The Rowenta SO 9070 Excel 2000 ceramic heater is used as a replacement of a fan heater Einhell has after the warranty period given up the ghost or the service. At first I was a bit disappointed by the size of the Rowenta fan heater, but wrongly as it turned out after the first use. The heat output is very good, the noise is not high. With the thermostat this device is safe to be classified among the "greats". Value for money in my opinion, great! I can only recommend.
