Review on Gray CZ707 Compact Utility Heater - Powerful 1500 Watt Comfort Zone by Rebecca Guerra

Update January 30, 2018 I love these little heaters. Unfortunately, this heater, which is only 3 months old, no longer works. I've bought the exact same heater in the past and ended up with all of them having the fan stuck and not starting. It looks like the fan bearings have become sticky and the fan won't turn on. Over time and some heat, the fan will be released and turn on, which is inherently unsafe as the entire unit will overheat from the lack of air movement. this is the type i bought. My local hardware stores no longer have this particular model so I bought it from Revain. My main reasons for buying this model of heater are that it is metal and compact in size. Remember that regardless of the make, model, size, and type of heater, when plugged into a 120V AC outlet and consuming 1500W, it produces 5120 BTUs of heat. That's the law of physics. Don't be fooled, heaters with larger cases magically generate more heat. 1500W = 5120BTU. Period. The reason for removing some stars is that they only last about 3 years. Over time, it becomes difficult to start the fan when in a cold room such as a bedroom. B. a porch in winter, is started. Sounds like the fan bearings are stuck. Also, over time, the overheat switch will become too sensitive and will start to work at a high temperature setting.
