I really like this heater because it has met all my expectations. I purchased it to heat my bedroom. It heats the room very well and I'm.always comfortable. I definitely use the two settings: low and high. No need for the fan option yet. It's easy to use and to pick up. It's not quiet but I got use to the sound. Its similar to white noise for me.. I've had other infrared red heaters and vaporizers that were louder. I've noticed that the house thermostat usually matches the temperature on the heater. I also noticed that the auto climate changes to the set temperature. It's cool to touch and it will turn off if tipped. Sometimes the cord does get warm but never hot. I only wish that I had the model with a remote control. This heater works well but the challenge will be when my daughter starts walking.
