User Reviews about Sunbeam SFH436-UM Bathroom Heater Fan with Digital Thermostat

I bought this for my small bathroom to be mounted on the wall. It worked perfectly all winter, keeping the bathroom nice and warm. The timer also worked very well. Then this morning, 13 May, I turned it on to take the chill from the room in the early morning and there was no heat. The fan works and blows, but no heat. That's very disappointing. I don't know if I will order another for next year. I'll have to think about it. -- It worked great for 1 heating season...

Picked up this heater at one of the "mart" stores a few months ago. It warms up a small to mid sized room pretty quickly. It has a molded handle built into the top of the heater, making it easy to carry from room to room. Its a little bigger that some of the other personal sized fans in the same price range. Has a digital clock. You can set the heater to turn off/on at certain time. Also has thermostat controls to turn on/off when certain temp is reached. Can also set heater to stay on. Also has a fan only (no heat) setting. It is listed as a bathroom fan, but it works fine in any room. It has an ALCI plug to prevent overheating. It's a little too bulky to mount on a wall, but sits just fine on a table or on the floor. Flat gray plastic body. The plastic body stays warm to the touch even after an hour or more of use. Only the metal grate in front is hot (but not burning hot) to the touch. Overall a good quality heater/fan combo.

Pros:
-Heat is quick and strong. Good directional heat.
-Good size and weight. Not too heavy, Sturdy enough plastic body.
-Easy to pick up and move to another room. Sits flats, no worries about tipping over.
-Timer, clock and thermostat controls to regulate temp and running times.
-Safe for use in bathroom or other slightly damp area.

Cons.
-Uses a lot of electricity. Saw a noticeable change in electric bill after frequent use. Lights in room dim for a second when heater is tuned on.
-No heat or fan level setting. Its ether ON of OFF. No LOW, MED or High setting for heat of for fan.
-Control take a little while to learn. Luckily they printed instruction on side of heater.
-Clock resets to blinking 12:00 when unplugged and plugged back in. No clock memory.
-- Quick heat for small and mid sized rooms.

I've been using this Sunbeam bathroom heater for about a month now with no problems. This is the first bathroom heater I've ever owned, so I unfortunately don't have anything to compare it to.

With that said, I purchased this solely for use in my small bathroom since it gets quite chilly in there, and so far it's kept it nice and warm. :) I think the heater is a bit noisy, but on the other hand...at least I'm not cold!

As other reviewers have said, the clock resets every time the heater is unplugged, though I haven't had a need for it yet. I've tested out the functions, like the timer, stay on, fan, and the digital thermostat, all of which work great. Also, when you turn the power off while it's still running, it switches to fan mode and counts down from 10 seconds before turning off.

During the initial use, there IS a rather strong plastic smell but it seems to gradually dissipate with use, though I may just be getting used to it. -- Does its job

Heater arrived promptly and works well. Does a super job in a moderate sized bathroom. I recommend it. -- Homeowner

I am using it for bathroom. Want the bathroom hot enough in cold winter mornings.
Timer feature starts the heater 15 minutes before I get up, so the room is warm when I enter. -- Good heater with Timer for small room
