Good heater, counterintuitive control

Safe
Cons
Awkward controls
Best Uses
Bedroom
Comment:
It works fine. <br /><br />You can use the control panel to set it to a thermostat or timer-off mode. However, the button sequence you have to push to do this is counterintuitive, and the display is difficult to read.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I bought this product based on the excellent recommendations from Consumer Reports. After a couple of weeks of frustration, I am returning it. This heater has a thermostat that is completely worthless. It either doesn't turn on during frigid temperatures or will overheat the room to the tune of some 10-15 degrees.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice Honeywell Space Heater (paid approx $50 on Amazon)
12/03/2007
Strength
Noiseless, Variable Settings, Nice Safety Features, Consumer Reports Best Buy
Weakness
Doesn't Warm Room Quickly Enough, 3-4 Ft Long, Display Not Backlit
Good buy. Can set it for continuous run, run for specific time limit, or run by thermostat. Noiseless because radiant heat, no fan. Although, takes a while to warm the room because no fan. Safety features include overheat protection and tip-over switch. CR rated as best buy for quiet, whole room heating. Would have liked to have lighting for the display.

Good Heater
11/29/2007
Strength
Nice heat, excellant features
Weakness
It's 3-4 feet long
I just bought this heater at the beginning of Nov-2007 for 60 dollars with free shipping from Amazon. I have had it for two weeks and it is costing me 12 cents an hour to run it. I was just going to order two more, one for a gift and one for me and I went back to Amazon and saw that the price jumped to 150 dollars plus shipping. I can't find it anywhere online for less than 140 dollars which sucks. I would suggest purchasing the HZ515 model instead for 35 dollars from Amazon, much cheaper and the only difference is it doesn't have a backlit panel. The box was labeled with a Home Depot sticker, so maybe it can be found there for less than 150 dollars.
