"A lot of heat for a little power" 2010-09-13

At the low setting of only 400 watts, this heater produces a lot of heat! I am in the bottom unit of a very old building (built around 1900), so it is freeeezing! This heater has really helped! I keep it under my desk at my home office and it keeps me working. Before, I purchased a couple of energy-efficient 400 watt wall-mounted heaters (for over $80 each), but those take far too long to heat up (by the time the room is warm, I'm ready to leave). This affordable ($30) Optimus heater gives you instant gratification and plenty of heat. I haven't even used it at the 800 watt setting yet. I think I might buy another one or two for the other rooms of my house.

It broke down in less than 5 months. I used it almost every single day. Sometimes it was too hot, and it takes time to heat up.

"Good value" 2010-08-26
By Ana Carolina Rojas (Miami, FL USA)
I live in Miami, I am a woman in my 30s. Our office is freezing everyday! It is not nice to work with a thermostat on the 50s and 60s that can't be changed. This product is great if you are looking for a heater for your office or desk. Its powerful and most important, silent. That was my main concern because I did not want to bother my coworkers. It does look like a toaster or a roaster(I didn't receive the white one but brownish greenish...) but I don't care because its under my desk. Good price too! I hope it lasts or I'll be mad.

"Here's why this heater is great" 2010-07-11
By Matthew Frith (Torrance, Ca United States)
I waited a year before I decided to make a review on this heater and so far it is still going strong. This is a great heater especially when you are using it at work. First off, it's a low power heater so it allows you to use 800 or 400 watts. This allows you to use it at work without worrying about blowing a fuse and making a complete ass out of yourself. Most heaters (even the small ones), will run at about 1500 watts and will easily shut down a circuit. Second, it gives off great heat. I've was hard pressed to find any amount of heat that this heater has given vs the heaters that use double the power. With the reflective background pushing the heat forward, you can easily feel it at about 8 feet away. This heater heats up my office in a place where everyone wants the air conditioning blasting, but I've had times where the co-workers were complaining that the heater was heating up the office too much. So, I'm giving this heater 5 stars because I've only have had good luck with it. I wish the same for anyone else that buys this heater.
  
"great for the money" 2010-07-04
By J. L. Wions
This is my second Optimus. I bought it for two reasons. One is that it is a great little heater that heats up a small area in a hurry with low energy consumption, and it never has to shut down to cool off as fan models do. The other reason is that my first Optimus developed a mysterious short after about six months of constant use (about 16 hours/day), causing its performance to be unreliable. For the price, I decided it would be easier to buy another one than to test customer service, and be without it for a while (for health reasons, I require the heat almost constantly). So, now I have two, and am happy with both (when they are both working).
