The unit is ETL certified, ensuring safety with an auto-shutoff feature to prevent overheating. The design is contemporary and practical, featuring a black painted metal frame that should blend into most interior styles. It covers a heating area of up to 400 square feet, suitable for medium-sized rooms but may not replace central heating.
