cadet 1000 watt baseboard heater
By Ben on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2013
UPDATE 12/11/24 (TEN YEARS LATER) Ten years since my last update. This heater still works. Through several moves, and being tossed around from room to room, house to house, and state to state... it still works perfectly (aside from a few bent fins, oops...). I couldn't be happier with it. Last year the central heating went out in the new(ish) place i'm living, so i pulled this out of the closet and wired it back up. Fired right up and helped keep a comfortable temperature in my living room. While i may not have used it constantly over the last ten years, the fact it still works after all this time makes me feel warm and toasty inside. UPDATE 11/22/14 Having used this heater throughout the winter of 2013 and now going into winter of 2014, This thing is still working great. Helps keep my bedroom comfortable and only gets as hot as it needs to with my honeywell baseboard thermostat. It did struggle however to keep the room warm when the temps got between 15 and 30 degrees F. This is mostly due to the old single pane windows i have and lack of decent insulation in my very OLD house. This winter i'm putting up some reflectix insulation on the windows and it should be much easier for the heater to keep me warm and toasty at night! ORIGINAL REVIEW 3/9/13 First of all, ignore the one star review. If you can't take time to research what you intend to buy, then you deserve to be dissapointed. I installed this heater along with a basic honeywell thermostat in my bedroom. I live in an old home, so heating is a pain. Being only 1000 watts, it doesn't heat super fast, but I can definitively say that it can get and maintain a much more comfortable room temp than the fan forced heater it replaced. Being that it is mounted onto the wall, it is completely out of the way. The unit seems well made and so far I haven't had any issues with it. Even when the thermostat turns it on full heat, it is silent And makes no creaking sounds. The quiet even heat is absolute bliss when I lay down to rest for the night. I had gotten use to fan heaters so much that now it is almost eerie how quiet the room is. With my experience having this heater, im going to be buying more of their heaters.

A Waste of Time

This 'Cadet' stuff is a misrepresented farce. It should be in a building supply online store and not in home products. People are looking here in 'amazon' for a unit with a thermostat that they can plug into a wall socket and get heat not for a partially assembled non-functioning unit that will need a thermostat and special tools and skill to hopefully work. It doesn't plug into a wall socket, you need to connect 'supply wires' to it! just look at what is required to get a 'Cadet' baseboard heater to work at [...]. In the video it states that if you are not able to assemble this yourself, you should get a licensed electrician to do it. Oh yes, at $50/hr! the electrician would wind up costing more than the unit! I am used to buying something that states what you are getting, this unit description states what you are NOT getting with an ambiguous 'no' that could be mistaken for 'number'. This company apparently floods an online store with partially assembled non-functioning items that can be listed at a lower price and overshadow the few really good working items. I sent the 'heater' and 'thermostat' back for a refund and bought a somewhat higher priced functioning unit that came with a thermostat and wall socket power cord and gave me good heat right away.
