Cozy Products New and Improved Cozy Legs, Flat Panel Space Heater for Home and Office, Portable Heater with Built-in Thermostat, 150-watt, Energy-Efficient, 19" x 8" x 1", 3.2 lbs., Black

Simply amazing. Silent low-key heat that gently warms a space without making a big deal of it. Doesn't overheat you or blow air like a a ceramic space heater. I was a little confused by the description that said optional standing feet or wall mount. I didn't want to wall mount this, but thought it didn't come with feet. I was pleased to see the feet inside the box, with included screws to add them. The feet were easy to attach with 2 pre-drilled screw holes.

I was quite surprised by the heat output on this little thing! I had to actually turn it off just to cool down my room. Some reviews have had negative results, but not me!!! Its heated my entire room, an average size bedroom. With 2 large windows on the end corner of house. Its been super cold at night here in Oregon where I live. Theres not a heater installed in my bedroom, so I've relying on main house heat. I've had this heater for a week and I'm very impressed. If it actually had temp controll, (not a toggle of I or II) not just 2 adjustments & off, it'd be even better. Because even in low setting it's still very warm. Even in the space outside my room has gotten warmer. Another thing, the glass face gets super hot so keep away from little kids or things that are negatively affected by heat. I keep it my metal shelf next to my bed. I put it there to warm up the air on my side of bed. But I'm thinking I'll place it behind my headboard now. Its really slim, so you can hang it just about anywhere. Or attach feet and place it wherever. Happy heating!

First, the good stuff. It's safe. It doesn't get hot enough to start fires. At worst, it is hot enough to be mildly uncomfortable to the touch. Now the downsides. If you want it for the purpose of taking the edge off a room, then either that room needs to be VERY small, or not very cold in the first place. At the 200W setting, it reached a maximum temperature of 125F. It does exhibit mild convenction, but the heat given off is minimal at best. holding your hands above it, you would need to be within a few inches to feel a significant temperature change. It is slightly better for radiant heat. A temperature change was able to be felt within about 12 inches from the front surface. I did a test in my open closet to see how it could handle a partially closed area. The closet is about 10' deep by 6' wide by 8' high, with a standard width doorway (no door). Obviously, it is filled with clothes, so plenty of insulating factors...but the open doorway is a big hindrance. The heater was placed on the floor 2/3rds of the way back in the closet facing the back. I placed a digital thermometer/humidity guage about 7' high offset a foot to the side of the heater. After about 45 minutes, no change. I did a second test with the thermometer on the floor approximately 1 foot in front of the heater. Checked it again after 45 minutes. No change in humidty, but the temperature was showing a 5F increase. Hope this helps!

Even though I have three sides blocked off under my desk it is still cold down there, especially on cloudy days or before the sun comes up and warms the southern wall of my house. My Cozy Legs came with the switch with two heat settings, 100 watts and 200 watts (I tested it on a meter), and this works perfectly on the 100 watt setting for taking the chill out of the area beneath my desk. The 200 watt setting is warmer but also I notice more warm air rising and don't want to dry out my eyes, which in the desert climate is why any space heater with a blower does not work for me, especially under the desk. You can experiment if this type of radiant heat is right for you under your desk by putting one or two lamps with old incandescent light bulbs under your desk. This is a little better than that because you don't get all that light, and the flat panel distributes the heat better than a light bulb, and it gives one direction to the heat, outward from the front face of the heater. The flat panel oil-filled heater I mention below does not do that. It heats on both sides. Another test is putting an oil filled radiant heater under your desk on the 600 watt setting, but with the thermostat turned down so it is more in the 100 to 200 watt barely warm range. So this is like that, but doesn't take up the space. There is one maker of a small flat panel oil-filled heater, but that uses more electricity and decided I'd like this totally silent low-wattage one instead. One person in the comments mentioned that this radiates only from the front side, which few other heaters do, so that was a feature I wanted also. One person in the comments says the heating panel in front is glass but I think it is hard plastic. The heater gave off only a very slight odor on the first day of use, less than a new computer monitor would, and after that it's not noticeable, which was very important to me and I read all the reviews of this to make sure no one said it smells. There is the California warning, which I suspect has more to do with it being a heating device made out of a certain kind of plastic, more than it actually emitting harmful amounts of chemical in plastic, although I don't know for sure. The heater is absolutely silent, and the low wattage is something I really wanted. I have oiI-filled heaters for my main heat source. I don't have a passive house, but my house is made out of materials with passive heating properties and so that's why space heating is possible. I like that the heating element inside this is ceramic which means it will probably last long. We'll see. I have a rather ordinary oil filled radiant heater I got from a big box store that works like new after twenty years of regular winter use. I like how the feet on this are designed thoughtfully and were so simple to put on. I would like it more if it were made out of a light metal with a glass panel on the front but realize it would probably cost more that way. This is well made and I will come back to lower my rating if it fails within only a few years. According to my reading, it is one of the more reliable models, especially in this price category. After getting this, I would happily buy this again. But I'm not going to give it 5 stars because I think too many people buy this thinking it will serve as their main source of heat, and it is not going to do that unless your office is closet size. Without your desk blocked off in the leg area, this isn't going to work in a cold or drafty room or office either. Again, if a few light bulbs work to warm that area, this will work as well or better.

Great radiant heater. It could be improved with a timer function on the switch because I do forget to turn it off. heats my space without drying the air or making noise. It's lasted over 2 years now.
