The BHDC201 is a personal ceramic heater with three settings: fan only, a 750 watt low and a 1500 watt high. A ceramic element is self-limiting, meaning its temperature rises only so far, which helps safety. Fan-forced air spreads heat quickly across a small zone.
The 750 watt low produces about 2,559 BTU per hour, enough for roughly 75 square feet by the rule of ten watts per square foot. That suits a desk, bathroom or small bedroom. Against the Good Housekeeping wall unit, it is portable and offers higher power, while that unit offers a thermostat and timer.
Ownership is easy. Plug it directly into the wall, never an extension cord or power strip, keep three feet clear of combustibles and dust the grille occasionally. A warm plug is a warning sign, so check it after the first hour.
