Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This little guy surprised me. I have a finished 10x16 outbuilding which houses my art studio and a couple of small pets. It's well-insulated, so I was looking for a safe heat source which wouldn't cost too much to run. My husband purchased this Pelonis radiator as an early Christmas present, and it definitely fits the bill. The digital thermostat allows the user to choose between 65 to 85 degrees F, in 5 degree increments. It also has options of low, high, or economy settings. Hi uses 1500w, lo uses 900w, and economy switches back and forth in order to maintain temperature. If you need an option lower than 65 (for example, just to keep things from freezing), then you might look elsewhere, but you won't find many heaters which will operate at less than 900w. There's also a timer to either turn the heater on or to turn it off after running for a while. The timer is in 2 hour increments, so if you need more precise operation, then this may not be the heater for you. Also, I will say that the thermostat is slightly off, as it has kept my studio consistently between 68 and 70 degrees, despite being set on 65. I have learned to leave it on low unless the outside temperature is going to drop below freezing, at which time I turn the radiator to economy. Even when outside temps drop below 20 degrees, the radiator has maintained a minimum of 66 inside the studio. My little pets are happy and safe, and I don't have to worry about any combustible liquids in my art supplies, since there are no open flames. And with it staying mostly on low, heating my studio is costing far less than the AC did over the summer. I don't think it would work quite as well in a much larger room, or without insulation, but for my situation, it's perfect. It would be great to warm up a nursery safely, or to automatically make a bathroom or bedroom toasty for the morning rush.
