 Automatic Mode UselessJan 08, 2007
By yndyan
Got one of these today. Thot the other guys that had this problem were just unlucky, and decided to trust the Honeywell name. Boy, was I wrong. SureSet, my foot. The thermostat in this device does indeed seem to be measuring the temperature of the unit itself, although not the actual element, maybe the heated plastic body. I do not recommend that anyone buys this heater if they want to use the automatic mode. It functions well in the high and low constant heating mode. I have a lasko 5365 heater as well, that works well in all modes.
Update: Lasko 5365 is displaying same odd thermostat behaviour, I am beginning to think this behaviour is a product of the environment where the heater is used, and not just poor manufacturer design.
Update 2: Confirmed that 5365 thermostat works fine if heater placed in middle of open space to be heated as opposed to against a wall. HZ-338 thermostat performance doesn't seem to improve when in open area.

 Thermostat doesn't workNov 27, 2006
By NRen
Ditto the other's observations... The thermostat seems to register the temperature of the unit itself rather than the room... I had the thing in a 63 degree room, had it set to 85 degrees. It would register 90 after 30 seconds of running, turn off, slowly ramp back down to 84 degrees over a 2 minute time period, and then repeat. The temperature of the room never got above 64 degrees....

 I'm diggin' it!Nov 13, 2006
By D. Pickell
I purchased a white version of this heater elsewhere about a month ago. I love it. It is in my daughter's bedroom, which tends to be colder than the rest of the house.
At night, I turn it on to the low setting, set the temperature, set the timer, and it does the rest. It isn't as loud as my older heater that it is replacing, and I don't have to worry about remembering to turn it off in the morning.
I have since purchased a second one for my bedroom.
I have not had any of the problems the other reviewer mentioned.

Do not buyNov 11, 2006

The thermometer of this heater is completely messed up. It does not measure the room temperature, but the temperature of the air that has just been heated up. In other words, if your room temperature is 60 degrees and you program it to heat up the room to 70 degrees it will do so (according to the thermometer reading) in less 2 minutes and stop. If you do not use this functionality, but instead let the heater run for some time (5-10 minutes) the thermometer will want to make you believe that the room temperature has gone up to 90 degrees. The thermometer is probably in the wrong location. Did Honeywell do any kind of testing before putting this model on the market ?!

 Good BuyOct 07, 2009

I bought this unit to supplement my old inefficient natural gas furnace until I can get it replaced. I recently started using this heater. I haven't had the problem the others frequently mention. The heater's thermometer reads the temperature of the air going into the unit. I suspect they have their heater positioned such that the air was recirculating back to the unit. My heater was very accurate although when you turn it off and back on right away, it takes roughly 10 seconds for the thermometer to drop back down to the actual air temperature. (This is because the hot heating elements were radiating heat while it was off.)
I was surprised at the heater's ability to heat. It increased the temperature of my house from 65 degrees fahrenheit to 71 degrees fahrenheit in about 2 hours. This is not a huge increase but consider that it was 1330 sq ft. I could feel the difference and the heaters thermometer agreed with my house thermostat's. (I only intended to heat one room but I have no interior doors right now because I am replacing them. Therefore the whole house was heated but slightly more in the living room than the others.)
My two complaints are minor. First, when reading the manual it describes how to use the remote control. This unit has no remote control. Now I want a remote control. Second, I wanted a virtually silent heater. This heater is very quiet but it's still noisier than I expected.
