Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The Envi wall heater has been a great addition to our home. We put our first Envi heater in a room that stays colder than the rest of our home in the winter, and it has helped to keep the room comfortable. Compared with a space heater, the Envi wall heater does not take away any space in the room since it mounts on the wall and is thin. Also, it runs silently--all the heat with none of the sound! Having no moving parts means there is no filter to clean, and from what I can tell, the way it is designed seems to be as energy efficient as possible for an electric heater. And the design is attractive--not something I feel like needs to be hidden in a nice home. Attached is a photo of our newly installed heater from Amazon along with a video showing me unboxing and installing the heater. Since this was my second Envi heater to install, I felt confident with making a video from start to finish. When I installed the first heater, I thought there was a bit of marketing hype to claim that it "installs in minutes." When I went to install my first heater, I gathered the normal tools…a level, tape measure, drill, screwdriver, etc. But then I was pleasantly surprised to find that the box insert doubles as an installation template that rests against the wall and floor. That means NO level and NO tape measure is required. Also, the drywall in that room was only a few years old, and the included drywall anchors went right into the wall like butter with a cordless screwdriver…NO pre-drilling needed. It was really fast and easy to get the two mounting clips into the wall in the perfect position. From there, the heater just hangs on the two mounting clips for a level, flush-to-the wall installation. I'm also a bit of a perfectionist. Having a long power cord dangling from the wall or tied up next to the heater is unsightly. But they thought of everything…any extra power cord length can be pushed back into the cavity where the cord comes out of the heater, which just leaves the exact length needed to reach the power outlet. And the power cord has a right-angle plug, so the cord rests neatly against the wall instead of sticking out from the wall. There are also electrical punch-out holes on the back of the heater for people who want a direct wired heater with no exposed outlet. The only thing I learned while installing this new heater (which you can see in the attached video) is that this heater was installed in an older home, and the drywall is extremely hard compared with my first installation. If I were to install the heater again, I would just pre-drill the two holes before screwing in the wall anchors. Other than that, installation went smoothly with no surprises. The Envi heater draws up air from the floor and outputs a steady stream of silent heat out the top of the heater. The thermostat lets the heater run when needed and automatically turn off when your room is at or above your desired setpoint. The top vent is angled slightly outward, so the wall above and behind the heater stays at a temperature that is still comfortable to touch. And the front of the heater stays even cooler during operation, so I don't worry about a child or pet getting unpleasantly surprised if they touched the heater while it is in operation. It is easy to set and forget! Here's to a more comfortable room!
