We use the radiant heater to warm the baby. The heat output is easy enough in principle sufficient Level 1 of 3 from easy. The other heat radiators repeatedly raised strong smell of foot, cable, etc. I can not confirm this. We could only notice a slight plastic smell when cord (as with other new electronic equipment as well), but which was gone in no time. The edges and corners of the molded plastic weight for the foot have burrs abbröseln at the beginning. If one uses the stand outdoors is not a problem. Since I use the stand in, I first trimmed it with his fingers, sucked and stuck down with felt pads. The walk itself is provided at the top with a round black metal cover so that the porous gegossenene plastic weight is completely covered and also when used in the interior is not a problem. The only drawback when used as a changing table heater provides the slight incline capacity of the radiator is (only 20 - 25 degrees). We have therefore left out one of the three parts of the stand when assembling, so that we can continue to adjust it according to under to warm the baby. Overall, we are satisfied so far. Since we operate the spotlight only recently, I can make no statement about the durability.
