Let me start by saying this radiator looks sleek and modern. The aluminum build feels premium, and the baked paint finish does resist scratches well. I installed it in my bedroom, and it blends nicely with the decor.

The heating efficiency is impressive. With 8 panels pumping out 4,700 BTUs, my room warms up surprisingly fast. The side baffles really do help distribute heat evenly without that annoying blowing sensation that dries out your skin.

However - and this is a big however - installation was a nightmare. The instructions might as well have been in hieroglyphics. I'm fairly handy, but getting this mounted properly took way longer than it should have.

The biggest issue? Quality control seems hit or miss. While mine works fine (after the installation ordeal), some users report receiving defective units right out of the box. That's concerning for a product at this price point.

When it works, it's great - silent operation, good heat distribution, and energy efficient since it ties into my existing hot water system. But based on other reviews, you might be rolling the dice on whether you get a good one.

Bottom line: If you're willing to gamble on quality control and have patience for installation, this can be an efficient heating solution. But buyer beware - your experience may vary wildly from mine.
