Installation and Commissioning:
Unwrapped, screwed the two roller trolleys in a few moments, and put into operation. In the first few hours the machine is a smell of what is mentioned in the instruction manual so that then, however, disappears quickly.
TIP: I have all of my equipment "Eingeheizt" slow at the first time. Ie first thermostat turned all the way up (continuous operation) at level 1, then used then 30 minutes 30 minutes at level 2 and only after that the stage 3. So the Heizpanel could slow to heat stress "used" and expand. Possibly brings the advantages of longevity - I do not know, but my equipment running, unlike those of some other customers for many years in continuous operation without hesitation through.
Operation:
The unit can be operated via a rotary switch with 3 power levels. It's really impressive how much large heat releases the device at 1500 watts (the highest of the 3 stages). This is reminiscent of an open fire or completely tiled stove. But even with lower benefits, the device delivers good sensible heat. The heat penetrates immediately the clothes - also similar soil and obvious sofas quickly warm. Even my cats have to be equal before the unit and really enjoyed the warmth! Most of the heat is transferred to the front, but also a share of an estimated 20% rise straight up. Very interesting is the fact that the device on the back emits almost no heat!
The device itself is incredibly light for its size. The panel heating element inside is only 4 mm thick. It works absolutely silent, apart from slight cracking noises when changing power levels, which comes through the thermal expansion of the materials into existence, and is actually considered me as normal. Do not bother me anyway. If the appliance should tip over accidentally during operation (eg pets), which is not too bad: A sensor inside the unit switches off immediately when it is approximately horizontal. So you go out of the house calmed. One can attach the device to the wall by means of an accompanying holder and plugs / screws.
Conclusion:
The purchase was really worth it. I am impressed by the flexibility / mobility due to the low weight. The price was absolutely fine. The device from the bed or put the TV chair, and you experience a movie night with cozy warmth!
Even after now 1 year equipment please me still. Experience has shown that it is better to operate 2 devices in 1 room with less power than 1 alone, because the heat is thus distributed more comfortable in the room. Anyone planning these devices as the sole heating, definitely need 2 pieces, since the 2 x 1,500 W total power is then sufficient for extreme temperatures up to -22 ° C. Last year there was with us a few days / nights when it was actually so cold. I have the devices in the living room and are beheize thus more or less the entire 60 square meter apartment (because the doors are open to all). In my (old) I need roughly 7 per ° C temperature difference 500 watts of heat to the room to 20 ° C hold.
2014: Even after 6 years of continuous use has abandoned me yet none of my equipment! I have now 4 piece of it and am still very happy.
