I am pretty happy with this Holmes HCH4953-Uwhich I have bought recently. Compare to my recent bought Optimus H-5210 which only has 800W power, it is small and powerful (1500W), make a little bit noise when it’s up, because it is fan active, but still consider to be silent. It is also cool as it has auto control of temperature which you can set it up and leave. We use it at bed room about 18×20, turn on before sleep, did not feel cold at all, very good. Only thing I need mention is I have to set it as 70 degree to keep room at 65, it’s not a big deal though. Now it is Nov. not too cold, let’s see how far it will go as the real winter comes in.

Update – Dec 2009
Now when real cold weather kicks in, seems this little guy need more help on it’s power for a room of 18×20. I have added another 1500w of fan like heater, turn on both of them before sleep, so far so good.

I recently bought this Optimus H-5210 heater from Amazon, very happy with it so far. It has two 400W light tubes, total is 800W. Exactly like it was said on Amazon, very quiet, unlike the other fan like heater I have which makes weird noise if you don’t put it on maxmum heat power. My suggestion is put this close to you, for room like mine 8×10, 400W is good enough to keep you warm, not too hot, just cozy.

Update – Dec 2009
Oh still love this little one, again very quiet. Now is snowing out side, but in this 8×10 room, I am only use 400w, good enough.
