Amazon.com Product Description
Equipped with Ecosave Technology, this Eco-Smart Power energy-saving heater fan automatically cycles between 1,500 and 1,000 watts, using 25-percent less energy than traditional heaters. The unit features a high-resistive coil element that heats up as electricity passes through it. A fan blows the hot air around the element out into the room. For peace of mind, a watt-saver timer automatically shuts the heater off after four hours to prevent accidentally leaving it on. The heater will also shut-off automatically if it starts to overheat or if it accidentally gets tipped over. These safety features combined with powerful performance make the unit an ideal choice for use in any room of the house. The 1500-watt heater fan measures 12-2/5 by 7-4/5 by 14-2/5 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

Decent space heater
This heater does a nice job heating a small area. It's pretty quiet and the fan forced output is about what you'd expect from a fan set on "slow". Doesn't get hot to the touch. A little top heavy, falls over with very little help, but shuts itself off. Heat proximity breaker takes 30 minutes to reset, that's too long.

The automatic switching between 1000W and 1500W works, but it really needs an obvious manual LO/HI switch (it says three speeds in the writeup, I found two?). The switch to disable eco-save mode leaves it set at 1500W, which is too high on a shared bathroom circuit. Trips our house GFI breaker at least once every couple weeks, seems to be something to do with the tip-over shutoff.

Very Quiet
I'm was surprised to find that this unit does not have a thermostat or power level settings, like the Holmes heater that it replaced after 5+ years of use. The new unit is extremely quiet and heats space very quickly. Only time will tell how energy efficient the unit is, but this unit does not dim the lights like the old unit when in use. So it appears it's energy usage is less. So far, I would say that these are great space heaters.

Alright ~ Gonna buy another one
I bought this loud thing at Target before I saw it on line here at Amazon. I thought it worked great; especially since it fell over often, dimmed the lights every time it came on, and tripped the breaker several times. I really like the warmth and the safety tip over auto shutoff feature ~ Safety First! It lasted a couple of years before frying two separate outlets (wall, UPS battery back up system) and later a third (power strip w/ surge protection) with a horrid electrical smell and the cord could have caught fire had I not been monitoring it.

NEVER LEAVE ANY SPACER HEATER PLUGGED IN OR UNATTENDED;
I never did and I never will ~ I don't care who makes it!
