No there aren't many good looking heaters, and I paid more to get them in stainless steel and did a lot of research at the time. They were expensive heaters too for what they are. Skope used to make good looking bathroom heaters and I used to have a Skope in my old house and it was a very similar looking model.

But Skope no longer make them. I'm in the same boat, wholesalers wont cover labour for the mandatory recalled 2068 heaters and wont cover replacement heaters for the voluntary recalled 2069 and 207t heaters.
