Comfort Zone CZ10B 10-Inch 3-Speed Box Fan

don't waste your time with this product
I ordered this fan based on the dimensions, its going to be used in a office and I wanted a small profile, I have to say that the material is very poor and the device arrived DOA, after opening the package I plugged in the fan and turned it on only to see the motor struggle to spin the fan, I promptly asked for a RMA and I was approved on the spot, don't waste your time ordering this product online, go to a local dollar store and buy one there, I found one similar at my local dollar general and it was cheaper and better quality
Great customer support

Worse than I could have imagined
I read other reviews of this product that said it was loud, arrived broken, had no power, but I thought people were just expecting too much. I have had two other fans that were very similar to this one, in size, shape, and cost, and I loved them. This product is truly terrible. The blades are off-balance, so hit something inside the fan, making a clicking/clunking noise every time they go around. There is little difference between the three speeds; all are slow and barely move any air. This is not like all the other small, inexpensive fans. It is far, far worse. Do not bother with it.

Sickly Motor
I ordered one of these, which came with a bad motor that made a nasty grating noise. The merchant sent me a new one, which is not as bad, but didn't start up the first time until I stuck a stick between the blades to give it a "push". Now it makes a weak clicking noise and does not produce much air movement. Maybe they got a bad batch - but I'd steer clear. No complaints about the merchant though - great service!

Howard Berger Ceiling-Mount Quartz Heater - 5120 BTU, 1500 Watts, Model# 125115

Please READ before purchasing!!!
This heater works like a charm! Before starting my review, please take note that it is NOT meant to heat the air in a room and bring up the temperature. This type of heater heats the objects that are within it's distance.

That being said, let's get to the good and the bad. Overall I give this 5 stars. When I first mounted the heater above my workbench too high (10') and could not feel the heat very well. I dropped it down to around 7 feet and that was the ticket!

Works great for a close proximity spot heater. Perfect if hanging out with friends in the garage having a beer and a smoke.

There are two things I did not like about the heater, but they are both fixable and I recommend you do this. First, the little light that is built in is rather annoying. There are three settings you have to choose from. Pull the string once (I) and it turns on the light. Pull it again (II)and the unit turns on one of the two heating elements. Pull the string a third (III)...

Great Product!
It is just what we expected. We have it hanging from two chains (one on each side) so that it is lower for our dogs in the garage. Seems to work well. I appreciate the on/off cord. We don't utilize the light, but it does work. I tried to find something like this a couple of years ago and couldn't find one. I'm very happy with this product.

Update: September 26th, 2013 - I am ordering my second unit. The first one had a good life and it is still working, however one bulb is out and it isn't worth just buying the bulb. We've continued to be happy with this unit. I would agree with others that this is more a space heater than an overall air heater. We use the chains to extend it down because it wouldn't give the heat we were looking for being mounted to the garage ceiling.

Does exactly what I want.
I have been looking high and low for quite some time for exactly this.
A simple plug in ceiling mounted directional heater.
Writing this review while sitting outside under it. I live in Western Washington near Seattle. There are many rainy days, like right now, where I want to sit outside under my covered patio but the low to mid 40 degree weather drives me back inside when my fingers start chilling from the cold and make typing tough. About 4 feet above me this works just fine. However, I can imagine if the temp was 30 something or lower and/or with a decent breeze then the heat would not be enough. Keep in mind this unit plugs into a standard 15 amp outlet so don't expect blazing BTU's.

Install was simple and tomorrow I will install an electrical socket a few feet from it (instead of the extension cable I am now using temporarily).
For the price I have no complaints, however, I would have liked a few things that this does not.
1. An On/off switch...
