Princess Smart Glass Panel Heater
What is it?
An electric panel heater with smart functions to help regulate room temperature.
Good points?
The glass aesthetic looks similar to a TV or large tablet and fits well in spaces with contemporary decor. It can be utilised as either a portable device using the supplied feet or be fixed to a wall for permanence.
An in-built touchpad controls the appliance and is simple to operate, while the large display font is easy to read, even from across a larger room.
This model utilises convection rather than radiation to heat and circulate the air which negates the need for a fan and runs silently.

Like all good modern home appliances, the heater comes with an app that enables a variety of powerful features such as scheduling, temperature regulation and a lock to prevent small children activating the device.
