Amazon Basics Portable Oil Space Heater with Remote Control, 7 Oil-Filled Fins, Adjustable Thermostat, 3 Heat Settings, Tip-Over and Overheat Protection, ETL Safety Certificate, 1500W, Black

My room is small and has a very large window along with being located at the front of the house, so it’s the chilliest room in the house. Now that the weather keeps dropping lower and lower it’s gets almost too cold to sleep inside to the point where I have to layer up before going to bed. I have a small fan heater that I’ve been using, it works for the most part but the heat doesn’t remain, once you turn it off it goes right back to being very cold within 2-3 min and it only heats up one portion of the room. I was researching oil space heaters and found them to be much more superior to regular electric fan heaters. They take longer to heat up but the heat remains for quite a while even after turning it off. I was surprised to find this item for so cheap compared to its counterparts but lo and behold it works like a charm. Keeps me warm for hours and makes no sound. So in conclusion this is very good purchase for smaller to midsize rooms and I’d recommend just buying the mechanical version over the more expensive version it does the same thing.

This is a pretty good space heater. We put it in our kid’s room since there’s a bit of a chill in there when it gets cold outside. Has three settings: I, II, and III; plus a dial. It works well on II turned to minimum. I’ve put it mid-way between min and max and it gets too warm in his room. This will be the second year we’re using it. It works so well, I bought another one this year for my college student! For the price point, it’s definitely a good buy for a bedroom. Safe, warm- but not too hot to the touch; not very wide, so space-saving.

This heater puts out the heat!! My bedroom is pretty good size, and I have glass french doors out to the balcony, and this heater keeps the room nice a toasty in cold weather. Easy to set up, easy to use. Only complaint is temp control, even on the lowest power setting, it will crank out the heat, and it has a thermostat control, but with no markings at all, so it's a guessing game and you just have to play with it till you find the setting that's best for you. It's sturdy, and while it's tall, it doesn't feel like it want's to tip easily. Not good for around kids, this thing is HOT anywhere other than the handle on the front panel, and we all know kids can't keep their hands off anything!

This is a terrific room heater for me. Small 12 X 12 room. Easy set up, reliable, quiet and warming! Have small cottage with 1 zone heat. Bedroom on chilly side. Nice to warm bedroom into 70's without heat bills to heat rest of home (1200 sq ft.). Not a rapid heater but definitely consistent ! Bring into bathroom 1/2 hrs before shower and have a cozy, warm place to dry off. ! Feel confident and very easy to move from room to room ! At this price am thing about buying another one! Can't go wrong with peace of mind!

Not sure why anyone would even keep these, I suppose in a very specific use case they could be fine, but the specifications are not correct and the terrible thermostat makes any reasonable temperature control impossible. The maximum amount of power this unit will draw is only about 900 watts, not 1500 W as is specified. I had multiple units shipped to me, as Amazon said they were defective, and each performed exactly the same. This leads me to believe that it is not in fact defective, but inherent design flaws or rampant and unacceptable levels of manufacturing flaws. All units pulled a maximum of just a little less than 900 watts on hi no matter what conditions I subjected them to. The unit just isn't capable of being set to heat at 1500 watts. The low setting is even lower, likely around 500 from my testing, though the low setting was not at all useful to me, so I did very limited testing. The other major issue, and really only other thing that can be wrong with something this simple, is the thermostat. It's supposed to turn on and off as it detects the temperature in the room fluctuating outside of the temperatures you have set. The thermostat however does not work at all and seems to just randomly display temperatures and come on. If it is an actual thermostat it is comedicly awful, to the point of being completely worthless to even have in the unit. I did extensive testing and the range of it's accuracy seems to be around plus/minus 6 degrees F when the unit is not on. This doesn't seem all that bad except for two important factors, the first being that the unit seems to allow a plus/minus three degree difference from the set temperature before turning on/off. Meaning your room could be as much as 9 degrees colder than you would like before the heater comes on, and heat to as much as 9 degrees over that temperature...well, if it weren't for the terrible thermostat that is. Once you factor the thermostat in the range is closer to plus minus 14 degrees F. However this detects temperature, the heating of the unit itself drastically effect the thermostat reading. In as small 110 sq. ft. room I used this and it started out reading 6 degrees f lower than the actual room temperature on a NIST traceable thermometer. In a matter of less than 15 minutes of being turned on high the unit reported it had raised the room temperature 14 degrees based on it's thermostat. The NIST traceable thermostat registered a 2 degree rise. The unit turned off and continued to cycle, eventually heating the room to 63 degrees after multiple hours of going back and forth between the thermostat reading 57 and 71. The temperature I had it set to was originally 65. At that setting it only heated the room to 60 degrees. I had to turn the unit all the way up to 75 to get it to heat the small room up to 63, while it read anywhere between 57 and 71. At no point did the unit pull more than 890 watts. After an entire 10 hours, even that small of a room never heated to 65. Meanwhile another radiator heater I have heated a room almost 3 times that size to 65 in less than 2 hours, and kept it within plus/minus 1 degree of the set temperature. The thermostat readings on that heater were within plus minus 2 at all times, and it pulled 1500 watts multiple times. I live in southern California, and the nighttime low was in the low 40s when I was running these tests. Subsequent heaters that were sent performed pretty much exactly the same. The design is awful, and the specifications are complete lies. There is no use case for this product, and no chance you will be happy with it unless you want a 900 w heater that doesn't have a working thermostat. I'm extremely disappointed in the product and the time I wasted trying to get it to work. Don't waste your time.

I feel kinda duh. Is this what my last radiator was supposed to perform like? OmG this thing heats up fast and temp and remote works like a dream! Wow that last company reeeeally really "got me" I guess. Yah, this thing heats just like you set the 1-click remote to, heats up fast, not one ounce of issue for me. It does the job that the last brand radiator I had never did on its best day ever. It now sits at the dumpster, barely 15 total uses over 2 winters and a waste of money. I see they are still selling that radiator too. Eek! Don't waste your money on the others. This thing: Fast. Hot. Follows remote settings. Heats huge room here using LO setting only. Buttons all connect and work great and no knobs! This is the digital version with remote and blue lights on screen all the time plugged in. So happy I saw this. I won't be getting any other brand than this ever again.
