Freestanding heaters come in several different varieties; hot-air blowers, natural gas burners, and circulated-oil warmers. Then there are reflective heaters, which use electricity to warm a metal screen that then reflects heat out into the room. The Soleus Air MS-12 reflective heater has a few advantages over other types of heaters; it doesn't burn up oxygen like a natural gas heater, and it doesn't stir up dust as would the blower variety. And it's practically silent, without the ticking and pinging common in some of the other heater types.
The MS-12 reflective heater is made of sturdy, heat-resistant black plastic and matte-finish gray metal; it has a protective steel grill over the reflective honeycomb of metal mesh that radiates the heat. It's compact--only a little over a foot tall--hence the "Personal"; it's just the right size to place near a comfy chair in a chilly room to create a cozy, personal bubble of warmth. If a slightly wider distribution of heat is desired, the MS-12 oscillates from side to side with the turn of a knob.

Cute, compact, and weighing only three pounds, this swivel fan heater goes just about anywhere. Take it to work, the vacation cabin, or from room to room, and swivel it manually to direct heat where it's needed most. Simple one-touch operation toggles through thermostat-controlled settings for 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80 degrees F, and for low (1,000 watts) and high (1,500 watts) output. The heater maintains the desired temperature by cycling on and off or runs continually when set on manual mode. If it overheats, the heater instantly shuts off. Measuring 10 by 8 by 5-1/2 inches, this powerful but quiet little heat source can sit on the floor or a table. Holmes provides this heater with a three-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
