I purchased a white version of this heater elsewhere about a month ago. I love it. It is in my daughter's bedroom, which tends to be colder than the rest of the house.
At night, I turn it on to the low setting, set the temperature, set the timer, and it does the rest. It isn't as loud as my older heater that it is replacing, and I don't have to worry about remembering to turn it off in the morning.
I have since purchased a second one for my bedroom.
I have not had any of the problems the other reviewer mentioned. |
Read the instructions?

This product is actually working flawlessly for me. I have it sitting in about the middle of a 120 sq ft room. I've set the product thermostat to 68 degrees by using the product instructions (very simple). I also have a separate thermometer across the room. The independent thermometer matches the Honeywell product display exactly. When the product reaches the programmed temperature it shuts off. After a few minutes, the heater turns back on and pumps out heat for another 15 seconds or so and shuts off so it is maintaining the temp. I left the room for 30 minutes and came back and the room temp is still at exactly 68 degrees.
This product is perfect for home use. It's quiet, provides a lot of heat, and best of all, maintains the temperature as advertised so I don't have to fuss with it (not sure why the other reviewers have had problems). I'm using it in both the home office and bedroom with great results. |

WE HAVE BEEN VERY IMPRESSED BY OUR PURCHASE OF THE HONEYWELL HZ-338 SURESET CERAMIC HEATER. WE REPLACED SOME OLD ELECTRIC HEATING UNITS. WE LOVE THE TIMER & THERMOMETER SETTINGS AND THE OSCILLATION ON/OFF CAPABILITY IS A PLUS!! ABOVE ALL THAT THEY ARE A LOT MORE DISCRETE THAN THE OLD HEATERS!! WE HAVE HAD MANY CO-WORKERS ASK WHERE THEY COULD PUCHASE THESE HEATERS FOR PERSONAL USE.
WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH OUR PURCHASE. |
Great Heater

| This a great heater for small spaces. It is small, light-weight but puts out a lot of heat. We love the oscillation feature and the temperature control feature. |
tough, reliable space heater

| We've owned this heater for over a year and been very pleased with it. We've brought it on weekend trips, moved it from room to room, stored it away, and it always works fine. The oscillation is smooth and quiet, the unit has a solid structure and easy to carry handle and the timer setting is reliable when going to sleep and wanting it to shut off in a couple hours. Also, the temp may read the area around the unit itself at times, but it does turn itself off when the room reaches the desired warmth with in a few degrees. Ready to purchase another one! |

| The heater works great! It is just the right size for under the desk and has many features that make it very desirable. |
Good Buy

I bought this unit to supplement my old inefficient natural gas furnace until I can get it replaced. I recently started using this heater. I haven't had the problem the others frequently mention. The heater's thermometer reads the temperature of the air going into the unit. I suspect they have their heater positioned such that the air was recirculating back to the unit. My heater was very accurate although when you turn it off and back on right away, it takes roughly 10 seconds for the thermometer to drop back down to the actual air temperature. (This is because the hot heating elements were radiating heat while it was off.)
I was surprised at the heater's ability to heat. It increased the temperature of my house from 65 degrees fahrenheit to 71 degrees fahrenheit in about 2 hours. This is not a huge increase but consider that it was 1330 sq ft. I could feel the difference and the heaters thermometer agreed with my house thermostat's. (I only intended to heat one room but I have no interior doors right now because I am replacing them. Therefore the whole house was heated but slightly more in the living room than the others.)
My two complaints are minor. First, when reading the manual it describes how to use the remote control. This unit has no remote control. Now I want a remote control. Second, I wanted a virtually silent heater. This heater is very quiet but it's still noisier than I expected. |
Got it in Fall 2004

Though my room is only 9'X13', my main steam heat doesn't work at full capacity & in winter my room can be honestly 50º.
Except 1-2x of it not shutting off when it reached the set temp. after being on constantly for days in the past 2 winters, it has worked well. It would just get hot in the room, the plastic unit itself never got hot. When it was below 0º at night it didn't get the room up to 72º which I like, other then that, it's been great, not whisper quiet, but not too loud either.
Heats up the room in 10 min from 55º to 70º.
3/2007 - still working, it shuts off itself once in a while due to overheating because I'm having problems cleaning the 3 years of dust off the grill in the back. I'm not sure how to get in between the deep & wide plastic housing that only has less then a pen thin slit opening to the metal grill to pick it out. The front grill never gets dusty. The remote is still going strong.
11/2007 - though the Honeywell still works fine, the remote as well, cleaning with scissors has been hard & still can't get off all the accumulated dust. I bought a Vornado heater which stays on all the time with fan only to keep hot air circulating & is whisper quiet & so far happier. |
Good Value

| Heats well and quiet. Does not blow heat very forcefully but certainly warms sufficiently given enough time using the oscillation function. Appears solidly built with good warranty. |
HONEYWELL OSCILLATING HEATER

| I LIKE THE HEATER BECAUSE IT IS SMALL, OSCILLATES, AND PUTS OUT A LOT OF HEAT. MY ONLY COMPLAINT WOULD BE THAT IT DOESN'T RUN AS QUIETLY AND SMOOTHLY AS IT DID THE FIRST WEEK. |
This model does not have a remote

| I wish I would have known this before I bought it. Years ago I bought one of these, except it was blue and white. It includes a remote control. I really like it, except that it doesn't oscillate anymore. I wanted to get two more for other rooms in the house. This model (HZ-338) doesn't include a remote. But I noticed that a lot of the ones with remotes, on amazon and other sites, are out of stock or discontinued, or they cost a lot more. What's up with that? |
Great Heater But Not For Bathroom Use
|
| Review Date: December 3, 2007 |
| Reviewer: T. Cochran, Fort Worth, TX USA |
| I purchased this heater to use in one of my bathrooms. It works great puts out a lot of heat. But according to the owners manual states not for use in bathrooms. I guess because of the humidity. But what about humid areas of the country? I live in Texas and it's always muggy. It would have been great of Amazon to list this fact in product description. |
Great heat, but NOT for a quiet environment

This unit throws an impressive amount of heat for its size, but the fan is quite loud. As mentioned in other comments the thermostat feature seems to measure something internal, so even set at the highest temperature (95) it will cycle on and off every few minutes. The fan going on an off is loud enough that it keeps me from getting to sleep so we've found it unusable in the bedroom. But in a small room where the loud fan won't be noticed this gives a lot of heat for the money.

Automatic Mode Useless

Got one of these today. Thot the other guys that had this problem were just unlucky, and decided to trust the Honeywell name. Boy, was I wrong. SureSet, my foot. The thermostat in this device does indeed seem to be measuring the temperature of the unit itself, although not the actual element, maybe the heated plastic body. I do not recommend that anyone buys this heater if they want to use the automatic mode. It functions well in the high and low constant heating mode. I have a lasko 5365 heater as well, that works well in all modes.
Update: Lasko 5365 is displaying same odd thermostat behaviour, I am beginning to think this behaviour is a product of the environment where the heater is used, and not just poor manufacturer design.
Update 2: Confirmed that 5365 thermostat works fine if heater placed in middle of open space to be heated as opposed to against a wall. HZ-338 thermostat performance doesn't seem to improve when in open area. |
