I bought this heater for $40 and am pleased with its performance. We use it in our basement gameroom and live in Western PA - cooler climate.
The heating element is the same for all of their heaters - meaning they all provide the same amount of heat. The differences are in the features. This model has a couple features worth noting.
- oscillating - the heater slowly turns back and forth to disperse the heat around the room. Control this on the remote or the unit.
- thermostat - the heater kicks on when the ambient temp around the heater is 2 degrees under the set temp. It stays on until it reaches the desired temp. Control this on the remote or the unit.
CONS: the only negative to this model is that the temperature is digitally displayed but faces UP. When seated on a couch level with the unit, you can not see the temperature. Obviously this is not a reason to not buy this model but it is worth noting. This is why the unit received 4/5 stars. It is otherwise - perfect!
Regarding the hot cord, I did not experience this. But I also did not have it running for 5+ continuous hours. Ours kicks on until the room is up to the set temp and turns off. If it was running on high for hours on end, the cord will probably heat up. Any heater will do this.
I only noticed the smell of heated plastic for the first 5 minutes the unit was on (first time it was started). This smell went away and I have not noticed it sense (few weeks of owning it and use it every night).
