I have been looking for a decent fan heater for some time and finally decided upon this one.. On the whole, I am impressed with the build of the fan heater - it's not made of plastic and so feels pretty sturdy. Also, the design of it is fantastic for those aiming for a retro life, or a little bit of style - many fan heaters out there look like something your grandparents would own...
The fan has 3 settings - 1. Summer use (cool air), 2. heating at low power (1.5kW?) and 3. heating at maximum power (3 kW). When setting the thermostat, you need to wait until the room temperature gets to where you want it, and then slowly turn the knob/thermostat on the back until the light goes out and the fan turns off. At that point, the fan heater will continue to maintain the temperature it is set at, happily turning itself on and off to do this. Furthermore, the heater itself has 2 positions it will happily sit in, either parallel to the floor or at a 45degree angle to it (that is, the floor). These are ample, don't reckon you would need any other positions. Incidentally, the fan is quiet (comparatively, that is) and does not make any loud noises that I have heard other (cheaper) fans make.
However, the reason for giving it 4 stars and not 5 is that it lacks a few functions that other fan heaters have. Firstly, the thermostat is not variable, and therefore you cannot set it at a particular temperature (like, for example, 22 degrees) which the heater would then attempt to maintain. In some ways I would have preferred being able to stipulate a precise temperature, rather than guessing at hot and cold. Secondly, the little heater does not oscillate. This isn't such a problem right now, but when im using this fan in the summer I may regret my purchase.
Overall, however, the look of this fan heater is brilliant, well designed and funky (which I did not even realise heaters could be!). The build quality is superb. Therefore I was willing to sacrifice the thermostat and oscillation in favour of design - but if you value functionality rather than design you might want to make a different purchase.
