Safety:
Safety indicates results of tests for contact-surface temperatures, safety controls, the likelihood the heater will create a fire hazard, and cord length.

Strength
Provides instant heat, easy to use, and efficient in that You can program a temperature and it will shut off automatically
Weakness
Doesn't seem to disperse the heat very well away from the unit
Overall, I'm satisfied with this heater although it works much better in smaller rooms. The heater seems to kick off some good heat but doesn't seem to disperse the heat very far away from the unit. I have noticed, however, that when I do program a temperature, the unit does kick off after a short duration which would make you believe the room has hit the desired temperature.
