"I dont like my space heater it needs to get hotter and heat more area"
The only reason I bought the Holmes 1touch is because it was the only space heater still in stock at any store I could find. I got it from kmart and it has not served the purpose I wanted it to very well. Its a bit cumbersome and has odd swinging arms that done seem to do much to change the way the heater actually heats. The internal fan is weak and does not blow hot air very far, if at all really. The heater works by emitting a weak heat that eventually fills the room. It is not an ideal heater if you intend to sit in front of it in order to get some warmth. The Holmes 1touch cost me about $100 or so. I do not think I would repurchase the same brand or even the same manufacturer if I were in the market for a space heater, unless I saw a product that proved to be far superior to the 1touch.

"Very Good Space Heater"
I bought this space heater three years ago. I live in an area where it is very cold in the winter, and my heating bills can be very high. I spend much of the day at my desk in my home office, so I figured that buying a small space heater to put beneath my desk would be a good investment because it would allow me to turn the heat down in the rest of the house. I found the Twin Ceramic at bed, Bath and Beyond, which was selling two for the price of one ($19.99). The heater is small and is the perfect size to fit under my desk. It has two fan settings and also a sliding temperature gauge. It works very well, not just in keeping my feet warm, but in warming my whole office. My cat also enjoys sitting next to it while I work. I put the second heater in my bathroom, where it keeps my warm when I get out of the shower. I have used both units a lot since I purchased them, and they work as well as the day I bought them. I would definitely recommend this model of heater to anyone who is looking for a small heating unit to keep their feet warm in the winter time and to save on their heating bills.

"Nice little heater"
This is a small heater that takes up very little floor space making it convenient to store when not in use and easy to tuck into a small space in the room when in use. This heater can be used in multiple ways including stationary, oscillating, low heat, high heat, and just fan mode. It has dual controls so you can choose the speed and temperature you prefer. Its quite easy to change from oscillating to stationary and can use that feature to easily point the fan in one direction without moving the unit. I've had the heater for three years now and use it to warm up the north facing room my pc is in on the coldest days. It does a great job of rapidly warming up the 9x12 room. I like the small mesh grill over the heating elements as that is safer for my animals than the more open grill types are. The negatives on this unit is it can be noisy if not standing on a rug and it can be a bit difficult to dust due to the smaller grill but even so I prefer the smaller grill for safety. For a small inexpensive heater this has done a lot of good work for me!

"Small Space Heater Review"
We have owned the Holmes space heater for over 2 years now. We like the size of the unit and the price. The quality is not as superior as expected, however. Also we dislike the noise the unit makes when activating. We have never needed to repair or replace one of our units. We have and would buy another space heater of the same brand. I would not recommend this space heater to someone who is looking for a single unit heat source. We have multiple units for heating a larger area. I would recommend a higher quality machine to a friend if they were using it to heat a smaller area; such as a bedroom.

"Great heater for your money"
I have owned this space heater for 2 years and it has been fantastic. The first thing I really like about it is it's safty feature. If the heater is tipped over it automatically shuts off. That is a huge plus for me, since so many house fires are associated with space heaters. The price was great also it only cost $35. It runs great and warms a room very fast. It has the ability to detect room temp and cuts on and off according to the need. It has a oscillating head to evenly displace the heat. My only complaint is the filter that must be cleaned between uses. I forget sometimes and the heat doesnt blow out quite as good. If it had to be replaced I would not hesitate to buy another from the same brand. It is the best buy product for your money. It has the safety that all heaters should be expected to have. I would recommend this heater to anyone

"Holmes Warms the Home"
We moved into a new house near the end of summer, finding that the place kept itself quite cool without the need for an air conditioner. But as the weather started getting colder, we realized that "quite cool" was too cool. So we went looking for an inexpensive space heater. We found Holmes' Oscillating Ceramic Heater. And it is exactly what we were looking for. We needed heat to circulate around a small area, and as it moves it does spread heat around very well without making us feel too hot. You can adjust how hot you need it to be, and has different settings for the fan. It stands on a sturdy base so that I don't worry about my cat knocking it over. The sides and back of the heater stay cool so when I have to pick it up to move it, I don't burn myself. While it has a handle in the back for carrying, it's not comfortable to use. This perhaps the only drawback to the heater overall. It was one investment I've very glad we made.

"Holmes Ceramic heater gets the job done."
I have owned this heater for about a year and a half now. What caught my attention about it at first was the price. I bought it for 19 dollars and was hoping that it would work great. I like that it is very small, but it gets the job done. What I dislike about it is that it takes a while to heat up my apartment because of its size. But other than that, if you leave it on for a while, it warms your place to a comfortable level. I would buy the same brand again because I have not had any troubles with it yet. I would also recommend this brand and item to a friend for the same reasons that it has not given me any problems and the price is reasonable. If you are on a budget and are looking for a space heater, look no further, Holmes heaters are reliable and durable.

"I love my space heater"
I've owned my Holmes space heater for about 5 years now and it is awesome. I like the way that the temperature can be adjusted from low warm to nice and hot. There's even an automatic shut off feature. It is more flexible than some heaters that only have high, medium or low. This heater has served me well thus far, I have not had to get it repaired yet. I don't overuse it but then again there's no need to since it shuts off once the temperature is even. I would definitely recommend this heater to family and friends - it's reliable and flexible. My family and I have saved so much money on our heating bill because of this heater, I would buy it again for sure.
