What is it?
An electric panel heater with smart functions to help regulate room temperature.
Good points?
The glass aesthetic looks similar to a TV or large tablet and fits well in spaces with contemporary decor. It can be utilised as either a portable device using the supplied feet or be fixed to a wall for permanence.
An in-built touchpad controls the appliance and is simple to operate, while the large display font is easy to read, even from across a larger room.
This model utilises convection rather than radiation to heat and circulate the air which negates the need for a fan and runs silently.
The benefit of this method is that it reduces the necessary time required to create detectable warmth as it heats up its surroundings. This means you will feel an almost immediate difference in a chilly room.
Like all good modern home appliances, the heater comes with an app that enables a variety of powerful features such as scheduling, temperature regulation and a lock to prevent small children activating the device.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
