Product Overview
The Amazon Basics Ceramic Space Heater is a personal space heater that has been designed for use in various small spaces such as desks, offices, bedroom, bathroom, dorm rooms and many others. Due to its compact size, the heater can be placed next to an individual's workspace where additional localized heat may be desired.
This is due to the fact that the heater utilizes ceramic-based heating technologies. However, it also contains an automatic tip-over safety shut-off feature. This feature will automatically cease operation of the unit should the unit fall onto its side.

Bottom Line
The Amazon Basics Ceramic Space Heater offers a practical alternative to larger heaters by providing a cost-effective, portable heater that can be used to provide some warm air in a relatively confined area such as a desk, in a small bath room or other small areas. While this heater has many good features including it being very portable and having quick ceramic heat; its limitations are a very limited coverage of space and the controls for the heater are very basic.
