"I was looking for a spaceheater for my infant sons bedroom because it gets chilly at night, but the rest of the house is too warm when we turn the thermostat up. I liked this product after reading reviews because customers said it was cool to the touch, and safe to use around kids. I received the heater today and was anxious to try it out. I assembled it, plugged it in, and turned it on. After the heater was on for less than 1 minute, I touched it to see how warm it was, and it burned my hand! I cannot imagine what damage or pain it could cause to a young child who accidentally touches it or gets too close to it. Because of this, I also don't feel it is safe against starting a fire if knocked over, as the product description and other customer reviews state.
I was very disappointed with the heater. It is a good quality heater, and works well to warm a room, but I don't think it is safe.
We may have gotten a defective heater, because I also noticed the front grill was dented - not sure if it is supposed to be like this. It could be part of the design, but I am not sure.
Regardless, we are returning it for a refund. If you have young kids, I would not waste my money."
