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.

GBI purchased Heatbit One a year ago I purchased Heatbit One a year ago, and have been using it since. I must say, I am favorably impressed with its performance. The idea of combining home heating with Bitcoin mining is indeed innovative. The heat it provides is ample and comforting. As someone who's mildly interested in cryptocurrency, the idea of mining Bitcoin while simply heating my room seems almost too good to be true. It's a pleasant bonus, though I would advise potential buyers not to expect to get rich overnight. Nonetheless, it does offset some of the electricity costs, which is a sensible feature I've not seen in other heaters.

GBSleek, Simple and Solid performance Simple to use, quick customer support and the APP is very straightforward. Main issue so far has been connectivity issues after firmware updates and having to manually resync my heatbit to the app. But that will pass I'm sure. As far as performance, it was perfect for this past winter being in the north east. Only gripe is the remote feature in the app to cycle through power modes was initially to be rolled out in February 2023. Once that is up and running, it will be even more convenient to use. I would recommend for those who want a more realistic price entry into Bitcoin mining.

GBWorked like a charm! Wanted to get into mining for a while, but didn't really know how to get started. Naturally, this plug & play solution immediately caught my attention. Been using it for a month, and it has already generated 25$ worth of BTC without additional energy consumption. Also, really appreciate how it's quiet and also has an attractive and unique design. Loved it!

CAHeatbit delivers what it promised Heatbit is a good product. It does what it promises which is generate heat and mine bitcoin. User interface does need some improvements and hopefully that is forthcoming from the development team. There are also some minor setup and wifi connectivity issues that could be ironed out, but in the end, it does deliver. For new users: In particular it takes about 30 seconds to "boot up" which is something that is not mentioned anywhere, so at first it appears like it doesn't work, when in fact it is simply initializing.
