Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eco-heater 602 High-Efficiency Electric Panel Whole-Room Heater
Customer Review: Great fit for my needs
Summary: 5 Stars
This heater has been working great for me from the start. I needed a relatively small heater to keep a 150 sq ft room warm while still being pet friendly (won't burn anyone or outgas bird toxic fumes). So far I couldn't be much happier. This heater does take a few minutes to come up to temperature so that it can begin heating the room, and it also does take a bit longer, once warm, to heat the entire room compared to other space heaters its size. However the fact that the Eco-heater draws much less power, fits my pet requirements, and it is more space efficient (as it attaches to the wall) outweigh the few extra minutes I have to wait to be warm. Even that can be cheaply addressed if you buy a programmable outlet thermostat.Customer Review: Disappointed

I had high hopes for this heater. It seemed like it would be perfect in that it would not have to sit on the floor in a small room with little floor space. I liked the idea of it, slow heat using convection. When it arrived we mounted it on the wall which required using drywall mollies (fairly damaging to the wall if you want to move it). My adult daughter, who was sleeping the that room, complained of flashes of light when it was turned off. I then got afraid to have her use it; I was afraid it was arcing. It had been about 5 weeks since we had received it, and the box and paperwork were long gone for a return to Amazon. So, now I'm stuck with this thing on the wall that we are afraid to use. I do not recommend this product.Customer Review: Nice while it lasted.

I bought these units two years ago. They worked very well during that time. However, this year when I turned them on I smelled something strange. I came back the next day to find a black and melted mark where the power supply connects to the unit. It also had stopped working. About a week later I came down to turn on the second unit and found that it was turned on but was not working. I touched the spot where the cord enters the unit and it fell out. I am NOT going to attempt to get them replaced because I do not feel secure having these units in the house anymore. I really liked the concept and enjoyed them while they lasted however, coming downstairs and finding melted electronics is not really comforting.Customer Review: A disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I tried the product and was disappointed. I wall-installed it in my home office, a room that is about 18x16 feet and unfortunately, couldn't even tell it was there (even though I was only 5 feet away from it!). I would not recommend the product for that size of a room. I also tried the DeLonghi Micathermic Flat Panel in the same room and had excellent results. This is the first time I have ever tried these types of radiant heaters and I do like the idea of quiet heating.
Based on my experiences, I can't recommend the Eco-heater and I returned the product. The DeLonghi on the other hand, worked really well to heat up my office and if you are interested in a radiant heater, I do recommend it.
Customer Review: Great idea, too bad it didn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
I was enthusiastic about supporting green technology and saving money on electricity this winter, but unfortunately the eco-heater really needs to go back to the drawing board for some serious improvement. It is just simply low-grade. The heat it puts out would hardly keep you warm if you were standing right next to it. My bedroom is very small, and the eco-heater just did not warm it significantly at all. Too bad, because it seemed like such a great idea. I went instead with a Delongi 'dragon' oil radiator. It has two eco-settings (600, and 800 watts along with 1500), is silent and has a really easy-to-program timer that makes the heat come on for the specific intervals you choose, which saves on electricity.
