People that buy and use such devices are just begging to burn thier house down or die in a fire.

I bought one for the basement and immediately took it back.

Talk about cheap, I think PEZ dispensers have more engineering behind them...

Sure, if any idiot puts them in a closet, or next to a bed where blankets, etc, can fall in front of the heater, they can cause a fire. It's also because so many people have inadequate insulation, they are resorting to these in their rooms to stay warm. That's because of Gore-bull warming of course.

Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with this heater. I have several and they work just fine. They just require some shred of intelligence to use, as do all appliances if this type that provide this much heat.

For the life of me I cannot see how this heater can cause damage. It looks safer than a fireplace.

Try getting a space heater in FL right now. All the stores like Lowes and Target say - “we only order some because people bring em back when it warms up.”

These little heaters are not designed to be left on when you go to sleep. People are asking for trouble if they do that.

I have two of the Eden Pure heaters and they are worth their weight in gold. (And I know the value of gold, LOL!)

I have one in my bedroom and one in the downstairs bathroom. I turn the heat down to 55 at night in my 1906 farmhouse (lots of rooms are closed off; I don’t heat the whole thing!) and that space heater keeps my bedroom toasty-warm all night.

Nothing better than heating up the bathroom before you shower on a sub-zero winter morning, too. :)

Yes, they are expensive ($200 or so each), but Dad bought them for me a few years ago as a gift. They are electric, so they do push up the electric bill a little, but not by an unmanagable amount.

They should recall the customers that burned something up with them. Ban them from the store.

The only safe heater is one that does not produce heat. Also, remove the cord since it is a shock hazard. Just a plastic box with soft, rounded corners that says heater on it. No chance of injury with that.

Maybe even a “nerf” heater.

I have one. Absolute junk. I don’t know why I didn’t throw it away last year when it failed to keep my small motorhome at 55 degrees last winter, but now I’m taking the garbage back to WalMart for a refund.

I’ve been using an earlier version for 10 or 12 years with no problems. It’s probably the same case as with the small kerosene heaters, nothing is totally idiot proof and there is a surplus of idiots.
