Great little heaterI bought this heater a few years ago for my RV and it has performed excellent. On one trip it to Alaska it was on full power for over 2 months and no problem. A very vell made little compact unit. A+++
I like mine when its runningI like mine when its running. I have only had to fix it about 15 times. I do like it because it was cheap, 17 bucks at Walmart, and puts out plenty of heat. These will cut off sometimes if they have to much dust in them, may be a safety feature. I had one little wire in it that kept coming loose or arcing. Had to fix that about 10 times or so. The last time must have been the trick. Someone at Walmart told me she had about 20 in the back that people had brought back. In other words, nothing but problems. But if you can fix stuff its not that bad. The case is actually very durable. Simple basic design. I may have just got a bad one. Kinda reminds me of an old car I had that ate a starter every 80,000 miles. Got so use to fixing it that it became no big deal, and only took a few minutes. I know.... strange review.
Fire Hazard!After 2 months of use, the fan stopped turning in this heater. This caused the heater coils to turn bright red and overheat. It started smoking profusely. My circuit breaker did NOT trip, nor did any fuses within the heater unit cut off. Luckily, I just happened to be nearby and smell the smoke. Another few minutes and my house would have likely burnt down. I will be filing a complaint with the BBB for this Lakewood product.
