Comfort Zone Indoor Dish Space Heater with 70-degree Oscillation, Parabolic, Radiant, Electric, Adjustable Tilt, Tip Over Switch & Overheat Protection Sensor, Ideal for Garage, Workshop, 1,000W, CZ998

Freakin awesome heater! Quiet, and gets very warm on the low setting. I like this so much better than heaters that have fans to blow heat. This silently radiates heat AND has an oscillating feature, which does create a small amount of noise. Highly recommend this for small areas

I was really excited to get this heater, because it doesn't use a fan so it's nice and quiet for my office. After it arrived, I let it burn off the residue by leaving it plugged in on my porch for a few hours, then started using it in my office. At this point it seemed to be great, and I would rate it 4-5 stars if it worked as well as it did this first day.Jump ahead to the next day, and it won't turn on. Or more accurately, it has its own opinion about when it'll allow itself to be turned turn on. Sometimes, it fires up immediately - other times, it seems like its completely broken, but out of blind faith I try leaving it on "low", and after a few hours it turns on. I've tried different outlets, and messing with the power switch, even a little bit of gentle adjustment of the cord, but no luck in any case. There's a shutoff switch underneath the bottom that'll cut the power if its tipped over. I think the issue might be related to that? In my case, its sitting on a solid floor, and messing with that button doesn't motivate the thing to turn on.Anyway, I'd suggest you consider a different product. This one might not keep you as warm as you'd like.

This heater is self explanatory to use it is 100% noise free even when oscillating. The heat is instant and you can feel it right away. Only thing is there is a burn in period for the heat coil during which there is a terrible odor but eventually it goes away. I have used more expensive heaters of this type straight out of the box that did not need a burn in time but they were 2x the money.

I was pretty hesitant purchasing this heater after reading some of the reviews. I'm very happy to say that I went through with purchasing it. I grew up with the HeatDish from Costco. After so many years, that broke. I don't know about you, but I could not find them on Costco shelves anymore! So I took to Amazon. This is exactly what I was looking for. I've been using it for about 3 months now and it's worked great. It has 2 heat settings, low and high. It also has the oscillating feature which is a big plus. Overall, I'm very happy with this product. I look forward to its warmness every night!PS This is a fan that is a big metal dish that heats up and directs heat in your direction. This is not a fan that blows hot air.

Works well if you face it towards you, however my $20 mini heater works just as well. I think there are better heaters that would heat the whole room for about the same price.Also, it does not work on carpet. I have to put a spare piece of wood down in order to use it on my carpet so that it has a perfectly flat place to sit (otherwise the sensors think it is tipping over and automatically shut it off).

Not fully what I expected. I thought it had a fan that blows the heat outward. There is no fan. Does not fully heat my bedroom as hoped. Bought in case or power outage. Does not operate with the Battery pack/Solar Generator, I bought for it.

I've had it for only 2 hours, and there's no reason to deduct a star yet.I bought this heater specifically because of its lower output --- i.e, I didn't want the operation expense of the more common 1500W heaters.I measured the unit's power consumption, and it's within 1.5 % of its spec (draws 985 watts on its high setting).It's adjustable enuf.I've no use for the oscillating function, so I won't comment on that. (You probably shouldn't, either; see last paragraph.)VERY IMPORTANTLY FOR NEW OWNERS: Only about 2/3 of the resistance coils power on when set on "high." I deduce that the high setting directs power through only 2/3 of the elements. That reduction in resistance increases current flow by 50% leading to more heat output. The low setting directs current through all of the heating element -- more resistance = less current and less heat. Therefore, if you notice that not all of the heating element is glowing on the high setting, your heater is probably working correctly. (The entire element will glow on low.)We had one of these things at home when I was a kid, and it came from my mom's girlhood home, meaning that it probably worked for at least 50 years. They "don't make things like they used to," but if mine lasts 20% as long as that one, I'll be satisfied.These parabolic heaters are actually ideal for projecting heat at one spot. They'll heat a small space with the oscillating feature, but that's not their best use. If you're looking to warm up 1 or 2 stationary people (watching TV, sitting at a desk, trading in bed) without wasting energy and money on heating everything in the room, this is the type of heater you want. If you're looking to heat an area in which folks will be moving frequently, there are better alternatives.

I have had these type of heaters before and they are normally outstanding with the heat output. These are so so. Temperature dial would be much better than a hello, hi, off switch. They way practically nothing which is a downfall big time! Cuz of these get knocked over, they feel safe switch kicks in.The first time I used one I put it in my bathroom intending to let it sit for a half an hour because I was wanting to take a shower.When I returned 45 minutes later the heater was off. I was able to turn it right back on. My son uses that one every morning now. However, it continually turns off as though it's been knocked over and continues to do it more often more often more often.Now the other ones doing exactly the same thing. These things are cheap and not worth a dime.
