Comfort ZoneIndoor Dish Space Heater with 70-degree Oscillation, Parabolic, Radiant, Electric, Adjustable Tilt, Tip Over Switch & Overheat Protection Sensor, Ideal for Garage, Workshop, 1,000W, CZ998

I've had it for only 2 hours, and there's no reason to deduct a star yet.I bought this heater specifically because of its lower output --- i.e, I didn't want the operation expense of the more common 1500W heaters.I measured the unit's power consumption, and it's within 1.5 % of its spec (draws 985 watts on its high setting).It's adjustable enuf.I've no use for the oscillating function, so I won't comment on that. (You probably shouldn't, either; see last paragraph.)VERY IMPORTANTLY FOR NEW OWNERS: Only about 2/3 of the resistance coils power on when set on "high." I deduce that the high setting directs power through only 2/3 of the elements. That reduction in resistance increases current flow by 50% leading to more heat output. The low setting directs current through all of the heating element -- more resistance = less current and less heat. Therefore, if you notice that not all of the heating element is glowing on the high setting, your heater is probably working correctly. (The entire element will glow on low.)We had one of these things at home when I was a kid, and it came from my mom's girlhood home, meaning that it probably worked for at least 50 years. They "don't make things like they used to," but if mine lasts 20% as long as that one, I'll be satisfied.These parabolic heaters are actually ideal for projecting heat at one spot. They'll heat a small space with the oscillating feature, but that's not their best use. If you're looking to warm up 1 or 2 stationary people (watching TV, sitting at a desk, trading in bed) without wasting energy and money on heating everything in the room, this is the type of heater you want. If you're looking to heat an area in which folks will be moving frequently, there are better alternatives.

This product is labeled as a radiant heater, which normally means an infrared heater that heats only the objects nearby, rather than attempting to heat the room. Although technically (grammatically) it can be called a "radiant" heater, this is very misleading and contrary to the common usage (try Googling the term "radiant heater" to check this for yourself--the Google hits explain the dramatic energy savings from radiant heaters, by which they mean infrared). This will give you links to infrared heaters that save 40% of the electricity used by NOT doing space heating. This heater is actually a simple old-fashioned resistance-type heater that on low uses 700 watts. My true infrared radiant heater draws only 400 watts on low, making me equally warm without wasting heat trying to heat the entire room. I thoroughly checked the product description before I ordered, and there was not even a hint that this was an inefficient old-style heater packaged like an infrared heater. I decided that it was truly an infrared heater based on the alleged $60 list price, which would have been appropriate for an infrared heater, but certainly not for a simply resistance heater. The more expensive infrared heaters save far more than their purchase price in energy savings. I am returning the two heaters that I bought because of the very misleading labeling and claims regarding the list price.

Freakin awesome heater! Quiet, and gets very warm on the low setting. I like this so much better than heaters that have fans to blow heat. This silently radiates heat AND has an oscillating feature, which does create a small amount of noise. Highly recommend this for small areas

Very good

Works good as advertized

Not fully what I expected. I thought it had a fan that blows the heat outward. There is no fan. Does not fully heat my bedroom as hoped. Bought in case or power outage. Does not operate with the Battery pack/Solar Generator, I bought for it.

This heater was put to use during the Polar Vortex. It's an excellent product.

I was really excited to get this heater, because it doesn't use a fan so it's nice and quiet for my office. After it arrived, I let it burn off the residue by leaving it plugged in on my porch for a few hours, then started using it in my office. At this point it seemed to be great, and I would rate it 4-5 stars if it worked as well as it did this first day.Jump ahead to the next day, and it won't turn on. Or more accurately, it has its own opinion about when it'll allow itself to be turned turn on. Sometimes, it fires up immediately - other times, it seems like its completely broken, but out of blind faith I try leaving it on "low", and after a few hours it turns on. I've tried different outlets, and messing with the power switch, even a little bit of gentle adjustment of the cord, but no luck in any case. There's a shutoff switch underneath the bottom that'll cut the power if its tipped over. I think the issue might be related to that? In my case, its sitting on a solid floor, and messing with that button doesn't motivate the thing to turn on.Anyway, I'd suggest you consider a different product. This one might not keep you as warm as you'd like.
