Ingenious device, however each unit of bitcoin mined costs ca. 3x in electricity despite having Intelligent Octopus at £7.5p/kWH for 6h every day (£19p/kWH on average). A timer to run only in off-peak time would be a welcome feature. Heating capacity is enough to warm a large room, but noise level can become tiring after some time. It has revealed itself a terrific solution to dry laundry on a clothes horse in winter more quickly. Bottom line: you won’t make money but can save some if on a cheap tariff or on solar.

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.

I have owned the Heatbit for several months, and true to its name it kept my garage comfortable during the winter months while mining between 12.9 and 14+ THs. Difficulties were experienced during the initial setup and subsequent software updates, but a few hours and the problems were fixed.

It's good, but what about cooling 'cuz what about summertime???

The heater does a really good job and it's nice to be making money while it's heating my space. The biggest frustration is if the Wi-Fi goes out it doesn't automatically restart. It's a manual process to get it running again.

Works as it is intended to do - puts out a nice amount of heat. There was some issues with the recent firmware upgrade (it just stopped running and the app remote control is now disabled) that took several hours to sort out, but I figure anyone that is into Bitcoin mining is technical enough to handle it. I think they really went just a bit too far on the 'dumb appliance' scale by only having a single button and 1 status indicator light to let you know what's going on.

I put my Heatbit in service at the end of our cold weather months. I had a nice quite heater to kick on in the mornings and pretty soon had $5 worth of bitcoin in my account. Before I would have run another space heater and had no bitcoin. The only real issue I have had so far is the remote control in the app isn't functional yet, the team says they are working on it. I know they are working on the app, etc as both it and the firmware has been updated since I activated mine. They are responsive in the help function of the app. I have asked questions several times and have received friendly helpful guidance each time.

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.
