Nice looking heater. Has optional 4 hour auto shutoff. I'm partial to quartz heaters. Gives a nice orange fireplace glow. My dog gives it two paws up, she likes to lie in front of it. Only one setting (1000w) on this one. No fan, so its completely silent. I'll probably buy another one or two of these for individual room supplemental heating, so I can keep the rest of the house a bit cooler.
 Quiet, fan-less, warms up immediately December 25, 2008

I don't know what's special about HQH355-U, but I can tell you the Holmes HQH355 that I have looks the same and IS fan-less. It also has a 4 hour timer that's activated whenever you turn the power on, but you can deactivate the timer with a simple button push. I'm very happy with it, quiet and it warms up immediately.
I mainly use it in my bathroom when I cut my hair without wearing anything. My wife turns it on while making up. Very convenient, the heat comes up immediately and no worry about forgetting turning it off.
I disconnected one of the two quartz, so it works with only one quartz at 500W instead of 1000W (there is no 500/1000W switch on the HQH355). No temperature control, but this might be a good thing as the quartz makes a loud noise when it is lightening on from cold status. Kmart stores are selling them for $45.
I gave it 4 stars only because a 500w/1000w switch should be there as it has two quartz and the timer should be 1 hour or, even better, 1 and 4 selectable.
Update: I returned this one and bought a SoleusAir MS-11. It is totally quiet, the quartz do not make any noise while lightening up, unlike this Holmes. So I can add an inline thermal control to it, about $10 from Homedepot. It has a 800/400W switch and a switch to turn on/off the oscillator (which is also very quiet). No fan inside. I feel more heat from it even it is 200W less than this Holmes. Even at 400W, both quartz are on, just at lower lightness.
