My fiance and I LOVE this heater. It is by far the best deal we found on Amazon. We use it to heat our apartment living room instead of blasting the heat and running up electric bills for the whole house. It can heat our living room from ~50 degrees to ~70 degrees in 5-10 minutes on all high settings (i.e. high vent, highest temperature) and oscillating (our apartment living room is about 10x12 sq ft. The plating really helps the unit from being too hot to the touch, so you won't immediately burn yourself - or your pets or kids. The remote is very convenient, and we found that it fits perfectly into the "handle" part (on the back of the unit where you carry it) if the non-button side is inserted into the "handle" area. This is nice when we have friends over or are cleaning for guests -- we can keep track of the remote without having a pile of remotes on the coffee table. Overall, great product at a great price.
