Pros: Small, portable, does not overheat, simple to set up, very inexpensive
Cons: None found

Got a liquid type heater and does not work as well as this small wonder:
The Lakewood 792/JR Utility heater is amazing.
Simple to use, simple to set up.
Got it at Walmart for $12 plus tax (12/26/05).
Warms up a studio that is about 9 feet x 12 feet with high ceiling.
We leave it on overnight and works!!!
We are so happy with this purchase, you can't beat the price.

Pros: Small and made well
Cons: thermostat sticks

I have bought a total of 8 of these little heaters some for me and the others for my daughter. Every one of them had a bad thermostat, and we are stuck with 8 heaters that do not turn off. I will never buy any more from that company. if I can get in toucn with the company to let them know about the thermostat, maybe they will mix the problem
