Handy Heater Heatwave Parabolic Space Heater
This is a portable electric parabolic space heater, specifically the 'Handy Heater Heatwave' model. The unit features a circular, dish-shaped design common in radiant heaters, which uses a reflective interior surface to focus infrared heat forward. A fine metallic wire mesh safety guard covers the front of the parabolic reflector, which is currently glowing orange on the right side, indicating the internal ceramic heating element is active. The center of the mesh features a black shield-shaped logo with the words 'HANDY HEATER HEATWAVE' in white and yellow text. The base and rear housing are constructed from matte black plastic. The base is wide and stable with a visible red LED status indicator light and a small speaker-like vent. The unit is powered by a standard black electrical cord visible in the background. Geometrically, the heater stands approximately 12-15 inches tall. Regarding condition, there is visible surface dust on the base and mesh guard, but no obvious structural damage or warping of the reflector. The additional context '12/99' suggests a manufacturing date of December 1999, though the design style appears more consistent with modern retail consumer electronics from the late 2010s to early 2020s. The overall craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced plastic and metal domestic appliances.
