I currently own a Holmes 1Touch space heater.  Let me tell you this is the best heater, as far as space heaters go, that I have ever used.  It's great because it has 5 settings from 60 to 80 degrees.  And you can choose a low/high power setting.  It also has an oscillating feature, so that if you...

We got this heater to keep a glassed in room usable in the cool winters we have in eastern Virginia. To our dismay it lasted 3 weeks of average use. This is use before it got cold. The temperatures out side were in the 40's and this little heater "gave up the ghost" while we had it on only to warm the...

My boss bought the Holmes Space Heater to keep my work space warm and it works great. It has several options and temperature adjustments. We are in Southern California but the sun doesn't come through this part of the office and it stays cold when it is "cold" (by California standards) 50 degrees .This little heater is very quiet and it is cool to the touch. I often warm my hands by it as they get cold above the desk as I'm typing. (Wish I had it now at home).

You won't regret buying this little heater to heat up a bathroom, a child's room or your own bedroom. It doesn't use much electricity and...

I initially bought this heater to warm up our uninsulated greenhouse for winter plantings. As it gets quite cold during the nights, and I don't enjoy sending large chunks of money to the electric company, it is important to me that the unit not burn through too many watts. I was so impressed with the unit that I bought one for my son's bedroom and my daughter's apartment. It has warmed up these spaces without taking a huge bite out of our heating budget. It is small but efficient and much safer than some other options.

I actually have 2 of these small heaters in our house. One in basement to keep hubbys feet warm when he sits down there to watch tv. Great small heater for close quarters, and is cool to touch outer case.  use the other to heat the small outer proch area when friends come over and need to smoke when it is to cold outside to stand . Everyone told me good idea. and so handy

I purchased this heater to put in the bathroom and I love it! Not only is it compact, but It quickly warms up the room so you can wake up a few minutes early in the morning, turn it on, and before you know it, you have a warm toasty bathroom perfect for those cold morning showers! I also like the swivel option.

I work at a desk situated in a large open warehouse.  Such large open spaces are difficult to keep comfortably warm in the winter.  Having a sedentary desk job, normally on the phone or a computer, I don't usually move around enough to keep my body generating its own heat.  I needed a space heater.

This Holmes 1-Touch heater is exactly what I needed.  It's compact enough that it doesn't get in the way of my rolling desk chair.  It has enough power to keep the space at my desk (and me) warmer even on the coldest of days.  I like the adjustable low-to-higher settings so that I can...

The holmes heater- space heater-1 touch HFH5505 is great, I never thought that such a small contained heater would work so well. I have had quite a few space heaters in my lifetime, but now I depend of them to heat my trailer. This  heater is safe, it runs so quiet I can hardly hear it. Does not keep me awake from clicking on and off. I have a fairly large bedroom, it is divided into two rooms, this little heater after about 40 minutes get my room very toasty. I turn it almost all the way down, and it knows just when to come on and go off. I live in the south and figured I would never need a heater,...

I got this heater about 8 months ago and , unlike the other 3-5 heaters I've had in the past, this one is still going strong.  It does not heat up my room as quickly as others I have had, but it does get a room very warm.  I originally did not think that I would like the thermostat feature.  However, I have gotten used to it and I am very satisfied with the feature.  I like the fact that I now know what temperature I am setting the heater at.  I like the safety feature also.  Even if the heater is slightly tipped, the heater will turn off for a moment.    I wish that the heater had...

I have 2 of these products, and I use it in my bathroom, I turn it on before I take a shower for a about 5 minutes, and once I get into the shower I would turn it off. But before I get into the shower, my bathroom is very warm. I also use this in my computer room. I spend a great deal of time in my computer room, and I dont want to turn on my central heat to warm this room up. So before I go into my computer room, I would turn my heater on for about 5-10 minutes, and once i go into my cmputer room it is warm and cozy. This product is also very quiet. And I need to have this product to be quiet ... review »

I got this one for free when a friend moved out of town. It has been with me for over a year. I have used it on a daily basis, for a prolonged period, and I haven't had any problems yet. I was looking for a second space heater for work, and after reviewing other products, I decided to go with this one, because its simple, I have already seen it and I know how it works. Easy to operate, one touch heater from Holmes is a smooth operator that kicks out a lot of heat in a hurry. A single button controls the light-up electronic display, cycling quickly through the settings to the one desired. You can... review »

I purchased this space heater to be able to work in the garage in the winter time.  It is reliable and fast working.  We have a four car garage and this small unit heats up my work area in no time at all!  It keeps me warm all day even when it is below freezing or snowing outside.  It is also great because of its ease of use.  The mechanisms are easy to read and understand.  The only downfall is that it does not automatically turn off after a period of time nor does it turn off automatically if moved.  I like it because it is portable and many of my neighbors have borrowed it to do their...

This is a great little heater.  Lightweight and portable makes this a perfect addition to any room where you desire a little extra warmth.  I bought one for my grandmother because she gets cold easily and she just loves it.  She takes it in the bathroom with her when she showers to take the chill off the room until she dries and dresses

I bought one for myself after buying it for her.  It is a great little heater and I highly recommend it to anyone needing a little extra warmth

I love the holmes space heater. We have one room in our home that never seems to heat up or cool off the way the rest do. The only way to solve the problem without a lot of money was a space heater. So we went shopping and found the holmes one was not too expensive and was not too big or small. It works perfect for us and the thermostat is wonderful. I like that it turns off when the room reaches the right temp.
