Comment:
What everyone seems to have missed, including CU, is that this heater is specifically designed to be used in bathrooms. It includes a bracket for wall-mounting, and the AC plug assembly has a built-in ground-fault interruptor.<br /><br />For bedrooms or family rooms you'd want other features. For a bathroom, you need a GFI, and you won't find another heater anywhere near this price that has one.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Not what I hoped for

Comment:
I bought this heater to heat my RV while in storage. The digital thermostat only has a range from 65 degrees to 85 degrees. My intentions were to keep the temp around 40 degrees in the RV. The thermostat ranges were not available but I assumed that being digital having the ability to set the temp control to 40 would be no problem. CR should include temp ranges in their ratings. I would recommend the heater as long as a wide temp range is not important to you.<br /><br />Disappointed
