I'm sure if you're reading this, you're going through the Cold Snap that the US is going through. We live in Florida, and it's cold here (40's), but not as cold as other places, I know. However - because we're not use to the cold, and our house thermometer wasn't keeping up with the desired temperature, we ordered 3 of these Melbors Compact Indoor Space Heaters. Soooo glad we did, and I was thrilled that it arrived just one day after placing the order, cause we're cold! No assembly required; just took it out of the box, read the directions and plugged it in. We're all warm and toasty now, and find it easy to operate. Not noisy at all - just a slight, mild pleasant sound. The remote is certainly handy, and because we have young children in the house, we keep it up and away from their small, curious hands. However, we feel relieved that if if is knocked over, it will automatically shut off. We set each of the 3 heaters on different temperature, with a 12-hour cut-off timer, which is also a relief. Love the oscillating feature and the built-in handle for safety purposes. Get it!
