Customer Rating:
Summary: Safe for homes with pets.
Comment: The heating element is completely sealed and no floaty hairs or furs will stick causing a fire hazard. The sealed environment is extremely weather resistant for use by the shore as saltwater mist and spray do not seem to affect it.

Only downside the bright orange/red light. Makes one feel like an item at the buffet. Need to have other sources of light on to make it less orange. Otherwise very warm and efficient without the hiss or smell of gas-powered heaters.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Far superior, the latest in electric outdoor infrared heating
Comment: A very powerful heater. Because of its small size and weatherproof design, it fits in alot of locations. I really like that this heater is stylish and looks like a light fixture. Yes, it emits light, but non-light emitting infrared heaters cannot be used outdoors effectively and are actually useless in the wind.

Summary: Good idea not ready for prime time
Comment: Enjoy being awash in a hideous bright post-apocolyptic orange glow while being blinded by the beeming element. Also, the heated area just didn't live up to the specs which, even if it did, would not overcome the downside of being turned orange. Also, it really didn't heat anything but seemed to just barely keep the cold air at bay. Yes, I mounted it height and angle-wise according to the recommendations in the manual. Just thought I should give fair warning to any others.
