Sharper Image Radius 5H Personal Review

I ordered this with the intention of using it on my desk while I work so my fingers are warm while typing. My fingers get so cold in winter that I've been looking for a small heater to blow warm air around the keyboard. Although this heater is a bit large for my desk, the low profile and low heat output made it a good option. Unfortunately, the heating is too loud for my desk. I would have to turn it off to answer the phone. There are two heat settings, but only one fan speed. The heat was…

This is the perfect heater for a small room or bathroom, it is very compact and not suitable for large spaces. It's easy to use, it has two switches - an on/off switch and one to control the heat level (you have 1, 2 and a fan). I usually keep it on "2" because the lower setting doesn't produce much heat and it takes longer to heat up enough. There is a safety trigger on the bottom of the fan so it will automatically turn off if accidentally knocked over. This is a good safety feature that can…

When you need space heating. . . It's not like this. But if you are looking for a personal heater for your personal warmth then this is really great. Many heaters advertise how powerful they are and how much heat they generate. But it's not just the heating. . . That's why I really like it. It offers "low" (375W) and "high" (750W). Low actually isn't much heat at all. But that's how it should be again. Unlike more powerful heaters where I have to turn them on and off throughout the day. . . .I…

There is a lot of electrical equipment on the market and in my experience some of these are not safe to use. So I think it's not a bad plus to have at least one well known brand like Sharper Image willing to risk their reputation by offering such a heater/fan. I could be wrong but I feel this is proof that this product should be a bit safer than some unfamiliar options. That was the first moment I decided to buy this device. When I got it and tried it out, I found that it works pretty well to…

Looking for a fairly portable heater that puts out a decent amount of heat at close range this does the job well. A well-known manufacturer of fans, and the device itself is made in Vornado's corporate design. The heater/fan has a main switch and an additional switch to control the heat (Off/I (Low)/II (High). The fan itself runs at a speed which I think is a bit fast for winter, but it will not overload The fan has an orange safety footswitch - lift the heater fan up and it will stop…

I always bought shaper image products in my childhood, like my father did in the stores themselves. I knew the quality would be great and I think it's for one cheap little heater. It works great on an office desk, anywhere you need to get rid of the cold around you. This is a personal heater. Heats well, but does not warm the whole room. If that's what you're looking for, don't worry about this type of device. It shouldn't be that strong. Hence the word "personal" heating. I work in a large…
