EconoHome Wall Mount Smart Space Heater Panel, WiFi Thermostat, Glass Heat Guard Cover, 400W Convection Heater, For 120 Sqft Room, 120V

I installed this in my daughter’s small bathroom. Replaced a loud, ugly, built-in forced-air wall heater with a yellowed plastic cover from the ‘70s. This new heater does a great job heating this small room. Would probably work in larger spaces. I didn’t get a plug-in thermostat, I just use the eWeLink app to set an on/off schedule. Installing the app definitely gave me the vibe I was sharing all my personal info with China... but I’m pretty sure they’ve already got it. I bought the version with the glass heat guard. Feels nice and warm to the touch but won’t burn my kiddo if she puts a hand on it. I think it looks really nice too. The pictures don’t really do it justice. Now to the two big items: 1. The smell. Yep. It’s awful. I actually left it out of the box on my back porch for over two months (I was gutting and redoing the entire bathroom and got busy with my day job so my project was delayed)... got ready to install and it the smell was STILL strong. The fix? I put it in my garage and plugged it in. Ran it for two days (turned it off at night). The smell is gone. No issues whatsoever. I feel bad for the folks that hung it on a wall and ran it immediately. It would definitely be overpowering. Do yourself a favor, unpack it outside and then plug it in outside, in a garage/shed, etc. Let it run. Grab a beer. Drink in moderation for a couple of days and when you come back it’ll be right as rain. 2. Customer Service. I’m blown away. EconoHome Inc shocked me with quick and fantastic customer service. As mentioned above, I unpackaged the heater and let us sit for a several months... so it was only when I went to install that I realized I was missing the plastic brackets that hold the glass heat guard in place. I’m 99% sure that I tossed them out with the packaging. I didn’t have much luck getting the company on the phone, but Amazon got me an email address and EconoHome was super-fast with their response. Even though I let them know I probably tossed the parts, they sent me a new set free of charge. Even sent me a follow-up email after the parts arrived to make sure I was good. Blown-away. A couple of other wall heaters in my home need to be replaced and I’ll definitely go with these convection heaters and will definitely buy from EconoHome.

9 month follow up. This thing STILL stinks. It’s now on its 2nd coat of paint after 1 coat of primer and I cannot contain whatever odor the substrate emanates. *3 month follow up. Even after running this thing for 2 days outside, let it dry. Painted it, ram it outside for. 3rd day, months later it still stinks. Do not buy this. For starters, the good seems to be that the overall panel gets surprisingly warm for a claimed 400W heater. I put it in my garage to run for awhile given the reports of the smell it generated. It's about 40*F out there and it's warm/hot to the touch even "outside" in the garage. I'll update this review with how well it holds up the cold rooms in the house upstairs and far from the furnace. There is a major gripe though. This seems like a typical Chinese made, poorly designed and low effort IoT type thing where they spent more time making the Amazon website graphics than thinking how customers would want the smart app integration to work. For starters, there is no pairing instructions in the box, so you just hope you know where to get the app or Google it. Then, the app is a very low ~2.5-3.0 star review so you know it's low effort. Pairing took awhile after I guessed which of the ~5 presented pairing options to use. Once it paired though, I was frustrated to see the mobile app integration is literally a dumb on/off switch. I think a reasonable person would assume that a heater sold in 2020 with "wifi/mobile app capability" had on/off, schedule, timer, and a thermostat capability. If you want to be able to set a thermostat, you might as well buy their (also janky and low rated) wifi thermostat plug, that uses the same janky ewelink Chinese app, that lets you set a temperature/schedule etc. Why they make a heater with "wifi" built in but then a separate plug you could just use with their cheapest non-wifi heating panel and get more functionality makes no sense. It seems like the Amazon page listing is intentionally vague about this not being a feature. I am sort of regretting this purchase, and may need to see if I can find a more American made/designed panel that includes a thermostat so I don't have to babysit if these get left on in my kids rooms.

The Good: it's silent, works as expected, looks decent, with a thermostat (not this one) you can make a room that's normally cold feel very normal and not know it was ever cooler then other parts of the home. The Bad: Very strong stinky feet smell out of the box. The smell gets very strong once it heats up. I'd suggest running it outside for a day or two in the wind before mounting. The thermostat it comes with is pure junk. The plug on mine stopped working within a week. Lastly, the plastic clips that hold the glass don't fit as snug as one would hope. It holds the glass, but it's certainly not very tight. LUX makes a programmable thermostat that is a great product. It doesn't have app control but it works like a charm. In conclusion it does what I need and I still recommend it in the end. It does have plenty of room for improvement. All the little things add up though.

The toxic smell is terrible and I believe it could be bad for your health but after three days it dissipated in no longer smells. I didn’t have to paint it or anything to get the smell to go away it just disappeared on its own after leaving it on all day for three days. The Wi-Fi feature seems worthless to me because all you can do is turn it on and off. I thought it would show me the temperature but it doesn’t. I have to use it in combination with a floor standing space heater to get my large bedroom to 68 degrees. It is sleek looking and discreet but don’t pay extra for the Wi-Fi and if you have a large bedroom you’ll have to get two of them.
