This is a good portable heater for a small space such as a bathroom. Compact size so it does not take up a lot of space. Tip over safety feature works. Did not find much difference between the 800 watts and 1200 watts setting. The sides and back are cool to the touch while in operation. The front gets hot and the top slightly warm. The sound is not too loud, typical for this size heater and just enough to let you know that it is operating so you don’t forget about it. For larger rooms you may need to get a bigger heater.
