Title: toxic heat
Product review: I bought this in November, 2006 and wanted to use it in my bedroom while I kept the thermostat down in the rest of my apartment to save money. A plus for this item is its three settings, but the thermostat is very confusing to use. I can't say if the heater has saved me money or not. However, a BIG NEGATIVE is that it gives off a lot of fumes. the brochure says it only does this when its new but that seems to be very untrue. It smells a little like kerosene combined with a funky musky odor and it emits this constantly. I found myself getting sick: chills in my hands, feet and legs as well as shortness of breath. the heat it gives off is very good, a strong radiant heat that heats the whole room (my room is about 12' by 12'), but the fumes are actually a health hazard and I believe this heater should only be used if you are able to ventilate your room while you are heating it (which kind of doesn't make much sense).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
