Review on NewAir NIH040WH00 White Portable Space Heater - 🔥 Silent & Energy Efficient Heating for Office or Bedroom by David Miller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Light, thin and this rattle has a practical function

No problems with this heater so far. In fact, I was satisfied enough with my first purchase to buy a second one. As other reviews have noted, like all these oil heaters, it smells a bit on first use, but the smell dissipates quickly. I recommend leaving it in a place where you won't be bothered by the initial smell for a while. Temperature control seems a bit inconsistent, but I may need more experience to figure it out. I am satisfied with the fact that it is light and easy to carry. I got it to replace a noisy DeLonghi oil heater that was extremely heavy and too difficult for my disabled spouse to move around alone. This NewAir heater can be lifted with just one finger. I was also pleased with the fact that it's very thin and fits snugly against the wall so it doesn't get under your feet. There is one small disappointment, though: the leg mounts protrude vertically, increasing the footprint and negating the benefit of thinness. However, I admit I can't imagine how else they could keep it up without resorting to a very heavy heating floor. Se la vie. Like some other reviewers, I noticed a rattle in the dial case and initially tried unsuccessfully to open it (the screws are proprietary design) to see if I could stop the sound. However, at some point I realized that it was just a gyroscopic gimmick (I guess that's the official scientific term 🙂) that shuts off the car if accidentally hit by, say, a big dog, a vengeful cat, a feral child, or you will average adult waddles. The rattling is otherwise harmless and does not occur when the phone is stationary or in use. Overall, the product seems more than satisfactory at this price point. I will try to update this review in a few months if necessary.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
