What's not so great: INTERNAL BREAKER ALWAYS TRIPPING
The unit consistantly trips the internal breaker to cool down for 5 seconds and then kicks backs on. Takes forever to heat a simple 20x20 or smaller room, if it evers does(brought it back to store). Even tripped breaker when on eco mode setting. Have run into this before with heater over stating their heating capacity based on a room size. Looks like a 200 dollar unit is whats needed, not the cheapo 69.00, sorry honeywell, you anint no honey and you dont do well!

Review 3 for Honeywell Safety Sentinel Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater - Black/Chrome
Thermostat does not work

What's great about it: appearance
What's not so great: The thermostat doesn't turn the unit on and off according to the set temperature and it takes a long time to heat a room
I just purchased this heater mainly because of the Honeywell brand, but I will be returning the heater as soon as I can. The problem is that the thermostat does not work. It only turns on when the temperature reading on the front of the unit reaches 2 degrees below the set temperature and then the unit does not turn itself off even when it has heated the room 3 degrees above the set temperature. The other problem is that it takes one and a half hours to raise the temperature 2 degrees in a room that measures 15X15.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Light, easy to use, safe!
What's not so great: Maybe price!
I purchased this heater about 3 years, and it still works great for bedrooms!
Its light, and if it tips over or someone gets right in front of it it turns off! perfect for babies, if they are in the crawling stage and go towards it, it will turn off!!
Heats up pretty fast. Has timer for up to 3 hours, so it will save energy on it runing all night long!
Its $80 bucks, but its well worth it!

What's great about it: Tons of safety features
What's not so great: It doesn't heat. Thermostat is very inaccurate.
I have had this heater in a fairly small bedroom for about a week. After waking up shivering several nights in a row, I am returning it. The thermostat does not work properly, and I have read many complaints about this on several review sites. I have to turn it up to 80 degrees (as high as it goes) for it to take the chill out of the air. It is mid-October in NC, I can't rely on this heater when it starts to really get cold. The problem seems to be with the fact that the thermostat thinks that the room is considerably warmer than it really is. Just when it starts to get comfortable in the room, it shuts off because it thinks it has reached the desired temperature, and I have to wait 20-30 minutes for the thing to cool down before it comes on again. There is no way to make it just stay on. Also, this may seem awfully picky, but the blue lights around the auto shutoff safety feature are very bright in a dark room, making it a poor choice for an overnight bedroom heater.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: turns on
What's not so great: still cold
Manufacturer strongly suggests not to use in bathroom. However,that's about the only size room it's useful for. The thermostat doesn't work and it "creeks" when oscillating. Don't buy if you plan on using for anything bigger than a closet..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: light weight - heats quickly
What's not so great: little noisy - doesn't heat very large area
Very light - easy to move room to room. Heats quickly. Rotating and thermostat are nice features. A little noisy (fan noisy) - scares cats. Have it in a 20x20 room - doesn't really heat the whole room. On a cold, Indiana winter evening, can watch the built in thermostat actually decrease in temperature while unit is on high.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: I like the tip over protection. But mainly the fact that i can set a time for it to shut off while im sleeping at night
What's not so great: so far it doesnt have any problems from what i can see
I like the fact that i can sleep in comfort and not worry if its been on all night and maybe catch fire to something. Its nice and toasty and saves you alot more money on bills.

Review 10 for Honeywell Safety Sentinel Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater - Black/Chrome
Efficient for Avg. 200 sq.ft. Room

What's great about it: Temp Control, Oscillation and compact size. Dispenses consistent heat as stated
This unit delivers all that is detailed in the specs. I like the oscillation feature as opposed to having just a direct blast. Another nice feature is the temp. control which allows you to set a desired temp. and it shuts on and off when temp is reached. Must have realistic expectations. It warms up 200 sq. ft just fine.
Best Buy does a great job processing the order. I placed order online and it was ready for pick up in less than an hour. This is my 2nd online to store order. Excellent service!!

What's great about it: Safety Features
What's not so great: not strong enough to heat a large room
This product is great for small to medium rooms. I have used it in my living room but due to high ceilings and large space, it did not do a such good job. when I use it in the bedroom and close the door it is able to keep to room nice and warm.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Heats a small room quickly
What's not so great: Small heat radius
The heater heats my smalled room very quickly. I will turn it on and leave the room for a half hour and there will be a very noticeable difference in room temperature. I feel very comfortable turning it on and then leaving with all of the security settings. The only down side is that it is that it is not very omni directional. The fan is not powerful enough to circulate the heat with the oscillator, so it must be placed near the specific area that needs to be heated. This has not presented a significant problem.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Nice safety features
What's not so great: Temperature set function doesn't work
The temperature set function doesn't work. We set it to turn off at 70 degrees but it doesn't turn off until 76 degrees. It didn't turn back on until it reached 66 degrees. Also, it never shows the correct temperature in the room. It's always off by 4 to 6 degrees. We used two other thermometers to verify the temperature in the room. We placed the thermometers within a few feet of the heater to get accurate readings. The room is about 12 feet by 10 feet.
I am returning the product.

What's great about it: It has an automatic shut off if something is too close or if it gets knocked down!
What's not so great: none
My husband and I just bought it and instantly love it! My dogs love it a little too much though, cause they try to sit too close and it automatically shuts off! Then they move a little bit away and it'll come back on! The temperature control is wonderful too! It also has a timer and energy saver! I'm ordering one for my parents now:)

When we bought our new house last year our bedrooms were freezing. It's a slit level and the bedroom are in the basement. My sons room was cold and he won't leave blankets on so we got him this space heater. I was very nervous about putting a heater in his room but this one put me at ease a little. you can set it to any temp, and it also has an energy save button that makse it go about a degree of 2 higher than it's set for and doesn't turn on until it drops a degree or 2 below the set temp, so it's not running all the time. the front of the heater gets pretty warm but not wamt enough to burn you and it has a sensor bar so if anything gets to close to the fron of it it turns off. It also tuns off it it tips over or even if you wiggle it around. This heater has worked wonders for us for over a year now, we bouhgt the Best Buy warranty but haven't needed it yet. now that my son is out of his crib and bid enough to cover himself up if he gets cold I don't use it as much, but I still use it to warm up his room before bed on really cold nights. This is a great little heater, it heats up the room fast and has wonderful safetey features, we bought a different brand for our room and it broke shortly after, they sent a replacement and that one was broke also. From now on I'm sticking with Honeywell!
I would recommend this to a friend!
