Very cozy feeling. My son has "camped out" in the living room almost every night since we've had this. Worth mentioning again (although I believe description also says), there's no adjustable blower fan on the heater ~ only increments of 71, 75, 78, 82, 86, and 99*.  While the warmest setting may sound excessive, it certainly doesn't feel hot, or even overly warm in our 250 sq ft living room which partially opens to kitchen/dining area. For northern Michigan winters, this perfectly complements the forced air heat from our furnace.
