Comfort ZoneOscillating Portable Space Heater, Flat Panel, Halogen, Infrared, Electric, Adjustable Tilt, Overheat Sensor, Stay-Cool, & Tip-Over Switch, Ideal for Home, Bedroom, & Office, 800W, CZHTV9

The Comfort Zone Oscillating Portable Space Heaters (purchased two) have worked out great in our large TV/entertainment room - very quiet & a single heater warms the room quickly on chilly days. This past Winter during the 'Polar Vortex' invasion we needed both of the heaters on opposite ends of the room. Note: This is a RADIANT heater, NO fan so it takes a while, maybe 45-60 minutes to take the chill off in the mornings; however, after the initial warming, it keeps the room very comfortable and shuts off periodically during the day.The description indicates the the heater has a 'tilt' function - as far as we've been able to determine IT DOES NOT TILT NOR DOES IT HAVE ANY MECHANISM (nor instructions) TO INDICATE A TILT FUNCTION. However, this has not been a concern and tbh I don't really see a need to have a tilt function!?!Would we buy again? Definitely!! It heats rapidly and with no fan it's ideal while watching TV and/or gaming.

The halogen heater has a top mounted control panel. Settings include; Swing high (Oscillation 70 degrees; turns left and right with high heat), Swing low (Turns while on a low setting), off, low, and high. There is a power indicator light, which when in use, turns on. There are no digital displays.The glow of the light is seemingly subtle during the day (Not at all as bright as the image displayed, which is good), however I found it to be brighter than I would have liked when in use during the night. As an example; at night, you could read a book and not need any other lighting while the heater is on.Once the heater has been taken out of its box, the base of the product does require assembly. The assembly is basic. Two wing nuts will be used to tighten the base to the heater. No tools are necessary.Seconds after turning it on, the high setting: 800 watts can be felt (If it is positioned near and facing your direction). The same applies to when in use on a low setting, though the heat is not as strong.It operates quietly, and the structure/ surface remains cool while heating, however if it is in use for several hours, the structure will get warm, but it remains manageable to touch. I often use the indent in the back (the handle)to carry this product from one place to another.As a result of residual lubrication, there may be a brief initial odor (Only once, after you've received it, then plugged it in for a try). This is normal for new heaters. Within a minute, give or take, it is no longer an issue.It is a well-proportioned product; 12 x 6.3 x 23 inches.I don't believe this product is intended to heat a room, though I have noticed it does help maintain the room's temperature a bit, but then again, I have one of those open floor plans downstairs. I have yet to try it in an inclosed environment (like a small bedroom or bathroom). I will update this post when I do give it a go.It is very much like a personal heater. I often place it in front of the couch (roughly about two feet away, and can feel the heat very well. I have left it on for several hours at a time, and have had no problems with it.The overall quality is as I had hoped.Lee-

Rather large for an 800 watt unit, but has worked well so far. Has a convenient carry handle and top controls. You can use it with or without oscillation. The back of the unit is not hot at all. On the High setting, it puts out quite a bright visible light, so you might not want it in a bedroom except on the Low setting. Checked it with a Kill-a-Watt meter: the actual output read 775 watts on the High setting and 455 watts on the Low setting. This is fine for my purposes. Made in China, so I wonder how long it will last.

Even though it killed my electric bill (doubled it in fact)- WE WERE WARM! To me, it was worth the price and still cheaper than fuel oil. This is what my pets think of it😊

It throws really good heat but I feel it is a cheaply made heater. Mostly plastic and gets pretty warm to the touch.

First, a word from my cat, Dora . . ."I absolutely LOVE this heater! There is simply nothing better than stretching out in front of MY heater. It is bright, warm and oh so cozy! Purrrfect."I wanted to use this heater for at least 6 weeks before writing an in-depth review.Yes, as many folks have mentioned, it is certainly bright and not conducive to sleep and I know I would have a difficult time getting to sleep with those bright halogen bulbs. Beyond that, it's perfect.Fall and winter nights here in Colorado get pretty chilly. In an effort to keep our energy costs down, I wanted to get a heater that would enable us to keep the furnace off as much as possible, while still enjoying a warm space. We generally use the heater in our living room. It's perfect for warming the immediate area (unless you are more than 10 feet away - the chill creeps back in).I love the fact, too, that with the 800W and 400W settings, we are using half the electricity we did with ceramic heater, even with the higher setting. Safety features that make it automatically turn off when tipped or on its side is another plus.The lightness of the heater was most surprising; it just doesn't "feel" substantial by weight - but I assure you it is pretty sturdy, VERY quiet and great for those cold nights and chilly snow days.

I have purchased Comfort Zone products in the past and have always been pleased with the product. NOT THIS TIME. Never oscillated and only 1/2 the heating elements worked. Doesn't stand up to the Comfort Zone name.

Does a great job for a smaller heater, cheaper to run this than the central air that didnt manage to keep the apartment warm. The lights are super bright which should be a given but it threw me off so that is probably the one downfall if thats something that would bother you.
