Very nice
This heater is very nice for the "draftier," colder room(s) that your central heating system can't reach. It also assures that heat, at the right temperature, is in the room when your central heater system's thermostat is in the hallway!
Consumer reports gives it high ratings and rightfully so; it is a simple, easy to use heater that is very quiet when it is on NON-FAN mode. Other space heaters with temperature settings only have a fan or electrical noise when they start up and stay on; this can wake you (or the baby/kids) up at night. This heater doesn't have that rude awakening "turn-on-and-start-the-heat-up" noise when your temperature drops below a certain point; it just releases the heat slowly. If you're a light sleeper, this heater is kind to your ears.
Like other space heaters, it has a quick heat FAN mode that can rapidly expel heat. Some owners may say that the fan is noisy, but it's relatively more quiet than the previous space heaters with fans that I've used...
Honeywell HZ-817 Baseboard heater
On December 12th 2010 I ordered a Honeywell HZ-817 Baseboard heater. I'd read the reviews posted on Amazon and also checked with Consumer Reports who gave it a high rating. It arrived about 10 days later. We set it up in our 11' x 11' bedroom and it worked great. It provided a constant heat (we like it about 62 to 64 degrees) and without the fan it was completely silent. That lasted about a month. Then it stopped working. I tried calling customer service but the wait was too long so I sent an email instead. I received a reply a couple of days later at first offering to have me ship it to Massachusetts (I live in Maine)for an exchange. A subsequent email alerted me to the fact that they didn't have any more of those models in stock and didn't know when they would. Because of the time of year she offered to ship me a lesser model, the HZ-617 without the Energy Saver mode, and waive the shipping fees. I declined the offer and will ship it to the Memphis warehouse with a 4 to 6...
Honetwell HZ817
We purchased this heater after reading a Boston Sunday Globe review. The Globe tested Eden Pure and several other heaters and gave the Honeywell HZ817 five stars. We turn the oil heat down in the main part of our large house and use the heater in our family room...Works like a charm!!! We love the fast Convection Heat feature and also give this heater five stars*****.
