It's true. People have different temperatures that they think are optimal and comfortable. For some people 70F is warm, while for others it's quite cold. That's why a personal heater is such a great addition to a house, office, apartment or dorm room. The Benuo 950W Oscillating Space Heater is an excellent option with its many safety features and instant-on heat.
Tech expert and Colorado resident Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ had a close look at the Benuo Space Heater and found it a good option for heating up small spaces, though there are a few hiccups too...

can this space heater keep you warm all
0:01
winter let's check it out Dave Taylor
0:11
here and I'm looking at space heaters
0:12
because it's getting cold and when it's
0:14
cold there's nothing like a little
0:16
source of heat to really make things a
0:19
whole lot more pleasant that's what this
0:21
is this is the been oh oh
0:23
950 watt space heater and it's a pretty
0:26
nice little device it has two heating
0:29
modes 700 watts and 950 watts and
0:32
there's a fan only mode if it's not that
0:35
hot or you're just trying to balance
0:37
things out and it's operating based on a
0:40
PTC ceramic heating element which means
0:43
it gets hot super fast like a couple of
0:46
seconds fast so if you're freezing cold
0:48
you turn this on a boom you're warming
0:50
up which is nice now it also has all
0:53
sorts of other neat features like a
0:55
removable air intake grille on the back
0:57
so if you actually want to clean your
1:00
little air filter you can do that now
1:03
it's not a super heavy-duty sort of HEPA
1:06
filter or anything but it's nice to know
1:08
if you're picking up dust in your
1:09
environment that you have this as an
1:11
option to actually clean it now it also
1:15
has in fact what I'm doing right now
1:17
should cause it to turn off in fact you
1:20
know what let's stop talking about it
1:21
and let's turn it on so there's a power
1:23
switch on the back and then on the top
1:26
there are three buttons there's the
1:28
on/off button
1:29
there's the mode button remember there
1:31
are three modes to heating and one for
1:34
just cooling and then there's turning on
1:36
or off the swing or oscillation as I
1:39
like to call it so let's turn it on and
1:43
it's gonna go straight into I think cool
1:47
mode say it's already noticed that I've
1:50
picked it up so it turned itself off
1:51
let's turn it on again and if you look
1:54
it's very subtle but on the bottom you
1:55
get some light feedback that shows you
1:59
if it's in cool or low heat or high heat
2:03
and I can tell you with my hand here
2:06
it's pretty toasty now let's go ahead
2:09
and turn on the oscillation
2:13
and it actually gives you a full
2:15
90-degree oscillation it's not super
2:17
fast so you might actually just point it
2:20
at yourself and turn it off
2:22
so this could be great for like under
2:24
your desk for example but more
2:27
importantly let's see what happens when
2:28
I drop it turned off that is super
2:33
important because safety is such a
2:35
critical element with any space heater
2:37
it is super important that it's not
2:39
going to fall over catch on fire
2:41
anything like that now they also have
2:44
built in an overheat switch so if it's
2:48
overheating for some reason maybe you
2:51
pulled in a piece of fabric or something
2:53
and now there's no air flow it will
2:55
automatically turn off again you don't
2:58
want things to catch on fire that would
3:00
be bad it's also built out of flame
3:02
resistant materials which is smart
3:03
though hopefully you never see any
3:06
flames in the first place and in fact
3:07
with the ceramic heating element there
3:09
is no flame there's nothing actually
3:11
flaming inside which some space heaters
3:15
do that which is a little scary now
3:17
let's see 90-degree oscillation we've
3:20
talked about the safety features so it's
3:23
a pretty simple device it does have a
3:25
little handle on it so you can carry it
3:27
around the power cords may be a bit
3:30
short it's really designed to be in
3:33
small spaces this could be good for
3:35
example in a dorm room or in an office
3:37
if you work in an office space where you
3:40
just don't get to turn on and control
3:42
the thermostat this could be a lifesaver
3:44
when it's cold even in the summer
3:46
frankly I've been into some offices
3:48
where they air-conditioned way too much
3:50
and that's not good so this would
3:53
actually manage that or of course you
3:55
can just go into cool mode and then when
4:00
it's in cool mode you can actually just
4:02
have it it's like a little fan so that
4:04
could work for you during the summer if
4:06
you just want to have a little bit of
4:07
airflow it's not a lot going on but it
4:11
gives you something and that's nice
4:12
so there's a lot I like about it I do
4:15
have a couple of criticisms though one
4:17
of which is that I really wish that it
4:20
had a remote control and it doesn't that
4:22
would be really convenient even just an
4:24
on-off of some sort you have
4:26
use these controls on the top and that
4:29
gets a little tedious let's turn it off
4:30
there we go and there's no timer again
4:33
something I really like is if you're
4:36
using this at night it would be nice to
4:38
say run for an hour and then turn off
4:40
for the night because you don't really I
4:42
generally am NOT a fan of running space
4:44
heaters for like 7 8 9 10 hours while
4:47
you're sleeping gives me a little
4:49
anxiety because you don't know what's
4:51
happening now I will also mention that
4:53
there is a feature that you turn it off
4:56
it doesn't actually turn off for a
4:57
couple of seconds because it's
4:59
monitoring the temperature of that
5:00
ceramic heating element so as you just
5:03
noticed I turned it off but the fan was
5:06
still running for probably about 10
5:07
seconds just trying to cool things down
5:09
again that's a smart safety feature so
5:13
with those pros and cons let me tell you
5:16
about the price because it's actually
5:18
not a bad deal at all
5:19
but whoa before we get there can I ask
5:22
for you to go ahead and click on that
5:23
subscribe button
5:24
I really appreciate if you can subscribe
5:26
to my channel it really makes a huge
5:28
difference and if you want to give me
5:30
feedback leave me a comment I really
5:32
love to get comments from people and I
5:35
answer all of them so even if you're
5:37
snarky or hostile I'm looking at you
5:40
then leave a comment and we'll go at it
5:43
whatever I mean it's a space heater
5:45
what's to talk about but anyway so the
5:48
Ben oo 950 watt super compact
5:51
oscillating space heater is $47.99
5:55
at amazon.com and as it gets cold
5:58
outside and as that snow piles up a
6:01
little space heater is a huge win so I'm
6:05
gonna turn this back on and I'm gonna
6:07
warm myself up so I will catch you in my
6:11
next video
