Great little heater.

It’s a small and tidy heater; exactly what I’m looking for. Only problem is that it keeps switching itself off. I’ve read more reviews since purchasing and this does seem to be a common fault with the product. Sending it back for a refund

I was really scared when it turned off after 7 minutes. I didn't touch it for 30 seconds and it turned back on automatically. I think it was because of the overheating protection. As I'm writing this, my hands are sweating and I feel like I'm writing on a day when the sun is beating down on me. Impressive. It warms you up, not the room, which is great for people who just want to play games sitting in front of the computer or watch a film. And it seems that after every seven minutes it shuts down for 20 or 30 seconds, which I think is reasonable. It looks very nice and has heated me very comfortably. As I said before, the advantage of this device is that it is 500 watts, but as it only heats you, it feels like your room has been heated by a 2000-watt heater for two hours, but this only happens in 7 minutes, impressive.

Was great while it lasted. Classy little number. Using half the power of many alternatives but still offering reasonable heat. Would indeed be good if either one or both bars could be selected. Stopped working after 2 days' normal use. If it was for me, I might get another and hope it lasted longer.. if does come with a 2 yr guarantee. But it was a gift for my mum, so I won't risk the replacement being a dud, too.

Works well and auto turn off if tipped over works

This is a small radiant heater of a nice stylish design. The casing is plastic which is a bit of a surprise for a heater built around glowing hot elements. It is described as a desk heater - which is bit ambiguous, but it is ideal if you have come in from the cold, and want the temporary comfort of something shining heat onto you. You can put it on the floor, or on a piece of furniture, but the instructions suggest a heat resistant surface, and definitely not a carpet. In fact you must keep anything flammable at a safe distance. On the subject of safety, there are 37 bullet points in the instructions about what to do and what not to do which illustrates perhaps the caution needed. There is a tilt switch that will stop the heater if it gets tipped over - however it could still be dangerous if tipped near paper, plastic or cloth as the elements stay glowing for a while - possibly enough to set something on fire if it was flat down on it. There is an overheat cutout - I have had two examples of this heater and on both the overheat cutout switches the heater off for about 20 seconds every 3 or 4 minutes even in normal use - which is quite annoying. Is the heater really overheating, or is the overheat cutout just a bit too sensitive? It is impossible to say, but the measured wattage was quite a lot higher than the 550 watts advertised so my guess is it is likely to be overheating. The bottom line is that you should never leave this heater unattended and always be wary of something that gets so hot. I would not recommend it for anyone who is infirm, not fully "with it", drowsy or likely to fall asleep, or anywhere near children. One last point is that the flex is both short and quite stiff, whilst the heater weighs little, so it would not be difficult to flip the heater by moving the flex - another potential hazard. If you are happy using a smoothing iron, a grill or hotplate, then you should be able to use this heater safely.

Really nice little heater, retro - stylish and easy to operate.

Very nice and good product. Really worth the money. It automatically gets switched off if the area is hotter than needed and will turn on again after a while. It has tripped off also option. Just now started using it; don’t know the electricity usage. The guidelines say 19 cents per hour.
