This little heater is perfect if you need a little extra warmth at your desk. It's practically silent, which is a huge plus for hiding heaters that are against company rules. So long as you keep it within a few feet, you'll get plenty of heat to take the chill of a cold office. It will not heat up your whole cube or office, so you won't hear complaints from those weirdos who are hot all the time. And so what? Who wants to share their precious heat with those jerks anyway? Since it's low wattage, there's less of a chance of blowing out a block of breakers in your crappily wired office building. Stay toasty, my friends!

I purchased my Lasko 100 MyHeat Personal Space Heater sometime in March of 2016 because my crew and I had "the back" makeshift offices built in haste as the company had grown. The area was formally a storage facility in which our cheap ass boss threw in some cubicles and voilà, there's your damned office! The owner wanted no one in the building to use space heaters because they ran up the bill and tripped the circuit breaker which was not built to handle multiple computers, laser printers, fax machines, and phone lines. Any time an employee snuck a space heater into their cubicle and turned it on within a few minutes the breaker would give off a loud alarm as everything went suddenly black. I was determined to find a solution. I didn't know that you could purchase heaters with such low load. I had always purchased heaters for my home which were higher wattage products. At the time, it seemed like a lot of money for such a small heater. At this price I would usually purchase a regular one at Walmart but now I had wattage issues and my fingers were turning blue at the computer... I bought it. When I turned it on (I was nervous, of course) I held my hands up to the vents and kinda giggled. Then I could feel the warmth on my face. But my feet were getting no benefit so I placed the heater on the floor under my desk. I felt the heat up to my legs but my hands were cold again. I know that heat rises so I found a position for the heater about 1 - 2 feet from the floor and pointed it toward my body. I wore warm footwear and since my core temperature was now warmer the rest of my body and appendages were fine. The moral of the story is that this is a FANTASTIC 200W heater and it's not going to slip out of the time space continuum and outperform a 1500W unit. My personal experience has been...1. It lasts - it has undergone 3 years of constant use. I even use it in my 10x14 bedroom at home.2. I feel comfortable heat around it - within a decent 3 to 4 foot radius.3. It's incredibly discrete. Actually some of my coworkers felt the heat from my area but couldn't figure out why.4. It won't overload your circuit (unless you live on "Little House on the Prairie").5. It's quiet but not so quiet where you couldn't hear it while listening for it in a dark soundless room.Would I buy it again? Yes! If the quality control standards are as they were 3 years ago. But alas, as many of us veteran Amazonians know even this changes with time. My best advice would be to heed the SENSIBLE newer positive reviews you see regarding this space heater. It really is a fantastic little heater and it's treated me right for 3 years now.Cheers!

LOVE this heater. Bought it for my office desk. Keeps me warm when the guys I work with are trying to freeze me out with the A/C set to Antarctica temperatures.
