More comfort without full blast
Many personal heaters drop to 750 watts on low. The BHDC500B holds 900, which keeps a chilly office comfortable on the gentler setting so you are not toggling to high every few minutes.

A stronger low setting for desks that never quite warm up
At a Glance
- 900 W low: a stronger low than the 750 W personal heaters
- 1500 W high: full power for the coldest mornings
- Ceramic core: fast warmth with a fan to push it forward
- Matte black: blends with monitors and dark desk gear
- 2.8 lb: carry handle built into the top
If a 750 watt low setting leaves you still reaching for a sweater, the BLACK+DECKER BHDC500B steps up. This black desktop ceramic heater runs 900 watts on low and 1500 watts on high, so even its gentle setting has some punch. A manual thermostat lets you settle on a comfort level, and a fan-only mode handles stuffy summer afternoons. The black finish disappears next to a monitor or a dark wood desk, and at 2.8 pounds with a top handle it moves between rooms easily.
Key Features
- Stronger 900 W low setting: more warmth on low than a standard 750 W personal heater, without jumping to full power.
- Full 1500 W high: maximum household-heater output when the office is frigid.
- Ceramic heating element: heats up quickly and the fan carries that warmth straight to you.
- Manual adjustable thermostat: turn the dial to the comfort level you like and let it cycle.
- Fan-only setting: moves air with no heat for warm-weather use.
- Overheat and tip-over shutoff: power cuts automatically if it overheats or gets bumped over, and an indicator light shows it is on.
What's Included
In the box: one BLACK+DECKER BHDC500B46 desktop ceramic heater in black and the owner's manual.
Before You Buy
- This listing is the black BHDC500B; a white BHDC500W is also available. Both colors are the same heater with the same 900 W low, 1500 W high, and fan settings, so pick the finish that suits your desk.
- It draws 12.5 amps on high and must go straight into a wall outlet. BLACK+DECKER says never to use it with an extension cord or relocatable power tap, so plan for a free wall outlet near your desk.
- It warms the person in front of it, not a whole floor. Use it for a desk, bedside, or small room; a large open living area needs a full-size heater.
Perfect For
- Dark, modern desk setups
- Home offices that stay cold on low settings
- Garage-adjacent rooms and sunrooms in winter
- Gamers and streamers with black gear
Care & Use
- Unplug and let it cool before cleaning.
- Wipe the case with a soft, damp cloth; never use alcohol, gasoline, or abrasive powders, and never immerse it.
- Keep at least 3 feet clear in front and keep the sides and rear open.
- Indoor use only. Not for bathrooms or laundry areas.
- Never leave it on unattended.

Why the 900 W low matters
A finish that disappears
The black case sits quietly beside dark monitors, keyboards, and speakers. It looks like part of the setup instead of an appliance that wandered in from the laundry room for the winter.
Steady ceramic heat
A ceramic core warms up quickly and the built-in fan carries heat forward to your legs and hands. Set the thermostat dial once and the heater cycles to hold that comfort level.

How does the BHDC500B compare?
vs. a 750 W low personal heater
Lower-wattage low settings can feel too weak in a cold room. The 900 W low here gives you a meaningful middle step.
vs. a space heater for the whole room
Room heaters are bigger, heavier, and heat air you are not sitting in. This one targets your desk zone.
vs. a heated desk pad
Desk pads warm your forearms only. A ceramic heater warms the air around your legs, hands, and torso.
Fits your desk
A small ceramic heater with a handle on top.

FAQs
Common questions that customers ask

Good Heat
This does a good job warming up our bedroom in the mountains in the winter when it is really cold. The heater has a good fall-over safety switch. If the heater tips over, the heater will turn off.

Doesn't work on high setting.
Bought 3 of them. Just opened my last one yesterday after being in the box for 60 days. It lasted on high for about 45 seconds before it switched off. One of the other ones also does this. Pretty lame. It works occasionally on low, but not high. It must have a thermal cut off switch. You'd think they would test the products before selling an item. Don't buy.
