Heats up quickly! Also be careful with animals.

I bought this because I love its aesthetic and needed a small, quiet heater that can be moved around the house. Assembly is very easy with wheels. (Be sure to read the instructions, you'll void your warranty if you don't clean it before turning it on.) There are all sorts of warnings in the manual about watching children around. Having seen how hot the device gets, I would suggest the same precautions with animals. It would be very easy for an inquisitive pet to get fairly significant burns on their nose and/or paws. Both the back and front heat up, the back is stronger and faster. For the initial setup I had to use the touchscreen on the heater, although the instructions imply you can use the remote control. The heating menu is intuitive but could be better. I think once you get the hang of it it will be easier but then the problem is how long after heating can you use the heater touch screen? While the touchscreen appears somewhat isolated, the front of the heater is a solid sheet of glass. I didn't get very far because the included remote didn't work even after changing the battery and I felt it. it would be unsafe to use it without it. Also, I can't upload a picture of the top of the unit to show how the heater works, but it's basically a metal back with vertical vents. I have to agree with other reviews that it probably wouldn't be safe for wall mounting as there is no insulation between the heater and the wall other than the metal wall mounting brackets.

Pros
  • THE BEST WAY TO KEEP WARM: Modern design is slim, elegant and thinner than traditional chunky heaters. Instead of exposed buttons, the display is illuminated by reassuring, easy-to-read LEDs.
Cons
  • Weak Set
