Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The master bedroom of my house is over the garage and the farthest room from the furnace, and so needs supplemental heat every winter. I was looking for a silent heater (e.g. not fan assisted), with a front surface that wouldn't get hot to the touch (safe for kids and pets), that has a thermostat (so can just set and forget) and which was attractive enough to be visible in the room for four months every year. This seemed to fit the bill and it meets the aforementioned criteria, but has two fundamental flaws which led to me returning it. 1) As soon as it starts heating, the heat it gives off skews it's internal thermostat and so it immediately thinks the room is much warmer than it actually is. The pic attached to this review shows that the heater thought it was 75 degrees in the room when it was actually 68. So judging what temperature to set the unit to overnight to keep the room tolerably warm (e.g. 66-70 degrees) is impossible because you actually need to set it to 78-80 and hope for the best. 2) The heat won't click on until the temperature sensed by the thermostat is 4 degrees lower than the set temperature. So if you set the unit to 70, it won't do anything until it drops down to 66, and as per flaw #1 it will then almost immediately shut off because the heat being on skews the thermostat. If I set a heater to a specific temperature, I want it to stay closer than 4 degrees to the target temp, because the difference between 66 and 62 on a cold winter's night is pretty stark. So if you need a heater for a bedroom overnight that you can just set to a desire temperature and leave it, this will NOT work for you, don't buy it, and ignore any reviews that state otherwise because they're presumably paid-for reviews. If you want an attractive heater for a living area or entryway that you can just crank to the max temperature and switch off manually when you feel warm enough, this probably would work for you. And with regards to the common complaints about changing the unit from Celsius to Fahrenheit, it is a little tricky but doable, just read the instructions and the Amazon Q&A on this page, you'll figure it out eventually after a few attempts like I did. One review of this product says that the instructions to change from C to F aren't in the manual, which, er, they are.
