It's made from extra thick and durable plastic, which holds the heat well so it doesn't get too hot. Crafted into a compact size, it's suitable for standing on desks, tables and similar areas. It oscillates a maximum of 45 degrees to cover a larger area than expected, with a 10 to 35 degrees Celsius thermostat setting, to keep to a comfortable temperature. Comes complete with an automatic shut-off feature, for safety.
