this space heater only heated my garage up to 66 degrees when it was turned up to 84 degrees. So it will be replaced with something better.

the cleaning filter one is the one that decided it for me

It works well except for one thing - when you start it up in a cold room, below 55 degrees, it screeches like a banshee for a minute or two before quieting down.

I do not care for this feature because it just blows cool air which defeats the purpose of heating up the area

I used it in a drafty 150-square-foot home office last winter. The result? It replaced my central heating for that room. Setting it to 72°F on ECO mode, the room reached perfect comfort in under 3 minutes.

The Atom 1 is excellent.

I've got one of these for underneath my work desk, and it's been a champ. Putting it under the desk helps keep my feet warm, plus warms the desk surface as well.
