Great low wattage heater
By Jason M. Sutton on Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024
I have a few of these to keep my plants and small spaces warm. It has an internal heat cut-off at 150 degrees, but I use it with a more sophisticated heat controller. I have it set to 75 degrees and works well as an plant heater. The heater is made of thick metal with paint on the outside. The heat is concentrated toward the center, but the metal helps radiate it out to the edges, but definitely gets hotter in the middle. The back side does not get hot, but gets slightly warm. So, its safe to place on a surface. It is strong product and I place a couple 1'x1' concrete patio tiles on top of it to store the heat and dissipate it bit more. Overall very happy with this heater. Uses about 130w when it is on. They don't put out much heat, but for small spaces or to prevent freezing, its great.

eh...

Yes - It heats up. No - You won't feel the heat from it more than about 6 inches away from it. I have poor circulation to my feet. For years I've been searching for the best way to keep my feet comfortable in the winter at both of my desks (office and home). In both places I work on top of a concrete slab with low-pile carpeting (no pad). Once it gets to 45 deg.F outside, I start getting cold feet (in socks and shoes, or thick socks and slippers). I've tried numerous forced air heaters. Too often these little space heaters throw off too much heat and use too much energy, or they burn themselves up in a year. At my office I have a corner, so I have 2 outside walls to deal with. It will often be about 48 deg.F under my desk in the winter. I'm now using a pair of Lasko #100 MyHeat Personal Ceramic Heater, and it helps. At home I have a Vornado and this Cozy Legs Flat Panel Heater - often running them both at the same time. I tried the panel heater as suggested: mounted to the vanity panel on my desk - no noticeable comfort. I tried it on the sideboard of my desk (closer to my legs) and only noticeable comfort on the leg closest to it. Today I laid the panel flat on the floor (I know the directions say not to) and my legs and feet are much happier - as long as I wear my slippers to keep my feet from getting too hot, and as long as I keep my feet and legs over the panel. I don't see this as a long-term solution. My next trick will be a heating blanket on the floor at home. 3 settings and an auto-off timer. Maybe I'll try this panel heater at my office to warm a section of cold wall.
