A whole 5dB separates it from the nearest competitor. With around only 43db in the smallest level the Ecomat 2000 works so quietly, that you can easily fall asleep and sleep through it, even if you only sleep lightly.
When comparing the decibel values watch out for: Our hearing only needs a sound level increase of just 5dB in this area TO SEEM ALMOST TWICE AS LOUD!
Most of the fan heaters on the market are at a noise level of + 50 dB. So you make the environment warm very quickly but you are significantly disturbed during concentrated work, listening to your favourite CD and especially when sleeping.
