Soleus makes 4 models of micathermic heaters. The three console heaters pictured below are the "radiator" type design - but in name only since they employ an electric heating element - not diathermic oil.
Similarities
All three of these console heaters have the following features in common:
- Adjustable thermostat
- 12 hour timer
- Over heat and tip over safety protection
- Side carry handle
- 1 year limited warranty.
Soleus HM1-10-32 | Soleus HM2-15R-32 | Soleus HM4-15E-01 |
How they differ (from left to right):
Model HM1-10-32: ($65) The HM1 has two heat settings of 500/1000 watts and something Soleus calls ECO Mode which is an energy saving function that cuts power by 1/3 when room temp reaches its set point. To compensate for its ultra thin profile, the HM1 is 3.5" wider than the HM2 and a shade taller. Dimensions including casters: 3.5 x 21.5 x 26.3 inches.
Model HM2-15R-32: ($70) At 1500 watts, the HM2 offers 50% more power than the HM1 with two heat settings of 750/1500 watts PLUS a remote control. Dimensions including casters: 8.6 x 18 x 26 inches.
Model HM4-15E-01: ($62) What's up with the white? According to Soleus customer service it's simply another design option and provides no enhancement to functionality. The HM4 also has two heat settings of 750/1500 watts. However, it does not have a remote control and comes with feet rather than casters. If you notice, the photo shows how the side carry handle is configured.
Dimensions including stand: 18 x 8.9 x 26 inches.
Soleus Flat Panel Heater
HGW-308R: ($75) The Soleus HGW-308R is the only flat panel heater made by Soleus Air. The heating surface of the HGW is even larger than the DeLonghi HHP by 33 square inches. A larger mica heating surface means additional radiant heat to quickly heat room occupants.
