Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: Soleus Air MS-20A uses PTC ceramic heating elements, which provides rapid heat transfer to achieve a factory pre-set temperature quickly without an open flame, therefore minimizing any possible fire hazard. The unit has three settings: Fan, Low Heat and H Amazon.com Review: The Soleus Air MS-20A ceramic wall heater is a modern, electric version of the old-fashioned freestanding gas heaters that used ceramic bricks to hold and radiate heat. The MS-20A uses less ceramic material to achieve greater heat production than those dinosaurs did, and it has a few other improvements, too. First, the heater's PTC ceramic element --PTC stands for positive temperature coefficient-- allows for more rapid heat transfer to the desired temperature setting. There's also a built-in fan and a 7-1/2-hour timer. And because the MS-20A is electrical, there's no dangerous open flame burning off the oxygen in the room. Oh, and the best part--remote control. Settings on the MS-20A can be adjusted without ever getting up from bed or from the comfy chair. The MS-20A wall heater is made of sturdy, heat-resistant off-white plastic with black and gray accents. It's designed to mount on a wall, so the shape is obligingly oblong, and it's only 7 inches deep so as not to stick out too much into the room. A touch-pad control panel with light-up indicators offers settings for Off, Fan, Low (750 watts), or High (1300 watts), and a range of timer options. The timer can be set in configurations of 1/2, 1, 2, or 4 hours; they can all be selected to total 7-1/2 hours if desired. The small remote is very simple, with only three buttons: Select, Timer, and On/Off. Always unplug heater before cleaning; use a soft cloth, dry or only slightly moistened, and towel or allow to air dry afterward. Do not allow water to drip on or enter fan housing. Keep heater away from combustible substances such as paint thinner, etc., and do not cover it while it is in use. The 120-volt Soleus Air MS-20A ceramic heater measures 25 by 9-1/2 by 7 inches, with a 6-foot power cord. The remote takes two AAA batteries (not included). Detailed mounting, care, and caution instructions are included. Soleus Air offers a 1-year limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship under normal use conditions. --Garland Withers Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Okay but not great.Controls are awkward. Fan doesn't push much air. Hard to mount. But it heats up the room and the remote and timer works. Rating: - OK For PriceI have purchased 7 of these heaters over the past 9 months. We have already had to warranty 1 unit because the fan stopped working. The price is reasonable, and the remote control is good. The only upgrade that would make the heater a better unit is if it had a temperature controller in it. I think if they put a Temp control module in, where it would cycle on and off to keep a constant Temp in the room, then the fans wouldn't burn out so easily. According to quite a few of the other reviews, ... Read More Rating:  - Definitely does not heat wellAfter reading all the reviews, I expected this space heater to work like a charm. Not at all. It barely makes the air aournd itself warm. I bought it to heat a medium size room 10x15 warm. My little $7 space heater works better than this one! Rating:  - Perfect for a medium room, super easy to useI bought this heater after moving into an apartment where the heat rarely works. I was able to mount it and get it going within 5 minutes, and even a freezing cold room (of small to moderate size) heats up to a comfortable temperature within about a half hour. There's a great timer feature that lets you choose from a half hour to seven and a half hours before an automatic shutoff, or you can leave it on low or high for as long as you like. The mounting instructions say that you should ... Read More Rating: - It's yet to prove itself to me.We have an apartment and the baby's room has no heater, and it's starting to get cold in there. We're pretty cautious about safety and all the parenting web sites and books tell you to beware of space heaters and give all these restrictions about not putting it on carpet or closer than 3 feet from anything, don't use an extension cord, and so on. The fire dept. says space heaters are the #1 cause of household fires. Often that's because of extension cord overload. This unit seemed like ... Read More |
