Comment:
We use this in our living room that is poorly heated using our HVAC system. This is where my 13 month old daughter plays. The unit heats well, but makes loud clicking noises when heating. KAZ (The manufacturer) customer service said this is wrong as it shoudl be silent, so told me to PAY for SHIPPING to send to them for repair and send money for them to ship it back to me! Store where I purchased does not have anymore. I guess I see why...

A month or less

Comment:
We use this space heater in my son's 12X14 foot room. The space heater does a fairly good job of heating the entire room and is extremely quiet. On the downside, the space heater only has 4 settings (basically setting the temperature at 65F, 70F, 75F, or 80F). I would have preferred to be able to adjust the temperature settings one degree at a time.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

The heater worked well for a large living room with ~30-50 degree outside temps. But it stopped working entirely after about 7 weeks. We'll have to pay to send it back for repairs.
