Great, economical heaters!
I bought two of these a few years ago at my local Walmart and I’ve been very pleased with them. They heat up a space very well and mine have worked consistently. When it’s on, the front grate does get hot but my pets don’t go near it when it’s on and I don’t have small children. I love the oscillation feature. I also like knowing that if it was knocked over, it will automatically turn off. They’ve been dependable little heaters and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one.

Scary
I liked the size of the heater and price. I purchased it January 2022. Last night I had it running and it had only been on for about 45 minutes and it caught fire. Scare the crap out of me. I unplugged it and brought it outside. Now I am fearful to get another one.

    The best heater ever! Mo
    What can I say? The Pelonis heater packs a great punch! I use it in my kitchen due to a little draft from the patio door. It keeps my kitchen and dining room nice and toasty! I keep it on a low temperature at a medium setting so that it comes on periodically. This is the second one that I have bought and will be getting another one soon. The Best Heater Ever!!

    Powerful and medium size heater
    This heater is quiet!!! It has a switch to oscillate or stand still from low to high. I bought for my RV but ended up using in my 4 seasons room. Will buy again!

    Thermostat not working.
    Thermostat is not working properly. Either it's too hot or too cold. tried to adjust thermostat at different level but sometimes it will not cut off or sometimes it will not start heating. So basically it is now totally manual on/off and can not set at desired comfort level.

    Dangerous, waste of money
    i bought 2 units. at first ran great than about 2 weeks in, half my house loss power. electrician came out and stated did we have heater. we were told to not use them again and we had to rewire electrical panel. had a friend who was looking for heater, explained what happened, still wanted the heater. plugged in heater and exactly the same thing happened! Same story from their electrician. they had to rewire their electrical panel. now their electrician was family member and had no reason to lie. i threw out both units just so they could not get them back and resell them to others.

    NOT SAFE! SAFETY SHUT OFF FAILED!
    This heater is NOT SAFE. I woke up at 3 am thankful that I did because this heater had melted my outlet and was still running. The safety shut off FAILED!

    Stopped working after 3 uses
    I bought this heater in May 2022 for my home office. Since it is the summer time I have only had to turn it on 3 times and today it stopped working (Aug. 2022). Will not turn on, I have tried switching outlets....it is the heater. Don't waste your money!

    Great little heater
    Love the size and the fact that there is a light on top showing when the heater is on. It is easy to work with all controls on top of the heater. Works perfectly for my office space.

    Good heater :D
    I think it works pretty well. Although it is smaller than expected, it does keep the room warm. At first, I thought it was defective because it kept shutting off unless I turn it up but turns out it's a temperature sensor. So if yours turns off by itself don't worry it's not broken, it just does that to not make the room and the heater over heat.

    It isn't working, from the start...
    It doesn't work! I've had other brands similar, but this one will work for a little while and then shut off, or will not come on at all. I plan to return it if I can figure out how.

    Do not buy
    I've bought 2. One works really well the other one I had to return because one day it just decided to not turn on. The one I received as a replacement worked for a few weeks and now this morning it also won't turn on unless it's on the lowest setting possible. Which won't heat anything and I have to go through the return process again. I recommend something else because 2 out of 3 were trash and not worth the money.

    Quit working one week in
    Used this daily in the bathroom to knock the chill off in the winter. Day 1-3 it did pretty good. Not as warm as my other prev tower heaters but it's about half the price so I expected it. By day 4 it would randomly stop working. It might have a sensor to keep it from overheating but running for a minute and shutting off is not right. Update one week in, it won't work at all. Won't come on. Nothing. Will be returning. This is the second pelonis brand this year that has been poor quality.

    Great heater especially for enclosed spaces
    This little thing is powerful !!! We've only used low setting so far because it's so strong and warms up the room wonderfully. I highly recommend! I don't think the sensor to automatically turn off works well though, it tends to just stay on even when the room is super hot.

    To Return or Not to Return. That is the question..
    I bought 2 of these heaters a few weeks ago. One of the heaters stopped working so I bought 2 more to make sure in this really cold winter to have a heater and for $25 each I felt it was better to buy more than to try and fix it. The biggest problem is the thermostat is faulty on this model. Well I decided to bypass the 2 broken thermostat ones (the second one finally stopped working) and now I have 2 heaters with only an on/off switch with all the functions. When it's almost 0 degrees who cares if the thermostat doesn't work at least we have heat. Being a machine repair person for over 40 years I found it not worth getting new thermostats. They are about half the price of the heater. Be ready to deal with a malfunctioning thermostat. If you can bypass it great. Just remember to turn if off unless the temperature is below freezing. In that case the heater will probably always be on so no use having a thermostat. I'm not returning it but if the supplier is willing to send me 2 thermostats to fix the 2 non thermostat models I would be most grateful. If not I just have to live with the fact that I need to turn off the heater when the room gets warm. Best of luck and Happy New Year!!!

    Good heater
    I'm using this in a small unheated bedroom (15x12) in ND and so far it has put out more heat than we actually need in there. Very quiet, easy to use, and small enough to fit anywhere.
