Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Don't get me wrong, this is a nice heater and works perfectly for our application (to heat our son's room which is located directly above the garage and thus colder than the rest of the house). I'll let the other reviews speak for most of the features of the unit. What I do have a comment on is the ComforTemp "energy-saving" technology, which in my opinion, is just part of the whole green marketing fad. This includes making products/features appear to be green when actually they are not necessarily so. The ComforTemp "feature" does nothing more than override the thermostat dial and set the thermostat on the unit to ~70 degF. The box shows in big letters "27% Energy Saving," but if you read the fine print, it says "Based on internal tests on same model comparing energy using the ComforTemp function versus adjustable thermostat at maximum setting." So they are claiming an energy savings versus the maximum thermostat setting that would make the room way too hot. This is like saying a light bulb is energy saving because you turn it on only when you need it, rather than leaving it on all the time -- i.e., it only saves energy when compared to an absurd, high-energy-consuming scenario. In our application, we actually save energy by not using the ComforTemp function, because we found that, with it turned on, the room gets heated to ~73 degF. We set the thermostat to a little above the "1" on the dial and that keeps the room at ~69 degF -- warm enough to keep our son from getting cold at night. If anything, call the ComforTemp feature a convenience feature -- for those who don't want to bother with the adjustable thermostat. Call it a night light feature -- because it emits a significant green glow. Just don't call it an energy-saving feature. In my opinion, the best thing to do would be to remove the ComforTemp function altogether and just charge less for the heater! But of course the market research probably shows that if you pretend it's green you'll sell more units ...
