From a distance it doesn’t feel like it’s blowing hot air it’s more warm air. Up close I can tell it’s warm/hot air. Still quite nice and I can tell there is a difference between the settings. 

Small so definitely not going to heat up a whole room even if it’s small room but benefit is that it’s portable. Has an edge to hold/lift. A bit heavy. 

I’d probably still recommend it but depends on the situation.
