Okay, so I caved and bought this little black box during our recent polar vortex - best decision ever! This heater is like a personal sun for my freezing toes at my home office desk.

The 3-second heat-up is no joke. I literally count 'one Mississippi' and boom - warm air! Two settings (200W/500W) are perfect for when I need gentle warmth vs. Arctic blast mode.

Safety features? Check! It shuts off if my clumsy self (or my cat) knocks it over. The ABS material stays cool to touch which is great since I'm paranoid about burns.

Pro tip: Keep doors/windows closed like the manual says - it makes a HUGE difference in small spaces. My bathroom feels like a spa now!

Only con? Don't try running it on weak power sources. My buddy's portable generator couldn't handle the high setting during our camping trip.

At this price, I might buy another for my mom. It's that good. Winter who?
