ECO Heater T400U Wall Mounted Ceramic Convection Heater with Digital Thermostat



Built-in Thermostat is not remotely accurate.
Great concept, however the biggest flaw is the thermostat. The unit itself comes packaged well and is very easy to install. They even include a drill bit for the correct size holes needed for the wall anchors. I have this installed exactly as instructed in our baby's room. We wanted to keep the temperature in the room at exactly 74 degrees. The heater's thermostat is not accurate to even 2 degrees. Best bet is to get the non-digital thermostat version and buy the Lux wall plug thermostat.

Takes the Chill out
Very easy to install and does a very good job to turrn a normally cold room into one that is very comfortable. The only downside is the thermometer. It seems to do the job of getting hotter as the number goes up, but the actual use of it to serve as a thermostat for the room is not so great. I might consider an external thermostat for my next version instead of it being built in. Overall, a good heating solution for a small to medium sized room.

Easy installation and good end results - luckily
This is a very elegant heater for small spaces. It's a nice matt white finish out of the box, and the textured ceramic finish is paintable. I bought this to replace the TERRIBLE Envi 220V heater a customer had me install (malfunctioned, right out of the box; customer service wouldn't accept the return without the box, nor pay return shipping in any case). The finish appearance, installation process, and the fact that the thing worked, were all refreshing improvements over the Envi heater. I was able to convert my 220V hard-wired connection to a shallow-wiremold surface mount 120V duplex receptacle on a 15A GFCI circuit breaker. At only 400W, there's no need for 220V for this type of heater, anyway. Now, the customer gets an extra GFCI receptacle socket so they could shave and use a hair dryer at the same time, if they wanted!

The installation in wall-board or flat masonry walls was very straightforward using the supplied integrated-standoff-and-wall-anchor device...
