" ... not sure how it works but it does an excellent job of heating my large bedroom. ... Perfect, without turning up the heat for the entire home. ... "

" ... I have it in the bedroom set for a low setting (2) at night, with the fan on medium. ... Warms the room enough. ... "
" ... Works well to heat small areas. ... "
