Small & quiet heater
I ended up buying this heater twice - one for my office (where the AC and heater have constant mood swings) and one for my bathroom. It’s about the size of my hand and blends easily into the background. This is genuinely the quietest small heater I’ve tried. My coworkers in the cubicle next to me doesn’t even know I have it on. It’s discreet enough to use at work, especially if your workplace isn’t a fan of personal heaters due to fire‑risk concerns. Just remember to turn it off and unplug it before leaving. It works well in small spaces by taking the chill out of the air. You’ll feel the warmth best when you’re sitting close to it. It also has a safety feature that automatically shuts it off if it’s tilted, and the ceramic surface doesn’t get dangerously hot—so you won’t burn your hand if you need to move it after use. Still, always handle any heater with care during and right after operation.

Best bang for your buck ANYWHERE, it would only be shown up if Tesla sold cars for 50 bucks!!!
Warmest and coziest $15 I've ever spent! This thing is incredible, it works perfectly, It's like a hair dryer but 10 times quieter as far as sound goes, It's super portable from room to room (Even though it's great it is still just a tiny heater, and sadly you do in fact have to carry it around with you if you want to stay warm in multiple places). It doesn't have a timer, but I don't think it really needs one. This puppy is consistently pumping the perfect amount of heat regardless of the room size and previous temperature. It's really weird but it's basically perfect at bringing any medium to small size room to room temperature as long as you let the heat stay in just that room by sealing cracks and closing doors of course. Well done Amazon, you knocked my socks clean off with the price to performance you get from this beauty of a mini heater!

Exactly what we needed for the RV. Pefect size, features, and safety. I would buy these again.
For a motorhome you can't have powerful space heaters. The Amazon Basics Ceramic Space Heater is perfect & I bought 2 of them. The quietness level is fine and we don't notice it, other than the nice heat. Even new we didn't smell anything. The tip over shut off is a great feature but the heater doesn't need to stay on that long (it works great). It doesn't have a timer but for this small space it's not needed. Unpacking and setup was easy, with true ease of installation, just plug it in and go. The overall quality feels solid for such a compact heater, and the functionality is exactly what I needed: fast, consistent warmth in a small space. For the size and price, this heater delivers outstanding performance.

Small and mighty
What a small and powerful heater! I got this for my office for under the desk and it works great! It is small and compact, so it can be hidden or fits easily. The noise level is low but not completely quiet. There's like a small hum. If you like white noise, it's perfect. The heater does not have any option for changing the temperature but it does warm up pretty quickly! If you are looking for low stress and quick and easy installation, this is a good one!

Works for me as a desktop heater.
I'm not sure why there are so many bad reviews about this small heater. It clearly states in the title that it is a desk heater. It is designed for personal use at your desk or at your chair. It is NOT designed to heat an entire room. You can place it on top of your desk, or under your desk for added heat. I like it because it's small/compact, lightweight, and can easily be moved from my reading chair to my computer desk. I use it on a side table or on my desk to give me some added heat during cold spells. It works just fine for that. Yes, you can hear the fan running, but unless you are going to be in a zoom call or talking on a phone, the noise does not interfere with anything. It does have a plastic case, so I would be careful not to bang it around. My only complaint would be that the on-off button is in the back. I would have preferred it be on top for easy accessiblity.

Great small heater!
Works just as I thought it would. I bought it for under my desk at work. The heat keeps my feet nice and warm. When I kick it over by accident, it turns off automatically, which is a great safety feature. The air flow kicks out, and makes it hot VERY quickly, which warms my office space. It was small enough that I can fit it in my purse, so it's portable to bring back and forth.

Nice very little space heater
Nice very little space heater. Warms up the immediate area very well. Wife uses it to keep her feet warm on those (5) cool nights we have here in Florida :) It not only keep her feet warm, but the heat does rise and radiates out a bit. For the price, it can't be beat - realizing it's not going to heat a room, but it is good for under a desk, or otherwise sitting close to you.

Small but serves a purpose
I bought this to keep my seedlings warm until the weather changes. Tbis definitely is a small unit. It has no features except an on/off switch. It is quiet and provides instant heat. I do like that it is small and store easily after the seedlings are ready. It is not the strongest heat source, but works well in a small environment.

I recently got the Amazon Basics Ceramic Space Heater, Mini Heater, and we’ve been using it both on our camping trips and in one room in our basement. It really helps with the cold weather, providing quick and consistent warmth wherever we need it. The heater is compact and lightweight, making it easy to move around and set up in different locations. Despite its small size, it heats the space efficiently and keeps the room cozy without using too much power. Overall, this mini heater has been very practical and reliable. Whether we’re camping or just trying to warm up a chilly room at home, it does the job well and makes cold days much more comfortable.

This heater does not put out a tremendous amount of heat but there again it is small and compact. They said it was not recommended for outdoor use but I got it to put in an insulated shelter for a feral cat and works absolutely perfect.has been running 24/7for a month now in -35 to-15 degrees Celsius. And is the best purchase I could have made. Good roll ever shut down on it in case it gets knocked over which has never happened. It is the Perfect temp and I would not hesitate to buy it again. It is the ideal unit for a small closed or semi enclosed area. Can't beat it for that price. It is sturdy and well insulated. Does not get warm on sides and top. Am very pleased with it knowing it is not a fire Hazzard in any way. Elimited the need for a heated water dish also so it more than paid for itself .Wished I would have bought it sooner.

When I read the other reviews I was a bit worried, but I didn't need an expensive wild heater. I live in a basement in Toronto which is cold and damp. This little heater was purchased to warm a corner to keep my reptile nice and toasty. Which it does! BUT! It also takes the chill out of the air, and surprisingly, contradictory to other reviews does in fact warm the rest of my room. Nothing drastic but it's clearly a very powerful little heater. I don't run it for long periods of time, and hour or two at a time, so it hasn't died and I can't speak to that but I would never run it for longer than that. There is no temperature control, only hot! If this was under a desk I would imagine your toes would be kept very warm but the heat doesn't go very far, when compared to blasting. Just in general it warms. The smell that people are talking about I also experienced, but the label does warn of that. It isn't anything to worry about, and goes away after a few uses. It does recommend using in a well ventilated area the first time to eliminate headaches. It's a chemical smell, I believe the label said it was from sanitizing the product. The cancer warning.. is because products must include those in the state of California. Unless you were planning on eating the thing, you will be alright. In summation, I love this heater. It keeps my large space a bit warmer, warms smaller spaces well. No heat control but is gets hot! Smell goes away, cancer warning for legal purposes.
