"Honeywell/kaz Home Environme" HZ-2200 Mini Tower Surround Heater 1500W - Charcoal Gray

Great for the money
This is a great little heater. I got it for my daughter's room a little over a month ago because Consumer Reports rated it highly. For $25 bucks, it does all I ask. What I like is that you can set it you heat 360 degrees or only push the heat to the front. I set it to the latter, because it's so compact a good place for it is on top of a dresser.

Only thing I wish it had was a digital thermostatic control, but after a couple days of fiddling, you get just the right temperature and can leave it there, tweaking it if necessary.

Short-lived
Worked well the first year. Second year it overheated to the point that the plastic was soft and the knobs would burn you if you touched them. It annoys me that so much junk gets sold today. I would much rather have paid a higher price for a heater that was reliable year after year.

Melted Itself open
I bought this heater last year and used it all winter very happily. It worked very well and kept my computer room comfy and warm.

This year i brought it out to use, plugged it in for day use and on the second day it started turning off on me after about 3 min of use. I unplugged it and let it cool off since it got amazingly hot after that 3 min and i discovered the black, round casing with the holes in it that goes around the top, had melted itself open in the back.

I loved this heater last year but can only give it 2 stars due to longevity.

Honeywell HZ-315 Ceramic Heater

Waste of $
This heater blew a fuse twice in my office, causing my coworkers' computers to shut down and lose unsaved information. The darn thing comes on for 2 seconds every 5 minutes so I'm constantly cold. I would recommend one where you can change the fan setting to go at all times on low without the thermostat stepping in and ruining a good warmth. Also, doesn't turn off unless you unplug it so I have to crawl under my desk everytime I leave the office. No fun. Want to return but it's too much of a hassle.

No Safety Devices....No on/off switch
While this little heater creates heat it isnt what I wanted at all. First of all I realized that it has no safety features. If it tips over unto the rug, it just keeps going! A real fire hazard. Also also the front heat control knob says "off" you cant really turn it off without pulling the plug out of the wall, rather inconvenient. And as one of the reviewers mentioned its a real drain on a circuit, throwing the circuit breaker in the first day of use. Last year I bought a Pelonis for less and it was far better.

exactly what I wanted
I work in a large office where the temp. is fixed and is always too cold. This heater works perfectly under my desk to keep me toasty. It is very quiet and it stays cool so that I don't have to worry about the noise or fire hazards. I would recomend this to anyone in a cold office. I even ordered a second one for my mother.

Honeywell 360 Surround Heater

Do not buy this product!!!
I am sorry that I brought this item... I should have just opened a window; while, it was snowing and gets a better response... The only way you could have feel the heat from this heater was to sit right next to it... My front room was 60 degree, and after I turn on this heater for about 6 hours, it was no difference. The only thing that this machine was able to do was to get a short in the cord!!!
