Okay, let’s talk about this Cadet wall heater. First off, it’s *tiny but mighty*—well, sort of. The 1000W output does warm up my bathroom, but don’t expect instant sauna vibes. It’s more of a 'set it and forget it' 10 mins before your shower situation.
The install? *Mixed reviews here.* Some folks (like me) had zero issues—just popped it into the existing recessed box and reused the old grill. But wow, other reviews mention nightmare framing angles and electrician lunch breaks mid-install. Yikes.
LOVE the timer feature (yes, you *can* reset it to zero—take that, naysayers!) and the thermostat knob is satisfyingly clicky. But heads up: that timer *ticks*. Not loud, but if you’re neurotic about sounds (guilty), it’s there.
Biggest gripe? The fan is *whisper quiet* (awesome) but moves air like a sleepy sloth. If you’re upgrading from a ceramic heater, temper expectations—this distributes heat like a polite butler vs. a fire-breathing dragon.
Final verdict: Solid for small bathrooms if installed right, but check your voltage options first. And maybe keep a candle handy for ambiance (and backup warmth).
