Oscillating All Season Tower Fan and Space Heater in One for Home with Adjustable Thermostat, Overheat Protection, 4 Fan Speeds, 3 Heat Settings and Remote, 42 Inches, 1500W, Gray, FH515

Update: It still works as advertised, but now that winter in here I'm finding out that unless you heat the whole room up, it's not going to be very comfortable just having hot air blowing along the floor. As a fan for cooling it works great, but as a heater, for the amount of power it draws, it's just not enough heat. I just ordered an oil filled design that is supposed to heat a room, not just throw out some spot heat. They seem to be more efficient because you can leave them on all the time 24/7 (they cycle on/off.) On a side note, I noticed that when I make pancakes on my cheapo but large griddle, the whole kitchen quickly gets pretty warm. I set it up in my living room and it doesn't take long to raise the room temp a few degrees. This is pretty much the same principle as those wall mounted heaters. Right off the bat, tower fans/heaters and small kids don’t mix. While it’s pretty stable, some kid is going to want to play with it, followed by yelling parents if it breaks in pieces on the floor, (it is only plastic, not metal.) I like towers over floor models because I don’t sit on the floor. I want to feel it while I’m on a couch or chair. First, the Fan mode. It’s pretty great and moves a narrow vertical beam of air right at you. 4-speeds; the 4th speed is almost too much from 5’ away, which is a good thing on a hot day. You’ll soon want to turn it down. It has an oscillating option, which I never like on fans; a steady flow of air is much better. Now the heater. I didn’t fully test this too much as it’s 82 degrees out. I just wanted to make sure it works. The heat comes out from the lower part, from 5” up to 15” from the floor. While this opposes why I wanted a tower model, it will keep your feet and legs warm. I guess they had to compromise separating the fan and heater, but it does let you run both at the same time. I used to have a smaller tower heater, and always put it in a stand so that the heat was at eye/body level when sitting. I can always put this on a stand too, (no kids). Power draw. At highest heat setting, about 13.6 amps, 1470 watts. Most homes have 15 amp breakers so you’ll probably want this on a separate circuit not shared with other gadgets. Of course, you have lower less power hungry settings, but you know how it is when you’re cold. All electric heaters are going to use a fair amount of power; there’s no “efficiency ratings” for them. All you can do is choose direct radient heat on your skin, or try to heat a whole room (obviously takes more power and a longer run time.) Radiant heat is good for sitting in one spot, watching a movie or reading, and you’re trying to keep your heating bill down. For just the fan, 44 watts to 32 Watts, high to low setting. My ceiling fan uses over twice as much power. Funny how they show a whole family gathered around it. The reality is this is more of a 1 or 2 person fan/heater, at least when it’s really cold (excuse to snuggle up) or really hot (quit hogging the fan.)

Great portable heater. Tall not wide so takes up less floor space. No worries about burns. Good base so doesn't tip easily. Auto shut off. I have dogs, cats and small children so these safety features are perfect. Oscillator helps distribute air flow. Our heater went out for a week and we used this and it heated the house well. I got one for my son's bedroom where he rents and he loves it too.

amended review: the fan breeze is excellent. also the heater is great. but i'm having issue with the very very strikingly bright blue display numbers. its so bright it wakes me up and i've had to sleep with a eye pads. there should be some way to dim it down. i also noticed other reviewers noted the same issue. that said, the rest of my initial review stands: . I first purchased the Pelonis FZ10-which I had to return because I couldn’t feel any breeze , it was just so faint it did t make sense. So I ordered this fan - I liked the idea of the fan/heater combo as well as the height because my bed is pretty high and I need air to blow on me. As soon as I turned it on I could feel a great big difference to the Pelonis fan . It blows a strong direct breeze. The heater also works grand warmed up almost immediately. It’s not as quiet as the Pelonis but that’s not to say it’s noisy either. The sound is just white noise which is great for sleeping. It costs more than the Pelonis, but I have to say it’s worth it . Only negative thing I could say is that from the picture I expected it to be much slimmer. But all in all I’m very happy with this fan and highly recommend it.

I have only tried the heating element of this But it works great and heats 12 x 14 bedroom just fine. It’s nice and quiet and I like that it has a remote..

Love my heating fan —it warms up my overly large bathroom and open closet area beautifully and the oscillating feature is great. I was afraid it’d be too big but its slim design doesn’t take up much space. If I ever need it elsewhere in the house, I could move it easily. And it would have no problem with heating my open floor plan main living spaces. I don’t use it as just a fan but I think it’d be the same. This big model was a bit of a splurge but so worth it not to freeze taking a shower/bath —you try shaving your legs with goosebumps! (So glad I don’t have to anymore!)

We have a ten year old Lasko 2511 tower fan that we decided to upgrade to this all-in-one fan and space heater. We plan to use it in our living room year-round for heating and cooling that space while we're in it. We've been using it for the past 5 days. PRO: - Looks nice. - It's huge... taller than we expected. We like that the fan is so high up on the unit, though, and expect we'll get more of a direct hit from it than the old fan. CON: - The oscillation is loud. It started quiet, oddly enough, and we commented on how quiet the feature was compared to the old fan. But a few days later it started making a churning sound when it hits the far left and far right sides. We hear it over our TV. We stopped oscillating it. - The remote is maddening. It's common to keep pressing a button repeatedly, hearing no sound, pointing it every direction you can think of with no response from the unit. It seems like a technology they had already mastered (our old fan had a remote too and this issue wasn't present) so I'm not sure how they got it so wrong. We stopped using the remote. - The temperature setting is really sensitive. The heater will run for a while, then when it reaches its set temperature it cycles the heat off. Then back on when it drops one degree. Then off. The unit will do this so rapidly it's an annoyance (20 second intervals at times). We stopped using the temperature setting and just use the H1, H2, and H3 settings or turn it off. Basically every convenience feature here sucks. But the fan does fan and the heater does heat.
