If you set this heater on high it will give you way too much heat for one bathroom, unless it is a bigger than average bathroom. I initially used it in my bedroom, but again, too much heat, so I now use it on the stair landing, which is open to below and it still manages to warm-up the space without the heat concentrating too much -I don't like warm spaces, I'm just looking the tone-down the cold, and this does the job very nicely... but I've gotten the same results from heaters a lot less expensive than this.

Two things to consider: it is NOT "quiet operation". The fan is actually pretty noisy I can hear it all the way down to the kitchen, when it's on I put on music to drown the fan sound.

Secondly, unless you screw it onto the wall, it will come off just by the fan vibration, and forget trying to use a hairdryer or any other appliance using the extra outlet, the hardware to hold it in place is just too flimsy. Since I don't want it as a permanent fixture, I found my own way to hold it in place (using an outlet cover -this actually works better the hardware provided) but I still put my left hand on it when I turn it on or off to keep it from jumping off the wall.

This heater is really fantastic! It mounts on a wall socket in just second, and is removable just as fast. We heat a 16 X 12 three season room with just one of these heaters! They are a little noisy on high, but once the desired temperature is reached you can turn it down to a lower setting, and maintain the rooms temperature with less noise!! I would definetly recommend this heater!!

I agree with the Jan 18, 2005 review; the heater does not stay in the wall outlet. It falls out when you turn the knob to turn it off/on or after a few seconds on (from vibrations). It was our second time purchasing this model; the first one from a couple of years ago did not have this problem.

Honest reviews on Seabreeze Off the Wall ThermaFlo Bathroom Heater

I had doubts that this heater could keep our bedroom warm

all night, but the gas company wanted $3000 to install a

wall heater. So we gambled on $50+ and installed the

Seabreeze. It took about three minutes to install it and

a couple of nights to find the ideal temperature setting.

Now it quietly holds the room at a comfortable temperature

all night.

This would have received five stars except for the thermostat,

which is a bit temperamental. Sometimes it would turn on the heater immediately after setting it manually to a position which turned it off.

Designed AND constructed in Canada, where they understand the need for staying warm! The design is brilliant but flawed by the assumption that all proper grounded bathroom 2-plug outlets will fit within their wall-mount box; the standard boxes our electricians installed a few months ago are too big, making it impossible to plug the unit in if you follow their instructions. However, good bathroom heaters are hard to find and it's easy to work around this (and other criticisms of this item): 1. Using the holes indicated on the wall-mount box, screw it into your bathroom wall anywhere within about 3-5 inches above your bathroom outlet (test in advance to be sure the short cord will still reach the outlet). We use 1.5 inch wood screws and happen to know that the wiring doesn't go above our outlet but you might want to adjust location depending on where your wires are in the wall. 2. Don't bother with the "dummy" plastic 3-hole piece they include; that's just to prevent you from accidentally overloading the outlet by using another device when the heater is on. If you need to remind yourself, it might work as a stand-alone dummy plug, or you could cap off the second outlet, or just remember and use common sense.

3. Now just hook the heater onto the wall-mount box. It's quite secure unless you're rough with it. But if you're worried about accidentally knocking it off the box, it is possible to thread a wire or large paper clip between the plastic grill and the mount box (common sense again: do this when everything is unplugged and try to be sure the wire doesn't touch anything inside the heater; and use metal, not anything that's flammable!). The above took about 10 minutes. That's for our bathroom fan; we bought two. The second one works fine in our unheated kitchen, follow the same instructions for screwing wall-mount into the wall wherever you want it, or even can safely stand on its side inside a metal box with some air space at the back in a location where it can't possibly get knocked over. We are the careful types so we simply use a heavy duty (14 gauge or larger--meaning 13-12--and guaranteed to handle 1875 watts: NOT a flimsy or ordinary) extension cord to reach the nearest available grounded plug (again, don't share the plug with other devices when the heater is on). Again, this is 10 minutes work. Result is a beautiful, small, attractive, affordable little heater that is safe, quiet, and Canadian-quality toasty!
