Living in an area where winter can last through spring and begin in fall, a good heater is essential. This one has to be my very favorite by far. Rather than directed heat it is spaced out in a long thin line. When turned on it is putting out heat within seconds. I prefer the stand alone option but having it on the wall would work great if you need one area to stay warm. I really love the option it has to keep things like pipes from freezing with a setting. That way in areas that get colder you can avoid any broken pipes but also you don't need to go shut it off or turn it on manually.  The whole thing is sleek and feels well made. I am really pleased with the overall quality and functionality. The vents on top really help put the heat into the entire room rather than directed at one person and having the potential to melt objects.
