Gaiatop Mini Space Heater, Lightweight PTC Ceramic Fast Heating 500W Energy Efficient for Indoor Use, Overheating & 45° Tip-Over Protection, Portable Desk Electric Heaters for Office Home Black

Perfect desk heater, sits on my desk and is so warm. It feels very safe having it on my desk because it is so easy to position and automatically turns off if you try to move it. It works really well. Sometimes, heaters have a weird smell, and this one doesn't - it really works great.

I bought this heater about a year ago because the office space I'm in is very cold during fall and winter. It's an open space with many other people. The outside door is about 10 feet away, and every time people go in and out, I get hit with more cold air. I needed a little heater for my desk that would not affect any of my coworkers but would also ensure I don't freeze to death. This one has been perfect. It warms up whatever it's pointed at--hands or body--but does not heat up anything outside of the space I'm in so it doesn't bother my coworkers. (It's an open space, so it can't do much more than that.) I usually sit with my coat on my lap like a blanket and the heater on my desk pointed at my hands or torso. The desk it sits on does not get hot or even warm. The safety feature turns it off immediately if you accidentally tip it over. It's not silent but not terribly loud or intrusive to where it would bother the people around me. I'd say it's marginally quieter than a fan or air purifier on high. It does give off that that "new heater smell" when you use it the first time, so beware. I've had it for about a year or so now and am very, very pleased. I've recommended it to lots of people who are in a similar situation and need a little heater to keep them from turning into an ice cube at work.

Puts out a good amount in heat in a little box! Got it for a small bathroom and we had to turn it off a few times because the bathroom was so warm! No smells. Does turn off when tipped over and safety button activated. No issues. Easy to love room to room - weighs very little!

Good tiny heater that fits anywhere on my desk. Can sit under my monitor with room to spare, and doesn't take up too much space if I want to move it around to direct the heat flow. Roughly 5"x5"x2.5". Puts out plenty of heat and a good steady airflow. Heats up my hands quickly, and if it's too hot, moving it a few inches back evens it out nicely. The housing stays cool to the touch, so it's easy to move it frequently. The narrow airflow might not be ideal for some, but it mostly meets my needs. I use it to keep warm air flowing over my hands and desktop items such as my keyboard and mouse, without overheating me or my office. It does provide some extra warmth to the space, though, which is not unwelcome. Used in combination with thin "arthritis" compression gloves, it lets me keep the chill off my hands working from home without heating up the whole house. The fan puts out some noise, but it's a nice, low-pitched hum. I can barely hear it if I put on my headset (even with no sound playing) or if I leave the room, though I don't plan to leave it running when I'm not in front of it. If I do, though, I don't need to worry about the cats knocking it over. It's quite stable, and there's a very active safety switch that cuts it off if it's tilted less than half an inch off the desk. No off or "burning" smells, even on first use. The cord is long enough to reach a wall outlet, but I wouldn't mind if it was a little longer, since it recommends only being used with an extension or power strip that can carry the full wattage of the circuit, despite only requiring 500W itself. This makes it difficult to plug in alongside other desktop items, so if your desk isn't right next to a spare wall outlet, you might want a dedicated extension cord for it. The main drawback is that it's on-or-off only, no control over the heat level or fan speed. This is mostly not an issue, since it only throws hot air a couple of feet, and is warmest inside the first foot or so. Just point it where you want the heat. Again, this could be a pro or a con, depending on your use case -- this is very much a single-person, highly directed heater. If you just have cold feet or hands, it should warm them up without warming up everything and everyone around you. Although this could bump a small office with a closed door a couple of degrees, I would only buy this as a desk heater.

This mini space-heater works wonders. I use it on my desk at woke to keep my warm. I have a corner window desk on the 8th floor and with the winter that we've had in NYC, this was very much needed. I do recommend. I use it sometimes too, when the AC is too cold. Perfect size, not bigger than my computer speaker. It's also safe. The only downside is that there's only an off and on switch. No adjustment but doesn't take away from its effectiveness.

This little heater is awesome. I travel a lot for work and the rooms where I work can be on the cold side. I carry this heater in my work backpack. It has an on/off switch and a safety button on the bottom that shuts the heater off if it tilts for any reason. It runs pretty quietly. The frame around the fan does not feel hot when using the machine so I can quickly pack it in my backpack. It was a great purchase and it definitely makes work or home conditions more comfortable.

Awesome little heater without the danger! Gets pretty hot up close and is great for smaller spaces. I've used it in a tent and i've used it in my small bedroom in a trailer , and with a little time , it actually makes the room a little too warm for me. I mainly bought this to use outdoors in a tent to keep cats warm in the winter and also for use in a bathroom or a small bedroom and it works great also has the shut off button on the bottom in case of tip over. I've kept one outside on my deck with a small cookie sheet over it to direct heat and protect from the rain and have kept it going for months at a time , and it is still just fine.

Bought this for my daughter to use while getting ready at her vanity. This little things puts out the right amount of heat to keep you warm. And its cute.
