My daughter's room is downstairs and it's cold down there in Iowa! No matter how much we turn up the heat, it stays chilly down there and gets too hot upstairs. This was the game changer! The remote is an extra benefit and it warms up her entire room in very little time! The heater is NOT loud even though the amount of heat this things pumps out is insane! The design is sleek and modern and not an eye sore at all. Love how it tells you the current temp in the room. This has drastically changed the temp downstairs for her to be comfortable!
