Wall Mount Space Heater Panel - with Thermostat - 600 Watt Convection Heater - Ideal for 200 Sq Ft Room - 120V Electric Heater

Simply awesome. Installed this on my home theater wall, and gave it a quick coat of Behr Marquee indoor latex paint to match the wall and column, and it looks and works beautifully. Nice and warm, improved the temp in my theater by a few degrees per hour (took about 1.5 hours to bring the theater, normally 6 degrees colder than my main floor, up to main floor temps). I read a lot of commenters talk about the 'smell' that comes off it, and though I did notice a bit of a sort of hospital antiseptic smell the first few days, it was super mild and within a week was no longer detectable. I'm not sure if it was the paint that helped cover the smell or what, but it really wasn't an issue, I didnt need to put it outside or do any other off-gassing tricks or any of that nonsense. And the best part is the efficiency of this thing. I have used it for hours and hours of theater movie watching this past month, and my electric bill was only about ten bucks higher than normal. That is less than a third of what it used to cost me to run a different kind of wall mounted space heater, so that was a huge win. I will be purchasing two more of these in the near future, a second one for the theater to help raise the temp quicker, as I dont leave the heater on 24/7 and just click it on on movie nights, and one for my office, which still has a blower heater. Highly recommended!

After opening the wall panel heater I experienced a strong pungent smell. I quickly took it out side to finish opening and left the panel in the sun to air out and all the packaging. Five hours later the smell wasn’t to bad and started installing it in my room. Pretty simple to install and really good instructions. I waited until the next morning to test it. The thermostat worked good and started heating up quickly. It took 50 minutes for the room to heat 1 degree. Lots of heat. I think this unit will save me money. It blends in with the wall and I’m planning on painting the panel to match the other walls. I think it will give me a nice even heat with no noise or air and dust movement. Make sure you dispose of the box and packaging materials as soon as possible because of the smell.

This unit stunk from the first time it was turned on, and it still stinks when turned on over two years later. Massive amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are being released when the unit is warm. It has been relegated to a "damp chaser" in an uninhabited part of the house. If painting with a water-based paint (latex?) solves the stench issue, why haven't the manufacturers painted at the factory? Where are these units actually manufactured? Not assembled, not boxed, not sold, but manufactured? A good friend installed similar panels in a house and they never stank. Must be a brand thing. I'm sticking to radiator style oil-based room heaters. Clunky, yes, but they are not poisoning anyone.

It was easy to install, but I do believe the company needs to update their installation video - it has conflicting information and no reasoning as to why the written instructions are different (upgraded?). The video shows the heater installed above an outlet (the instructions say no). Somewhere it says at least 4 inches above the floor, but when you ask them directly, they claim 12 - 18 inches above the floor. Some models have a heat guard and some do not, is there a difference in the amount of heat the device will put out? I was told "no" but I read or saw somewhere that it will decrease the amount of heat. This company, so far, has good customer service. I have phoned and emailed and received responses right away. I am not certain why their heaters need to be so far up the wall, where others can be used lower? I know the optional stands for this heater are 12 inches where other similar heaters are half the size or less? Regarding the heat output - I have the 600 watt in an open Living room which has a hallway attached and a kitchen entrance. At a setting of 78 degrees, it kept the area at 61 degrees when the outside temperature was in the low 30's. They do recommend 2 heaters in open spaces. I don't mind the house in the low 60's and this was purchased as a possibility of switching from pellet stove to all electric heat. We would like to be able to go away for a long weekend, but need to have the stove tended. By having electric panels, we could feel confident that the pipes would not freeze in the winter. I have yet to test the heater below 32 degrees. I am planning to purchase at least one 400 watt for the kitchen and see how that works. Overall the panel did give heat, but I could easily see why you may need more than one. Keep in mind where you would place it prior to purchasing - the large 600 watt heater is 2' x 3' and can go on the wall in either direction - this large heater can not be used with the optional stand, so it must be mounted on the wall. I was told via telephone, that it cannot go above an outlet or below, it cannot go under a window, and it needs to be installed 12-18 inches above the floor. Sounds easy, but in my house I could really only find one spot in the living room. Also, the screws go very far into the wall - turn off electric power in that room in case you accidentally screw into a wire. The thermostat plug (included) takes up the entire outlet. If your home is like mine, I use every outlet in my house. I will ask the electrician to install a dedicated outlet. In the meantime I did purchase a heavy duty short extension cord meant for heaters and AC to use in the meantime. And yes it is true, the smell is awful - but it does go away. I opened the box outdoors, as suggested by others. I kept the heater in the garage for 3 weeks, with the window open. I then moved it into the enclosed porch for a week and eventually into the living room. When I first turned it on to test, it smelled. I turned it off after 30 minutes. The second time I turned it off after one hour. The third time the smell was gone. They claim you can paint it, but I wasn't certain where its home would be so I have not painted it yet. I would believe that painting it would get rid of the smell much quicker - use no voc paint only.

I wanted so badly to believe that the reviews I read were exaggerated. Some people have over-sensitive noses and I don't generally mind a small amount of off gassing for a short period of time. But believe me when I say that this is beyond the pale and unacceptable that anybody would sell a product for home use that smells this bad. I would describe it as a harsh rubber smell. One of my housemates described it as burning plastic. I put it in a bathroom, turned it on, turned on the exhaust fan *and* put an air purifier in the bathroom to try to get it through this, and now, 2 days later, I still can't go in the bathroom without getting a burning throat and headache from the intense fumes. You will not want this heater in your home. It has a really pleasant, comfortable radiant warmth. The surface temperature ranges from the low 100's to 230 degrees at the hottest spot. The bathroom feels very cozy, so if it were not for the smell, this would be the perfect product, in my estimation. Yes, you have to mount a reflecting mat behind the heater, but I'm okay with that. The template and the mounting hardware make this an easy installation. Really, I love everything about this heater, but if I had believed the reviews and how bad the smell would be, I would never have purchased it. If the manufacturer reads this (I hope they do) you need to fix this before you sell it. Nobody wants this product in their home the way it smells. There is simply no rescuing this situation. I may have to return it if the smell doesn't go away soon.

It honestly works a lot better than I expected. Turn a fan on to help circulate the heat and you'll be amazed. Keeps our room warm as well as the hall, bathroom and laundry room comfortable until it gets down to about 30°F outside and then it has a hard time keeping up, but will maintain roughly a 40°F difference between outside temp and room temp in a 200sqft area with average insulation. I previously bought a 400w and was impressed, so we moved it to another room and got the 600w to put in our end of the house. My only issue is that the 600w arrived with 3 busted corners. No big deal. Still worked fine and I plan to patch the corners with a resin, rather than deal woth shipping and waiting on a replacememt during the holidays... but I would definitely like my $175 heater to arrive in good condition 🧐. I still intend to buy a 3rd (the smaller 250w)

I like it! So far. I bought this for a bedroom located above the garage. Despite everything I’ve tried including insulating my garage door and re insulating my attic, this room remains freezing in the cooler months. Seriously like 54 degrees while the rest of the house is 68. I was desperate to find something low energy that would warm the room. The room is 143 sq ft/ I bought the 600w. When it arrived I was worried it was gigantic. But I installed it on an exterior wall and it’s doing great! The room is perfectly warm. It took a few days to figure out what to set the thermostat at… but it’s been great! I love that it silent. I also love that it’s not hot enough to burn you, so if a child touches it they won’t need to go to the hospital. It certainly hot but nothing crazy.

One year - it died Great heater - Saves space only one complaint I have is ... it smells... like it smells really bad. It reeks of burnt plastic and just funky smelly stuff. I can’t explain. I keep waiting for it to get better but it doesn’t - it’s like it’s in the ceramic plate somehow. I’ve gently wiped it with water, I’ve tried to drown out the smell with other things like oil diffusers ... nothing makes the stank of burnt plastic and whatever go away. I have birds too so I’m scared to have them near it- as burning anything will make them sick... and cause death. It’s a great heater - just wish it didn’t smell like burning plastic and garbage.

Hace como una año compre este calentador para el cuarto de mi hijo, en las instrucciones menciona que el mal olor desaparece al poco tiempo de usarlo, de modo que antes de la llegada de mi hijo lo prendía pero el olor no disminuía, ya cuando nación nuestro hijo, lo saque a la intemperie prendiéndolo diario durante el día pero el olor jamás bajo. Con el fuerte olor a químicos que desprende lo hace un producto inutilizable y como ví en otra reseña de esta página ya no es posible regresarlo. NO LO COMPREN!! es una inversión demasiado alta para no poder utilizarlo.

No es el producto que ofrecen , tarda mucho en calentar y no calienta ni un metro cuadrado . Esta carísimo para recibir esto . Quiero mi dinero de vuelta .
