I normally don’t write reviews, I was very pleased with cute heater. The heater works amazingly, well for its size. It heats up very quickly and provides consistent warmth without being loud. Perfect for a desk, bedroom, or small space. I love how compact it is while still putting out plenty of heat. Easy to use and feels well made. I would definitely, recommend this to anyone needing a reliable small heater. If the heater is knocked over, it will automatically turn off.

This mini space heater has made chilly office days much more comfortable. It heats up quickly and provides a noticeable warmth without being overpowering. The compact size makes it easy to keep on my desk without taking up much space, and it fits perfectly under a shelf or near my feet. The controls are simple and intuitive, so adjusting the heat is effortless. It also feels sturdy for its size, and the safety features give peace of mind when running it for longer periods. The ceramic design seems efficient, providing steady warmth without using excessive energy. Overall, this portable heater is a practical and reliable solution for keeping my workspace cozy, especially during colder months. It’s small but powerful enough to make a real difference.

Mighty little beast! This heater warms up a room as well as a much larger space heater I already had. This one, however, doesn’t have the nasty smell when I first turn it on like my other one. This one is cute, quiet and quickly warms me up. It auto-stops when I pick it up to move it, which is a nice safety measure. Great purchase!

(Update) I'm warming up to it now having moved it from underneath my desk to another place to the side. I've actually moved it a couple of places around my place and it's kind of becoming my new best friend. I do appreciate the safety feature underneath it that way if it falls forward it won't continue to operate. I do stand by my suggestion that they put graduating heat settings on it rather than just the one setting, but I understand for the price point that's what you're going to get. The biggest suggestion I could make, if they were to create a new model, would be to move where they OFF and ON button is because it's on the back, down at the bottom in the center, so you literally have to turn around the heater which means touching it and getting close to the heat to turn it off. I considered returning it before but it's proving to be useful and for the price point and the energy saving at 500 watts, you can't beat it. But again, this heater will probably get too hot to be placed right by your feet like say you're trying to hide it in an office space. In other words; it puts off a great deal of heat so depending on where you need to place it and whether or not you need it to be discreet and really close, or you're looking for something that puts off more heat that you can use to heat a small space will determine if this is the right heater for you. It is a good little heater that puts off a good amount of heat, and it's relatively quiet. My previous review titled, "One Setting - HOT"... This is a great little 500 watt heater puts off a tremendous amount of heat, so if you wanted to use this for a small space sitting it far away from you, this would be a great heater, and I highly recommend it for that situation. But in close proximity on top of your desk, or under your desk (which is what I needed for my feet because I have a desk placed in a cold corner of my house), you're going to get overwhelmed with heat. The other bad thing is; there's only one very heat setting, AND the button is on the BACK of the heater at the bottom, so you literally have to put your hand all the way around it to turn it around and turn it off. Ergonomically, it would be much better placed on top or on the side for easy access. Having a LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH setting with a more conveniently placed placed ON and OFF button would take this heater from good, to out of this world.

This is nice and small and hides well under my desk in my cold office! It’s quiet and shuts off if tips over at all. When I unplug it, it’s hot to the touch only on the faceplate and only for a minute or less so easy to put away.

I'm not sure why there are so many bad reviews about this small heater. It clearly states in the title that it is a desk heater. It is designed for personal use at your desk or at your chair. It is NOT designed to heat an entire room. You can place it on top of your desk, or under your desk for added heat. I like it because it's small/compact, lightweight, and can easily be moved from my reading chair to my computer desk. I use it on a side table or on my desk to give me some added heat during cold spells. It works just fine for that. Yes, you can hear the fan running, but unless you are going to be in a zoom call or talking on a phone, the noise does not interfere with anything. It does have a plastic case, so I would be careful not to bang it around. My only complaint would be that the on-off button is in the back. I would have preferred it be on top for easy accessiblity.

So I love my personal space heaters. I had one like this years ago and I gave it away when I left my office job. I was excited to find this again for sure. What I like......... 1. The size is great, it doesn't take up much space and is nice looking. 2. This is super quiet ALMOST silent so it's not disturbing at all. 3. It does have a safety button underneath to shut it off just incase it tips over. 4. The cord is a generous length 5. The heat is very very hot. I didn't take a temp reading but it's hotter than my bigger ones. 6. Even brand new there is no burning smell while it's running. 7. There is a nice subtle red indicator light on the right side to let you know it's powered on. What I don't care for...... 1. Safety. While it does have the shutoff tip option, the front grill is metal and not plastic like my other heaters. The metal gets HOT and is enough to burn you if it's touched. This is especially bad if children use this. 2. There are not temp settings which means no dial to control anything BUT I understand because it's a cheap heater. Just putting it out there. 3. The power switch is on the back of the unit. This is fine for turning it on but after the front grill is lit up and burning hot you then burn your fingers because you need 2 hands to spin it and shut it off. If the button was on the top it would be fine. 4. Air flow is not very strong being it's only 1 speed but as I said in #5 above the heat is hotter than others I've had so it's a trade off. Recommendation: This is for older teenagers and adults and great for sitting at your keyboard to keep your hands warm. This will not heat up a room. Small children should NOT use this. The front grill is too much of a burn hazard on skin. If you are cold at work in your office this is perfect because no one will see or hear it. You just have to hope you don't pop the breaker from the amp draw. I would buy it again for ME but I won't be getting one for my daughter. It's not meant for kids.

At first I was skeptical, but this is the best bang for your buck. it works perfectly for small spaces like an office desk. It’s also quiet so it’s not disruptive in an open office setting. The only con is you can’t control the heat or the fan speed, but there really isn’t a need in an indoor office setting.

I recently got the Amazon Basics Ceramic Space Heater, Mini Heater, and we’ve been using it both on our camping trips and in one room in our basement. It really helps with the cold weather, providing quick and consistent warmth wherever we need it. The heater is compact and lightweight, making it easy to move around and set up in different locations. Despite its small size, it heats the space efficiently and keeps the room cozy without using too much power. Overall, this mini heater has been very practical and reliable. Whether we’re camping or just trying to warm up a chilly room at home, it does the job well and makes cold days much more comfortable.

Gran opción para no pasar frio sin embargo no calienta grandes áreas es mas personal, poner a tus pies en tu escritorio o tu sala, en una mesa al lado de la cama etc pero no calentará una habitacion

I keep my guinea pig cage on the floor where unfortunately there's a bit of a draft and im in canada so it can be a little chilly.This heater is just the right size and blows enough warm air to keep my munchkin happy till the summer months come.It will heat an entire room too,it just takes a little longer.its quiet and easy to use.My piggies feet haven't been cold since I started using the heater at night for her.Happy and under 30 bucks too.

Calienta muy poco pero es bonito

When I read the other reviews I was a bit worried, but I didn't need an expensive wild heater. I live in a basement in Toronto which is cold and damp. This little heater was purchased to warm a corner to keep my reptile nice and toasty. Which it does! BUT! It also takes the chill out of the air, and surprisingly, contradictory to other reviews does in fact warm the rest of my room. Nothing drastic but it's clearly a very powerful little heater. I don't run it for long periods of time, and hour or two at a time, so it hasn't died and I can't speak to that but I would never run it for longer than that. There is no temperature control, only hot! If this was under a desk I would imagine your toes would be kept very warm but the heat doesn't go very far, when compared to blasting. Just in general it warms. The smell that people are talking about I also experienced, but the label does warn of that. It isn't anything to worry about, and goes away after a few uses. It does recommend using in a well ventilated area the first time to eliminate headaches. It's a chemical smell, I believe the label said it was from sanitizing the product. The cancer warning.. is because products must include those in the state of California. Unless you were planning on eating the thing, you will be alright. In summation, I love this heater. It keeps my large space a bit warmer, warms smaller spaces well. No heat control but is gets hot! Smell goes away, cancer warning for legal purposes.
