This heater performs efficiently, doesn't take up much space,and though the front end of it cycles on and off through a somewhat hot phase, I don't have to worry about burning myself or the burning the house down with it. However, this is my second heater, my first I used last winter for six months and then it just stopped working. I didn't have a warranty with the first one, but this time around I'm glad I purchased a warranty, hopefully this second heater will last longer. Besides that, every else is excellent about it.

This is the third winter I've used my 308R and I loved it! Although my living room is an open floor plan, this heater still warmed it up quickly and without drying out the air.
Yesterday one of the wheels fell off. The heater was cool and unplugged. I laid it on its side to replace the wheel (how else would one replace a wheel on the BOTTOM of a unit?). After that, it wouldn't turn on. I called the toll free number on the back of the unit and talked with a representative. I told him what happened and he told me that it is not recommended to lay the unit down. I reviewed the owner's manual that came with the heater. I found no place where it states this. The closest thing I found was it said not to tilt while OPERATING. Mine was in not operation. It had not yet been turned on that day.
The technician told me to wait four hours and turn the unit back on as it should reset itself. He said that if it doesn't, that means it will no longer operate. More than 24 hours later, the unit still will not turn on. Since the unit is past the one year warranty, he did not offer any other suggestions: no repair nothing. Not sure I will purchase another one. I consider this poor the fact that the manual did not say not to turn the unit over at all. I'm rating this as average due solely due to inadequate information in the owner's manual.

Comments about Soleus Air HGW-308/308R Wall Mounted Micathermic Panel Heater:
I ordered a Soleus Air HGW-308R from Sylvane after reviewing this type of product on the internet. The Soleus is easy to use and functions as advertised. Sylvane delivered the product in two days without any special delivery.
Comments about Soleus Air HGW-308/308R Wall Mounted Micathermic Panel Heater:
Unit has worked great for me. It is quiet and nicely warms up the bedroom. I keep it on the lowest possible setting of 59 degrees and on the highest power - so as to shorten cycle time - and it does just fine. I love the fact of a remote control too. It's nice to turn it on or off without getting out of bed. I have only had the unit for a month, so long-term reliability cannot be assest yet.

Comments about Soleus Air HGW-308/308R Wall Mounted Micathermic Panel Heater:
The streamline look is great and the wheels make it easy to move. However, I have purchased two that have quit working shortly after purchase. Not sure why.

This works great when it doesn't shut itself off.
Comments about Soleus Air HGW-308/308R Wall Mounted Micathermic Panel Heater:
Works good. Seems like the temperature control does not work too good. It can be 80 in the room and with the temperature control set at 77, the heat still comes on and off.
Comments about Soleus Air HGW-308/308R Wall Mounted Micathermic Panel Heater:
It has worked great, it's quiet, you can hang it on the wall and it as good heat output. The only question is, will it keep working for several years?
