According to reviews, the top-ranked Holmes Quartz Tower radiant heater provides comforting heat almost instantly, warming objects -- including people -- rather than room air. It's ideal for areas where you get dressed or need spot heat for one or two people. Reviews praise this Holmes quartz heater for its safety features, quiet fan and one-touch thermostatic controls. It automatically shuts off if it's overheated or tipped over. Two wattage settings help conserve energy, and the warranty is for six years.
