Amazon Basics Ceramic Portable Mini Space Heater for Office Desk, Indoor Use, Fast Heating, Energy Efficient, 500W, With Tip-Over Protection, Lightweight 1.4 lbs, Black, 5.87"D x 3.15"W x 5.95"H

This little heater has been a lifesaver. We are in a rental and need heat in our bathroom and bedroom at times - we aren’t used to the climate. Didn’t want to spend a lot on a product we can’t take with us. The price was right, but it’s also a gem of a heater. Although there is only an on/off button and no different settings for temp, and no cool fan, it’s nice and simple, small enough to fit in small spaces. The heat it puts out is gentle, not a blast of too-hot air. It heats up the room and makes no noise. Sturdy base. Closing the door to the room means a few minutes later you will have a softly warm room. I plan to get more when I return to mypermanent home.

This mini space heater has made chilly office days much more comfortable. It heats up quickly and provides a noticeable warmth without being overpowering. The compact size makes it easy to keep on my desk without taking up much space, and it fits perfectly under a shelf or near my feet.The controls are simple and intuitive, so adjusting the heat is effortless. It also feels sturdy for its size, and the safety features give peace of mind when running it for longer periods. The ceramic design seems efficient, providing steady warmth without using excessive energy.Overall, this portable heater is a practical and reliable solution for keeping my workspace cozy, especially during colder months. It’s small but powerful enough to make a real difference.

Love this heater ! Purchased for my desk @ work and loved it for the 2 years I have had it so much that I purchased another in pink for home!Great heat output and that sound it emits is like a hum. No remote but easy to plug in and go.The heater must be positioned on the floor for it to turn on.The red button on the bottom is a safety feature.This heater was turned facing plastic over night. Like touching the plastic. I came in to work and found it due to a plastic smell. This thing is safe!The metal on the front doesn’t get hot enough to burn.The plastic file I have is fine too.If it’s kicks over it turns off.My cat likes to go stick his face to it and it doesn’t harm him & he continues doing it.- trust I panicked heavily trying to keep him away 😅

(Update) I'm warming up to it now having moved it from underneath my desk to another place to the side. I've actually moved it a couple of places around my place and it's kind of becoming my new best friend. I do appreciate the safety feature underneath it that way if it falls forward it won't continue to operate. I do stand by my suggestion that they put graduating heat settings on it rather than just the one setting, but I understand for the price point that's what you're going to get. The biggest suggestion I could make, if they were to create a new model, would be to move where they OFF and ON button is because it's on the back, down at the bottom in the center, so you literally have to turn around the heater which means touching it and getting close to the heat to turn it off. I considered returning it before but it's proving to be useful and for the price point and the energy saving at 500 watts, you can't beat it. But again, this heater will probably get too hot to be placed right by your feet like say you're trying to hide it in an office space. In other words; it puts off a great deal of heat so depending on where you need to place it and whether or not you need it to be discreet and really close, or you're looking for something that puts off more heat that you can use to heat a small space will determine if this is the right heater for you. It is a good little heater that puts off a good amount of heat, and it's relatively quiet.My previous review titled, "One Setting - HOT"...This is a great little 500 watt heater puts off a tremendous amount of heat, so if you wanted to use this for a small space sitting it far away from you, this would be a great heater, and I highly recommend it for that situation. But in close proximity on top of your desk, or under your desk (which is what I needed for my feet because I have a desk placed in a cold corner of my house), you're going to get overwhelmed with heat. The other bad thing is; there's only one very heat setting, AND the button is on the BACK of the heater at the bottom, so you literally have to put your hand all the way around it to turn it around and turn it off. Ergonomically, it would be much better placed on top or on the side for easy access. Having a LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH setting with a more conveniently placed placed ON and OFF button would take this heater from good, to out of this world.

This heater is small and discrete so nobody at work knows that I have it. It has a safety button on the bottom to automatically turn off if it tips over to prevent any fire hazards. A perfect item to purchase especially at any workplace where building maintenance personnel are unreliable on maintaining their AC unit.

TL/DR: Quick heating, quick to cool down, has a minimal footprint, and at 500 watts it hasn’t blown my fusebox yet like my oil filled radiator heater is wont to do. It’s obviously underpowered for bigger rooms and/or distances, so it’s on you to know what you are really looking for in a space heater.----I picked up this little dynamo on Prime Big Deals Day or whatever-it-was-called, in October 2023. If you don’t need it right this second, you can probably get it delivered for less than an Andrew Jackson.I think that after you count out purchasers who are using this heater for their personal workplace space, the next biggest category of buyers might turn out to be those who want to take a bit of the winter chill off of popping into the shower. Why? Maybe, for example, they live with a family member who tends to run about 20 degrees warmer than themselves, the sort of individual who goes sleeveless in winter, on a snow day, and they accommodate that co-habitant’s needs by keeping the thermostat low and wearing sweaters. But for a few activities, showering being among these, they prefer a bit more warmth in the room. Who knows? I’m just speculating.If that’s your idea for this heater, however, you should be aware that the instructions in the box caution against using the heater in a bathroom, or any room where there is running water, or where water might run from one place to another, or maybe in the same general place. A laundry room, for example.In this litigious society, I’m not about to suggest that this prohibition is overly broad or more about protecting the vendor/manufacturer than about preservation of common-sense product utility. That would be an unwise speculation on my part.I will say that a hypothetical user of this space heater, employing a modicum of common sense, keeping the bathroom sink securely off and towels away from this unit, might well enjoy a higher degree of personal safety than another, again hypothetical, office worker with a messy desk full of papers and an overflowing trash can. If this second hypothetic user, additionally, has a Big Gulp ™ with a loose lid on the desk near the heater, I’d say that the situation would be even more dire!4.5 stars. 3 stars for heat output in absolute terms, not that you necessarily need a blast furnace for every use case. 1 star for temperature control. The on/off button is the temperature control. Four stars for safety, not that Amazon asked me to rate that one. I don't consider any space heater particularly "safe" but ceramic is certainly relatively safe and the little prongy thing on the bottom that turns the unit off if it doesn't touch an unyielding surface is a very good idea, one that will hopefully keep folks from trying to run it sitting on a nice combustible quilt, or something.I call mine “Peanut Hamper”. Viva La Cerritos!**If you know, you know.

So I love my personal space heaters. I had one like this years ago and I gave it away when I left my office job. I was excited to find this again for sure.What I like.........1. The size is great, it doesn't take up much space and is nice looking.2. This is super quiet ALMOST silent so it's not disturbing at all.3. It does have a safety button underneath to shut it off just incase it tips over.4. The cord is a generous length5. The heat is very very hot. I didn't take a temp reading but it's hotter than my bigger ones.6. Even brand new there is no burning smell while it's running.7. There is a nice subtle red indicator light on the right side to let you know it's powered on.What I don't care for......1. Safety. While it does have the shutoff tip option, the front grill is metal and not plastic like my other heaters. The metal gets HOT and is enough to burn you if it's touched. This is especially bad if children use this.2. There are not temp settings which means no dial to control anything BUT I understand because it's a cheap heater. Just putting it out there.3. The power switch is on the back of the unit. This is fine for turning it on but after the front grill is lit up and burning hot you then burn your fingers because you need 2 hands to spin it and shut it off. If the button was on the top it would be fine.4. Air flow is not very strong being it's only 1 speed but as I said in #5 above the heat is hotter than others I've had so it's a trade off.Recommendation: This is for older teenagers and adults and great for sitting at your keyboard to keep your hands warm. This will not heat up a room. Small children should NOT use this. The front grill is too much of a burn hazard on skin. If you are cold at work in your office this is perfect because no one will see or hear it. You just have to hope you don't pop the breaker from the amp draw. I would buy it again for ME but I won't be getting one for my daughter. It's not meant for kids.

Pretty good for the price. Very small but does the job. No way to change temp or volume of air just on and off.

Es pequeño, lo uso para calentar mi espacio de trabajo y cumple su cometido, no utiliza mucha luz, no esperes que caliente toda una habitación. Pero para pequeños espacios está bien y me duró todo el invierno. Compré dos opciones diferentes y el otro se quemó rápidamente y esté lo guarde para el próximo invierno. Si lo recomiendo.

Pensé que era más grande ya que no ví las reseñas, Pero si ví que era el más comprando, y ya entiendo porque...Es pequeño pero NO POTENTE!!💨 ✨,Calienta muy rápido, lo pongo en el piso y calienta todo un cuarto, su tamaño no es nada comparado a su potencial al calentar, ME ENCANTÓ ✨

esta bien si es solo para una persona, pero si quieres calentar una habitación aunque sea pequeña, para nada sirve.. aparte lo tienens que tener muy cerca de ti. Para mi esta bien, solo considera que es personal...

I recently got the Amazon Basics Ceramic Space Heater, Mini Heater, and we’ve been using it both on our camping trips and in one room in our basement. It really helps with the cold weather, providing quick and consistent warmth wherever we need it.The heater is compact and lightweight, making it easy to move around and set up in different locations. Despite its small size, it heats the space efficiently and keeps the room cozy without using too much power.Overall, this mini heater has been very practical and reliable. Whether we’re camping or just trying to warm up a chilly room at home, it does the job well and makes cold days much more comfortable.

Gran opción para no pasar frio sin embargo no calienta grandes áreas es mas personal, poner a tus pies en tu escritorio o tu sala, en una mesa al lado de la cama etc pero no calentará una habitacion
