機能一覧
A function that allows the heater to rotate from side to side, distributing heat across a wider area. Useful for heating larger rooms or for sharing warmth with multiple people. Provides more even heating compared to a stationary heater.
Does not have oscillation, which means the heat is directed in a single direction and cannot be distributed across a wider area. This limits its ability to heat larger spaces effectively and requires manual repositioning to warm different areas.
A safety function that automatically shuts off the heater if it's accidentally knocked over. Important for households with children or pets to prevent fire hazards. Offers peace of mind when using the heater in busy environments.
Lacks tip-over protection, which is a significant safety concern. If the heater is accidentally knocked over, it will continue to operate, posing a potential fire hazard. Users must be extremely cautious to ensure it remains upright.
