Is Wellheater a Scam Heating Device?

Wellheater aka Airheater is yet another product marketed by a Lithuania based company called UAB Commerce Core, which uses false and misleading YouTube ads and Google ads to sell low-quality generic products at hugely inflated prices. For example these 'Wellheater / air heater heaters', identical ones cost around £5 to £10 on eBay, Amazon and AliExpress, etc. They stick their Wellheater made-up brand name on and sell them for £50!

This company UAB Commercecore do the same thing with multiple products including a product called the Ecowell heater. They always use exactly the same ad format - false "50% off offer" with claims it ends soon/today/in hours but never does, claims the product was invented by someone (who in reality doesn't exist as the product is just a generic heater, nobody invented it because it already exists), totally false claims of 80% or 90% savings on your electricity bills, heats up any room in seconds etc...

They also use sites posing as independent consumer review sites with names like topverified review and topconsumer review which are actually owned by the seller of Wellheater, UAB CommerceCore, Lithuania.

The same company UAB Commerce Core sell the same products under various brand names using the same misleading ads and websites with hugely inflated prices - the Ecofusion heater is also called the Alpha heater, Airheater, and the Ecowell heater - all just the same cheap generic Chinese made heater that is sold on AliExpress and Amazon for £5 to £10.

The Wellheater website also prominently displays a (fake/lookalike ) static Trustpilot logo / widget and the text says TrustScore 4.7 | 8257 Customer Reviews - as you can see here, they do NOT have a Trustscore of 4.7 nor do they have thousands of reviews, so this is obviously fake - yet another totally false claim from this company in their attempts to rip people off during a cost of living crisis.
