ITI enjoy this device very much I enjoy this device very much. I have been using 3 Heatbits last winter in my large mountains house and they all did a great job keeping us warm and used less energy than our previous oil heaters. I would recommend heat it to anyone who likes cool gadgets, I think it’s great

GBLong wait, now pleased with the Mini It took a very long time to finally receive the Heatbit Mini. Very. I had the Heatbit One unit, and actually was okay with it, until it stopped working. I returned that original device and got on the list for the Heatbit Mini, where I remained in limbo with many others for months. I was skeptical until the Mini arrived at my door, which it did in March. It is a much more visually pleasing and technically sophisticated device. The differences between the One and the Mini are substantial, pretty much all good. Living in an area that will see increasing numbers of wildfires and air quality issues, I am glad to see an air purification function added to the Mini. How it works, changing/cleaning filters, needs to be explained better. Or, period. I found the setup to be difficult and frustrating, however. I honestly don't know how it eventually connected to my wi-fi and the app, but it was not the seemingly simple process outlined on the website. The app itself has been improved, and provides useful information about device status, ambient conditions, and mining activity. I do wish that there was more control functionality between the app and the Heatbit, but I am assuming that that will come with more time and refinement of the software or firmware. Probably my biggest gripe is that there really needs to be an owner's manual available online. The controls on the device provide more functionality, but I shouldn't need to do a search to learn what that functionality is. The Mini can do a number of things—those should be documented. Summary: the new hardware seems well-thought out and robust (though my experience has been relatively brief...so far, so good). App is better, but needs to be better. Device documentation and support needs to exist and be maintained with any changes that occur over time. Finally...I am earning satoshis at the advertised rate, and am happy about that. I hope that everyone else has their machine really soon.

GBOrdered a Heatbit Mini in June of 2023. Ordered a Heatbit Mini in June of 2023. The product has never been shipped. Every inquiry to Heatbit has been answered with placating word salad replies on how you will be updated on shipping, and how you are high on the shipping priority. None of that seems to be true. It is only a delay tactic to put one off. Now they are doing the same thing after I asked for a refund. Their customer service is only a AI computer generated quasi-human. No human will correspond with you, and they refuse to talk with you on a phone, or via email. This company seems more and more like a scam/con-job!

GBI have been beta testing Heatbit Mini… I have been beta testing Heatbit Mini for the last couple of weeks, and I also own the original model. I like both devices, but Mini is clearly a better quality heater with better materials, more thought-out design etc. It is also a great air purifier. I am surprised the Mini price was lower than the first generation and I LOVE it. I still think there can be some improvements in the app for example, but as a beta tester I got to talk to the product team, and they make updates and improvements every week. Overall, if you are a tech enthusiast, this is a great gadget for you

GBOrdered my mini Heatbit April 2023 and… Ordered my mini Heatbit April 2023 and still Have not received. I have reached out to support 15 times and get told a different story each time saying they are still In beta testing which was supposed to end back in November. They keep saying I will be one of the first ones to receive yet nothing!
