Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The panel heater puts out a gentle and quiet heat. I measured the power draw with a digital watt meter reading 930 watts on low and 1735 on the high setting. Using an IR camera I found that on the low setting only the top half of the panel was in use. When switched to high both the top and bottom heat up. The power switch feels good under the hand with positive clicks for off, low, and high. There is a thermostat which will cycle the heat on and off as needed. In my 75 degree room the panel came on at about the 1.5 setting on a scale of 6. The legs and wheels have to be connected to the bottom with some screw-on thumb screws which are provided. For the first ten to twenty minutes there was a slight odor from the unit as it burned off the factory coating. Four hours later and I can detect no further odor. Using a laser thermometer I measure 270 to 350 degrees across the front of the panel though the safety grating. I tipped the panel to confirm that the tip-over safety switch did function as expected. This is a big well built unit and seems like it's going to last for me. I'm using it under a desk to warm my legs and from a couple of feet away the heat is nice and gentle.
