I stay in New England and we had back to back winter storms yesterday and today. We have centralized heating in our apartment and sometimes, thats not enough to keep the apartment warm enough for our newborn. This is a slim profile tall heater and can be easily mounted on the wall. It heats up quickly and the heat, being convection, is gentle and soothing. Also, I don't have to place it to face me. I can place it in any corner and the whole room heats up gradually. The included stand keeps it up and sturdy and the option to add the included wheels is neat. Doesnt look too bad either and the best thing is its super quiet, so my baby can sleep without any disturbances - from the cold or from noise.
