it's a cool looking little unit. Not crappy cheap looking shiny plastic what will look beat up as fast as most & no little peices of anything sticking out or thin, frail parts to snap off.
The handle does also make it as someone else mentioned make it original in that you have a sturdy cool handle to pick it up & move it by without burning yourself or risking dropping it.
I've bought & returned 4 others 3 of which cost more, one considerably so & I am very happy with this.

best bang for the tiny little buck Dec 12, 2011
By Desert Gypsy
"A Brooklyn Girl Out West"
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2M8ETYP4MNXOI (sorry for the VERY poor video quality - my little digital camera isn't exactly designed for making movies and the sound does not pick up very well either; hope you can turn up your volume and still get the gist!)
This video briefly compares the Holmes HQH307 Tower Quartz Heater, and a Dr Heater Portable Quartz + PTC Infrared Space Heater - 1500W, Dual Heating System, UL Listed.**, with the spotlight on the Lasko 675945 Stanley 12-Inch Ceramic Utility Heater. While all three heaters are relatively energy efficient choices each have various strong and weak points which are discussed, but the Stanley model is a BIG winner in a small package! It costs the least and heats even a large room just about as fast and as well as my old favorite, Dr. Heater.
Important: the design of this model produces directional heat - it blows on an angle towards the floor. On hard surfaces like tile or hardwood this is a huge plus for quick distribution of heat. When I use this in a carpeted area, the carpet will absorb the heat and the room takes longer to warm unless I put the heater on heat resistant surface a couple of feet above the floor like on a small end table.
Edited to add: the description states "built-in safety features, which consist of a self-regulating ceramic heating element and automatic overheat protection", but please be aware that this unit appears NOT to have a tip-over shut off feature.
The video highlights differences in features and functions of each, including demonstrating how fast and how hot each unit gets comparatively.
Uses about 36kwh per 24hrs; you can use your electric bill to find your rate to see what this unit will cost to run day to day.
No word on longevity as this is a new purchase for me. Very pleased with this item so far though and happy to recommend!
** for more information on the Dr Heater Portable Quartz heater please check the product page and/or my review of it which was posted on October 21, 2011.

Great space heater Nov 16, 2009
By Mauton Gbenu
Pros: Compact and quality design. Easy to operate and safe. good heating and fast startup. You can be sure to feel the heat as soon as it starts up.
Cons: Initial smell of the camicals used to protect the ceramic heating parts. A little noisy.
