I love how this heater displays the room temperature and you can set it for the temperature you choose for it to kick on. Another nice feature is the option to choose a setting of either High, medium or auto. I like the auto feature the most because I can just set it and if it gets a degree below where I set it, it will automatically turn on without having to mess with it. So far it keeps my two bedroom apartment temp regulated without having to use my furnace heat and if the electric were to ever go out, I’ll be able to plug it into a battery generator if I need to. The wood casing has never gotten hot and it has a cooling off feature that blows cooler air for a few minutes after running the heat. It’s a beautiful little heater and the price was nice!
