The Best Inexpensive Heater I’ve Found - Holmes Products HQH307 Open Flame Compact Heater I really like the Holmes HQH307 quartz heater. I use it to warm up my master bathroom in the morning. I turn it on...

I am very impressed and pleased with the Holmes Quartz heater. A few days ago my husband came home with an electric heater. It did not work at all and I took it back the following day and traded it for the Holmes Quartz Tower Heater. I was a little worried of the thing at first and did not put much hope into it actually getting a room hot enough to the point that I could turn the thermostat in my house down. I was wrong.

Holmes uses a “Maxflow Fan System” that not only heats the immediate area, but also forces heat out to heat an entire room. This fan system really works. The Holmes gets red hot!! I mean you can actually see the plates inside turn bright red. It kicks out a decent amount of heat. It keeps my bedroom warm. In fact, I have had to get up in the middle of the night and turn it down because I had the thermostat set too high and I woke up sweating.

The Holmes is also easy to operate. First you set the thermostat to high. The mode can be set to low (750W) or high speed (1500W). After the heater heats up you can set the thermostat to a desired setting. When the temperature reaches the desired level, the heater automatically shuts down. Then when the temperature drops below the desired setting, the heater automatically turns back on. To stop the heater from cycling on and off, just set the thermostat to high. It’s as simple as that.

The heater has safety features to protect you, your family and your home. It has an auto safety shut off with instant tip over protection feature. If the heater reaches an unsafe operating temperature, it automatically shuts off. It will not turn back on again until the unit is reset. To reset the unit, just wait 15 minutes and press the reset button on the back. Then turn the heater on again like normal. If the unit is knocked over, it will automatically shut off. To reset it, just stand it upright again.

Nothing is ever perfect though, and the Holmes Quartz Tower Heater does have a few things that could be improved. The heater is kind of loud. It “vibrates” as it heats up. Then even when it stops vibrating, it makes a humming sound while the heater is on. I actually do not mind the humming sound. From reading other reviews, I gather most people find it annoying. In all honesty it is not actually loud at all. I find the humming sound to be soothing. It helps add to the cozy feeling.

The handle on the Holmes has got to be the worst design I have ever seen. The handle is actually cut into the back of the heater. It is like a little cubby whole that you put your fingers in and then grip the top of the heater and lift. The whole is placed to close to the top and does not extend in far enough. So the heater is hard to carry. It starts to slip out of your hand rather easily.

The face of the heater also gets really hot. There is a little railing on the front that almost looks like a handle, but if you touch it while the unit is still hot, you are in for a treat. The entire front and the little handle on the front are covered with some kind of coating that help it to cool off quickly after the unit is shut off.

If those 3 things were fixed or improved in some way, this would be the perfect heater. It was well worth the $40 I paid for it. I am thinking about buying another one for my living room area.
