Unlike conventional space heaters that only warm a limited area directly in front, this small-yet-powerful unit generates 5,118 BTUs an hour to warm an entire 10' x 12' room twice as fast as common models. It takes this heater just seven minutes to warm a room thanks to a vortex circulation system that continually distributes warmth more efficiently across a wider area, blanketing a room from floor to ceiling to eliminate cold spots left by regular heaters. A sophisticated sensor automatically adjusts heat output to maintain desired temperature, so heat is constant and even without the on/off cycle that limits the effectiveness of traditional heaters. A digital thermostat allows precise temperature selection, and the heater uses only the ne cessary amount of energy, up to 1,500 watts, to achieve appropriate temperature, eliminating the risk of overheating. The heating element does not glow like standard coils, and tight grill spirals on the front shut out curious fingers while allowing swift air passage. The cabinet remains cool to the touch, and has a throttle regulation safety system that turns the heating element off in the event the heater tips over or the airflow becomes blocked.
