   I’ve had the older version of this heater in my daughter’s bedroom for a while. Her room is far from our HVAC system and has 3 exterior walls and so is always the coldest in our house, this allows her to sleep comfortably and we can keep the rest of the house cooler. I really like this design for kids areas as it’s silent, wall mounted (stays out of the way, doesn’t get moved, knocked over, buried under stuffed animals, etc.) and the exterior never gets hot enough to cause burns.

   This new “smart” model adds some neat/nice to have features and a few really great ones. A digital thermostat means you can open the box, set it for your desired temperature and basically be done where the simpler mechanical thermostat took a bit of trial and error to find the right settings. Being able to “lock” the controls is a nice feature for a young child’s room as well. The most important for me however was the addition of your standard “smart thermostat” modes such as timer and schedule. The ability to program a schedule for the heater to follow on the app is the most valuable for me. Previously we would forget to turn the heater on before bed or forget to turn it off on the morning, now it automatically heats the room to 70 every night at 8:30 and then drops to a set point of 60 every morning at 8am, (since the room never gets that cold it is as good as off) we’ve barely touched the thing since setting it up, it just silently does its job automatically. There is a basic older style schedule you can program without using the app or being connected at all, but the app is so much easier and versatile for scheduling I would use that. The app also gives you access to some of the nice features like full control over the color and brightness of the RGB nightlight which can illuminate the ground beneath the heater and the “geofence” mode which changes the thermostat based on whether you are near home or not.

   The install is very easy with the packaging doubling as a wall template to show where to put the mounting holes and the included drywall anchors being exactly what I’d want to use. However, I didn’t actually even have to do the install as this heater uses the same mounting as my older model, so I just took the old one off the wall, put this on, and was ready to run in <1 minute. Downloading the app, creating an account, and pairing the heater so that I could control it and program a schedule from my phone might have taken 5-10 minutes more, getting this thing connected was far easier than most IOT hardware I've used in the past, no fishing with turning Wi-Fi on, then off, then on again, just clicked the "add" button, typed in my wi-fi info, and named my heater. i spent more time with my daughter picking out the perfect shade of purple for the nightlight than I did setting everything up.

   This is a great product. It is really easy to install. They give you a cardboard template that you sit on the ground and it shows you exactly where to drill the holes.

   I have an older cape cod. I use some electric oil heaters to help heat some cooler rooms in the winter. They take up a lot of space, you have to store them in the summer, and they blow the circuit if I have more than one on. These take up no space, they are really slim against the wall. The give off more than enough heat for a small room. I can even control it remotely through an app.

   I am going to buy another one for a different room.
