Quick Heat

This heater is very fast to emit heat. It does make a little racket when it is initially turned on due to the quartz elements. Once they are fully heated and red hot the noise level is very low. People like to stand in front of the unit to warm their legs when they come in from the cold. I have seen some other brands recently which also feature a humidifier. I am not sure if this feature is worthwhile as adding humidity can make a room feel colder.
