Aggregate ratings lean positive, but the evidence is limited and includes some lower ratings. Without customer comments, it does not establish what buyers liked or why others rated it lower. Treat the ratings as a tentative signal rather than evidence about heating performance, especially given the listing's inconsistent power and coverage claims.
