These portable heaters have a thermal fuse which often burns up causing them to stop working. I've had the same thing happen in a totally different heater. The fuse can be replaced but it's a major PITA and may require soldering.

Wife bought one last year. Stopped working after a few weeks of use and we couldn't get it to turn on again. Returned it because it was still within the return window

How can you tell how efficient the heater is.? If you simply get the most efficient heater at any price you're going to be far ahead. however I don't know how to determine which heater is most efficient. I'll have to research that in Google if I manage to remember.

This works well for its size. One problem I see is its temperature reader, it reads 3 to 6 degrees more than actual room temperature; the easy fix is set wanted temperature plus 5.

just got our as well and can confirm the temp. variation. I got this one for our toddler's room (out of reach for now) thats colder than the rest of the floor and the Costco one for our room where the nest thermostat is. The Costco version is definitely higher end and much larger - the remote is an added value and can also put a sleep mode to turn off the display.
My question to the experts out there. I am not sure if these would save us some money as we just moved to this house and with barely any usage in the last two weeks (68/69 thermostat) I already got two alerts on my daily threshold from the power company. We're in an all electric Townhome and it seems these HVAC's use a lot of juice when they're electric(?) - the presence of our 2 year old is making me quite nervous about these heaters.

Edit: the no tip over protection may be a deal breaker for us and will probably return.

They're all 100% efficient. By definition any electricity used will be turned into heat. Radiant heaters may be more efficient in practice in some cases, because they don't heat the air (e.g. good to warm up in a tent or even outside, you just have to stand near it).

The only way you can get more heat for less power is to have a heat pump, which would just be pulling heat from somewhere else (would require ducting/pipes), assuming you have a potential heat source where this is worth doing (doubtful).

Bought 2 last year for the wife and the dog. Severe cold snap in Socal and NG prices "mysteriously" and coincidentally spiked at the same time. They both love it. Kept the pupper warm at night in her pen, too.

That one hurt the wallet. Gas bill jumped up like 5x with the heating on. Debating if just going small heater and night in the bedroom and bundle up during work hours (WAH). Ill probably pick this up and have near my feet while working.

Yeah, it stung for sure. I'm fine in the cold, I thrive in it. The wife has medical conditions that cold can cause physical damage, and she's terminally cheap, so she constantly turned off the heater. This was the compromise. The pup, she seeks out warmth, so rather than have them "share" a heater this was cheap enough to one for each.

I've wasted more money on lesser things. At about $20 a pop, I'm tempted to grab a couple of spares.

Winter air is dryer in cooler climates. I think gas furnaces and wood fires burn oxygen for combustion and dry out the air. I see steam venting to the outside through the furnace flue. People put kettles on wood stoves and fireplaces to add humidity to the air. How would using an electric heater make it dryer?

Picked it up yesterday and tried it out. Strong burning smell even after about an hour. Also no tip sensor.

And depends on the fuse too. I had a Honeywell heater which had a permanent shut-off fuse. Once the fuse blows there is no provision to replace it and the whole unit is bust. This is something usual for a low price heaters.
What is the purpose of the fuse?

I'm using one right now in my home office. I love the thermostat feature, which is rare to find at this price point. Warms up my room quickly, but the heat dissipates quickly once it's off. From a safety perspective, not sure I would keep this on overnight.

Not sure if I want to keep using this, or go back to my electric radiant heater (more bulky and takes much longer to warm the room).

The byproduct of perfect combustion is CO2 and H2O. The steam is the exhaust, and is 100% isolated from the air a furnace is heating. The heat from combustion is used to raise the temperature of a heat exchanger. In many modern furnaces, the combustion air supply is also drawn from outside in an annular pipe.

Winter air, even at 100% humidity, contains much less H2O because it is colder to start with, and thus has a lower temperature at which it saturates. Unless you add moisture, the air will be drier than summer. This has nothing to do with if electricity was used to generate the heat, or a chemical reaction.

A gas furnace does not lower the oxygen levels in your house. All of the exhaust is pumped outside. I have no idea where people get these ideas...
