Does such a thing exist? I recently installed a typical 1000 watt toe kick in a kitchen, Cadet maybe.....I was very unhappy how loud the stupid thing is. I have a bathroom in a master bedroom and I just know if I put that same one in they will not be happy with it. Ideally it would be smaller wattage too, like 500 would be fine.

I got away from Cadet after their recall issues, and went to King as they are local for me in Seattle. Good products too. They do have a SS toe kick https://king-electric.com/product/model-ht/. specs say it whisper quiet

That looks very nice Tom , but that is hydronic. this is a finished bathroom that has a wire from a line voltage thermostat under the vanity. Their electric ones have the lower wattage I need, paranoid about sound level though....
 
I'm a bit paranoid also about descriptions of items such as 'whisper soft' vs hard data.

In looking at the web site, they do say 53 dB(A).
An OSHA type chart puts a whisper at 35 dB(A), while 53 is loud part of quiet residence, e.g refrigerator.
Not really loud, but not 'whisper quiet' either.
My rant for the day :giggle:
