The Rowenta heaters Instant Comfort Aqua SO 6510 it a heater with splash guard according to standard IP21. That's just a little protection and so I would not put it near the shower or bathtub. Here I get in stage 1 already 1200 watt power and he is very quiet. This is ideal if I'm taking a bath and relax. And when he returns must be 2400 watts properly heat and heats even large rooms on. And in the summer of its cooling stage is useful as a replacement fan. The only thing I do not like so much that there is no cable rewind. This would be on the back place for it. The Thermotat responds quickly, the room does not cool down so much until he turns back and so I forgive warm 5 star.
