EconoHome Wall Mount Space Heater Panel - with Thermostat - 250 Watt Splashproof Convection Heater - Ideal for 100 Sq Ft Room or Bathroom - 120V Electric Heater - Updated Model

Fairly easy to install using the template that comes with it.Just try to use a drill that has a built in level or drill guide if possible. If the angle of the screws at isn’t practically perfect, it’s going to make hanging this a little… weird.It’s made of some sort of ceramic or something and uneven pressure on the corner holes could result in cracks (so says the instructions) and void the warranty.That said, my mounting screws were the tiniest bit off, but thankfully not bad enough to need to redrill. Two of the screws went into drywall-only and used the plastic drywall screw stabilizer mounts - those screws have more “give” than the screws mounted directly into the studs, so were able to flex the *fraction* of an inch needed. (If mounting all four into wood or masonry; make sure they’re as perfectly strait as possible. Or hire a pro.)🌡️As far as function: My old space heater was a small, forced air unit. This is a surprising improvement! The temperature in the room is MUCH more stable now; no big hot spikes, or cold dips. This also doesn’t dry out the already dry winter air as much either. The sensor in the thermostat plug that came with it seems to function reliably too.My previous “smart” heater frequently “glitched out” and either failed to kick on, or failed to automatically shut off and just pumped heat for hours. (Nothing like waking up in a 93° bedroom at 4am.)✨This wall heater has been SO much more reliable. The thermostat plug isn’t very pretty. Lol. But I’ll take function over form here. 😊**Set up tip: I suggest a separate thermometer in the room. Adjust the dial on the thermostat plug to your best guess, then check the temp on the room thermometer in a few hours. Turn the dial up or down as needed, and check back later. Repeat until the reading from your room thermometer hits your goal temp.Then… basically forget it. Unless there’s a massive drop in the outdoor temps, it’s most likely going to keep your room right where you want it.**Another tip: This heater relies on airflow to work properly. I have mine in a small, 90sq. ft. bedroom with a 7.5” tall ceiling. There’s a bed in the center of the room, and a window on the wall opposite from the heater. I keep the area under the bed clear so air can circulate more efficiently.Smell: SOME heaters like this have reportedly had “a smell.” This had a very faint, “new” smell, but nothing I found disruptive, and that faded within probably 24-48 hours. I have a pretty sensitive nose too.IF there’s a disruptive smell on yours, my guess would be that something got spilled on it and seeped into the box during shipping. This heater should NOT stink or make you sick.⚠️Safety tip: Hot/burning plastic-y smell would most likely mean a faulty electrical socket or you’re using an extension cord or thermostat plug not rated correctly for the heater! They DO NOT recommend using an extension cord. UNPLUG it immediately.(Mine is plugged into the provided thermostat plug, then directly into a 20amp, GFCI protected socket on a 20amp circuit. However, afaik, the standard 15amp should be fine as long as you don’t overload the circuit with other “big draw” devices. *See photo - shows difference between 15 & 20amp sockets.)

The EconoHome Wall Mount Space Heater Panel has been a fantastic addition to my garage, where I work on projects year-round. It efficiently heats up my garage (~250 sq. ft) and keeps it warm, and i am pretty sure it will continue to do so even during cold winter months.Why it's perfect:Quiet Operation: It’s completely silent. Even when it’s warming up or cooling down, there’s absolutely no noise, making it ideal for a garage workspace where you need to focus without distraction.Powerful and Efficient Heating: Don’t be fooled by its size or 250-watt power rating—this heater packs a punch! It comfortably heats the space, and I can feel the warmth from as far as 8 feet away. The convection design spreads heat evenly without needing a fan, which is great for larger garages when combined with a ceiling fan to better circulate the air.Energy-Saving Performance: Since garages can be tough to heat without spiking your energy bills, I was pleasantly surprised by how energy-efficient this heater is. I can leave it running for long periods without worrying about high costs, which is a huge win during colder months when I spend hours working on projects.Accurate Thermostat Control: The included thermostat is very responsive, quickly adjusting to keep the garage at a comfortable temperature. Once the space is warm enough, the thermostat automatically shuts the unit off, preventing overheating and keeping energy consumption low.Durable and Customizable Design: The sleek white panel looks clean and unobtrusive on my garage wall. The provided template made it easy to mount correctly, and I appreciated the reflective foil panel that protects the wall behind the unit.Splashproof and Safe: Even in a garage where there’s a chance of spills or dust, this heater holds up well. Its splashproof design gives me peace of mind knowing it’s safe in a more rugged environment like a garage.Installation Tips for Garages:Secure Mounting: I recommend using stronger drywall anchors or metal mounts to make sure the heater is secure on the wall, especially if your garage experiences any vibrations from nearby equipment.Placement: Be mindful of where you place the heater. Keep it away from shelves, tools, or any clutter that could block the heat flow. Also, if you store items above it, ensure they don’t overheat from the rising warmth.

I took one star off for the amount of time the heater takes to fully warm up. It makes sense, the large ceramic surface needs to heat up before it can start fully warming a space up. Depending on your situation that may or not work well for you.Here is an example of what I mean: I have the thermostat set to 65, when the interior temperature drops to around 64 the heater kicks on -- which is expected. However, because of the large surface area of the heater, the interior temperature continues to drop. It got all the way down to 62 before it stopped dropping, and started to warm back up.Everything else is spot on with this heater. It's basically silent and warms well once it's up to temp. I had no issues with the smell as others have, your mileage may vary based on other reviews. Overall, I'm happy with it and don't regret the purchase. Anyone considering this purchase should be aware of this slight consideration.

After setting this up and allowing it to warm up for a little over an hour there was a strong unpleasant odor. It did not heat the area well.

Love these! Paintded to match the walls. Blend right in and give off just the right amount of warmth. Not too hot to the touch!
