(More customer reviews)Amazon states that this heater is 25x22x16. It is just over 13 inches tall and about 10 inches in diameter. This fan is about 1/4 the size I thought it would be. I don't know how Amazon came up with the dimensions they advertise.
The grills you see extend more than halfway around the unit. They oscillate in opposite directions, but they do not move far. The base itself does not oscillate, but it does have a step switch which turns the motion on and off.
At the strongest setting, one can barely feel the hot air blowing from the grills. Air only moves from the very center of the grills. I could not tell the difference between the 3 speeds, but when I adjusted the air speed downward, it quit blowing entirely.
Unlike other heaters I've had, the grills get hot enough to burn you if you touch them. I think they would also get hot enough to combust anything too close. I sacrificed a finger to it so that the rest of you won't have too! Interestingly, the sides of the grill where the heat doesn't blow were cool to the touch even though the center was extremely hot after running for a couple minutes.
I'm extremely disappointed in this fan. I would rather have 2 cheap fans from HD that would be safer and move more air. The oscillation is a joke since there is such a narrow range of movement.
I have pets and I don't want to take the chance one will bump into this and burn his nose. I don't see how the name "safeheat" applies when they use a metal grill.
This fan was engineered to LOOK like it works well, but it doesn't live up to it's promise. It does heat, however, so I guess it earned it's one star! Mine is going back to Amazon.
