Embilis HD22R review

A 1,500-watt convection panel for up to 500 square feet, with a two-degree thermostat and a twelve-hour timer.

Where this leaves you Fifteen hundred watts for 500 square feet, with a thermostat settable from 59 to 95 °F in two-degree steps and a one-touch 77 °F preset. The largest claimed coverage on this shelf and the finest thermostat on it.

What the maker puts in writing

  • 1,500 W, Low and High modes · up to 500 sq ft
  • 180° wide-angle heat distribution
  • Thermostat 59–95 °F in 2 °F steps · one-touch 77 °F
  • 12-hour programmable timer · LED touch panel and remote
  • Overheat and tip-over protection · freestanding or wall mounted

The thermostat is the reason

Two degrees at a time, from 59 to 95 °F, with a button that jumps straight to 77. No other heater on this shelf publishes an increment at all.

For a room you are trying to hold at a temperature rather than blast, that is the control that matters, and it is the one most of this shelf leaves vague.

The coverage claim, read against the watts

Five hundred square feet is the biggest number here, and it comes from the same 1,500 watts as two other heaters on this shelf — one of which claims only “medium to large”.

Three watts per square foot will hold a mild room. It will not rescue a cold one, and the listing does not claim otherwise in so many words.

The good and the less good

Strengths

  • The largest claimed coverage on this shelf at 500 square feet, from the same 1,500 W two other heaters here use
  • A two-degree thermostat with a one-touch 77 °F preset — the finest adjustment on this shelf
  • A twelve-hour programmable timer and both panel and remote control, at the middle of this shelf by price

Compromises

  • No warranty published, where three heaters on this shelf give three years
  • Five hundred square feet from 1,500 watts is three watts per square foot, which is thin for a cold room
  • Batteries for the remote are not included, and the listing says so

The questions that keep coming up

Will 1,500 watts really heat 500 square feet?

It is three watts per square foot. The rule of thumb for a mild, insulated room is around ten, so read 500 square feet as the limit of circulation rather than the limit of heating. A De’Longhi on this shelf uses the same 1,500 watts and claims only "medium to large" without a figure.

What does the 77 °F button do?

Sets the thermostat to 77 °F in one press. It is the only preset temperature button on this shelf, and on a heater with a two-degree thermostat it saves nine presses.

Two-degree steps — is that fine enough?

It is the finest on this shelf: the EconoHome panels give a 41-to-86 °F dial with no stated increment, and the De’Longhi heaters say "adjustable thermostat" and nothing more.
