Analysis
The Ballu is a high-end convector aimed at anyone who wants to automate the heating of a room. It's controlled over Wi-Fi from the app, by voice with Alexa or Google Home, with a remote or from the touch panel, and the maker claims savings of up to 37% thanks to its thermostat.
Being a fan-free convector, it runs practically silently and doesn't dry out the air, which is welcome in a bedroom. It can be wall-mounted to save space or moved on castors. The catch is the price: around 183 euros for 1500 W is steep next to a ceramic heater or a conventional convector. It only makes sense if smart control and design are a priority. The maker does not detail specific tip-over or overheat protections on the product page.
Pros
- Control by Wi-Fi, app, voice and remote
- Quiet, fan-free and doesn't dry out the air
- Wall or floor mounting with castors
- Thermostat with a claimed 37% saving
Cons
- Expensive for 1500 W (premium price)
- The maker doesn't detail tip-over/overheat protections
- Still few reviews (36)
Ideal for: Automating the heating of a bedroom or office with voice and app control.
