SoleusAir® Ultrathin Micathermic Heater

Comments about SoleusAir® Ultrathin Micathermic Heater:

I ordered this in New England in June, so it will be months before this heater gets a real workout, but space heaters with fans have failed me in the past. Today is chilly, and the heater within minutes gave me warmth.
In my experience, with fan heaters, low settings do not boost the temperature even in small spaces at all, and on high settings, they trigger surge-protecting power bars to switch everything off before anything is heated. Besides, in the winter anyone looking to humidify, for the sake of the eyes, the nose, the throat, may have found fan heaters' blowing of hot air counterproductive. This is better.
This micathermic Soleus heater heats both from the back, the front, and the top, so it is a lot less directional than fan-type heaters. The temperature setting gauge does not specify temperatures, just high to low. The "feet" that you have to put on don't seem exactly child proof. But at this point I think this will be a reliable way to heat specific areas.

I don't know if I got a lemon or what but It doesn't heat very well at all. It reminds me of the radiator heaters I grew up with that took like an hour to get going but somehow it never gets hot at all. It gets a little warm but you don't feel it. No matter how long I run it, it just doesn't heat up. It's pretty big too which is actually why I got it thinking it would have a high heat output but really it's just a big space waster. I finally just gave up and threw it in my closet. I highly recommend the Boston space heater which is what I bought after I fooled around with this one for three months.
