Side by Side Comparison of: Cadet vs Fahrenheat

I replaced an old baseboard heater, mostly for cosmetic reasons. However, this seems to give out heat more quickly than my old one and looks more modern than the one I replaced. I cannot speak for the installation, as I had someone else swap out the old one, but he did not seem to have any problems replacing an existing one and got it done quickly. It was a good fit in terms of trying to replace my old heater with one of a similar size. The only thing I would recommend is that the product should automatically come with a thermostat switch. I did not realize I would have to buy it separately until I saw the thermostat listed as a recommended item that people usually buy along with the product. When I looked at the picture closely, I realized I had better buy a thermostat as one did not appear in the image. Others seem to have given it a good rating, so I decided to buy it since the price was reasonable. I will definitely look into buying this brand again when I decide to replace other heaters in my home if this one is still holding up in terms of reliability.

I'm a builder & use in my houses for soft heat. Great product.

nice sturdy unit hope it will heat my hall for years to come!thanks for a great deal!

love it!!!!! keeps our bathroom nice and warm on those cold winter days and nights

Easy to install. Great price for a heater that will be used on occasionColor blends to most decors. We installed for a customer in his basement

I replaced an older baseboard heater and this one is quiet, quick to heat (compared to the old one) and puts out good, even heat. Used in a 12X13 bedroom... more than adequate. Used a Double-Pole, Cadet Thermostat (the old one just had a knob on the end of the unit) and it's WELL WORTH IT! Easier access and much more accurate.

It was as expected.

Love these heaters. Have them in every room of our 5 bedroom house. Zone heating is more efficient since we only use one bedroom and the first floor since the children have moved out. Does make an expansion sound when heating up or cooling off. Much like the noise of a radiator. Does not bother me.

Works great and easy to install - I will for sure do this again

Came just as advertised.... easy to install & if we ever need another, this is the place we would get it.

Exceeded my expectations! Extremely well built and the customer service line was beyond helpful with a question on wiring the thermostat! BRAVO!!

Electric heat is good because it requires no maintenance and can be turned on quickly. But it is expensive and these heaters have to run high when it is really cold outside. I like the simplicity, but not the cost of using them.

The unit arrived in great condition WITHOUT any damage. The instructions were easy to follow but I would recommend having an electrician install it since it requires connection to household hard wiring. I installed it using a Cadet double-pole thermostat and it functioned properly as soon as I turned it on. There was a smell that came from the unit when I first turned it on but that smell went away after about 5 minutes of operation. So far the unit has functioned flawlessly and it does heat a 12' X 12' room sufficiently. I am very pleased with the product and it functions as advertised -- no problems so far.

Nice look to the unit, heat as expected. Replaced older, multi-painted unit.

The only thing that can be improved is even heat through out the heating element

I purchased two of these heaters and a Honeywell RLV3120A1005/H Digital Non-Programmable Thermostat for Electric Baseboard Heating to use in our gameroom. They provide supplemental heat when we use that area.

Just put one in. Trouble with the knock out in back for the wires. Basically had to drill it and cut it out with a side cutters.

comfortable heat for a small area. easy to install.

I would give 5 stars except one of the five I purchased makes noises.

Works great love it

Simple and easy to install

Heater works well even though it doesn't have a fan. It gives a slow and even heat. Wiring documentation is unclear. The heater I received had the face brackets mounted in the wrong place. Luckily this doesn't show up to badly with the covers on.

It heat the space and is reliable! Just what it is supposed to do!

Worked well until today and it got down to zero degrees.not keeping my 16x8 insulated front porch 72 degrees?I would have thought a 240 volt heater would have had more power..somewhat disappointed

not enough heat

I bought two of these units, they arrived with all the heating element supports broken in both units! I had to remove the elements, drill out the crapy method they used to connect them and put it back together with nuts and bolts. Metal was so thin I couldn't use self tapping screws.Don't buy this brand!

I wound up returning this. It came slightly damaged and it made me think it would not withstand very much use. It also appeared to be missing some pieces.

Does not come with an adjustable thermostat and couldn't wire a thermostat in. There is no on/off switch either. Had to resort to calling an electrician. Instructions were horrible and had to find you tube videos just to figure out how to install. Made a horrible smell when first turned on.

Packaging looked ok opened and heater was bent multiple places

Not for a house that only heats with wood. We have a smaller house and needed some extra heat in the bedroom but you cannot even feel this heater! You have to get down next to it and even then I can only feel a little heat on my hand if I stick it right on it. Not worth the money!

The heater arrived in a box that was torn at both ends. The heater itself was in complete disarray; the heating element had disengaged from the wall-side cover, both end covers were warped, and the front cover was loose in the box. I had to re-assemble the entire heater before mounting it and, quite honestly, I'm not sure it will stay together if anyone bumps it.

Steel is so thin. It came in damaged due to improper packaging. I've compared it to the old Cadet heater and it's twice lighter than Cadet made in 1990. I hate it.

This heater had good reviews, BUT what they don't say is that it takes an electrician to install! It doesn't even have a thermostat. I just needed a baseboard heater that PLUGS in, not one that is not complete and has to be wired in.

When I purchased this item it was described as 24", however when I received it it was actually 27",not as advertised.
