Optimus H-5280 (H-5280S)

Ok for the $ it cost

I got this because after years my Honeywell carbon radiant heater fell over and of course, the glass tube broke. I got this because heaters like these produce the best heat and don't make the air dry. They also use less wattage to make the heat. More directional than whole room. Here in Miami, cold weather is NOT a normal thing. I like short sleeves and shorts in Dec. but lately it has been real cold here. So my HVAC is just A/C in my townhouse (no heater). Why need it in Miami? Well the cold came and for my family, we kinda like being a little warmer, so I got this one. It is ok and I hope the cold goes away soon....it's 2/2010 now and this time of the year I would normally only get 60-65 degree weather, not 40 degree. Does not have a thermal breaker to reset if it get's too hot (and you fall asleep with it on) like the Honeywell. It's a ok product I guess if you need a space heater.
