Best Space Heater?

The HCH4954 portable heater has some nice features that are normally only found in more expensive space heaters.

Holmes HCH4954 Specifications

The HCH4954 space heater is very light and portable, weighing just 4 lbs and standing only 18” high.

HCH4954 Features

VisiHeat is a color-changing display that lets you know how warm the space heater is. The eight rectangular shapes inside the grill of the space heater turn from light orange to dark orange as it gets warmer. Other features of this portable heater include a built-in Thermostat, Oscillating fan, single-button temperature set, twin-ceramic heating elements and tip-over safety protection. The twin-heating elements disperse heat at a wider angle, even when the fan is not oscillating. This is something you would expect find to find on one of the more expensive space heaters.

HCH4954 Space Heater Performance

The HDH4954 space heater is as whisper quiet as advertised. You will barely know you have it on. It is nice that a portable heater at this price includes a thermostat, but unless you intend to use it in a very small room for very lengthy periods of time, it is doubtful that you will find much use for it. A small space heater like this is best suited for warming up small areas for short periods of time, such as the area by a cold bathroom when taking a shower or bath. It would also be well suited for warming up your feet under your desk at the office. The oscillating fan does insure the heat is spread evenly around areas where you tend to be when you need it. The heating grill is slightly angled, and the space heater overall, will make for an inconspicuous, if not attractive addition to your bathroom, den or office. The HDH4954 space heater can be had for $39 - $49 and is a recommended product of Product Review Ratings (PRR).
