Brightown Small Space Heater for Indoor Use - 400W Low Wattage Portable Personal Mini Heater with Tip Over Protection, Low Noise Desk Heater for Office Bedroom Home Use

[PROS]- Good for only warming your own self up, without baking the room- Perfect size and heat output to be deskside, if wanted- Relatively quiet, especially for the price- Low wattage[CONS]- Good for only warming your own self up (not really a *SPACE* heater)- I would not trust the safety on this thing too much- It's so lightweight that it's easy to tip over (safety button should turn it off), and it struggles to fight against the weight of it's own cable, ie, it likes to turn out of position- I would NOT set this on carpet, since it's easy to tip over, and the grille on the front gets darn hotThis itty-bitty electric heater should NOT be thought of a "space" heater, but more of a "me" heater. It's the perfect thing to put under your desk by your feet to give you a cozy, piping-hot draft of air focused on you.This little thing *cannot* realistically warm-up a room well, and that's EXACTLY what I want out of it.Somehow pulling LESS watts than the NVIDIA RTX 4090, this thing still puts out a cozy amount of heat, kinda like a hair dryer on an extra-low setting. I keep it under my desk if I want to warm my whole body, and put it deskside if I want to just warm my torso.DO keep in mind that aside from the alleged thermistor safety mechanism, their idea of safety is a cheap-feeling button on the bottom, so if the unit is tipped over, it no longer turns on. I would NOT trust this thing with much confidence, but since I only ever use it when I'm right in front of it, all works out.

Does a good job

UPDATE: The seller reached out and offered to send a different model. Good customer service.I own three of these space heaters and have been happy with them, but the design has recently changed. The latest one I ordered now has a front grate made of plastic instead of metal. The plastic gets extremely hot during use and gives off a strong burnt plastic smell, which is disappointing compared to the earlier models and does not feel safe. Unfortunately the return window has passed, otherwise I’d be returning this item.

I've bought four of these over the past several years for different situations, and always had good results with them. I've tried other heaters, but none do as well as this one at heating up tight enclosed (aka - having the door closed in a small room) spaces. You do want to make sure it's in a location someone can't easily bump it or hit it, because it is pretty easy to tip over, but the anti-tip mechanism thankfully turns it off immediately, unlike some other space heaters I've tried that just beep and keep running when you tip them.

This little heater is awesome. It keeps my office very cozy. When someone comes into my. Office and see how small this heater is they cannot believe the output of heat.

My desk in in a temperature controlled lab space, which is held at 69-70 F 24/7. This doesn't sound too bad, but when I'm sitting, not moving, for long periods of time with the air circulating (like a small breeze) around me then it feels a lot colder sometimes. I bought this heater for under my desk (see image) which is a fairly enclosed space, so I was a little worried that I would constantly have to turn it on and off, since it's only about 1.5 - 2 ft away from my feet at all times, but it works perfectly!Super easy to set up, and it creates this little bubble of warmth right around my legs, like I'm wearing invisible heated leggings! It's also very quiet, you can't hear it at all over the air circulation sounds from the ventilation system at my workplace. If you get up right next to it, the sound it makes is a low pitched hum, similar to the noise of a PC fan (like one other person said) but a little lower pitched.When I put my hand next to it, I can only feel the fan blowing from up to 1 ft away from the front of the fan. This is great for me since I didn't want it to be scalding hot to my legs 2 ft away or to heat up the surrounding desks. But if you have a more open desk (not fully enclosed like mine) then it may not heat up your space as well.It feels extremely safe, as one person said, there's a little peg on the bottom so that it shuts off if it is knocked over. I've been running it for about 10 minutes now, and while my legs are toasty warm, the sides of the heater are cool to the touch. Only the front of the heater gets warm, so I don't have to worry about my desk catching on fire or anything.All in all, this was exactly what I wanted, keeps me nice and warm at work without bothering my neighbors or alerting people who may have something to say about personal heaters being allowed or not allowed (I didn't ask).

I bought this to put under my desk to warm my feet on the occasional days the office temp is generally okay but I want to warm my toes from walking through the snow. It works for this purpose. I would not want to rely on it all the time to try to manage the temperature in general.Pros: cheery orange color, relatively small footprint, easy operation, and puts out a reasonable amount of heat. Pressure switch on the bottom turns it off if it tips forward or back. Casing doesn't get too hot to handle it safely.Cons: front-heavy design makes it prone to tipping over and switching off. I appreciate this safety feature, but wish the device was a bit more bottom-heavy. No controls for heat output; this thing is either on, or off. Absence of a timer setting means you need to remember to turn it off or use a timer plug to shut it down.Summary: for the price point this is a reasonable way to warm up, while tip factor makes it best positioned where it can't get bumped, such as a shelf or desk rather than the floor.
