I wanted a quiet heater to use in my den in the evening. I watch TV in this room and didn't want a noisy heater that competed with it, forcing me to raise and lower the volume to adjust for a noisy heater fan. This heater is the quietest fan-forced unit I've tried, and I've tried quite a few. The only heaters quieter than this one would be the micathermic or oil-filled models. The micathermic ones only heat up the area directly in front of the panel and not the whole room, and the oil filled heaters take way too long to heat up.
Now for the bad news......the digital thermostat. First off, the settings are in five degree increments, rather than one degree. If I set it for 65 the heater brings the room up to about 68 then shuts off. That's fine, but then the room will drop to 63 or 64 and the heater doesn't come back on. I'm either going to be hot or cold. If I set the unit to 70, after reaching 75 degrees it still runs----totally unacceptable. If Holmes improves the thermostat they would have a decent little heater here. Oh, one other thing. There are two output settings, low and high. They only control fan speed. The heater uses 1500 watts at both settings, unlike most other models.

Product Description:
Keep cozy in the wintertime with this twin ceramic heater. From Holmes, the 1500-watt heater oscillates for better spread heat dispersion. Best used as an enhancement to a heating system, the heater independently can provide comfort during cool mornings and evenings in the fall and spring.
The heater features a flame-resistant plastic body and twin ceramic heating elements. To prevent burns and other accidents, the heater uses Holmes' ViziHeat color-coded system to notify users visually when the power is on or the grill hot to touch. A GE motor powers the heater quietly. The LED digital panel displays the current temperature. Users adjust the heat by toggling through preset options on Holmes' trademarked 1Touch thermostat. To ensure safety, the heater cuts power automatically if knocked over and requires manual resetting before resuming operations. A back-up fuse is included in the event of overheating. Read the manufacturer guidelines and instructions thoroughly prior to use. Holmes covers the heater under a limited five-year warranty. This unit measures15.16 by 8.5 by 7.68 inches and weighs 7 pounds upon shipping.
