it's most certainly cheaper than having my forced air gas furnace kicking in all the time.
from www.amazon.com
if the air is real cold this means that the side toward the heater will be warm the other side cold.

from www.amazon.com
it does generate minor sound due to the heated air being forced by the fan, but it is soothing, and in fact serves as a nice replacement for external sounds coming from outside the room being heated

Honeywell Digital Oil-Filled Radiator

from www.amazon.com
the hot air rising through the channels causes the cold air from the floor areas to be sucked up the channels, gaining momentum and actually acting like a fan that really pushes the heated air up

from www.amazon.com
it is really nice to not have something making noise and forcibly blowing hot air in one's face.
from www.amazon.com
doesn't dry out the air like the fan heaters, and totally quiet.
from www.amazon.com
i think it's great for a small office or any space where you can close it off from any colder incoming air.
from www.amazon.com
both worked as described right out of the box with little noise or drying effect of the air you get with other types of radiating floor heaters (the ones with fans built-in).

Honeywell HZ519 Baseboard

$109.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i am very happy with the product and have had a few other honeywell products (air-cleaners, programmable thermostats) and they all worked really well.
from www.amazon.com
the heater than kicks in if the specified temperature higher than that of the ambient air and turns itself off when the air reaches specified temperature.
from www.amazon.com
it seems to draw cold air from the floor, and move it out the top of the unit.
from www.amazon.com
it would be nice if it had one of those newer protective plugs like air conditioners and hair dryers use that cut the power if there is an electrical problem.
from www.amazon.com
this unit does a good job of taking the chill out of the air.

Honeywell LineVoltPRO 8000 7-Day Programmable

from www.amazon.com
the best thing about this model ceramic heater is that it has a serious ~5-inch fan in the back that draws air through the heating element and literally pushes it out the front, which makes it very
from www.amazon.com
i need to be warm, not have hot air blown on my body), just a little extra heat when i need it.
from www.amazon.com
i've got a few honeywell air purifiers at home working, so i stuck with this manufacturer for this purchase.
from www.amazon.com
the problem is after the initial gust of warm air (which works perfectly) the second, third and so on gust has a hard time coming on.
from www.amazon.com
don't waste your time on this piece of junk forced-air honeywell heater.

Lasko 6410 Ceramic

$54.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.walmart.com
it radiates warm air w/o the noise of shutting off and on.
from www.walmart.com
i think this is a plus.i would recommend this heater for people that do not want to turn on the central air-heat for the whole house and need a good heater for usually used rooms in the house.
from www.walmart.com
the oscillating feature allows the warm air to distribute across the room.
from www.amazon.com
other than that this is a great little heater, which doesn't dry out the air and is quiet.
from www.amazon.com
the oscillation was not a selling point for me, it is a nice touch to help disperse the heat slightly, but i use the ceiling fan in the room to keep the air evenly warm...

from www.amazon.com
yes, it has little idiosyncrasies you have to get used to like randomly sampling the air temperature to see if it needs to come on or not.
from www.amazon.com
the only thing i don't like is the fact that this it has a fan, and can oscillate, but you can't just have the fan blow air...
from www.amazon.com
the air is not scorching hot from 10 feet away, but in a colder room (67deg or less) it feels great.
from www.amazon.com
otherwise it'll bring cold air to you.
from www.amazon.com
it doesn't matter whether it is oscillating or not the fan's air has a cool draft-like feel to it.

from www.amazon.com
(we tried the holmes quartz tower heater (hqh307) but that only heated the air right in front of the machine and was super loud.)
from www.amazon.com
we don't understand why it is colder since it was an addition, attached to the main central air /forced air heating unit, is actually better insulated with more up-to-date windows, but is about 6
from www.amazon.com
because of how well it circulates air, i also use it as a regular fan during the summer.
from www.amazon.com
i have owned a few of these hot air fan heaters and this is by far the best.
from www.amazon.com
at the hi setting there was just the barest zephyr of warm air coming out, perhaps the unit was defective.

we have a 700 square foot finished basement which is heated by both forced hot air from the propane furnace and an 8 foot baseboard heater.
from www.amazon.com
you simply choose hotter or less hot air.
from www.amazon.com
it seems like it takes the temp off the heater itself instead of the ambient air temp of the room.

i live in northern az with outside air temps down into the mid teens at night in winter.
from www.amazon.com
there is a timer, two heat settings, keep warm setting, and even a summer air circulation function, but no remote control.
from www.amazon.com
it moves a lot of air but doesn't necessarily heat the area.
from www.amazon.com
it is solidly constructed, and the fan moves a good amount of air without being too loud.

DeLonghi DCH4590ER

$53.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
unlike other reviewers, i have no problem with the fan noise -- it's a small unit and has to "blow" the air -- not terribly loud, but noticeable, definitely not a deterrent for us.
from www.amazon.com
its rotating function is important since this helps to spread the hot air over a wider area and prevents formation of concentrated stagnant dry air that hurts your nose.
from www.amazon.com
for the amount of noise it makes, you would think though that it would move more air, as the fan is very weak.
