Features
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.
This heater does not have an oscillation function, meaning the heat is directed in a single direction. This may require manual adjustments to heat a wider area, making it less convenient for larger rooms where even heat distribution is desired.
