Pro Breeze Mini Heater - 500W Ceramic Fan Heater with Built-in Thermostat, Heat Dial, Overheat & Tip-Over Protection - Personal PTC Electric Fan heater Ideal for Over or Under Desk Heating

I"ve used one for about 12 hours off a tapo alexa compatible plug socket that tracks power usage which shows this uses about 550W power consumption per hour. I wanted a low power heater so i could use it to slowly heat and maintain the room temperature without breaking the bank rather than having the central heating on heating the whole house for as long. We already have a couple of older 2Kw heaters but they use so much power that leaving them on feels expensive. Of course i could have them clicking on and off on a timer or thermostat but more even heating avoids a yoyo of room temperature once we get past the fact it takes longer to get the room up to the right level. The timer socket lets me start it on a schedule before i'll be in the room so the lower power with a bit of planning is a feature not a drawback. It is relatively low power so unless you have really good insulation is better suited to single bedrooms or converted garage rooms. I have been impressed enough to buy a second one. We have house batteries which were fitted as part of a roof solar panel system and have a cheap rate tariff for overnight electricity that lets us fill the batteries overnighr at 8p per Kw. So this pair of heaters keeps 2 rooms warm for 8p per hour using just a touch over 1kw per hour. More powerful heaters would require more careful use which we'd likely get wrong some of the time and cancel out the gains we're hoping for. Are they warm? Yes... if you sit in line with them you can feel the benefit quickly while the room around you heats gradually. There is nothing magic or better about the ceramic part of these heaters, it justs helps keep the heater fan itself insulated from its own heating wire element i think. That makes them a bit safer and allows them to be snaller than otherwise. They are well made as far as i can tell, have a good safety switch inbuilt in case they get knocked over, have a good slightly upward angled front. The on off switch is built into a rotary dial that alliws you to set a relative cut off. I always use mine on 100% as its still only 550W but i think it is a thermal cut off to make it cut off and come back on each time the unit reaches whatever the level is for the dial. That's not the room temperature as far as i can see, it's the inside of the heater unit itself. I really like them, ceramic hype aside, and may even get a 3rd one!

I bought this to keep at work as the heating in the building can be unreliable. It works really well. I sit on an office that isuch bigger for the intended purpose of the heater, and it does keep the chill out of the air when I point it into the room if the heating isn't working. It's a good small size and folds away nice and neatly in its box so I can store it in my desk drawers. Very easy to use, and very quiet, I can barely tell it's on. It's one of those that only when you turn it off you notice it was making any kind of noise as the noise is now gone.

Seems a great little heater, I bought it for use in my converted camper van, I run off grid, batteries and solar panels with an inverter to give me 230v electric, so wanted something low wattage to replace the noisy diesel heating I had previously installed. The big test will come in the colder months when I will run it overnight, but just to try it, I run it for a while and it did seem to heat the space brilliantly. As per other comments, the dial on the front is solely a thermostat, not a heat level control, but, it seems to work fine, once the interior of the van reached optimal temperature, the heater cuts out,restarting again when the temp drops, just as it should with a thermostaticly controlled heater. Only 4 stars, as I haven't yet had the opertunoty to run it for extended periods. But, I have no doubts it will be fine for the task, with minimal drainage on my batteries.

This is a good personal heater useful to sit under a desk (which captures the heat) and warm you whilst working. It is perfect for this use, and calculating electric cost about 6 hours of use constant use on max settings (Oct 24) costs about 70p. It has one heat output setting (there is no variable output) and the dial on top is a thermostat, which means the heater will turn off after it reaches the set temperature and come back on once it drops below. This increases energy efficiency but if you have it on anything other than max means it will cut out occasionally until it feels the need to heat again. The anti tip function works well, the heater is not excessively noisy, and it looks nice and appears to be of good build quality as with most Pro Breeze products. Be warned: it is not a room heater and is not advertised as such, and having used it in my 5 x 5m (ish) lounge it did a very poor job of giving any lasting warmth. Definitely best under or on a desk to keep you warm whilst working on chilly days.

Lovely little heater, took the chill off in our camper van when left on over night. Set the dial at 3 o clock and it kicked in and out keeping the van just right. Not too noisy either, great value for the money, 👏👏

I was really looking forward to trying this heater when it arrived a few days ago. However, when I plugged it in and switched it on, it began to emit smoke. There was no heat and the fan didn’t seem to run, and shortly after, the unit turned off completely. I unplugged it right away for safety. It seems I may have received a defective item, which is disappointing because the heater itself looks like it could be a great product if it worked properly. I’m hopeful this was just an isolated issue.

I used this heater on my desk to keep my hands warm while I typed. It blew out a good amount of heat, didn't push our bills up at all really, and it also would turn itself off if it was knocked off the desk which was a great safety feature. Unfortunately after 9 months (but only used for an hour or so a day for 2 of those months) the fuse has gone on it, and it's no longer working. Obviously it's good that the fuse has proved to be safe, but not a great time of year for it to leave me in the cold...!
