Works well... but no tip-over safety switch
Just purchased this (Lowe's $38) and used it last night. I've used various (all ceramic) models over the years and was very pleased with this one - - planned to return to Lowe's for a second unit and was checking prices on Amazon. Will now be exchanging it for the tower version of this model (didn't realize it featured a multi-function remote) which received great reviews here. The oscillator works well (90 degrees side to side).
NOTE: despite the claim here of an internal tip-over switch (not stated on the carton) this unit will not shut off until the overheat sensor activates. I did not wait for that to occur as I tipped the running unit over backwards, forwards and each side - - the only difference was reduced air output on its back (since the carpet was blocking the fan's air input) and higher temp setting when tipped forward (as the temp+ button contacted the carpet).
Bottom Line: had I not found a more desirable alternative, or preferred a shorter unit, I would...
This small space heater helps the small areas
I ordered this product because it has Energy Star and ECO Energy setting. It also has a remote so when I'm ready to turn off the light to go to sleep I can simply turn it off without getting up again. It's not the warmest heater ever, but that's probably because I use the "Eco" button to save energy. It heats my small bathroom adequately, but not my small bedroom. Still, it works perfectly well and has a nice variety of settings. DeLonghi DCH5090ER Safeheat 1500W Digital Ceramic Heater with Remote Control and Eco Energy Setting - Gray/Black
Works great
We live in a drafty old house that was built in 1855. The kitchen is freezing! 63 when the rest of the house is at 71. The heater runs a lot in the kitchen during the day, but keeps us comfortable. I use it in my daughters drafty bedroom at night and it shuts off when the temp is reached so she's not overheated! $10 rebate going on through Jan. 31, 2013 too. Good price for what you get. My parents have been happy with the one they bought too.
