With everything you need for portability packed into one neat purchase, there’s no extras required. Simply pop on the wheels, plug it in, and you're good to go!
One thing we love about the Jazz is just how easy it is to program. The top dial takes charge of the temperature, letting you adjust the warmth from low to high. Sit back and relax knowing the thermostat shuts off as soon as your comfort level is reached. From there, the Moda Jazz will only need to turn on intermittently to maintain the temperature. The bottom dial gives you three power levels – the higher you set it, the faster it heats up – perfect for when you need warmth in a hurry.
If you’re seeking fuss-free heating in a stylish package, the Moda Jazz is the clear choice.
