I have been using this heater for about a week now. It is perfect timing, it's just getting cold here and I'm not ready to turn on my furnace yet. I really like this heater. I like the smaller size. I like the look and design of it as well. It is programmable to the temperature in degrees which is much better than other heaters that can be only turned to high or low. The vornado also heats my room quickly. This heater really does stay cool to the touch which is a must for me because I have small children. It also has an automatic shut off if it gets tipped over. It is very quiet. This heater heats my room better and more evenly than a tall oscillating heater that I have which really only heats the air around the heater. I am very surprised how well this heater works. Even better is that it is made in the USA! Great!
