Last heating season (2011/2012) the Cube was selling for $99. Per the date of this comment it is selling for $229. At $99 it was already pricey for a 1385 watt heater - cool vibe notwithstanding. But at $229 the premium you pay for the design is approaching "Amish Heat Surge" territory.

If you're looking for a contemporary looking 1500 watt space heater check out the Lasko 758000 Cyclonic Ceramic Heater. You could buy three of these for the price of one Cube and they're designed to fit flush against the wall - a real space saver for apartments and condos.

The majority of complaints against heaters such as these have always been too little heat for too much money, or just plain too little heat.

As far as too little heat goes you have to temper your expectations with the fact that all you’re getting is a 450 watt heater, despite any new technology used to enhance its heating capabilities.

Addressing the problem of too little heat for too much money is much simpler to resolve. At the current sale price of $110, the 450 watt Envi Heater costs 24 cents per watt.

This is in comparison to 3 1/2 cents per watt for a standard 1,500 watt space heater with an average price of $52.
