Purchase date 11/14/2020.
First use on 11/17/2020 when the cold weather started.
The device has 2 heating levels, one at 750 watts and one at 1250. Both can reach 2000 watts when turned on.
We noticed that on the first application at 1250, it emitted a slight odor. Then we tried it at 2000 to see the difference, and it smelled quite a bit. The same thing happened the next 2 times at 2000. Now it rarely happens.
At 1250, it adequately heats small spaces of 8-12 square meters. It is not suitable for larger spaces.
Within 20 minutes, it sufficiently warms up the room.
At 2000 watts, the heating level is achieved much faster.
It emits warm air upwards (as warm air masses move) which spreads into the atmosphere.
It has a small and convenient size, making it easy to transport.
It only heats the room with closed doors.
It works wonders in moderate cold, but struggles to cope with extreme cold (see the recent snowfall on January 16-19, 2021).
I understand that the house we live in has no insulation at all and that its usefulness is maximized for the price.
When turned off, it immediately stops emitting heat and the room cools down again after half an hour.
My wife loves the little stove.
Conclusion:
It is a commendable heating device and an excellent value for money product!
Highly recommended.
Update:
Despite the cheap sheet metal and the uneven legs, the 17.90 euro convector defeated the 94.90 euro oil radiator Delonghi TRRS 1225.
However, whether you agree or not with this review experience, the truth is that all these electric heating devices are intended as supplementary heating for small spaces with satisfactory insulation. For example, in my apartment where there is no central heating or insulation, the result is visible but lasts only a short time after the device is turned off. And let's face it, we can't keep it on all the time because of the high electricity costs.
Update: If I had known how the market would evolve, I would have bought at least 2 more for my parents, grandparents, and in-laws.
Now it has doubled in price compared to the previous year...

Congratulations to my lightweight yet powerful ally in the cold winters of 2020-2022. I hope you remain unbeatable for many more years, my dear friend. I wouldn't want to lose you.
