Solid wall heater, could use a better thermostat though
As mentioned in many other reviews, I really like space heaters. So when I saw a wall mounted space heater, I knew I had to give it a try. I really like this heater; the design itself is super cool. It’s very sleek and almost looks like a mini split air conditioner. It is easy to wall mount as well; the included screws and drywall hooks worked perfectly for mounting and held the heater strongly against the wall. The heater itself is a little loud, the fan motor rattles a bit so I wouldn’t mount this on an apartment wall or a wall with little insulation in it, as you can definitely hear it on the other side. However, it does work quite well. The controls are rather confusing, but getting the heat to work is simple enough, just push power and then heat 1 or 2. It is nice to have 2 different levels of heat as well as a thermostat built in, which makes it convenient to get the room to the right temperature. Unfortunately, the thermostat itself does not work very well. It reads substantially higher than the actual room temperature, I am guessing because the thermostat is either right next to the heating element or above it in the return air stream, so it makes setting a temperature basically impossible as after about 5 minutes of running, the thermostat reads over 80 degrees despite the room being 65-66 as measured by 3 different thermometers. And although in my photos it is mounted super close to the ceiling, I did test this at eye level as well and it still read well above the actual room temperature. In terms of safety, the heater only draws 1450 watts on high, and it’s consistent so it’s not drawing too much power. There is an over temperature sensor inside, as well as a 30 second cool down when turned off, which is good. I don’t see any tip over switches, but this is supposed to be wall mounted so one isn’t needed. I would like to see a grounded power cord but that’s not a big deal. Overall, a solid score in the safety department. I received 2 of these, as the first one did not work, the fan motor wouldn’t turn. Thankfully, Amazon sent me a replacement, and this one seems to work well. Overall, this is a good heater which could be improved with a better thermostat. Solid product!
