Our heater went out on a Friday evening and we had to wait over 4 days for someone to come and fix it. Most do not understand how cold it gets in Las Vegas in the winter, but of course this was a weekend where we had actual snow warnings, so it was 33 degrees all weekend and the children were freezing! This space heater did the trick! Everyone was toasty warm and it heated a huge space and even made it comfortable enough in the bedroom behind the living-room for a few to crawl into bed and keep warm on those cold nights. Thanks so much, we love our new heater!
