I received this unit and two months later it was toast (no pun intended). 

In the beginning, it worked well  I used it to warm the basement recreation room. I set the thermostat at about 3/4 maximum and left it to work. It was also completely quiet as advertised.

Then sometime in January, I noticed that the On/Off knob was turning brown near the edges--as if discolored by excessive heat. I turned it off to investigate. Then turned it on again. Nothing. The unit was dead. After repeatedly turning it off and on I noticed sparking underneath the switch. After repeatedly spinning the switch between off/on it finally came back on and stayed on for 2 or 3 days until it failed again.

After about 10 days of this I unplugged for safety concerns. WHAT A GIANT HASSLE FOR A 55 DOLLAR HEATER! And don't doubt for a second that Honeywell COUNTS on people not wanting to hassle with returns.

Another example of an electronic device made as cheaply as possible with little or no regard for quality or safety. I will not purchase from Honeywell again.
