Good for an Area of 1′x1′

I bought this from Home Depot for $12.59. I was mainly curious what kind of heat I could get out of a machine that was less that $13. With the fan set on high, and the temp. at max, this unit heats up about 1′ directly in front of the fan, and about 1-2′ directly above it. So, unless you just want to set it on the floor and warm up your feet, I would say use that $13 and put it towards another heater……..I will be returning it tomorrow. Hopefully this will save some people some trouble and now you know what to expect.

Update (2/8/2012): I also found some auctions for this item here.

Re-consider
I returned the HCH4051 I learned under my desk to go. It was a manageable size, and I probably could have dealt with the rather high noise level, but I could not with the smell! Even after running full-service provider hole for hours outside, there was still a nasty chemical smell off. It smelled like pesticides, such as 2,4-D or something. That was unacceptable.

Don’t know what they’re talking about
Our gas bill for heating our trailer was $300 a month, here in Wisconsin for the last 3 months. We bought TWO of these (only two!) and turned our gas furnace’s thermostat down to 50 and then put one of them in the back and one in the front of the place. I don’t know why people are saying the heating area is small? Maybe the fan isn’t blowing much, but the two little heaters we got have actually kept our WHOLE place around 70 degrees.

Okay so yeah, I guess there was a smell when we first turned them on, but that quickly went away.

For as little as they cost I’d have to say they are definitely worth the buy. The cost in electricity is STILL far less than what we were paying for our gas bill.
