Optimus H-84001 Portable 22-Inch Oscillating Carbon Barrel Heater with Remote Control



Broken in less than a year
I actually like this heater; it's quiet and keep you warm. However it broke in less than a year.
Bought this in July 2010, and broken on Feb 26, 2011.
We actually didn't use it very frequently; only about 1 - 2 hours a day.
Luckily Amazon willing to send me an replacement with no cost. Hopefully it will last longer this time.

I will write an update later for the replacement.

best heater I've ever had
I've been using this heater regularly for over a year now and it still works just like it did when brand new. When I got it, the remote didn't work. Amazon sent me a new heater with a new remote and the new remote also did not work. I eventually figured out that the batteries in the remote were dead so I had to replace the batteries. This is my first radiant heater. I'm never going back to forced air heaters again. It feels like a fire or the sun but it doesn't get so hot that you can't have things near it. It heats up very quickly. It doesn't dry out my skin like forced air heaters.

So far it's good
It's a bit soon to give a final answer about this space heater. It meets my expectations as far as function. It is attractive and seems to be of quality construction. I don't have an electric bill since I began using it and I don't know if it will last a year. Those are two important factors that can only be determined with time. Pardon me for withholding a glowing review, but experience has taught me that it's the long haul that matters.
