Okay, so I've been using this Stiebel Eltron wall-mounted heater for about two months now, and here's the real tea:

First off - it's QUIET. Like, 'almost forget it's running' quiet. The 49db rating is no joke. Perfect for my home office where I need to focus.

The thermostat? Game changer. My old heater would either roast me or do nothing. This one actually maintains a comfortable temperature without me babysitting it.

Installation was... interesting. Had to get creative with the wiring since there's no knockout for conduit (ended up voiding the warranty with some DIY modifications - oops!). But once installed? Flawless operation.

Heats my awkwardly-shaped basement room like a champ - and that's saying something because previous heaters struggled there. The downdraft design really does distribute heat evenly.

Only gripe? The plastic construction feels a bit cheap for the price point. But hey, German engineering hasn't let me down yet!

Would I buy again? Absolutely - already planning to get another for the guest room before winter hits hard.
