We tested the best-selling energy-saving ceramic heater on Amazon and these are its pros and cons

At the price of electricity, we seek to save at all costs, this makes us purchase appliances that consume much less. For example, we choose heating systems that involve a much lower cost.

Heaters, those heating systems that emit hot air, are our best allies in the bathroom or for heating rooms quickly and effectively. However, they consume a lot of electricity. For this reason, ceramic models, which are more energy efficient, have become very fashionable in recent years.

Our assessment of the Rowenta Mini Excel Eco Safe

Size and weight:

The heaters have the great advantage that they are small devices that allow us to change their location whenever we want. In this sense, the Rowenta Mini Excel Eco Safe seemed to us to be a very compact, lightweight model with a carrying handle that makes it comfortable to carry.

In addition, it can be stored in any corner because it is a fairly narrow vertical model and it fits in any corner.

Power and functions:

This heater has three positions where the power varies. with its function silence the power is 1000W and in the function Turbo the power is 2000W. In addition, it has the function ECHO in which the power varies according to the thermal need.

We did the test both in a bathroom and in a room of about 10m2 and we must say that we were surprised by its effectiveness. In both rooms, heating was very fast and the temperature remained constant.

In addition, it is appreciated that it has a temperature regulator that allows you to easily control the level of heat that we want.

Energy efficiency:

This ceramic heater has an ECO function that saves 50% energy. What this function does is heat the room up to the desired temperature, automatically regulating the power, and when it reaches the level of heat that we have set, it stops working.

We especially liked this function because it allows you to maintain a constant temperature and prevent the temperature from rising too much. In addition, it supposes much less energy consumption than another normal heater that does not have this function.

We must also highlight that it has a filter that is easily removable and washable, an important advantage so that the device always works like the first day, in addition to emitting healthier air.

Pros and cons of the Rowenta Mini Excel Eco Safe:

Pros:
✔️ Reduced size
✔️ Very light and compact, which allows it to be easily transported
✔️ Fast heating
✔️ ECO function that saves energy
✔️ It is very quiet
✔️ Removable and cleanable filter
✔️ Intuitive operation

Cons:
❌ The power button is permanently lit and annoying if we use it in the dark
❌ Limited power if we want to use it to heat large rooms

Our final conclusion on the Rowenta Mini Excel Eco Safe heater

The Rowenta Mini Excel Eco Safe is an efficient and very useful heater if we want it to heat the bathroom quickly, for rooms that are not very large or if we want an extra contribution of temperature in some specific place. For example, it can be a useful tool to put under a desk if our feet get cold while we are working or studying.

On the other hand, we would not recommend it for use in large rooms and also not for sleeping. As we have specified in our list of cons, the power button is always illuminated, whether or not the heater is working. This permanent green light is too bright in a dark room and annoying when we try to fall asleep.
