I live in Michigan and it can get chilly. I love this tiny footprint heater that really kicks out the heat and keeps me nice and toasty! It also has great safety features and has a switch on the bottom to shut off if it gets tipped over. This is actually on the list of approved heaters by my corporate employer allowed in the office if I wanted to take it in. I sit on a ton of conference calls so a quiet heater is a must! This delivers great heat that is safe and quiet.
