Comfort Zone CZHVHTV9 400/800-Watt Oscillating Flat Panel Halogen Infrared Portable Heater, 7-Degree Oscillation, Adjustable Tilt, Overheat Sensor, Safety Tip-Over Switch, & Stay-Cool Housing, Black

These are silent and most importantly are safe because they do not draw 1500wats which will MELT your resceptical. I melted more than one by using other 1500 watt heaters. DON'T

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-

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.

Writing this review after one week of use. Quit heater. Provides perfect heating without any loud fan noise. cable is also long enough and good quality. Both heat mode(low & high) also have oscillation mode which is good for circulation of heat in all directions. Best part is the heat feels more natural than those forced dry air heaters.

SO the reasons I like this are: It turns with no noise at all, its small and effective for a small room no good for large room as I tried it, The two heat settings are 400w and 800w so economical, there is no noisy fan as it does not need one. It does not have a thermostat, but as its more of a personal heater than a room heater it does not really need one. I hope it lasts, only time will tell.
