BLACK+DECKER Portable Space Heater, 1500W Room Space Heater with Carry Handle for Easy Transport

Amazing price, works great , compact , and very durable . If I had somewhere to put a second one I would definitely buy again

I bought two of these, for my wifes office and mine. Sometimes, old buildings have HORRIBLE a/c-heat systems. And sometimes, building have horrible maintenance guys that think a thermostat actually means a whole room is comfortable, regardless of questionable HVAC installations. That was at time the problem for me. Now, it just bad old building issues. This is a great heater, while dont expect miracles from the stout thing like broad heat impact. Legs cold? Floor. A side or should cold, desk. And smile. A great, great deal! Just now, I came on here thinking to buy a few more and give them to coworkers.

I didn’t expect much from these little heaters but they surprised me. They actually put out quite a bit of heat. I got tired of the gas bill (gas company has a monopoly where I live) so I shut the furnace down and got two of these. They really take the chill off and I have a big open concept downstairs. Don’t expect to heat your whole house to T-shirt temps but these definitely help!

The only problem Ive had with this is that obnoxious chemical odor from the manufacturing process that needs to be burnt off (smells like mixture of burnt plastic and magic smoke from a PCB fire). After youve used this for a week or two though it goes away. My bedroom is about 300 square feet, this makes the room steaming hot quickly. It blows the air forward and a little up for those who plan to keep this on the floor this is good for that. I keep it near my feet since extremities are colder than the core of your body, also heat rises so the coldest parts of my room are usually the floors. It has an internal thermostat that will automatically switch the unit on/off to maintain the temperture you set. Turn the unit on, crank the temperature dial to maximum and let it do its thing, once the room gets warm enough to your liking, lower the temperature dial slowly until the unit switches off, youve now found the ambient temperature you want to be at. At this point if it gets much colder than this, the thermostat will switch the unit on again automatically, which warms the room back up, once it reaches that ambient temperature again it will switch the unit off again automatically, simple!

Im returning it because its just too darn loud—just like Martys band in Back to the Future. I cant have it on while on Zoom calls or even while talking to someone seating next to me, and I can hear it from other parts of the house. If you want it to double as a white noise machine, then itd be great for that. Also, the dial on the left doesnt seem to do anything. My favorite thing about it was that it sort of looks like an owl.

Works

Soo I was skeptical and now that I have been having it almost for a month, it’s not to shabby. It’s good for an office or a room where you can put it on something to hit you and yeah it heats up for sure. It’s powerful heat that keeps you toasty. However I dislike that everyone I move it just a little bit it turns off. Idk it’s this weird automatic thing but it’s annoying cause it does it by itself. But yeah I like this thing for what it’s worth

This is to replace the heater I have had. Not the same output but also half the price of the original model.

Works perfectly. Amazing how fast it will heat up a room.

There are several reasons that Im giving a 3-star rating, with the first one being energy consumption vs effectiveness. Consider that the area this heater covers is rather restricted, as it will only heat a tiny section of a room, and the heat is noticeable only if youre standing close by. Otherwise, you will have to keep it on for a very long time to warm up a room/bathroom, which translates into unreasonably high costs of energy. And quite frankly, with the increased costs of utilities as of late, this might not be your best option.
