" ... I like that this heater is simple to use, but it has a weird high-pitched rattling sound when it's running - almost like something is loose inside, which is weird because I just got it and never dropped it or anything. ... "
" ... Makes a high pitched noise like a piercing whine. ... "
" ... - Fan is loud, even on low ... I was immediately surprised how noisy the fan was, and concerned that it would bother my cubicle neighbors. ... Then after only a minute or so, I was mortified to hear a high pitched whine coming from the heater! ... "
" ... Some folks say it is a little noisy. ... "
" ... It is a little noisy. ... "
" ... But now it's just broken and leaves the heater on all the time, and now it's starting to make some noises so I threw it away. ... "

" ... I THINK IT'S A GREAT SAFETY FEATURE ... "
" ... Like the auto-shutoff if it tips (though on carpet, you need to put the heater on something hard, like a book, to make heater function). ... "
" ... The good thing is that there is a red light indicated that tells you that the heater is still plugged in. ... This is a great feature! ... "
" ... I like the safety feature that many reviewers gripe about. ... "
" ... cost less than name brands, and often offer more features. ... This heater has a "tip over" switch, unlike some more expensive heaters. ... "
" ... Also has a fan mode which is nice. ... "
" ... It has an excellent safety feature ... "
" ... I personally call that a safety feature, and one you should have. ... "

" ... I should also note that I did test it on a level surface realizing there was a safety switch/button and it still wouldn't work. ... "
" ... Has what I believe is meant to be a safety push-button on the bottom of the unit (so that if it tips over the heater will shut off), but in practice this button is very finicky even when unit is upright on flat surface, so I have to constantly mess with it to get it to turn on and can't just use the top knobs. ... "
" ... The tip-over switch is extremely finicky. ... The heater will not turn on unless I flip the heater up so I can manually depress the tip-over switch and then hold the switch depressed until it is set on the floor. ... "
" ... - Has a tip-over switch ... - Tipover switch is a little finicky ... "
" ... This has a tip-over button on the bottom, a peg-like thing that has to depress for the heater to work. ... "
" ... buttons change to easily, has "safety" feature where if heater isn't on hard surface it won't come on. ... "
" ... Safety button on the bottom needs to be pressed in or it won't work. ... "
" ... It only worked (ironically) when I pressed the "auto shutoff" button on the bottom. ... "

" ... Makes this worthless to me as all my floors are carpeted. ... "
" ... It’s difficult to use on carpet. ... "
" ... It would not run in the room I had wanted it in - it won't work on carpet. ... The tip over switch needs to be pushed in but it is so small and thin it just goes right into the carpet. ... I then put in in my office which has a very short pile carpet and I can get it to work but only if I push it down hard. ... "
" ... I put it on the floor under my desk and it won’t turn on on the carpet. ... "
" ... The only downside is that I use this under my desk on carpet and if there’s two pins at the bottom that need to be pushed in for it to work. ... So because it sits on carpet it constantly clicks off when I don’t want it to. ... "
" ... won't work on carpet. ... "
" ... However, on carpet it is difficult to get it to sit just right so that it turns on! ... "
" ... As other reviews state, the pressure switch on the bottom is a plastic tube that will not engage when it is sitting on carpet. ... "

" ... Now I feel warm, but annoyed. ... "
" ... The handle is shallow and it takes two hands to pick it up. ... "
" ... The handle at the back is pretty worthless - can get a grip and is very shallow to get any fingers into - nothing to really grab onto. ... "
" ... The handle should more up in back, because when you put your fingers in to lift it, it sort of slips out hard to carry by the handle. ... "
" ... fingers crossed this one might actually work for an hour before crapping out. ... "
" ... So you need to be able to wrap your thumb around to the front, or else it will slide off your fingers. ... Unfortunately, the front is far and curved, and so my (fairly average to small) hand finds it nearly impossible to pick up with this handle. ... "
" ... The tip-over mechanism, while nice to have for safety, can be finicky if it's on even a slightly uneven surface so it can take some repositioning to get it to come on. ... "

" ... Already threw away the packaging, so would be hard to return. ... "
