Kmart Oscillating Fan Heater Questions & Answers

Yup you can do that, there's a switch at the back of the fan

try checking with manual.. maybe something wrong. Still not working? take it back to Kmart, you can get a working one or refund.

It stays on continuously until you turn it off!

Yes it has a thermostat that stops the heater when set temperature is reached and as the room gets cool again it starts back up, constantly cycling on and off.

Take it back to Kmart for replacement or refund. If you have no receipt they will replace or give store credit.

Thanks for your questions. I thought long are hard about the answers, and here they are:
1./ unfortunately, the fan makes most of the noise (the heater is silent and the oscillating is pretty quiet -- just makes a little click when changing direction)
2./ I don't know the brand "a", nor have I compared their "pedestal fan"
I do hope this is helpful.

It's between 1800W & 2000W (2kW). This must be the estimated maximum range for different conditions. It can't mean the maximum energy consumption is 2kW and the minimum is only 1.8kW (fan only, no heat or oscillation, is only 0.2kW less... no way).
