Get Heated With the New Honeywell 360 Degrees Surround Portable Heater

Stay warm this winter with the newest portable heater to hit the shelves this fall -- the Honeywell 360° Surround Heater™ (HZ-0360). Designed with surround heat technology for all around heat output, consumers can "get heated" no matter where they sit in the room; a terrific choice for those looking to stay warm and cozy during the year's coldest months.

The Honeywell 360°, fan-forced unit comes equipped with multiple heat settings, an adjustable thermostat and a convenient carrying handle, making it ideal for everyone in the household. The heater is also marked with an exclusive Honeywell "Safety Matters" seal, which tells consumers the product is designed with a number of safety features that exceed industry standards. It boasts enhanced safety features such as the new 360° SafetyTIP™that turns the heater off when tipped in any direction, preventing it from overheating when not in its operational position. It also comes equipped with an auto-off hi-limit switch and overheat protection. And, all Honeywell portable heaters come with a three-year limited warranty.

"We're really excited about the Honeywell 360° Surround Heater," stated Kristin Anderson, brand manager for Honeywell portable heaters. "Designed specifically to meet consumer demand for all around heating, this heater fits any room, has simple controls and is easy to use. The heat emits from around the heater versus a heater that oscillates back and forth. And, I personally love the new 360° SafetyTIP, a great feature for any busy household and if you want to save money, simply run the heater on the energy efficient low setting which is designed to use less electricity."

The Honeywell 360° Surround portable heaters will be available at Walmart, Target, Meijer, Best Buy, Amazon and other select retailers and have suggested retail prices ranging from $30-40.
