Micathermic heaters produce both convection heat and radiant heat which is what makes them unique. I’ve reviewed my greenhouse heaters from Biogreen as well as my garage heater extensively in the past but never convertor heaters which I have quite a bit of experience with as I use them in my home office instead of heating up the whole house, during two renovations of mine and in the office and dinner cabin on our family nursery.If you do then find that Glen 500W Wall Mounted or Freestanding Skirt Heater isn’t exactly as you thought it would be, you can easily return it.

This is the only model that made it onto our review that actually has a remote to control the heater and pretty much controls all the functions. Although not essential, it is a great feature and more of a convenience. Along with the LCD screen are two control knobs – one to select which of the two settings you want to use and the other to dial between minimum and maximum power within that. There’s also a knob marked “Turbo” which switches on a fan to blow the hot air around the room. The heat is emitted from the front of the heater. You have to be sitting in the ‘box’ area in front of the unit to directly experience the warmth, though the warmed air does disperse throughout the room. As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it. This unit is somewhat heavier than some of the other models featured in our review. It has been fitted with wheels and plastic mouldings to enable easy transportation from place to place. We like that the design is cool and the display sizeable. It has all the right safety features set in place so that it does not become a fire hazard.
