Tools and Hardware Reviews of Holmes HFH416 1-Touch Swirl Grill Power Heater
Customer Review: Excellent little heater.
Summary: 4 Stars
Though not a large heater it heats up a room as good or better than the space heater I use more than twice as big. The one touch button operation takes a little time to get used to,but all in all I consider this to be an Excellent Little Heater.Customer Review: Good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had it a couple years now & it's helping me switch from oil to electric heating.
If I want to keep my living room at 65 it seems I need to set it for 70 so the gauge seems a bit off but it does the job.
Customer Review: Good for the price!
Summary: 4 Stars
I paid only a small amount of money for this heater and it works fine. The thermostat is a little off, but I can mle adjustments.Customer Review: Great heat, great size, great price, poor user interface
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a fairly small heater that puts out a lot more warm air than I'd hoped for. It's perfect to tuck under my desk and warm my toes when the central heat isn't quite doing its job.
However, it's a bit tedious to use, even once you've figured out how it works and what setting you prefer. There is only one button (and 7 LEDs). The first time you press the button, you get continuous high heat, which is a reasonable default setting. But now to turn it off, you've got to press it 12 more times. Suppose you want to use the thermostat, so it puts out low power heat to keep the temperature at 70 degrees. That's 10 button presses when you turn it on, and another 3 to turn it off again. Seems like adding another button, or a dial or something would have made this thing a lot easier to use.
I also have my doubts that the thermostat works correctly, but I have not actually tested it with an independent thermometer in hand.
Customer Review: Does its job
Summary: 3 Stars
Wasnt very impressed by this heater initially but having used it for the last few weeks, it appears to do its work quite well. Heats up a room efficiently within 8 minutes and i like the fact that the plastic grill doesnt get hot since i have a little baby running around the house. Not sure if the temperature setting works, we just use the high and low buttons to suit our neeeds.
UPDATE September 2008: This lil heater has lasted us 2 winters and is working great as the 3rd one comes up!
Update: Feb 2009- still going strong
