Powerful Heater
I had a coworker who would turn the AC down so low, I would have to wear a sweater in the office in the middle of a desert summer. I figured I should be prepared for the future in case I run into a coworker like him again, so this portable heater is perfect. This heater isn't too bulky and is super lightweight, so it's easy to travel with. It gets hot quick and stays hot on the lowest setting. I can't imagine having it set to the highest setting where I live because it's so powerful. I like that it even has a feature where you can use the heater as a cooling fan instead; although, the fan element isn't as powerful as the heater. This will be great for some extra warmth in the coming season.

    Great price and works well!
    I really like the small space heater. Had the Presto dish. Reasons I like the Mainstays one: (1) it's small and can be placed or carried anywhere easily, (2) I like the fan-force heat; it warms the area quickly (I had the heat in the mid-range and the fan on %232); with the Presto one I could feel the warmth only when standing in front of it, (3) the price is excellent, $23 vs $90; I can buy more than one without concern about the price. The noise level (at %232) might be an issue for some. It doesn't bother me. In consideration of the other good features, I can work around it. I'm glad I got it and would highly recommend it.

    Mainstays 1500 Watts Ceramic Heater
    I would give this product a 4/5 because it’s very very small but it does put out a lot of heat for one room and one room only. It has 2 knobs to adjust and if it is knocked over accidentally it will shut off and turn back on automatically when it is sitting up properly.

    The perfect heater for small rooms. AA
    The best little heater I've ever owned and it costs less than $30.00. I've used it for a month in my bedroom and it heats the entire room quickly and evenly. It's attractive and easily operated. I love the different settings so you can choose the heat level and intensity. So glad I decided to check at my local Walmart store before ordering from another discount store. I highly recommend this heater for anyone.

    i am on my 4th one in 2 yrs. I only use one afew hours a day but they don't last over a season. I live in Texas and winters are mild and short. I replaced one in Oct that was only a few months old and its replacement just started smoking on 2nd temp setting. It has maybe 25 hours of use. Ill go with another brand after this.

    Lots of heat
    Lots of heat from a small heater. Great for smaller rooms. Fan blows pretty strong with two settings. Off on tilt is a great feature. Very happy with so much heat from such a tiny heater. And we’re saving a little on the power bill by supplementing the central heat with this little guy.

    Small but Mighty
    I was a little disappointed to pick this up and see how small the box was. But it does an AMAZING job at heating up my desk space! Within less than 10 minutes, the temp in my office went up by 5 degrees, and kept going. So it's small but mighty! While it doesn't bother me while I work, it's a bit too noisy to try and nap (even though I like white noise while I nap). If I like my white noise at a 3 (enough to silence chirping birds or background tv noise from another room), this is white noise at about a 6.

    I like the size and design. Small and lightweight if you lift it up it cuts off automatically. It heats my laundry room even when it was 23° out it was 80° INSIDE.

    Absolute JUNK
    Doesn't operate unless the fan is turned on. Fan defeats the tiny bit of heat this piece of junk produces....makes you feel colder not warmer. A million warnings restrictions on how to use it. Unless you want an expensive and loud fan, to cool you, don't waste your money!

    solid unit used in freezing conditions
    tried quite a number of small heaters old new borrowed used and sorta fixed and 90% failed! used them in a 24/7 outside single digit conditions haphazard shelter build for a family of strays 6ft by 3ft 4ft high i was looking at a $64 unit wanting 1 to last but was out of stock, this unit was available so i figured snow storm was going to hit and they needed something now well so far this Mainstays 1500W Ceramic Heater has been running 2 weeks temp dropped to14f best little heater i have ever used to date!!! and is close to the same price as the cheap space heaters, the solid way this 1 preformed in extreme "not intended for conditions"makes it a proven unit in my book!

    5 stars so far!
    I honestly didn't expect much. I get cold really easy, and I needed a heater to put under my desk to chase the chill away--a replacement for another brand that no longer worked. This time of year the pickings are slim. High on a shelf, I saw this. There are four settings: one fan only and three heat (fan, 1, 2

    Great buy
    For the price this thing is amazing. Significantly smaller than I thought it would be but it can put out heat! It's really nice that you can either put it on full blast and it will go continuously or you can turn it down and it will turn on and off based on the heat in the room. The carrying handle is super convenient and the tip over feature is great because I have tipped it over a few time on accident. Overall super pleased with this heater.

    Amazing heater
    I love this heater. It's cheap but it works so well. I use it to heat my room so it is a small space but after 30minutes- a few hours (depending on the weather) I get hot with it on and have to turn it off. And the room will stay warm for me through the night. I cannot recommend it enough.

    Turns off at min??
    Cute little space heater. I feel like it takes awhile to fully heat up my room and when it does my room is just comfortable. Not hot even when I have it on Max. A question I have though, is when I start to turn it towards min, it turns off. I have attached a photo exactly where the heater turns off/: not sure if I have a defective product or it is supposed to do that?

    Must have for cold weather.
    Needed to replace a similar item. This works so much better. Heat an small area without killing my thermostat. Love the safety feature button. If it gets knocked over it shuts off. Love the instant it's on you get warm directional hearing. (P.s. the old one was used daily in the winter. It was years old and well used and the heat element finally gave out... so I love this type of heater.)

    Worked great for two months
    I bought this little heater in October 2020. It worked great, fairly quiet, heated my little office perfectly. This morning it died. December 12, 2020. This is so disappointing. It does have a one-year warranty on it, but I didn't keep the box or paperwork. You might want to do that if you buy this heater!
