Heat Storm Kick Space Wi-Fi Heater review

The A-1500-KP is a 120-volt, Wi-Fi-controlled kick-space heater that can go under a cabinet or into an in-wall installation. Its value is keeping a small heater out of the floor plan; its tradeoff is that the exact mounting, electrical connection and front clearance must be planned before the toe-kick becomes a finished cabinet face.

A different kind of wall heater

Heat Storm’s U.S. collection lists product 7179733860413 as the Kick Space 1500 Watt Electric Heater with Wi-Fi, SKU A-1500-KP. The matching official manual identifies support model HS-1500-KP and calls it an “in-wall or under cabinet smart heater.” This is a genuine installation distinction from a wall-hung Sedona or a recessed standard in-wall unit: the form is designed for a low kick-space position, with the manual also documenting in-wall use. The product page includes both black and white front grille covers, a remote with batteries, a six-foot cord, and a hardwire option.

Its heat settings are 750 and 1,500 watts, plus an automatic selection mode. The page lists 120 volts, 12.5 amps maximum, dimensions of 19.37 by 12.17 by 3.66 inches, weight of 10.8 pounds and 42–47 dB. It also advertises Wi-Fi schedules and phone control, adjustable thermostat, screen brightness and a child lock. The manufacturer’s 150-square-foot primary and 750-square-foot supplemental figures are room estimates rather than a measured fit for every cabinet or room. The six-foot cord can make a plug-in layout easier to plan, but the manufacturer says the cord can instead be hardwired; either choice must follow the exact manual and local requirements.

Installation and safety are the limiting questions

Choose the under-cabinet plan only if there is a compatible space and the cabinet, grille, wiring and surrounding materials can meet the installation directions. Airflow cannot be blocked by trim, a toe-kick panel, rugs or stored objects. The manual calls for at least three feet of clear space from the front and warns against furnishings and combustibles in that zone. Measure the actual installation space and verify the required cutout and clearances; the published body dimensions alone do not establish that an opening is suitable. A recessed or under-cabinet heater is not a portable heater that can be moved after mounting.

The manual says to use a direct outlet when plugged in, never an extension cord, strip or surge protector, and not to place the heater in wet or moist locations. It warns that hot surfaces can burn. The page’s broad language about bathrooms or convenient smart features should not be taken as exact-manual approval for near-water use. Keep it in an appropriate dry indoor location. An app schedule and child lock are useful control features, but they do not make the heater safe behind a blocked grille or prove unattended operation is allowed.

When to choose it over a conventional wall heater

Shortlist the Kick Space if a low hidden location matters and you can commit to the installation. The two included grille colors can coordinate with a cabinet without changing heater capability, and the app and remote offer different ways to make adjustments. This model’s 120-volt supply is also distinct from the high-output 240-volt HS-3000-WALL-R; it is not a 3,000-watt alternative. If you simply want a heater mounted visibly on a wall, the Sedona or ceramic PTC avoids the cabinet-opening question. If you need floor mobility, compare a portable model instead.

The current product page calls the unit Wi-Fi enabled and lists a remote; its manual confirms the model family and control operation. The native collection listed this variant available while the captured product page showed sold-out text, so verify current supply separately. The official hero image shows the low-profile heater and is not described by the maker as either a photograph or a rendering. Read the A-1500-KP page and HS-1500-KP manual before finalizing cabinetry or wiring.
