We replaced an older electric heater with this convection heater in our basement family room. This convection heater does a very nice job of keeping the room toasty. It makes absolutely no 
 noise while it is running. Not only does it do a great job heating up the room but it also saved quite a bit of energy. I plugged a kilowatt meter into it to see how much energy was actually used and it was amazing how much less it used versus our old electric heater. We will definitely buy one more of these for an office area that also stays cool .
