If you are searching for a quiet heater, you can't go wrong with this product. It puts out soft heat, perfect for my tiny house bedroom. For it to be effective, just close the door. I only have a curtain dividing my room to the rest of my tiny house and I have no problem. I like that it's easy to operate. Front panel does not get hot to the touch. I installed mine by the bed and it doesn't even heat up the bedspread. Easy install, did it myself and I I'm a 68 year old female. Love the product and I recommend it. I have not received the electric bill yet so I can not tell you how much electricity it uses.
