Honeywell HZ-519 Digital Low Profile Convection Heater Customer Reviews

Comments about Honeywell Low Profile Silent Comfort Heater (HZ-519):

I'm now having to send back the third heater I've gotten that hasn't worked properly. The first unit worked for awhile but then started to make very loud clicking, buzzing, humming noises coming from the control unit, which I was told it shouldn't do so I sent it back. (this wasn't the noise from the heating element heating up and cooling). The first replacement unit, after about 4 months use, suddenly started to reach thermostat temperature setting(70 deg.)and then keep on heating (as into the mid 80 deg. temp). I think it was dangerous so back it went. The second replacement worked for about 2 months and then just stopped heating at all. So back it's going. The problem in each one has been, I'm sure, in the control unit. I'm getting tired of having to pay to send it back, and I am very, very disappointed to have had so much trouble. Maybe this time I'll have better luck.

I have two- one purchased several years ago and one recently. One is in my basement office and it heats this up quickly on cold winter days. The other is in an unheated room off the kitchen where I tie flys for fishing. The low profile and rapid heatup are great. It has saved me from installing heating ducts into this room that is used for maybe 1-2 hours per day.

Very good product for value.

Comments about Honeywell Low Profile Silent Comfort Heater (HZ-519):

Heater works great and is very quiet. The thermostat is a waste of time....it records the temperature at the heater and shuts it off before it can warm a room. The size is good and I would recommend it for extra heating purposes.

Comments about Honeywell Low Profile Silent Comfort Heater (HZ-519):

I feel the heater will save us money as I put it front of our fireplace where we have a lot of heat loss. The heater seems to make the heat more even in the room than it was previously and I have been able to turn our oil furnace thermostat down a bit. As I unplug the unit when it is not in use for safety reasons, every time the unit is plugged in and restarted, it automatically goes to the continuous run feature.

It would be helpful if the directions indicated that the default setting for the unit is continuous run. I had to figure that out myself as it wasn't clear why the continuous run feature was on every time after the heater was unplugged. It would be helpful for the instructions to call attention to the fact that after the unit is unplugged, if the customer wants it to cycle in and out according to the need for more or less heat, then the Temp/Timer button needs to be pressed to change that setting. There is a step missing in the instructions for that.

Overall, my family and I feel that the heater is a good one, worthy of the Honeywell name.

We purchased 2 of the Honeywell Low Profile Silent Comfort Heaters (HZ-519) and we love them. They are indeed silent. They work great for heating a large room quickly. I like the digital display. It is easy to set it to the desired temperature and the heater maintains the temperature automatically. I was very concerned about safety when considering a space heater and I think these are very safe. They won't tip over. The back of the heater does not get hot. I would recommend this heater for large rooms. They are kind of long (maybe four feet long) so that needs to be considered.

Doesn't seem to heat our 10 x 10 room very well. This is a sun room, lots of windows, etc.
