Amazon Basics Ceramic Portable Mini Space Heater for Office Desk, Indoor Use, Fast Heating, Energy Efficient, 500W, With Tip-Over Protection, Lightweight 1.4 lbs, Black, 5.87"D x 3.15"W x 5.95"H

Mighty little beast! This heater warms up a room as well as a much larger space heater I already had. This one, however, doesn’t have the nasty smell when I first turn it on like my other one. This one is cute, quiet and quickly warms me up. It auto-stops when I pick it up to move it, which is a nice safety measure. Great purchase!

This mini space heater has made chilly office days much more comfortable. It heats up quickly and provides a noticeable warmth without being overpowering. The compact size makes it easy to keep on my desk without taking up much space, and it fits perfectly under a shelf or near my feet. The controls are simple and intuitive, so adjusting the heat is effortless. It also feels sturdy for its size, and the safety features give peace of mind when running it for longer periods. The ceramic design seems efficient, providing steady warmth without using excessive energy. Overall, this portable heater is a practical and reliable solution for keeping my workspace cozy, especially during colder months. It’s small but powerful enough to make a real difference.

Pretty good for the price. Very small but does the job. No way to change temp or volume of air just on and off.

(Update) I'm warming up to it now having moved it from underneath my desk to another place to the side. I've actually moved it a couple of places around my place and it's kind of becoming my new best friend. I do appreciate the safety feature underneath it that way if it falls forward it won't continue to operate. I do stand by my suggestion that they put graduating heat settings on it rather than just the one setting, but I understand for the price point that's what you're going to get. The biggest suggestion I could make, if they were to create a new model, would be to move where they OFF and ON button is because it's on the back, down at the bottom in the center, so you literally have to turn around the heater which means touching it and getting close to the heat to turn it off. I considered returning it before but it's proving to be useful and for the price point and the energy saving at 500 watts, you can't beat it. But again, this heater will probably get too hot to be placed right by your feet like say you're trying to hide it in an office space. In other words; it puts off a great deal of heat so depending on where you need to place it and whether or not you need it to be discreet and really close, or you're looking for something that puts off more heat that you can use to heat a small space will determine if this is the right heater for you. It is a good little heater that puts off a good amount of heat, and it's relatively quiet. My previous review titled, "One Setting - HOT"... This is a great little 500 watt heater puts off a tremendous amount of heat, so if you wanted to use this for a small space sitting it far away from you, this would be a great heater, and I highly recommend it for that situation. But in close proximity on top of your desk, or under your desk (which is what I needed for my feet because I have a desk placed in a cold corner of my house), you're going to get overwhelmed with heat. The other bad thing is; there's only one very heat setting, AND the button is on the BACK of the heater at the bottom, so you literally have to put your hand all the way around it to turn it around and turn it off. Ergonomically, it would be much better placed on top or on the side for easy access. Having a LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH setting with a more conveniently placed placed ON and OFF button would take this heater from good, to out of this world.

Love this heater ! Purchased for my desk @ work and loved it for the 2 years I have had it so much that I purchased another in pink for home! Great heat output and that sound it emits is like a hum. No remote but easy to plug in and go. The heater must be positioned on the floor for it to turn on. The red button on the bottom is a safety feature. This heater was turned facing plastic over night. Like touching the plastic. I came in to work and found it due to a plastic smell. This thing is safe! The metal on the front doesn’t get hot enough to burn. The plastic file I have is fine too. If it’s kicks over it turns off. My cat likes to go stick his face to it and it doesn’t harm him & he continues doing it.- trust I panicked heavily trying to keep him away 😅

I'm using this to keep a mini-greenhouse warm on cold nights. I bought 2 actually, as I added a second mini-greenhouse recently. I bought one heater to go in the new mini-greenhouse, then bought a second heater for the old mini-greenhouse after testing the first heater. These greenhouses are basically small 4 tiered wire shelves with a plastic cover. I was using a larger heater, which I had on hand, to heat the old mini-greenhouse. With the heater on the bottom shelf, I was unable to make use of the shelf above the heater, as my seed trays would deform from the heat. With this new, smaller heater, I don't have that problem. It heats the small space without difficulty, but at a low intensity, so I don't have to worry about my seed trays deforming. I removed/bypassed the safety switch because I have the heater sitting on a wire shelf rather than a solid surface. This is not the most powerful heater, but it's a very good heater, depending on your needs. The internals, besides the safety switch which I removed, are a typical plastic PC fan, the heating element, and the rocker-switch used for on-off. Very simple device, few failure points. Come to think of it, I didn't see any power adapter inside, but there must be one, since PC fans run on 12vdc. I googled it and apparently 120vac PC fans do exist, so maybe it's one of those instead. I'd open the heater again to double-check for a power adapter or maybe some hidden board with a voltage divider, but I'd have to undo all of my wire management inside one of the greenhouses, which I don't want to do. Anyway, I think the heating coil and fan both run off straight 120vac, without the need for any adapter.

So I love my personal space heaters. I had one like this years ago and I gave it away when I left my office job. I was excited to find this again for sure. What I like......... 1. The size is great, it doesn't take up much space and is nice looking. 2. This is super quiet ALMOST silent so it's not disturbing at all. 3. It does have a safety button underneath to shut it off just incase it tips over. 4. The cord is a generous length 5. The heat is very very hot. I didn't take a temp reading but it's hotter than my bigger ones. 6. Even brand new there is no burning smell while it's running. 7. There is a nice subtle red indicator light on the right side to let you know it's powered on. What I don't care for...... 1. Safety. While it does have the shutoff tip option, the front grill is metal and not plastic like my other heaters. The metal gets HOT and is enough to burn you if it's touched. This is especially bad if children use this. 2. There are not temp settings which means no dial to control anything BUT I understand because it's a cheap heater. Just putting it out there. 3. The power switch is on the back of the unit. This is fine for turning it on but after the front grill is lit up and burning hot you then burn your fingers because you need 2 hands to spin it and shut it off. If the button was on the top it would be fine. 4. Air flow is not very strong being it's only 1 speed but as I said in #5 above the heat is hotter than others I've had so it's a trade off. Recommendation: This is for older teenagers and adults and great for sitting at your keyboard to keep your hands warm. This will not heat up a room. Small children should NOT use this. The front grill is too much of a burn hazard on skin. If you are cold at work in your office this is perfect because no one will see or hear it. You just have to hope you don't pop the breaker from the amp draw. I would buy it again for ME but I won't be getting one for my daughter. It's not meant for kids.

Bought this for car camping after seeing a full time van lifer’s recommendation on LuLu’s channel. Very compact, fits in the built in recessed rear compartment over the wheel of my Hummer H-2 when not in use. Tested upon arrival & it heats up the car quickly using my Bluetti Power Station. Electric so No risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Great before I’m ready for bed. Combine with a hot water bottle in my sleeping bag & I’m snug as a bug in a . . . Sleeping bag.

Gran opción para no pasar frio sin embargo no calienta grandes áreas es mas personal, poner a tus pies en tu escritorio o tu sala, en una mesa al lado de la cama etc pero no calentará una habitacion

Calienta muy poco pero es bonito

Es pequeño, lo uso para calentar mi espacio de trabajo y cumple su cometido, no utiliza mucha luz, no esperes que caliente toda una habitación. Pero para pequeños espacios está bien y me duró todo el invierno. Compré dos opciones diferentes y el otro se quemó rápidamente y esté lo guarde para el próximo invierno. Si lo recomiendo.

This heater does not put out a tremendous amount of heat but there again it is small and compact. They said it was not recommended for outdoor use but I got it to put in an insulated shelter for a feral cat and works absolutely perfect.has been running 24/7for a month now in -35 to-15 degrees Celsius. And is the best purchase I could have made. Good roll ever shut down on it in case it gets knocked over which has never happened. It is the Perfect temp and I would not hesitate to buy it again. It is the ideal unit for a small closed or semi enclosed area. Can't beat it for that price. It is sturdy and well insulated. Does not get warm on sides and top. Am very pleased with it knowing it is not a fire Hazzard in any way. Elimited the need for a heated water dish also so it more than paid for itself .Wished I would have bought it sooner.

I recently got the Amazon Basics Ceramic Space Heater, Mini Heater, and we’ve been using it both on our camping trips and in one room in our basement. It really helps with the cold weather, providing quick and consistent warmth wherever we need it. The heater is compact and lightweight, making it easy to move around and set up in different locations. Despite its small size, it heats the space efficiently and keeps the room cozy without using too much power. Overall, this mini heater has been very practical and reliable. Whether we’re camping or just trying to warm up a chilly room at home, it does the job well and makes cold days much more comfortable.
