Mirrorstone Air Infrared + Convection Heating Panel With Remote - 600-1400W

Chose this remote control heater for my study specifically because of the open window detection feature, which I'd read about online and thought sounded like a genuinely clever piece of technology worth the slight extra cost over the standard dial version. Having used it for a couple of months now I can confirm it works exactly as described, whenever I crack the window for fresh air while working the heater noticeably reduces its output rather than continuing to blast away pointlessly, which I appreciate both from an environmental standpoint and for keeping my electricity bill sensible. Ordered online, straightforward process, delivery arrived within the stated timeframe in good condition. Fitted it myself, took about half an hour with the bracket kit included, nothing particularly different about installation compared to a standard heater. The remote itself is simple and intuitive, clear buttons and a display showing the exact target temperature I've set, which makes maintaining a consistent working environment throughout the day much easier than constantly adjusting a dial by feel. Build quality feels excellent throughout, both the heater and the remote itself feel well made rather than cheap or flimsy. Would highly recommend this to anyone specifically interested in the open window detection feature, it genuinely works as advertised and has made a noticeable difference to how mindlessly we sometimes leave heating running with windows open.

My late sister and I shared a house together for the last several years of her life, and after she sadly passed away last year I found myself living alone for the first time in decades, which prompted quite a few practical changes around the house including finally replacing our old and rather unreliable dial heater in the living room, the room where we used to spend most of our evenings together and where I now spend rather a lot of time alone with my memories and the television for company. My nephew helped me choose the remote control version rather than the standard dial model, suggesting it might make things a bit easier for me living alone now, particularly given how my hip has been giving me trouble lately, making getting up and down rather more of an effort than it used to be even a few years back. He helped me order it online, and delivery arrived within the stated timeframe in good condition. My nephew fitted the heater for me during one of his regular visits, said the installation was entirely standard regardless of which control option we'd chosen, just the usual bracket kit and wiring any panel heater would require regardless of the specific features included. The remote itself has been simple enough for me to manage, my nephew patiently went through everything with me and I've had little difficulty using it independently since then, which has given me a small but meaningful sense of continued independence during what has been a rather difficult period of adjustment to living alone after so many years of shared companionship with my sister. Being able to adjust the temperature from my chair rather than having to get up repeatedly throughout the evening has made a genuine practical difference given my current mobility limitations, and the open window detection feature gives my nephew particular peace of mind when he's not around to check on me, knowing the heater has a sensible safeguard built in rather than potentially running wastefully at full power should I ever forget a window is open, which admittedly happens more often than it perhaps should given everything else I've had to adjust to recently. Overall this purchase has provided a genuine measure of practical comfort during what continues to be a difficult period of my life, and I'm grateful to my nephew for guiding me towards the remote control version rather than simply the cheapest option available, understanding as he does the particular circumstances I now find myself navigating on my own after so many years of sharing my home and my life with my sister.

Bought this remote control heater for our lounge, mainly attracted by the convenience of not having to get up to adjust a dial every time the room felt slightly too warm or cold depending on how many people were in there and what we were doing. The remote itself works well most of the time, simple to use and I appreciate being able to set a precise target temperature rather than guessing with a dial like our previous heater required. The reason for four stars rather than five is that the remote occasionally seems to require replacing the batteries more frequently than I would have expected, maybe every couple of months with fairly regular use, which is a minor ongoing cost and inconvenience worth mentioning for anyone considering this model. Ordering was simple through the website and delivery arrived within the stated timeframe in good condition. Installation was completed by my husband, took about half an hour with the bracket kit provided, standard process regardless of control type. Performance of the heater itself has been very good, heats the room up quickly and holds a consistent temperature well throughout the evening. The open window detection has also been a nice bonus feature we didn't specifically buy it for but appreciate having nonetheless. Would still recommend this overall, just keep spare batteries handy for the remote.
