Amazon.com Review
Bask in instant penetrating heat with this large floor heater. Thanks to its patented MaxFlow fan system, the heater radiates immediate warmth without causing a draft, and because the case is slightly angled back, the heat is projected up and outward to warm an entire room. Two quartz elements glow red, alerting users that the front grill is hot and should not be touched. The heater can be set to low power (750 watts) or high (1500 watts), and the thermostat adjusted to a personal comfort level. At lower settings, the heater will cycle on and off to maintain the desired temperature. If accidentally knocked over or if overheating occurs, the heater instantly turns off. Despite measuring a generous 23 by 12 by 9 inches, the heater is lightweight and easily carried by one hand. Holmes covers this heater with a 6-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Summary: TOO NOISY 2008-11-02
Comment: I prefer quartz heaters over ceramic ones because they're normally much quieter - the quartz element radiates the heat almost silently. I was really disappointed by this heater because they have added an incredibly loud fan to the unit, one which you can't disable. When the thermostat turns on it is really loud, to the point that it distracts me if I'm reading. I can imagine it would also be a problem if you were trying to sleep in the same room with it. I returned it and bought a ceramic heater, it's less noisy than this one. Why doesn't anyone make a silent quartz heater anymore???

Summary: Had a Rattle on Carpet Until I Solved It 2008-10-22
Comment: For the money this is a great heater. The heat is radiant and penetrating and provides more deep-down warmth to a room than does a ceramic heater. I like the glow, which reminds me of a woodburning stove.
The initial rattle is nothing to be concerned about and it does go away in seconds. However, I had a lesser, continuing rattle when the heater was sitting on a carpeted floor. I took a thin cutting board with an extremely hard plastic surface to set the heater on on top of the carpet. That cured it! I was careful to keep an eye on it and make sure that the cutting board was not getting warm, starting to melt, etc. The cutting board was not impacted at all. In fact, it stayed surprisingly cool despite the heat being put out, even on a high setting.
The manual controls do not bother me. There is no digital temperature reading, which does not matter to me either. I don't think the thermostats on economical heaters are that accurate anyway. The thermostat does facilitate cycling on and off throughout the night while I am sleeping, which is what I am really after.
If I do hear it running in the night, I briefly think "aah, heat" and go back to sleep. If I do notice the glow, I briefly think "aah, nightlight" and go back to sleep.
There are more elaborate heaters out there for more money, but for what I have spent I am getting good, penetrating heat, and thanks to my cutting board it is rattle-free in a carpeted room.

Summary: Decent Investment 2008-10-08
Comment: After having purchased (and returned) a handul of different heating units, I purchased this unit last year from Wal-Mart for around $50. My original intention was to locate an inexpensive space heater that would heat a medium sized room and, at the least, heat me but I continued to find units that didn't live up to their marketing slogans, including the oft praised mica boards. Having almost given up, I decided to limit my scope to something that would at least heat my general direction. This heater is perfect for just such a cause (whereas the other heaters couldn't even do that well; in fact, I spent all night waiting for the mica board to do SOMETHING and was sorely disappointed).
PROS:
Heats up FAST. Consistent. Definitely warms you. Pleasing glow. Auto shutoff for overheat or tipping. PERFECT for a single or two-person family.
CONS:
Limited heating area - point and blast with this one, don't expect the entire room to feel heated. If the room is SMALLER, it can do that job, but a living room may feel lacking.
Loud - You may not mind the sound of this unit but if you're working on something requiring acute attention, this may bug you. In fact, the unit isn't that loud and I personally find it to have a pleasing hum, but some reviewers claim it's as loud as a race track - I'm sure they're being facetious.
I gave it three stars because it can't heat up a medium sized room. However, for its price, and for the consistently pleasing temperature it maintains, I would HIGHLY recommend this heater, ESPECIALLY for single and two-person households.

Comment: This heater works very well,throws off a good amount of heat for size.The only negative I have found so far is that the thermastat is not real accurate.Use 2 of these to heat a 24/24ft. area no problem.Would highly recommend!
