Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've rated it a 3 because I'd prefer a unit that provided greater air circulation. For many years I've used a Sears Model 344-362200 that has the same watts/volts/amp ratings and is approx the same size. However, the old Sears provides an air circulation at least 3 times greater than this one. The Sears takes in air from the back and blows it directly out the front. The 25986 retrieves the air from its sides and blows it out the front. Perhaps it is the redirection of air that results in its lower air circulation.
Its nice to have a unit that supplies a bit of extra heat when needed, but I primarily use units such as this to circulate the air for a cooling effect. I don't have ceiling fans and with this summer being hot and humid, decided to get another unit to increase the effectiveness of the a/c. This unit does have a fan only option, but it doesn't have a "two speed fan setting" as advertised. It provides heat settings for high and low, and only one fan setting for air only (without heat). For operating, there are 2 dials ~ one having 4 positions of off/fan/low heat/high heat ~ and the 2nd dial is turned for variable heat settings. The temperature dial needs to be turned from its off position for the unit to operate ~ i.e. both dials need to be turned from their off position for the unit to operate. I thought it confusing that in order to operate on fan only, the temperature dial had to be set. The unit is no more or less noisy than my old Sears ~ making a smooth humming sound similar to my bathrooms' exhaust fans.
The heating appears to be strong, but I've not as yet used it for heating.
