EconoHome Wall Mount Space Heater Panel with Nano Binder - with Thermostat - 400 Watt Convection Heater - Ideal for 120 Sq Ft Room - 120V Electric Heater

We are glad that we read the reviews here and were careful to inspect the panels upon arrival for flaws.One out of the four we ordered was sent back due to a flaw in the material and the replacement we ordered was fine.There was an extremely strong "chemical" smell on the panels and the shipping materials/instruction sheet were permeated with it. The weather was nice so we kept all the boxes and materials on the patio until we made sure the panels were operational. Then we wiped the panels down with a damp cloth, plugged them in and allowed them to off-gas outside for an afternoon. We then painted one side of two of them to match the walls where they were going (low-VOC latex enamel paint, two coats). A roller designed for smooth surfaces worked best for this process.Then we plugged them in again to off-gas again outside.Before installation my husband determined where the mounting screws would go into the wall, then cut some thin, reflective insulation to a size that fits just inside the mounting hardware. He finished the edges with reflective insulation tape and attached it to the wall with double-sided tape before he installed the panels.( https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GTRMYTH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )This insulation reflects heat back into the room and helps prevent heat transfer through the wall behind the panels (in our case, exterior walls).Once installed in this manner, the reflective insulation is not visible, even from a side angle, unless you intentionally look directly behind the panel.One of the heaters still off-gassed that original (but not-as-strong) odor when it was turned on, so for the first few days I just turned it on and shut the (bathroom) door with the window cracked and fan on. Now the odor is much fainter and will hopefully grow even fainter with more use. Because of the odor we hesitate to install the other two panels in bedrooms as planned. For now we will just wait until we see if the off-gassing of the first two eventually ceases entirely.We purchased the LUX WIN100 plug-in thermostats for the two installed units:( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000E7NYY8/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_35 ).These thermostats are easy to use, intuitive to program, and seem to be working well. You plug the thermostat into the outlet, then plug the heater into the thermostat (heater plug only has two prongs). Try to make sure the heater is not too close to the thermostat's sensor.Because the panels are ideally installed low on the wall, and the plug-ins can be alongside or below the heater depending on installation, you may have to adjust the thermostat several times until you find what temperature setting on the thermostat actually works/feels best in your particular installation scenario.I am glad we bought these toward the end of summer and were able to unpack and process them outside because of the odor. We never would have been able to be in the same house with them if they had to be indoors with us during the initial phases. Now that we have two panels successfully installed and running on thermostats, I will give it some time and then update this review once they have been in operation for a while.

OMG, It's me again. It is late Oct. 2020 and I feel compelled to update my review. I do not want to leave the impression that the 4th replacement (due to obnoxious odor) of the EconoHome wall mount heater we purchased is OK. We went through the 2019 winter heating season and were finally happy when our 4th unit finally (or so I thought) operated without an obnoxious odor. We recently turned it on and the obnoxious chemical-type odor has returned. Even without it on, before we started it up this year, the unit started to smell. So - we got one year out of it and have decided enough!! We have taken our 4th replacement unit off our bedroom wall. I cannot recommend this unit to anyone. VERY disappointed. (See the history of our issues from my original review through to this one.) Since I have to have some rating in order to edit my review, I have given it one star - but the product does NOT deserve any stars. I hope others do not have to go through what we have been through - installing and reinstalling.--------------------------------------------As you can read below, my husband & I have been frustrated with an obnoxious odor from the original unit and the 2nd and 3rd replacement units that were delivered to us. Finally, the company sent us a fourth replacement unit that is working just fine - without odor. We did have to run it for a couple of days and then air out the room - but no odor is detectable now. I must say that Customer Service worked hard to resolve the issue for us. The process was frustrating since we mounted and ran 3 unacceptable units before receiving our current (4th) updated unit. I was ready to call it quits, but happy now that the issue has been resolved. This wallmount unit is unobtrusive, does not take up floor space, low wattage, quiet (has no fan) and works well in our environment.__________________________________________________________________________________________So...OMG...cannot believe I am here writing about this unit again (see my review and updates below). Short of it: I would NOT recommend this unit to anyone! We bought it Oct. 2018. It emitted an obnoxious odor - as explained below. The company was quick to send us another unit that they claimed would NOT smell as bad. We received it quickly only to discover it smelled even worse than the first. Contacted the company and they apologized and said there was a mixup - that the unit we received as a replacement was from the wrong batch and again, would send us another. We received the 3rd unit quickly. We were encouraged that this one might work - but since we were heading into warmer months, we have not been using it. Its now November 2019. We turned it on and ... OMG . . .the smell is just as obnoxious if not not worse than the original 2 units. It is mounted in our bedroom. We turned it on, cracked open the windows and turned on our ceiling fan to push the air and obnoxious odor out of the room. We did this on 3 separate days hoping the smell would dissipate, but the unit still emits an obnoxious odor and I would not feel comfortable breathing it in throughout the night - or at all! Hoping there will be no issue with getting our money back on this since we have gone through the process of mounting 3 units, finding a way to "trash" 2 and now have another to trash?, wasting heat and electricity testing over and over again. The only good thing I can say relates to the Customer Service response thus far...our CS person was very responsive and pleasant with each problem unit we have received. Customer service worked hard to resolve the odor issue and i'm_____________________________________I have updated the overall rating stars from 1 to 3 due to the company's efforts to quickly resolve the odor issue noted below. If the odor goes away with the new replacement unit, I will update the overall rating further. I did ask the manufacturer if they could explain what the odor is. The response was: "Our heaters are ETL & IEC approved. UL 2021 & RoHS compliant and we also have some certifications of test agencies." Unfortunately, I have no idea what this means or how it relates to the odor.----------------------------------------------I am updating my review noted below. My husband emailed the company regarding the unacceptable odor. They responded very quickly, sent us a new unit and stated that there were issues with odor in some older units. We have installed the replacement. There is a mild odor (much less than the first unit) which we were told should dissipate after a couple of days use. We appreciate the quick turn-around and hope that indeed the odor will go away shortly.----------------------------------------------------------------Unfortunately I cannot provide a positive review for this heater because of the obnoxious odor it emits. We purchased it in early October 2018 and have been through one winter with it. Although the actual heat it added to our bedroom was satisfactory and the clean modern appearance is lovely in a fairly small room with little floor space, I am VERY concerned about the odor. We ran the unit all winter (2018) and the smell has not gone away. In fact, it is now June 2019 and the unit is shut off. Even with the unit off, it is still emitting a foul odor. The product operating instructions states exactly the following: "The product may exhibit a mild smell due to surface moisture during initial period of consistent operation. Please Keep in mind that this is normal and your heating panel has no detectable VOCs and compliant with required safety standards." If we cannot find resolution, we will soon remove it from our wall.

This heater has worked great for us so far! It's the first time we've had a ceramic "radiant" heater and I think it's great. We have it in a small bedroom and as long as you plan ahead a bit, it warms the room nicely. My wife and I also do yoga in there, so I thought of the idea of plugging it into a smart outlet so we could schedule it to come on about an hour before we wake up; that has worked very well! We haven't used it in colder weather yet, but I expect it to take the chill off the room and keep it comfortable, as an addition to regularly heating the house. The one knock on it so far has been the odor that it puts off. I would have thought it would have worn off after a few uses, but it has not after at least a couple dozen. We often burn a scented candle in there (yoga) and when the room is used as a guest room or an office, the odor is not overpowering and you get used to it pretty quickly. I'm hopeful that it will eventually go away entirely.

Recientemente lo adquirimos para calentar nuestro cuarto de baño, fácil instalación y aunque tarda en alcanzar su máxima temperatura, el calefactor funciona bien, es totalmente silencioso.

LO TENGO CONECTADO DESDE HACE MESES Y SE ENCIENDE SOLO CUANDO EL SENSOR DE TEMPERATURA BAJA A LOS GRADOS EN QUE LO TENGO ACTIVADO. MUY BUEN PRODUCTO. COMPRARE OTRO PARA EL SIGUIENTE INVIERNO.

I read previous reviews and knew about the smell before we bought it. It smells bad right out of the box so we took it outside and plugged it in and ran it so that it wouldn't smell up the house. We have done this 2 days in a row and there is still a smell when we turn it on but it is much less than it was on day one. Having said that we are returning it due to the odour that it emits. My husband has lung issues and we just don't feel that it would be good for him given the small space it is in.

Esta muy moderno el producto y funciona muy bien

Tiene un olor muy fuerte a químico y dice que caliente hasta 120 m2 cuando la verdad si calienta 1/6 parte de eso es mucho yo lo devolvería pero tire la caja.. la verdad no cumple con lo que ofrecen.
