Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HZ-2200 Mini Tower Surround Heater
Customer Review: Excellent Room Heating Unit
Summary: 5 Stars
This little unit heats two of our children's rooms (10x8 and 12x14) perfectly! Their rooms are normally around 63 degrees while the house is at 66, and this unit will elevate them to 75-80 degrees with very little effort. I know because I used an electric thermometer to measure the temperature.
Don't expect this unit to completely heat a room without the presence of a central home heating unit. Meaning, this unit will not heat a small cabinet in the middle of the wood by itself. But if you have central heating (baseboard or central-air) and keep the temperature low to save on gas bills this is a perfect unit! It's made to complement them.
The only thing that I wish it has is a digital thermometer so that I can set it at the exact temperature instead of doing it by feel. But then, it's so inexpensive I can't really complain.

Customer Review: Excellent addition to my office...
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm extremely pleased with this little heater. I've had two other brand heaters to die on me in the last year but this is an excellent replacement. My office is frosty yearlong so this heater is great because I'm able to run it at any temperature without any problems; the metal surface area does it hot so it's safe...it automatically cuts off if you tip it over and doesn't "overheat" or short circuit after running it for an extended period of time. I would definitely recommend.Customer Review: Excellent for small, enclosed
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros:
Small footprint
Heating element well hidden inside the machine
Redundant safety features
Relatively quiet
Competitively priced
Cons:
Thermostat is not as accurate as I like
Not good for "spot" heating, like warming up just the rocking chair area when watching TV.
This heater suits best for heating up small, enclosed spaces (about 14x14sq.ft.). I use it in my bedroom and the result is great.
The air outlet velocity is low and non vectorized by design. It relies on low velocity, de-facto free, convection as a prime source of heat transfer. This mode of heating carries an advantage for not drying skin (Example, a typical hot-air blowing heater acts like a hair dryer!), and heat very evenly within a small area. Thus make this a bad choice for "spot" heating.
Advice the last person who gave this machine a bad rating. You are like complaining about a Toyota Corolla not able to reach 200mph. Please spend some money to insulate the place and buy a bigger heater, or two for your application.
The unit was solidly built, has overheat and tip-over sensor, and the heating element was located in a remote location and it's impossible to touch. Therefore, it scores really high on safety. However, please use common sense when using this unit (keep the unit away from small children, moisture, water, drapery...)
The unit uses a "Mechanical" thermostat and it does not control the room's temperature very well. It would be better for Honeywell to change it to a digital thermostat.
Conclusion: Use it for what it's best for (small, enclosed space or 14x14 sq.ft.), and you will not be dissappointed.
Customer Review: Excellent pick!
Summary: 5 Stars
Like others have mentioned, this mini heater packs a powerful punch. It's not the kind of heater you go to to get an all over cozy feeling on your legs or feet after a shower. It does however heat a whole room of substantial size. You won't be disappointed.Customer Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
When my husband and I moved into our new home in May06, we found in the basement back room two of these heaters. We contacted the pervious owners and told them they had left the heaters, they had left them for us and told us these are good heaters and where we should place them in the house to help keep the bill down. When the weather begin to cool down we used these heaters, the house was warm. So we order three more and they help us to keep our heating bill down. They work very well and it does not take long for the area to heat up. During the day when we are home we turn on all the ones in the house and it is amazing how well they heat the house up, the cord does not get hot and they have a shut off componet, it is just a great product. I would reccommend this product to anyone who is shopping for heaters. I give it 5 stars! and label it Excellent!
