Heats the Target
We had an inexpensive Omni heater with two heating bulbs, but one of them burned out. First I replaced the Omni with a fan forced ceramic heater that proved unsatisfactory. On the same day I returned the one and bought this model; they may have passed each other on the road.
The Comfort Zone Dish is not nearly as large as the Amazon listed dimensions led me to believe. Measuring the back of the heater, I came up with a generous 15 inch diameter. Its heating source appears to be a ceramic cone with coiled wire wrapped around the outside of the cone. As the wire heats and glows, heat is produced and reflected from the concave parabola behind it. Only a little more than half of the wire coils glow. The unit has no fan.
A radiant heater warms the object or person who is the target of the radiated heat; it's not the heater to buy if you want something to warm an entire room. Mrs. Spudman occasionally smokes on the unheated porch and when she does she wants to pack...
Very happy
Has been working very well. I hope it lasts a long time, that is my only concern.
I like the safety feature of the button on the base that retracts and shuts the heater down if it falls over.
Substandard
Part of the coil did not illuminate , and it did not produce the full level of heat even on the highest setting. I returned the item.
