What reviewers liked
Honeywell features an automatic tip-over kill switch, which shuts the heater off if it gets knocked over. Although you should never leave a space heater in a room unattended, the kill switch can offer some peace of mind in case you really can’t keep your eye on the UberHeat for a short stretch.
Auto-shut off when the heater detects that it has reached the targeted temperature.
The true strength of the Honeywell comes from this portability. Compared to every other heater we tested, the Honeywell was the most compact: a little larger than an alarm clock with a handle at the top for easy transport.

As a personal heater, it does the job well. You can put it under your desk to keep your feet warm, or you can put it on your desk to act as a supplemental heating device.
What reviewers didn't like
The Honeywell’s greatest failing is its noise. It was far and away the loudest heater we tested, with decibel readings of 55 dBA at a distance of 3 feet and 51 dBA at 6 feet. It’s so loud, you may find yourself talking over its operational noise—it’s pretty rude for a permanent houseguest, in our opinion.
