The box I got this in looked HUGE. When I opened it, there was a much smaller box enclosing this heater. As compared to my previous heater, this one looked a bit to small and underpowered. I have to admit now that I was wrong.Pros. 1. On max setting, It's pretty effective ( You HAVE to keep your feet at a distance )2. The noise is noticeable but bearable.3. Small and sleek4. Multiple settings availableCons 1. The grill in the front gets pretty hot. Might not be safe if you have baby @ home2. Does not oscillate3. The thermostat control didn't feel that responsive to me. It did make a difference..but not as much. What did make a difference were the 2 modes/settings
