In the first place is a micathermic ceiling heater with dimensions of 1265x238x64 mm. The model comes in a white case and visually resembles a fluorescent lamp, so it is not striking on the ceiling. The power of the device is 1500 W and is suitable for rooms up to 15 m². The device can be installed at a height of up to 2.7 m without loss of efficiency for users. The heater operates at full capacity all the time. To regulate the temperature, you need to purchase a thermostat. The owner of the reviews likes that the heater does not dry out the air, keeping it fresh.
This micathermic model is notable for the wavy shape of the heating plates. This improved geometry contributes to a 15% higher heating rate than flat element heaters. A new technological solution with protruding ribs has improved the efficiency of the device in distributing infrared radiation in the room.
Advantages
- can be installed on ceilings up to 2.7 m high;
- the fixing kit is supplied with the heater;

Polaris PMH 2085
Rating: 4.9
In second place is a floor heater of the micathermic type with a power of 2000 W. This is enough to warm up a spacious room of 30 m². The device is made in the form of a vertical block, where the heating element is additionally covered with a steel mesh that prevents burns. At the bottom of the case, there are wheels for easy rearrangement, so the device can be freely used, transporting it with you from room to room. There is a thermostat and a power regulator at the end. To prevent the power cable from hanging loose during periods of inactivity, there is a winding tab on the side. Buyers in the reviews like that the heat from the heater goes in two directions at once, which is more efficient compared to unidirectional models.
The experts turned their attention to the heater due to the anti-freeze function. This is useful if there are no other sources of heat in the room or if using them without human supervision is more dangerous (for example, a gas boiler). The micathermic device can be put into this mode, which will prevent water from freezing in the pipes of the main heating, sewerage or water supply.

Next is a micathermic model, sold since 2013. Despite its age, its design does not become obsolete. The heating elements are covered with a dense mesh and complemented by two vertical black posts. Power and temperature regulators are provided on the side. At maximum heating power, the heater consumes 1500 W per hour. This is enough to heat a room of 15-20 m². If the device is knocked over by children or animals, it will turn off automatically. In the reviews, buyers are satisfied with the heating rate, where heat begins to be felt from the first seconds of switching on.
Our experts consider this heater to be the best in terms of accurate room temperature control. The electronic thermostat provides a preset level of heat, which has an error of 4 degrees relative to the room thermometer. When the temperature drops, the micathermic heating element turns on immediately, so users do not experience a strong imbalance between cold and heat.
Advantages
- equipped with an electronic thermostat;
- automatic shutdown when rollover;
- Can be wall-mounted or used on a stand;

The device consumes 2000 W and is suitable for heating an area of 20 m². The kit comes with fasteners, but the power cord will have to be purchased separately. Buyers in the reviews are satisfied with the heating power, but they advise you to immediately think about where you can hang the heater, given the length of 1.6 m.

Ceiling micathermic heater is produced with a power of 800 W. Its dimensions are 1300x130x40 mm. The device is capable of heating a room with an area of 10 m². Unlike other products in this review, the device is designed for an installation height of 2.4-3.5 m. Brackets for the wall and the body of the device are supplied with the heater, which are connected with screws. Outside, the model is painted with a black anodized coating, 25 microns thick, which does not peel off and retains an attractive appearance of the product during the entire period of operation.
A common problem with ceiling heaters is the 9-10 cm thick cabinet that looks bulky on the ceiling. This micathermic model features a thin 4 cm block, which is created using a patented technology with beveled inner corners. Visually, this makes the panel on the ceiling even thinner. The second advantage that buyers like in reviews is the presence of a wing mechanism that allows you to change the angle of rotation of the heater by 30 degrees in each direction. This allows you to more accurately direct the fireplace towards the users.
Advantages
- stainless steel body;
- spends 0.8 kW per hour;
- mount with a change in the angle of inclination;
- weighs 3.0 kg.

VES MX 5
Rating: 4.5
The overview is completed by a micathermic heater with floor installation. Its power is 1300 W, which is enough for 10-15 m². Outside, the casing has a steel sheet of metal, which reliably protects the heating micothermal element from mechanical damage. A light diode is provided on the side to indicate the status of the device. The device weighs 4.8 kg, so it can be easily moved with one hand to another room. A handle is provided on the back panel so as not to burn yourself when lifting the device. The manufacturer managed to achieve a 30% reduction in energy consumption compared to convection models.

The overall design in the High Tech style makes it an additional element of room decoration.
Advantages

- unusual design;
