This is a great heater/fan for the size. It warms up the family room very quickly and I can't believe how quiet it is! It is easy to use and stays relatively cool to the touch. The only downfall I found, and I'm not even sure it this is really a downfall, is that the safety turnoff for if the fan is tipped over is very sensitive. All it took to turn it off was my dog walking close to it and it tripped the safety and turned it off. It didn't even tip over. Like I said, it's not even a downfall, more of an annoyance. All in all, I really like this heater and it works very well for it's intended purpose!
