Let me start by saying, this little gray box has been a game-changer during winter! The Heat Storm HS-1500-ILODG isn't just another space heater - it's become my trusty sidekick when temperatures drop.

The built-in thermostat with LED display is SO convenient. I can actually see the room temperature at a glance (no more guessing games!), and it maintains the perfect warmth without constantly adjusting. The remote control is clutch when I'm bundled up on the couch and don't want to move.

What really impressed me was how it handles moisture in the air. Unlike other heaters that leave my skin feeling like parchment, this one uses some fancy HMS Technology to keep the air comfortably humid. No more waking up with that awful dry throat feeling!

Mobility? Check. The optional casters make it a breeze to roll from my home office during the day to the bedroom at night. And at just 15" tall, it tucks neatly into corners without being an eyesore.

Now for the real test - performance. In my moderately insulated living room (about 250 sq ft), this baby holds its own as primary heat. When our central heating struggles during extreme cold snaps (we're talking sub-zero Fahrenheit), the Heat Storm picks up the slack beautifully.

The energy-saving mode is genius - cuts power in half when you just need maintenance heat. Over two winters of use, I've definitely noticed savings on my energy bill compared to running our furnace constantly.

A few things to note: While most users report years of reliable service (like me!), there are occasional reports of touchpad issues after heavy use. Also, if you're expecting instant blast-furnace heat, this provides more gradual, even warmth - which I actually prefer.

Final verdict? Whether you need supplemental heat or a primary source for small spaces, this heater delivers exceptional value. It's earned permanent spot in my winter survival kit!
