(More customer reviews)My house has a number of Cadet in-wall heaters that would keep the place warm but were annoying in the noise they made. I wanted something quieter and that also provided more even heating. I went with an oil-filled plug-in radiator and replaced one of the Cadet's with this Quellet hybrid heater in the living room. It has been absolutely great. Even though this is mostly marketed as a bathroom heater, it has worked really well in the living room. The stand-alone oil-filled radiator does much of the work, and the Quellet picks up the slack. The Quellet has a forced-air mode which usually only runs when the room is cold and initially heating up. The rest of the time it runs in the convection mode, completely silently and producing quite a bit of heat output as needed. There are 4 levels of heat output and the entire system is controlled by an excellent builtin thermostat that keeps the room at whatever temperature is set. You don't notice the room getting hot then cooling off. It maintains a very even temperature. I noticed a huge improvement in room temperature control once I installed the Quellet. The temperature in the living room is very constant and, in conjunction with the oil-filled radiator, I have silent heating (after initial heating when the fan runs.)
The heater can be installed in-wall, like the Cadet, or can be mounted on the surface of the wall, as mine is. If mounted on the wall, it extends about 4 inches out, which works fine for me. An optional sleave is available when mounting the unit on the wall, which I would recommend for asthetics.
In summary, I am completely pleased with the high quality and performance of this unit. Quellet also makes other wall-mount convection-only heaters specifically desgned for use in quiet environments. Based on the quality and performance of this unit, I would consider the other offerings too.
This unit is a bit spendy, to say the least, but if you can spring for it, it's worth it.
My only wish is that the unit included a timer system to automatically turn the unit on and off at specified times.
