Amazon Basics Portable Oil Space Heater with 7 Oil-Filled Fins, 3 Heat Settings, Adjustable Thermostat, Tip-Over and Overheat Protection, ETL Safety Certificate, 1500W, Black

My room is small and has a very large window along with being located at the front of the house, so it’s the chilliest room in the house. Now that the weather keeps dropping lower and lower it’s gets almost too cold to sleep inside to the point where I have to layer up before going to bed. I have a small fan heater that I’ve been using, it works for the most part but the heat doesn’t remain, once you turn it off it goes right back to being very cold within 2-3 min and it only heats up one portion of the room. I was researching oil space heaters and found them to be much more superior to regular electric fan heaters. They take longer to heat up but the heat remains for quite a while even after turning it off. I was surprised to find this item for so cheap compared to its counterparts but lo and behold it works like a charm. Keeps me warm for hours and makes no sound. So in conclusion this is very good purchase for smaller to midsize rooms and I’d recommend just buying the mechanical version over the more expensive version it does the same thing.

This is a pretty good space heater. We put it in our kid’s room since there’s a bit of a chill in there when it gets cold outside. Has three settings: I, II, and III; plus a dial. It works well on II turned to minimum. I’ve put it mid-way between min and max and it gets too warm in his room. This will be the second year we’re using it. It works so well, I bought another one this year for my college student! For the price point, it’s definitely a good buy for a bedroom. Safe, warm- but not too hot to the touch; not very wide, so space-saving.

This heater puts out the heat!! My bedroom is pretty good size, and I have glass french doors out to the balcony, and this heater keeps the room nice a toasty in cold weather. Easy to set up, easy to use. Only complaint is temp control, even on the lowest power setting, it will crank out the heat, and it has a thermostat control, but with no markings at all, so it's a guessing game and you just have to play with it till you find the setting that's best for you. It's sturdy, and while it's tall, it doesn't feel like it want's to tip easily. Not good for around kids, this thing is HOT anywhere other than the handle on the front panel, and we all know kids can't keep their hands off anything!

Really a great space heater. The 3 settings give you flexibility, heats up fast. There isn't a fan, so it's quiet! I like the handle on the top so you can move it around and not get burned. It heats up my 12x12' room nicely. Amazon Basics are a great value.

Not sure why anyone would even keep these, I suppose in a very specific use case they could be fine, but the specifications are not correct and the terrible thermostat makes any reasonable temperature control impossible. The maximum amount of power this unit will draw is only about 900 watts, not 1500 W as is specified. I had multiple units shipped to me, as Amazon said they were defective, and each performed exactly the same. This leads me to believe that it is not in fact defective, but inherent design flaws or rampant and unacceptable levels of manufacturing flaws. All units pulled a maximum of just a little less than 900 watts on hi no matter what conditions I subjected them to. The unit just isn't capable of being set to heat at 1500 watts. The low setting is even lower, likely around 500 from my testing, though the low setting was not at all useful to me, so I did very limited testing. The other major issue, and really only other thing that can be wrong with something this simple, is the thermostat. It's supposed to turn on and off as it detects the temperature in the room fluctuating outside of the temperatures you have set. The thermostat however does not work at all and seems to just randomly display temperatures and come on. If it is an actual thermostat it is comedicly awful, to the point of being completely worthless to even have in the unit. I did extensive testing and the range of it's accuracy seems to be around plus/minus 6 degrees F when the unit is not on. This doesn't seem all that bad except for two important factors, the first being that the unit seems to allow a plus/minus three degree difference from the set temperature before turning on/off. Meaning your room could be as much as 9 degrees colder than you would like before the heater comes on, and heat to as much as 9 degrees over that temperature...well, if it weren't for the terrible thermostat that is. Once you factor the thermostat in the range is closer to plus minus 14 degrees F. However this detects temperature, the heating of the unit itself drastically effect the thermostat reading. In as small 110 sq. ft. room I used this and it started out reading 6 degrees f lower than the actual room temperature on a NIST traceable thermometer. In a matter of less than 15 minutes of being turned on high the unit reported it had raised the room temperature 14 degrees based on it's thermostat. The NIST traceable thermostat registered a 2 degree rise. The unit turned off and continued to cycle, eventually heating the room to 63 degrees after multiple hours of going back and forth between the thermostat reading 57 and 71. The temperature I had it set to was originally 65. At that setting it only heated the room to 60 degrees. I had to turn the unit all the way up to 75 to get it to heat the small room up to 63, while it read anywhere between 57 and 71. At no point did the unit pull more than 890 watts. After an entire 10 hours, even that small of a room never heated to 65. Meanwhile another radiator heater I have heated a room almost 3 times that size to 65 in less than 2 hours, and kept it within plus/minus 1 degree of the set temperature. The thermostat readings on that heater were within plus minus 2 at all times, and it pulled 1500 watts multiple times. I live in southern California, and the nighttime low was in the low 40s when I was running these tests. Subsequent heaters that were sent performed pretty much exactly the same. The design is awful, and the specifications are complete lies. There is no use case for this product, and no chance you will be happy with it unless you want a 900 w heater that doesn't have a working thermostat. I'm extremely disappointed in the product and the time I wasted trying to get it to work. Don't waste your time.

Small size. Works great. Heats a small room perfectly. I have well-insulated small home, in a mild climate area, with a chilly, rainy season - we have temps 5-10° C. for multi-week stretches, but rarely have <0°C. temps. Because of Raynauds, I cannot have blowing air. Moving air riggers episodes and I don't want to wear gloves inside my home [which is what I do at friend's homes and in public venues]. I would love to have radiant floor heat throughout my home, but do not, so I heat just the rooms I am using . My kitchen is warm from cooking activities, my small bathroom can be warmed before showers by a heated towel rack, a back room is kept closed off in cold weather, and my small living room [100 sq ft] is wonderfully heated by this Amazon Basics Oil-filled space heater - it's very economical heater. I have only used it on the lower settings. It is smaller and more efficient than the similar Delongi heater I happily used for 25 years until the switches broke and the power cord started overheating.

This oil-filled radiator is a decent unit, earning three stars for its strong performance in some key areas, but falling short where customization truly matters. The long-lasting warmth of this heater is excellent. The radiator technology truly retains heat, keeping the room comfortable even after the unit cycles off, which certainly speaks to its energy efficiency. It is also genuinely whisper quiet—a huge plus for use in bedrooms or quiet offices. The seven wavy fins seem to enhance heat dispersion, making the warmth feel even throughout the space. The portability is also great, making it easy to move between rooms. The major frustration, and the reason for the 3-star rating, is the inadequate temperature control. While the product boasts an "adjustable thermostat," this is a vague dial with arbitrary markings rather than a clear, numerical display or set-point (like 70°F). It has no ability to be set to a specific temperature degree. You are left to adjust the dial, wait for the room to feel "about right," and then constantly monitor it to prevent overheating or under-heating. The three heat settings (High, Medium, Low) are useful for managing power, but without being able to precisely lock in a target temperature, achieving true "customizable comfort" is a frustrating trial-and-error process.: It's a maintenance-free, safe, and silent source of heat that will certainly warm your room. However, if you prefer the convenience of setting a precise temperature and walking away, this manual control system will likely disappoint you.

Works well, arrived on time. I am very happy with this purchase. Kept my dog & I warm in my office. Everyday as we warmed up, I remembered to appreciate this heater. I noticed that I did not burn my hand when I accidentally touched the heater while it was on. I appreciated that.
