This heater does exactly what it says it would do. Especially in this cold weather, it's really been great. I love that it heats up rather quickly. I like to start it at 85° on high, it should warm up the room in a couple minutes. I usually leave it on high for an hour or two then change it to eco mode, 75° and set the timer for 8hours when I sleep. The timer option is my favorite because sometimes when I rush out of the house in the morning, it's one less thing to remember. I've forgotten to turn heaters off all the time. This comes with a small remote which I haven't even had the need for since I already set the timer for when it should turn off. But remotes are of course great for when I don't want to get out from under the cover. Tip: if you want to warm it up even faster, it's best to close the door for the room you're in.
