 Works well and, unlike most, it ain't ugly. November 27, 2007

One of the most aesthetically pleasing space heaters I've ever seen. it can be sat on rollers or mounted to wall. It can keep my uninsulated 4,000 cubic foot (20' wide x 20' long x 10' high) garage at a tolerable temperature when it's 15 degrees outside.
Tip #1: As with any new space heater, it will emit an unpleasant chemical smell when first used. When it's new, I suggest you set it on high and place it in the garage or outside for 3 to 4 hours before using it inside.
Tip #2: Hot cords/plugs are usually the result of using the wrong gauge of wire in your extension cord or electrical outlets. Use at least a 14-gauge (I'd probably go with a 12-gauge) extension cord and plug it into an outlet that is wired (with 14, preferable 12, gauge wire) to at least a 15-amp circuit breaker. This will be the only thing you'll want running on that circuit breaker. If you don't do that, then don't complain about hot plugs or wires. It's not the heater's fault. It's a basic principle of electricity.
Tip #3: No, it's not going to produce as many BTUs as a propane or kerosene heater will. Electrical heaters are quite capable of producing equal BTUs, without producing carbon monoxide like gas heaters do, but they also have to make it safe to plug into a wall outlet and that means about 1500 watts max. If you have a large room you've been heating with a gas heater and you want to replace it with an electric heater, then you're going to have to get a 240v 30 Amp (or better) heater and probably have an electrician wire it in for you on a dedicated dual-pole circuit. This is a space heater, not a furnace. It's for making warm rooms warmer. Don't disparage this heater because you got the wrong tool for the job. Do your research.
Tip #4: If you want to remove the stickers from the face of the unit and the adhesive is being stubborn, then try heat. If that doesn't work, then go to an auto parts store. They sell several different adhesive removers that are safe for painted surfaces.
Almost Silent Radiant Heater - Perfect for Bedrooms or Quiet Spaces February 2, 2007

We've been using this panel heater in our 16' x 20' bedroom for 6 weeks to save big $$ by turning the central heating way down at night. It works very well to heat the room throughout the night and is virtually silent. There are some tiny expansion noises when it is heating up, but it has never made any noise to waken us during the night and we are light sleepers. Just need to turn it on about a half-hour before bed to warm up the room. The room stays pleasantly warm even on the 750W low power setting with the built-in temp control turned less than half-way to max. It heats without moving air around (no fans) so it takes a while to distribute the heat. Folks who want instant blowing heat may not like it but they will have to tolerate fan noise. For us, silence is golden and this heater provides silent heat which is fully adjustable. It is also light weight and moves easily by either carrying (has built-in handle) or rolling on the supplied casters.

The size and style and light weight are all great. But I've found that the heater needs to be very close to the person and directly facing whatever part of you needs warming. I didn't realize it needed to be so specifically directed.
Great For Small Unheated Room November 13, 2006

I use this heater in an unheated screen porch where my dogs sleep. Storm windows keep the wind out, but It was still too cold for the dogs. This heater is great if you're concerned about "dog proofing". It was mounted to the wall and I covered the cord with wooden trim along the baseboard, preventing cord chewing. It heats the 12' by 15' room to a nice 70 degrees, even though the walls are not insulated. Oklahoma has fairly mild winters, rarely getting below 20 degrees, or so. I can't say how the heater would work in this application if you have harsh winters, but for keeping an unheated, small room warm in a mild climate, its great.
nice modern heater, not quite silent December 19, 2006

I've had my HHP1500 heater for about 1 month. It is a nice sleek modern design. It's also easy to move around and takes up minimal floor space The heat is sufficient given its size. This works fine to heat my home office and bedroom.
I did want to comment on the other previous reviewer's statements that this heater is completely silent. It is not. During the first week I had it there were strange sounds at night which I couldn't quiet place-maybe a creaky roof, I thought. But later I found that the noise was coming from the heater. The technology of this heater is a thermal panel that expands slightly when it is turned on. The panel usually makes intermittent popping/crinkling sound when on settings 1-3. If you look at the "space age" heating element panel (inside) you can see the bulges in different areas when you power it on. These seem to be the source of the mystery sounds. I found on the highest settings it only makes the sound 1-2 times only at initial start up. Of course, this sound is minimal compared to constant sound of fan driven heater, but I WOULD NOT call it 100% silent.
The only other downside is that it uses a good amount of power. I have a surge protector that measures the Amperage drain. on setting 1 it is ~65A and on setting 2 it is around 125A. If you have this cranked up it's not going to be cheap to run. But most electric heaters aren't.
