Amazon.com Review

Cute, compact, and weighing only three pounds, this swivel fan heater goes just about anywhere. Take it to work, the vacation cabin, or from room to room, and swivel it manually to direct heat where it's needed most. Simple one-touch operation toggles through thermostat-controlled settings for 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80 degrees F, and for low (1,000 watts) and high (1,500 watts) output. The heater maintains the desired temperature by cycling on and off or runs continually when set on manual mode. If it overheats, the heater instantly shuts off. Measuring 10 by 8 by 5-1/2 inches, this powerful but quiet little heat source can sit on the floor or a table. Holmes provides this heater with a three-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Lowered our heat bill! - dsaxt, Mar 09, 2008

This little heater lowered our heat bill dramatically. Before buying this, we were paying about $700/month (to heat 1200 sq ft).

Although, we can't heat the whole house with one unit, we do benefit from heating just the downstairs with it (about 800 sq ft). It will keep this area about 62 degrees even on sub zero days.

That may not sound impressive but we have almost no insulation in this area. And, it keeps the temperature the same from floor to ceiling.

Plus, the really big deal is, for one month, it only cost $67.00 extra!

really disappointed - dontbossme, Mar 06, 2008

With a big house and lots of little kids, I depend on some trusty and reliable space heaters in a few rooms to get us through a few months we experience winter in Austin. I own a few heaters from DeLonghi, which we've owned forever and love. These Holmes heaters were cheap and small and well rated, so I bought two of them (in addition to some others) this year. First I'll say that 1 of the 2 doesn't work at all. The red power light is on, but when you push any buttons, you can hear the fan/motor start up for about 1-2 seconds and it shuts itself off. There is simply something wrong, mechanically with the product, and I will have to return it. We have a chaotic household and i'm a little peeved I've got to go out of my way to box this, ship it and pay to return it to warranty - only to receive a refurbished one to replace it. It doesn't seem worth it for $20. That one, i'm hoping was a fluke and not a common problem (?) We haven't had that issue with the other one and it works *okay* but it isn't something I'd recommend and if I had it to do over, I definately wouldn't purchase it. All of our heaters are small in size, but this doesn't have much get-up-and-go to it. I think it puts out very little air and it doesn't get terribly warm. I guess its just really wimpy. I wasn't expecting something supurb for $20, but we find we don't even bother to pull it out.
Additionally, the design is such, that it is much easier for things (fingers and other foreign objects 2-6 year olds dream up to stick places) to stick right through and into the fan blades. Again, my expectations are not extraordinary. Small children shouldn't really be near *anything* with a fan/motor/heating element (not to mention foreign objects ;)) but our other heaters are designed much better, such that JUST in CASE a pencil or cat tail were to be inserted between the plastic shield over the fan makes it VERY challenging to hurt anything. In fact they've either long-since given up or just never bothered. (i don't think i'm allowed to mention the one we LOOVVE)This would certainly work for someone that had small, simple needs for a very small space and noone in the household that would be inclined to put things places they don't belong.
Again, the other one never working, i'm sure is a manuf/warranty issue. Just another problem I didn't need ;(

Pretty good product, so far! - J. Uribe, Mar 01, 2008

This little fan is perfect for small spaces. I bought it for my office at work, since it is always cold. It warms it up pretty well, even my co-workers comment on how warm it is everytime they come in to the office. The only disappointment was that I thought it oscillated, the "swirl" description threw me off. The price could be better! Overall, its a good buy!

Great Buy - Steven N. Funasaki, Jan 28, 2008

I'm pretty happy with this buy. You need to keep it pretty close to you if you want instant gratification but if you give in a half hour or so it can heat up a bedroom.
