Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Keep rooms up to 120 square feet comfortably warm all winter long with this electric panel heater. Similar to a central heating system, yet far less expensive, the unit allows for extended use and doesn't take up any floor space. The out-of-the-way heater mounts directly to the wall and can be plugged into any standard wall outlet or hardwired, taking less than 10 minutes to install. A smart alternative to conventional space heaters and other systems that use large amounts of energy, the heater heats an entire room using the same amount of electricity as four 100-watt light bulbs. Its efficient convection technology generates heat behind the unit, drawing cold air into the 3/4-inch gap between the heater and the wall and releasing about 90 percent in an up-draft from the top of the unit out into the room, with only 10 percent radiating forward from the front of the panel. This creates a natural circulation of warm air throughout the room without the need for fans. Furthermore, the neutral-white unit can be painted with water-based Latex paint to match any wall color. A mounting kit comes included. Safe, efficient, and economical, the UL-listed heater measures 23-1/4 by 23-1/4 by 3/8 inches and carries a two-year warranty.

This is the best5
My house is heated by a propane fireplace. With the cost of propane rising dramatically, I bought three of these heaters last year and used them all winter. I heated my full 1200 square foot living area with those three heaters at an approximate cost of $1 per day. I can't recommend these highly enough. And if you have children or pets, they are very safe--they do get hot, but not hot enough to burn you. Plus, they are totally quiet.
I have recommended these heaters to friends and neighbors.

Very nice for secondary zone heating5
As we try to turn back the temps at night, so we dont heat a 2,000 sq ft house, while we sleep under the covers...I have 2 kids which dont always stay under the covers!

So I used the typical space heaters for a while, ugly as the are, and at 750 or 1500 watts, they kept the room temps up just fine.

Along comes this wall unit, at 400 watts. It attaches to the wall, can be painted to match the room, plugs into any outlet, and one can heat a small room by itself.

While I do not recommend these for primary heating, because they take too long to warm up, I HIGHLY recommend them for seconardy zone heating for bedrooms.

Connecting two of more per room, and you probably could use them for primary heating and *could* take the place of base board heaters. But 2 or 3 panels would take up a lot of space and not look good, thus I do not recommend replacing baseboard heaters with these panels.

These are on simple switches out of the box, there is no thermostat. I have found the Lux WIN100 Smart Temp Fully Programmable Thermostat to be the ultimate solution. Set the times you want the heater on and off, set the temps you want, plug it in, then plug in the heater...and your done for the season.

It was love at first sight, A great looking heater, producing oodles of heat - even in upstate New York, and using 1/3 of the wattage of my baseboard heaters - what's not to love? I picked up six of them and mounted them on various walls around the house.
The honeymoon ended after 18 months. The heater in my bedroom started singing a tuneful but dolorous melody whenever it turned on. A few weeks of that and it sang no more. Curious, I removed it from its wall mounting and discovered large, deep cracks on the surface of its backside. Even more curious, I started removing some of the other heaters. Though only three had scary cracks, all showed some signs of cracking. It did not seem to matter whether they had been mounted on interior or exterior walls. They cracked. I wish the manufacturer had gone to Corning for the ceramic!
Fire hazard, I said to myself.
Divorce was inevitable.
