I'm using this to keep a mini-greenhouse warm on cold nights. I bought 2 actually, as I added a second mini-greenhouse recently. I bought one heater to go in the new mini-greenhouse, then bought a second heater for the old mini-greenhouse after testing the first heater.
These greenhouses are basically small 4 tiered wire shelves with a plastic cover. I was using a larger heater, which I had on hand, to heat the old mini-greenhouse. With the heater on the bottom shelf, I was unable to make use of the shelf above the heater, as my seed trays would deform from the heat. With this new, smaller heater, I don't have that problem. It heats the small space without difficulty, but at a low intensity, so I don't have to worry about my seed trays deforming. I removed/bypassed the safety switch because I have the heater sitting on a wire shelf rather than a solid surface.
This is not the most powerful heater, but it's a very good heater, depending on your needs. The internals, besides the safety switch which I removed, are a typical plastic PC fan, the heating element, and the rocker-switch used for on-off. Very simple device, few failure points. Come to think of it, I didn't see any power adapter inside, but there must be one, since PC fans run on 12vdc. I googled it and apparently 120vac PC fans do exist, so maybe it's one of those instead. I'd open the heater again to double-check for a power adapter or maybe some hidden board with a voltage divider, but I'd have to undo all of my wire management inside one of the greenhouses, which I don't want to do. Anyway, I think the heating coil and fan both run off straight 120vac, without the need for any adapter.

Small but mighty
It’s small but it’s exactly what I needed for my work desk to keep my hands warm. It puts out good warmth without burning you. The whole thing doesn’t heat up (meaning the sides and bottom) so I’m glad about it not melting anything. It’s also very quiet which was a pleasant surprise. My last one was loud and finally gave out on me. Happy with the replacement! Recommend!

Muy útil para calentar la zona del escritorio
Color: BlueVerified Purchase
Trabajo en la computadora y mi cuarto es frío 12-15°C aún de día, por lo que escogí este calentón y no defrauda, es pequeño aproximadamente del tamaño de una palma de la mano, pero cumple su función, no lo pondría para calentar una habitación por qué es muy pequeño, pero si lo necesitas para tu área de trabajo en la oficina es suficiente. Es sencillo y el ruido es el mismo que el de un ventilador de escritorio a baja velocidad.luisMuy útil para calentar la zona del escritorio
