Review on Air Choice 3s Fast-heating 1500W/1000W Portable Quiet 60° Oscillating Electric Space Heater - Ideal for Indoor Use in Office, Bedroom, Large Room, or Living Room. Includes Remote Thermostat & 12H Timer by Glenna Naber

Not a bad compact heater. It took about 15-25 minutes to heat my 12x16 living room. I was really concerned that the front would be too hot to touch or that my pets would get burned. I picked it up off the floor just in case. After 1 hour the room was warm and I lowered the thermostat. As mentioned, it wasn't too hot to touch the handle. Update: Depending on how long you leave the heater on, the front panel gets hot. Be careful and always unplug when not in use.
