My neighbor across the street has one and he swears by it. I went over to his house about 5 months ago and he had it running in his family room, but it heated the entire first floor. He used to heat with oil, but now he uses this unit. He liked it so much he became a dealer for the company that sells them in Lancaster County.

I was thinking about getting one for my daughter's apartment when she goes to college this fall. The apartment is in an old house and the previous tenant told her that it got real cold in the rear during winter. They are quite popular here in central PA. They are an infra-red heating system, so you could sit on the box without toasting your buns. Another reason he likes it is because they're safe around kids.
