These are effective if you have LOTS of time to heat up a room. They're pretty cost-efficient but the price you pay is you may have to wait at least an hour before you feel their effect. I bought some timers so I can heat up rooms in advance. But I have to say, when I turn these on in the morning, by the time the room feels warm it's already warm outside.

When you pay that much for a room heater you expect it to last for a while then the second tie you use it doesn’t even work at all. I only had it for six weeks. I was told to return it to Kohls which I did the next day. Then they charged me $49.95 return fee . Which I never was told until they my return was completed. The heater still looked perfect and new when I gave it to the lady at Kohls. I am very upset and disappointed in Amazon for the first time and I have been with Amazon for over 15 years. I have never written a bad review until now. This is a bunch of bs. And I can’t do nothing about it. 3 year warranty is not true I was told to check outlet and circuit breakerI said I did and ever heard back from there award winning service dept.

I have 3 in my home, including vaulted ceilings in the living room and an open loft. These heat my entire home easily and at half the wattage of my old baseboard heaters that I no longer use at all (they were completely inefficient and mostly useless). I have them placed in areas with lower ceilings - I get the impression that it helps circulate the heat better than if they were in the living room below the vaulted ceiling. I also like that these are completely silent and can run 24/7. The customer service is pretty pretty good, too.

I purchased the first one of these for my adult son's room a few weeks ago. Being a bit skeptical this unit would heat his room after installing it, I was truly impressed with the performance. I just installed our second one in my bedroom tonight (10/28/24).My home was built 50 years ago and the heating system we have is a 50 year old ceiling radiant system, the worst system anyone could ever have. Living in the the northeast, I've been paying well over $1000 per month during the winter (there is no furnace in this house). Our electricity has been skyrocketing ever since 2019 and, although I've beefed the insulation of the walls and roof well past the recommended R-level, I'm still fighting outrageous electric bills.After calculating what these Envi heaters are capable of, if I install one in the spare bedroom, one in the front hall and one in my home office, my heating bill should drop enough to pay off every one of these in under six months! Cannot ask for a better return on an investment! An outstanding product made with American know-how.

The ENVI heater is very well designed. We have older farm house that can be hard to heat. After installing this heater in the hallway up stairs. It warm up the entire upstairs it does not use much hydro to run.

Installation: 1 STARIt did not take 2 mins as stated. More like an hour and a half of hair pulling because the included hole template was off by a few quarters of an inch. It was late in the night and I didn't want to run back downstairs to get my measuring tools, so I kept drilling holes a little to the side and hope for the best (btw, no DRILL required?!, do they expect you to punch a hole with a pen?). After 2 more holes, I finally got it to hang. But it still wouldn't turn on, because the questionable safety switch on the back wouldn't engage, so another hair pulling moment thinking I got a dud with 4 holes in the wall now. I ended up sticking my finger in where the safety switch is and manually engage it while it is plugged in. So much for safety... It did turn on and I was somewhat relieved that so far I don't have to start a return. I hung it again and it still wouldn't turn on. In a fit of frustration, I banged it (hard) down on the side of the unit where the switch is and I heard it clicked. It finally turned on. Yay! As for my claim of the safety switch being questionable, its function is in case the unit ever falls off the wall, the switch will disengage and cut power to the unit. But the way I see it, if the unit does ever fall off the wall, it will most likely take the little plastic wall clip (used to engage the switch) with it, still lodged inside and engaging the safety switch, keeping the unit continuing running while laying on the floor. Luckily, mine is wedged in there super tight now. If it's coming off, it's going to have to take the whole wall with it!Function/Style: 4.5 STARSThere are a lot of bad reviews because of people receiving dud units. But I have a feeling most of those issues are due to the safety switch not engaging correctly after installation rather than an actual dud unit. After the installation woes, I do find it works rather quite well. As long as you have the proper expectations. IT WILL NOT REPLACE YOUR MAIN HEATING SYSTEM!!! It does supplement it quite nicely. For my situation, I have a room at the NE corner of an old house (with probably little or no insulation), that my forced hot air can't heat up adequately without toasting the other rooms and wasting an enormous amount of gas. I strategically installed the unit on an inside wall where it can do its convection magic most efficiently. But in reality, it was the only convenient location with an outlet. Obviously, do not install in a convenient location that is under a window or on an outside wall. Leaving it on with the thermostat a little less than half way, it keeps my room at 70-71F (no change in my forced air's thermostat, remember it has to work together with your main heating system), which is what I want. Previously, without it, the room would go down to the mid lower 60's while the furnace is still running. At this setting I can hear it cycle on/off with a click (which is the only sound that comes out of this thing) every now and again, so I know it is not inefficiently continuously running. Previously, this room is the coldest in the house at night, but now it's about even, if not more at times, with the other rooms. This unit replaced my oil filled radiator on wheels, which also works great, until a toddler wants to touch it. The Envi Heater looks stylish and hidden at the same time and is somewhat safe to touch. It won't burn you instantly and causing you to jerk back your hand like a heated oil filled radiator, but you will feel it is warm and giving you ample time to slowly remove your hand away from the Envi. The Envi will burn you if you leave your hand at the top for more than ten seconds. Surely, ten seconds is enough for anyone's brain to process the situation and react in a calmly manner. Function and style is worth 5 stars!Then why do I only give it 4.5 stars?That god awful smell during the break in period is why. The instructions do say, it is best to run it on max for the first 24-48 hours or something to help it burn off whatever manufacturing byproduct left on the heating elements. My thought was, why couldn't they "pre-season" this before putting it in a box?! Why let the customer go through this questionably toxic olfactory sensation? In its defense, I only had to run it on max for about 2-3 hours before shutting it off and calling it a night of hair pulling installations. The smell persisted over night and into the next day, but was gone by the end of the day when I turned it back on.The only thing I wish they add would be another indicator light for when the heating element is on or not. There is one for whether the whole unit is on or not, but not for when the actual heat is on or not. It would've been useful in helping me determine the optimal setting to turn the thermostat knob, for instance, if I feel comfortable and I see it coming on, I would turn it a nudge so it will turn off or I feel it is getting cold and it is still not turning on, i would turn it until it comes on. This process will eventually pinpoint the exact position the knob needs to be for my preference.Also, I had the Envi plugged into a Kasa Smart Outlet, so I can use my existing setup to turn on/off the unit remotely. Saves me some money in not buying the "Smart" version and adding yet another single use app to my devices. My whole house is already "Kasa'fied", so it was a no-brainer. If you go this route, make sure the smart outlet can handle the required 8.x amps of the Envi.In conclusion, it does what I want it to do and I hope it lasts. It is not cheap, and you can probably get a cheaper "Built in Not-In-The-USA" one. I hope my initial extra investment will last a while and won't lead me to another investment to replace the initial one.

Didn't work from the start. Installed as per instructions, plugged tin and nothing. Big disappointment, save your time and money.As for the Seller, A+, returned for a full refund, no hassles.

We have an older home, and the living room has always felt cold. After new windows and reducing the size of some of them, as in this photo, it still felt cold when being still. So we tried the EnviMax heater. It has solved the problem! The warmth it generates is comforting, not just comfortable. We've been using it for the past two months during the Fall months when moderate temperatures affect the effectiveness of the furnace. We turn it on in the evening and within a few minutes the room is comfortable. We do use ceiling fans to assist. We expect it to be just as effective in the winter months. As you can see, the dogs have their bed beside the heater and there is no issue with the unit getting hot or causing the dogs to be uncomfortable. Installation was a bit of a challenge due to the age of the house and height of the woodwork, but overall quite easy. Our electrical outlets are to the left of the unit while the unit cord comes out the right side. The cord is long and we could tuck some of it back into the unit. And while you cannot see it in this photo, a chair hides most of that from site. I"m not even sure it would be that noticeable anyway. The unit itself is very understated. We are VERY pleased!

The Envi 1000W is managing to keep a 300 sq ft room warm as long as we keep the doors to the room closed and that's saying something as this room has 11 foot high ceilings. The Envi keeps the room about 20-21 C or 68-70 F, it would probably do better if we had the window casings finished in that room which would seal off more air flow, but that's in progress. This heater has replaced 2 -1200 watt baseboard heaters, we are happy with the performance and we are saving money so good value all the way around.

Wall heater works great. Easy to install, looks to be safe and produces the heat required. I purchased the 1000W model and it is doing the job, I used to have a portable heater that I placed on my counter in my washroom. I dont need it any more....so more counter space, no noise from a blowing fan and warmth.The room is about 14x12 feet. has not central heating, just a small base board heater in one corner. With this unit now the room is the temperature I want it to be.

Heater works very well and is not very noisy at all
