Easy install looks great

Chris (Product Expert,) who responded to a 1-star rating by Marie, is incorrect; they can and do rust. If SlantFin 30 is actually galvanized, it is the worst job of galvanization I have ever seen. Marie is correct; this junk rusts very quickly when installed in a bathroom. I replaced the original covers in my bathroom because they had been painted many times by the previous owner. In the ten years since, I've replaced them a second time and now they are rusty and due for another replacement. I should have left the old ones alone. This is one of the worst products in the plumbing and heating aisle. They are often scratched coming out of the box and it is near impossible to do no further damage to the thin coating while installing them. Just disassembling them, the interior gets scratched, exposing shiny metal underneath. Galvanized metal is typically dull, not shiny. I'm sure SlantFin does not take the extra step to shine it before coating- that would be ridiculous. More likely, the galvanization is as thin or thinner than the pathetic top coat they use. In addition, the end caps and other parts are overpriced and rarely fit perfectly without re-bending the doors. SlantFin is milking its name recognition for all it's worth. They haven't improved this product in the 20-odd years I've had to use them. I would absolutely get something else if there were a viable option, but the only other products I've found are either rated even lower or exorbitantly expensive. The only way to make this junk last is to paint it with Rustoleum before installation. SlantFin should be embarrassed.

I'm super frustrated because I've order the 8ft enclosure twice now -- both times they were bent --probably in the shipping process. I have to return it again to Home Depot. Now I have to drive many miles to a different distributor in the state to get it. Ugh -- a whole month wasted.

Looks great. In process of buying more to replace very old ones

Easier to replace the existing covers than to refinish them. Yes it's a little more closely, but a lot quicker than stripping the paint and refinishing the old ones. The metal is a bit thinner on these, but in no way do they fell flimsy or cheap. These seem to install easier than getting the old ones out. Bear in mind you will have to also get all the end parts and filler pieces. Also bear in mind that you may need to do some wall repair and painting if you replace the covers too. After replacing mine I am happy I made the decision to replace than to refinish.

Nu-White is not White = its Sand White/Tan. Product had some scratches brand new coming out of the package. Not an easy install. You need to be Advanced DIY, or a tradesman to install these. No installation instructions in the package. They look good after install, but its a huge pain to install. I've had them for 3 weeks installed. Final look, meets expectations. Install was far below expectations.

Most of the items that Home Depot delivered were damage and I had to return/replace them at the store myself. I don't want to knock the item itself for delivery issues though. This item made life easy. Combined with Shark Bites I was an instant plumber. I would 100% suggest these to anyone.

I had to fix the ones I kept and returned the ones that were too damaged!!!!

Quick shipping and looks great. I needed to replace the old one (different model) in my new home.

The front were dented and we were promised replacements, as of today, we have not received the replacements. Apparently they were returned because parts were bent and dented, however, we had the covers have way on before we realized that there were damaged, otherwise I would have returned them.

The quality of the Slant/Fin radiators is average - be careful of the ultra-sharp shards of aluminum that are present. The enclosure is good-quality, and thicker gauge metal than what I was expecting. The 3/4" copper tubing used in these radiators is type M (thinner than regular L- tubing).

Shipment came in bent. Waste of time with having to return it. Home Depot did refund return with no issues so this is not a knock on HD. More so on manufacturer.

The product was good but came without instructions. They were available on line.

Easy to install but next time I will use gloves

Heater fit great, makes the room look clean and elegant.

Excellent performance

I ordered the baseboard heater plus a left end cap and a right end cap. The heater was fine but you sent me two left end caps and no right end cap.

The deep for the fins was to shallow next I'll measure the deep before buying

Replaced the old painted ones and the new ones look great

I have install dozens of these units and have no complaints.
