All space heaters are basically 100% efficient at turning electricity into heat. Video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-jmSjy2ArM

I doubt its any better at heating, but you can set schedules and check if you turned off your heater if you leave the house.

Not worth it. 1500watts is 1500 watts. Get a smart plug and a cheaper UL rated space heater with a manual (not digital) on/off switch.

If you just need to remotely turn it on and off, do your network a favor and buy a regular space heater with a smart plug from a reputable name that is known for good security and firmware / software updates.

I would agree but if you want both a schedule and a digital thermostat, then this is the only option.

I am also not a fan of plugging in a 1500W appliance through a smart plug. Seems like another potential point of failure and a fire hazard.

You can control with Alexa, and it moves around to spread the heat

So under Specifications it says:

Features - Remote Control Included

Is this correct, please check your boxes folks ?

Not sure I want to use a phone or adjust it manually.

Thanks.......................
