Disappointed
Since I already owned this same model Pelonis heater for 4 or 5 years, I was pleased to find it again and expected the same quality from the Pelonis brand. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The new heater's thermostat failed right after being turned on for the first time. Unlike my older heater, the new version now features a manual mode as if they do expect the thermostat to fail. With the manual mode, the heater can still be used by setting the speed, but it's definitely not as nice as the original one of this same model. It's also simply too much money to pay for something that does not work as described. Like most things these days, the quality is way less than products we used to be able to purchase with confidence.
Costly lesson
I purchased this item after reading the claimed performance. I have a room in the lower level of my house that is generally colder than the rest of the house. Rather than run the furnace, I usually use a small space heater. Unfortunately, most space heaters don't work that well.
And neither does this. For all the promised performance, cheaper existing heaters I own work better. This thing is not quiet, and ran a long time before providing measurable increase in temperature (one of few benefits of this heater is the digital temperature gauge that let me know how well it was not working).
I'm sure this product does well at heating small rooms or the underside of a desk, but for the price you can buy two heaters that do just as well.
Adding insult to injury, between the restocking fee and shipping, I ended up paying a third of the cost of the unit just to find out it did not work.
Pelonis V Ceramic Heater works very well
I already own a Pelonis IV, and ordered the V to use in our RV. It's great. Quiet, has a nice thermostat with digital temp. display. Works as well as I expected, and I'm quite happy with it.
