I love the look and function of this. I was not expecting it to be very high quality, but it is so sleek and well built. I did not install it in the wall, but the low profile makes it feel built-in. It is so quiet, even on the heater mode. The heat output is very nice for my studio space which is only 200 s.f. but mostly windows and vaulted ceiling so heat retention has been a problem in the past. This unit heats the space up quickly and maintains a cozy heat level. Love the "glass pebbles" which are actually plastic, but look really pretty.
