  Holmes Energy Saver October 25, 2008
This unit heats quite nicely, but the on/off switch only works intermittently. When the switch won't work, and you use the plug to turn it off, it makes the house lights dim. I will probably buy a different heater.

I'm was surprised to find that this unit does not have a thermostat or power level settings, like the Holmes heater that it replaced after 5+ years of use. The new unit is extremely quiet and heats space very quickly. Only time will tell how energy efficient the unit is, but this unit does not dim the lights like the old unit when in use. So it appears it's energy usage is less. So far, I would say that these are great space heaters.

This heater does a nice job heating a small area. It's pretty quiet and the fan forced output is about what you'd expect from a fan set on "slow". Doesn't get hot to the touch. A little top heavy, falls over with very little help, but shuts itself off. Heat proximity breaker takes 30 minutes to reset, that's too long.
The automatic switching between 1000W and 1500W works, but it really needs an obvious manual LO/HI switch (it says three speeds in the writeup, I found two?). The switch to disable eco-save mode leaves it set at 1500W, which is too high on a shared bathroom circuit. Trips our house GFI breaker at least once every couple weeks, seems to be something to do with the tip-over shutoff.
