Holmes HFH5606-U Oscillating Power Heater Fan

I was not very happy with the shipping of this item. Part of the address was ommitted which made it very hard to get to me and was almost returned because of it. Also, it was packaged very poorly. The heater itself is fine and is working well, really like the oscillation!

This is my first heater so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it works fine so far. They turn up the AC rediculous at work so I keep this puppy under my desk, it keeps my feet really warm in sandals, but keeps even my upper body warm enough to forego covering up my summer outfits with a sweater. It is nice for the price in having multiple settings. I don't use the high or the oscillation because of the noise, but on low it is plenty warm enough and quiet. I find that if I leave it on the thermostat for low/80, I still can get cold when it shuts off so I switch to just low and it will stay on until you shut it off, then I get too hot sometimes and switch back to thermostat.

I was looking at a slightly cheaper Boston heater somewhere else and I think it was like only 1 yr warrenty or maybe less I forget, but more than one review said after a year or so the fan would break so I picked this to get the 3 year warrenty.

I absolutely love this heater. I am going on my second winter with this heater- and it stills works perfectly. I have tried other heaters- this by far is the best. Yes its small and doesn't have a remote, but the power is amazing. It heats up a small room in very little time. My favorite thing about this heater is that there is a fan in it that blows the heat outward - that way you can actually feel it if you are sitting near it. It does the job.

Not an outstanding product, but not bad either. IT does the job. The oscillation is good

Heat output is good, however, I was disappointed in this heater. It usually takes 10-12 pushes of the single button to set the thermostat. Also, the thermostat is calibrated too low. Temperature stays too low even at the highest (80) setting.
