CADET 13104 EBHA Softheat Permanent Baseboard Heater 240V 1500W White Sand 83" (EBHA1500WS) Review

I needed to replace an existing electric baseboard heater because the open design was simply too dangerous for my babies bedroom. Toys kept winding up in the open top and getting burnt.
The hydronic heater is probably about ten times the cost of a non-hydronic heater, but in my case it was definitely worth it for the following reasons:
- The top is pretty well closed off, it is much less likely objects are going to get inside and burn.
- The temperature of the heating elements is about half that of a non-hydronic heater, which makes me feel much safer.
- Comfort level is far, far, far superior to the non-hydronic heaters. The temperature of the room stays consistent, whereas with the non-hydronic heaters it gets cold within minutes of the heat shutting off. The consistency is due to the fluid chamber holding the heat after the power has shut off.
- It is silent. The standard electric heaters creak and bang when they heat up, which is annoying in any bedroom. This heater is dead quiet. For this reason I want to upgrade the heaters in every bedroom to hydronic.
I'll also point out that my experience buying this from Ace was excellent. The unit they shipped me arrived with a big hole in the box, and the front metal panel was badly scratched and dented. When I contacted customer support, they immediately shipped me a replacement panel with zero hassle. For this reason I'd want to buy from them again even if I found a lower price for the same unit somewhere else.
The only potential negative to this unit is the fact that you can only do the wiring on the left side. Of course as luck would have it, my old unit was wired on the right side so I had to go through the hassle of running wire through the wall to the other end of the unit.

General Information: Cadet's premier hydronic baseboard line is recommended for nurseries and bedrooms, and for people with severe allergies. While Softheat offers everyone a comfortably warm room, it was specifically designed to reduce the effects of indoor allergens, compared to other heating systems. Additional benefits include lower operating and surface temperatures and whisper quiet operation. The Softheat hydronic baseboard uses circulating fluid (80% water and 20% Ethylene Glycol) to provide steady, uniform warmth with longer heat retention and minimal temperature variation. No plumbing necessary! Cadet recommends a wall-mounted thermostat for optimum performance, or you may prefer the convenience of an optional field mount thermostat kit (Left end wiring only). Technical Information: Heater is constructed of 22 gauge steel for durability and powder coated for a quality finish. Baseboard heaters work best when placed under a window and at least 12" from furniture or other objects. Keep at least 12" minimum from objects hanging above (i.e., drapes). Heater may be placed directly on the floor and mounted to the wall. (Left end wiring only). Ordering Information: SOFTHEAT EBHA heaters require a thermostat. For optimum comfort use a Cadet electronic thermostat or a dual diaphragm thermostat

Fahrenheat Radiant Heater - Portable Fan-Forced, Model# MCM1503 Review

I bought this heater about 2 months ago. It worked well for three days, then the top heating coil stopped working.
I contacted the manufacturer and after about three emails which were not answered promptly, they said they would replace it. A month or so later, I received a replacement. I've had the replacement heater for less than a week now and it too is acting up. I had to use the reset button this morning to get it going. While I was waiting for the replacement, I bought a Lasko Ceramic Heater Model 758000 from Amazon.com. I've had it for about a month now and am happy with it. Both the Fahrenheat and the Lasko were about the same price. Both are 1500 watts. The Lasko is a better heater. I cannot recommend the Fahrenheat because it is not reliable.

These are recommended for those with allergies and nurseries for good reason.
Anyone who wants heat without toxic fumes, this is your best bet. The hydronic core means heat is spread over the area of the pipe, so it doesn't burn dust like the cheaper electrics. The only major outgassing is from some rubber cushions between the pipes and the supports, and from some warning stickers. Removing the cushions is not hard if you have a screw driver. I know someone with severe chemical sensitivities who uses these after washing all of it with soap and pressure hose, then after it's dry running it outdoors for a couple hours to get rid of remaining fumes. If you are less sensitive just remove the cushions and keep the windows open the first hour or so.

Wall mount bed/bath 1500W heater Review

Wall mount bed/bath 1500W heater

If you set this heater on high it will give you way too much heat for one bathroom, unless it is a bigger than average bathroom. I initially used it in my bedroom, but again, too much heat, so I now use it on the stair landing, which is open to below and it still manages to warm-up the space without the heat concentrating too much -I don't like warm spaces, I'm just looking the tone-down the cold, and this does the job very nicely... but I've gotten the same results from heaters a lot less expensive than this.
Two things to consider: it is NOT "quiet operation". The fan is actually pretty noisy I can hear it all the way down to the kitchen, when it's on I put on music to drown the fan sound.
Secondly, unless you screw it onto the wall, it will come off just by the fan vibration, and forget trying to use a hairdryer or any other appliance using the extra outlet, the hardware to hold it in place is just too flimsy. Since I don't want it as a permanent fixture, I found my own way to hold it in place (using an outlet cover -this actually works better the hardware provided) but I still put my left hand on it when I turn it on or off to keep it from jumping off the wall.

This is a good radiator. Don't expect too much though. The one I got had a thermostat that worked half of the time. So, I ended up using it at full blast and often having to wake up in the middle of the night to stop it. I guess for the amount of money I paid it wasn't too bad. Probably it's better to pay a bit more and buy one from a store though.

We use these heaters as a source of energy efficient heating for over 4 years now at our inn. They have an adjustable feature that supplies electricity to the silicone filled element to produce heat and then cut off the power when the silicone fluid gets hot. This feature saves energy. We also benefit from only heating those areas we want to keep warm by using zone versus central heat.
We bought them to reduce our usage of the central propane hot air furnace and have saved money by only heating areas needed and reducing propane usage.
They also help keep our yurts comfortable in the winter.

Fahrenheat Electric 5120 BTU Baseboard Heater, Model# FBE15002 Review

Fahrenheat Electric 5120 BTU Baseboard Heater, Model# FBE15002

The heater I got is made in the USA. Hope they continue to make them here onshore, but gladly, mine doesn't have the toxic fumigants embedded in the paint (and other parts) that other heaters have from the shipping container fumigants they apply to the shipping container interiors when they ship from China (to prevent mold and mildew, and insects in the containers, which are sometimes enclosed for months.) Heat really activates these chemical toxins, embedded in the materials. Those toxic vapors take a while to gas-off of a new heater, and I have enough health problems and headaches without them.
I gassed this unit off at 1500W outside for a few hours and used it at 1000 watts indoors without any problems, and I have severe multiple chemical sensitivity.
The heating element in this portable heater is the same size as a 1000-Watt stationary baseboard. On the 1000-WATT setting (low) it gives a steady nice heat and doesn't get the chassis extremely hot on the outside - probably because of the angle at which the heater stands, which maximizes airflow convection. The housing doesn't even get as hot as a 1000-WATT stationary baseboard, which sits vertically against a wall, not at an angle, like this one does.
The "enamel" paint on all heaters is not really a traditional mineral enamel coating, but a modern polyester imitation, sometimes called "powder coat." It is like when they call eating utensils "silverware" which is mostly stainless steel. Heat this "enamel" paint with a torch and it wont blister or crack, it will melt.
This Marley (aka Q-Mark, farenheat) heater has a good price for a good basic product.
The location of the thermostat is much better the location of the thermostat on a radiator-type stand-up oil-filled heater, all of which are now made offshore as far as I have seen in stores (and therefore very toxic anyway, please let me know if there are still any made in USA.)
In element heaters, there is very little heat at the ends of the element. The heat gradually increases to the middle of the element. The thermostat is at the end. That means element heaters are less likely to effect the control of the thermostat relative to the ambient temperature in the room, which will have more effect on the thermostat than it will with a hydronic (oil-filled) heater, especially radiator-types. That makes the element heater far better for heat control and moderation.

The heater I ordered because mine went out and I went to all local stores and everybody just had a sale on them so they didn't have any in the surrounding towns of me at all! I looked up heaters on Amazon.com found this one was a little sketchy about the product for the price comparing to my last buys on heaters from local stores. Package came in fairly quick. Once opened up and plugged in it was instantly blowing out warm air in a cold room. The features are good just wished it had a auto timer to turn it on like my others do. Overall this is a awesome heater and am thinking about ordering another for another room. It heats my living room and kitchen area pretty good here in Louisiana when it is in the 30's i can stay comftorable. So it is a better product then the other few I have!
