Comfort Zone Oscillating Portable Space Heater, Flat Panel, Halogen, Infrared, Electric, Adjustable Tilt, Overheat Sensor, Stay-Cool, & Tip-Over Switch, Ideal for Home, Bedroom, & Office, 800W, CZHTV9

The Comfort Zone Oscillating Portable Space Heaters (purchased two) have worked out great in our large TV/entertainment room - very quiet & a single heater warms the room quickly on chilly days. This past Winter during the 'Polar Vortex' invasion we needed both of the heaters on opposite ends of the room. Note: This is a RADIANT heater, NO fan so it takes a while, maybe 45-60 minutes to take the chill off in the mornings; however, after the initial warming, it keeps the room very comfortable and shuts off periodically during the day.The description indicates the the heater has a 'tilt' function - as far as we've been able to determine IT DOES NOT TILT NOR DOES IT HAVE ANY MECHANISM (nor instructions) TO INDICATE A TILT FUNCTION. However, this has not been a concern and tbh I don't really see a need to have a tilt function!?!Would we buy again? Definitely!! It heats rapidly and with no fan it's ideal while watching TV and/or gaming.

Great for winter ..works well

Living in a 1920's house has it's drawbacks. One of them being icy breezes when its below zero outside. I have modern central heat but why heat up the whole town? I did already have a sappy 1500w convection heater but all it did was warm one side of my ankle while drying out my eyes with it's noisy fan. So I shopped around for an infared heater. I choose this one because it a) oscillates, b) is silent, c) is 2 feet tall. I needed something that would go under my computer desk and keep my whole side warm, not just my ankles. I admit this does the job nicely. Crank it to 800w to heat up the surroundings (about a half hour) then turn it down to 400w for the rest of the night. I had it a few nights now with temps outside dipping into the low 30's.Pros:- It's like an electric fireplace. Toasty!- It's cheap to buy and run.- It is totally silent.- It is tall, and with the oscillation going it will heat you from head to toe without burning you.Cons:- It's lights on high are about as bright as a 60w bulb, and on low about a 40w bulb. Granted it is a more pleasant warm sunset color light but it is very bright. You could never use this openly in a room facing you. It has to go under a desk, or at least facing a wall. You literally can't look into it more than a few seconds without going blind. This is why I gave it 4 stars.- It's very light and fragile feeling. Don't know how many years of use it will survive. I think if it is knocked over a few times it will break. However I can't ding it for that until it actually does break. I just spilled a drink on it and it is still going lol.Over all a good investment if you can place it in such a way as to not become blinded by it. :)

The halogen heater has a top mounted control panel. Settings include; Swing high (Oscillation 70 degrees; turns left and right with high heat), Swing low (Turns while on a low setting), off, low, and high. There is a power indicator light, which when in use, turns on. There are no digital displays.The glow of the light is seemingly subtle during the day (Not at all as bright as the image displayed, which is good), however I found it to be brighter than I would have liked when in use during the night. As an example; at night, you could read a book and not need any other lighting while the heater is on.Once the heater has been taken out of its box, the base of the product does require assembly. The assembly is basic. Two wing nuts will be used to tighten the base to the heater. No tools are necessary.Seconds after turning it on, the high setting: 800 watts can be felt (If it is positioned near and facing your direction). The same applies to when in use on a low setting, though the heat is not as strong.It operates quietly, and the structure/ surface remains cool while heating, however if it is in use for several hours, the structure will get warm, but it remains manageable to touch. I often use the indent in the back (the handle)to carry this product from one place to another.As a result of residual lubrication, there may be a brief initial odor (Only once, after you've received it, then plugged it in for a try). This is normal for new heaters. Within a minute, give or take, it is no longer an issue.It is a well-proportioned product; 12 x 6.3 x 23 inches.I don't believe this product is intended to heat a room, though I have noticed it does help maintain the room's temperature a bit, but then again, I have one of those open floor plans downstairs. I have yet to try it in an inclosed environment (like a small bedroom or bathroom). I will update this post when I do give it a go.It is very much like a personal heater. I often place it in front of the couch (roughly about two feet away, and can feel the heat very well. I have left it on for several hours at a time, and have had no problems with it.The overall quality is as I had hoped.Lee-
