This difference in density creates a convection effect and thus, stimulates the circulation of the air in order to heat up the home. Compared with the traditional radiation-based electric heater, this new product has the advantages of rapid heating and low drying, and the user feels more comfortable when using it.

In addition, the gadget also supports a more precise temperature regulation and also has a constant temperature function.

Thus, you can remotely switch it on while at work so as to heat up the home before you get there. This will also afford users the opportunity to stay in bed and control the electric heater without having to step down. The app can also be used to adjust the heating temperature and set other features like child lock etc.

The smart heater also comes with an LED touchscreen display where parameters such as temperature, timing, backlight brightness, etc can be adjusted.
