This heater does a fantastic job! I live in an older home built in the 30's. The insulation is not so good. The living area I have been heating is about 800 sq ft. I purchased 2 of these heaters and could not be more pleased.

Last year I used a gas log fireplace along with a central heating unit. I was still cold, so I purchased a ceramic room heater. It ran all the time and there was still a chill in the room. For the last 2 months, I turn the logs on and get the temp up to about 74 then turn off the logs. I turn heaters on and they go as the stand alone heat source for most of the day. The temp stays at about 70. I don't need any type of humidifier to moisten the air, it is just a comfortable, warm heat. I have hardly used any heating fuel and the electric bill is extremely reasonable. I can't recommend this unit enough. I have pets and no problem there either. It gets warm to the touch, but not dangerously so. They are sturdy units and haven't tipped over nor do I fear they will. I am going to save a lot of money on heating my home this winter and I'm going to be a whole lot warmer in the process. Give this heater a try, you won't regret it!
