Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Stiebel Eltron CKT 15E 120-Volt 1500-Watt Wall Mounted Electric Fan Heater with 60 Min Boost Timer: Efficient Warmth at the Touch of a Button by Andre Belitz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Functional and elegant

Works great. If you need faster warm-up (e.g. after a quick shower), get the CK 20E model. It gives you 500W more, but consumes a mains voltage of 220V. There is no need for a timer that temporarily turns off the built-in thermostat (if you still need a timer, get the CKT 20E model). I connected mine via a selectable wall mounted countdown timer - be sure to get a 1HP timer like the Leviton LTB60-1LZ. I was tempted to give the heater four stars because of the poor placement of the power cord. Knockout - closer to the top. You see it when you look down. Even if you make another cut down, the unpainted recessed top is still visible. And you can see further down because there are four small spacers on the back of the stove to keep cool air between it and the wall. However, I found an EEE (elegant, simple, economic) solution: Take a 1-1/4" wide white door brush and cut two 12" pieces with scissors. One mounts vertically behind the top of the stove, the other horizontally on the wall. The second you can cut to 1 inch width or just bend - cold air still enters through the bottom and sides.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Not everything fits
