Title: Quit after 4 months
Product review: I bought this heater new on November 7, 2011. While it does not heat the whole room, it warms if placed 4-5 feet from your work space. It ran approximately 4-5 hours per day. However, it quit working March 7, 2012, 4 months to the day I purchased it. Taking into account the shipping time, it worked less than that. Before purchasing, I researched several space heaters. I decided on an infrared rather than one with a fan because the fan on my last "milkhouse" type space heater quit suddenly, and the heater casing heated so fast it nearly burned my fingers when I tried to turn the setting to "OFF." The experience was a good reminder never to leave a space heater unattended.This Optimus H-5210 heater cost $28.00, so while not a terrible loss, I can't recommend it. The previous space heater was the least expensive brand I bought at Wal-mart in 2004 and lasted 7 years.The one positive thing I can say about the Optimus H-5210? It did not start a fire.
