Sorry to read another reviewer who had problems with his Model 157. Mine has worked perfectly for several months now. I chose the Model 157 rather than the Model 154 in spite of that reviewers comments. I'm glad I did.
UPDATE: It has been working perfectly for over a year now!
I installed it above the open stall of my elderly mother's doorless shower directly in the rising mist and high humidity. I run it (and another 1250 watt portable heater) for several minutes before her shower and total running time each use is probably about 30-45 minutes. It has never failed and the (large) bathroom warms up a LOT. Haven't measured the temperature, but it gets "toasty" in there (and as humid as a sauna.) I was worried the high temperature and moisture would be an issue, but they have not been a problem. In other words, it gets plenty warm in there without tripping any high-temperature safety feature in the unit.
I chose the Model 157 because of the heavy-duty element. It takes a couple minutes to fully heat up to red-hot, but that's fine. I think it will last a lot longer than the thin spiral wire element of the Model 154. In my opinion, it's well worth the extra cost.

I bought this item to replace one that had gone bad after 40 years. It was an 85 year old lady friend of mine and she said I was a 'gift from God' after I put it in. This was the easiest bathroom appliance I have ever had to istall. A monkey could put this in. a silicone grommett or washer for the screw holding the screen on could cut down on some chatter/vibration I heard. Other than that it works great.Best Deals on Broan Model 157 Low-Profile Solid Wire Element Ceiling Heater
This heater is great...it really cranks out the heat. I live in an older house, and replaced the Broan model 158. However, I've learned the hard way that the thermal switch on this unit is not reliable. Once the unit turns itself off via the thermal switch, it won't come back on. I've went through three thermal units before I learned my lesson. With the 158 the thermal switch would reset itself and I would be able to use the unit again. So if you really want this unit, buy a timer switch to go with it.If I had to do it over again, I wish I would have gone with another 158. It worked fine on the old fashioned toggle switch.
Honest reviews on Broan Model 157 Low-Profile Solid Wire Element Ceiling Heater
Was looking for a bit of supplemental heat in master bathroom on cold mornings. We already have wall lighting, nice ceiling vent fan but found this for a bit more heat to replace another ceiling light fixture, didnt want or need another light or fan combo. I also bought a timer to replace flip switch, my fear being might be left on all day by accident. This replaced a ceiling mounted light fixture pefectly, gives off a fair amount of heat after 5 min or so and was pretty reasonably priced, looks ok more flat platinum color than bright chrome/silver, but works well for the money spent with no other home modifications.Got what we wanted.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Broan Model 157 Low-Profile Solid Wire Element Ceiling Heater
This heater looks nice & was not difficult to install. It just does not heat the small area as well as I thought it would.I knew it would not "throw" a lot of heat but you have to stand really directly under it to feel it.
