It was exactly what I expected. Heats well, although it has a different system on the controller than my previous controller because this one also has a timer on it so you can have it go on for a couple hrs up to all night. Once I got used to the setting I liked it at, I don't have to change it anymore. Once I turn it on, it remembers the last setting you had it set at, which is nice.
I would highly recommend. Great bang for your buck. Wanted a taupe, but the beige was cheaper by a fair amount and decided to just get the beige, and it still works in our bedroom, so I'm pleased.
