This unit heats my 185 square foot area with ease, and its remote is easy to use. I like that it has a 'fan' setting as well as 'cool' and 'eco'. It comes on when it's needed, and then turns off. Acceptable re noise level, and I very much like that its fins are translucent, letting in additional light. I may need to use a heavier set of fins for winter, but for now, it's perfect
