Great little heater for a home office or room, when you don’t want to switch the central heating system on during the day.
Easy to use, quickly heats up and I like the colou
One of the best heaters I have ever purchased. Perfect for whole room heating or for moving around the house for those colder areas or corners. On the 900 watt setting there is a very good heat output in four minutes from switching on or from three minutes using the 1500 watt setting and of course when it switches off, it remains warm/hot for up to ten minutes as it cools because of the oil filling. I’ve not had a black radiator before this and was a little dubious, but it looks very start and is not as obvious or noticeable as much as the white heaters. I fully recommend this radiator.
Looks good in my sons bedroom and gives out plenty of heatv
Good heater apart from feet , feet need to be stronger .
we are pleased with how the heater looks and works
Living in a caravan at present. This is keeping me from freezing to death. It is a godsend
I work from home and this fits nicely under my desk and keeps me warm all day without having to put in my heating.
I bought this to have on next to me for some extra heat during cold evenings. It is quite cheap to run, it cuts out when it reaches the required temperature, so is not running constantly. My house is ‘quite’ open plan, so I would imagine a small room would heat up quickly. However, with rising electricity prices, I probably won’t be able to use it very often. Extra blanket and jumper will have to do.
Excellent and sturdy ……looks the part and all the quality controls in place.
Very good radiator. Heats fast and easy controls. I use this on low setting overnight to keep the chill off for pets overnight on cold nights and works very well. Even on low on cold nights it keeps lounge at around 18c. Good value and would recommend. Only slight issue is very noisy for 5 mins when heating the oil from cold. Not sure if mine is not quite right but be aware in case it is normal.
Like all oil filled radiators they take a little time to warm up,definitely love the 2kw works well even in a draf
Does exactly what it says on the box. Virtually no assembly needed – the feet just clip on and it’s ready to go.
Arrived in good time and does exactly what it was needed for.
Arrived a couple of days early so was well impressed. Very easy to assemble. Worked as soon as I plugged it in. Instructions on how to operate are very simple. Love the nifty handle for moving it around. My last heater didn’t have anything like that and I kept burning my fingers when I wanted to move it. This little heater is very powerful and heats my large room perfectly. I work from home and this enables me to stay warm while working, without heating the whole house.
Neat. Efficient.
Inexpensive to buy.
Inexpensive to run.
VERY PLEASED.
This radiator is just the job for heating and average sized room
Don’t want to heat the whole house when working from home. Simple, buy this..
Lovely little heater. Looks great in black and its modern features are a bonus. Heats up well too
It’s small and light enough to be carried in a carrier bag. So you can move it around as required. It’s got a low heat output so it cannot be the main source of heating for a room. A good use would be leave it on all day to give a little extra warmth in a room when the weather is extremely cold.
If you want lots of heat you need to buy something larger and pay more.
It’s stable when the feet are attached. And the heating control is adequate. Seems to switch off when the radiator reaches a temperature not the room.
Overall buy the radiator for what it is and don’t have unrealstic expectations. It does what it says it does.
An inexpensive, unobtrusive oil filled heater. Good output rating for something of this size. Unlike another one we have, this has an on off switch so I can leave it plugged in and turned off until I need it (rather than controlling it via unplugging). Just had it a few weeks, seems to be effective. Let us see how long lasting it is. Had trouble registering it online to get my second year warranty, emailed the company with the picture of the plate (with serial number etc) and someone called me back and told me that I was now registered. Good customer service
Arrived on time, well packaged. Put in garden shed to keep damp out in winter months.
I bought this radiator last year. With weather getting colder, I began to use it again several days ago and feels like I owe it a review. The best thing about this radiator is that it’s really easy to move, whether besides the dining table or in the living room, to add additional warmth to the central heating. It looks small but is powerful. It’s the second year and the radiator works efficiently as it is new. I am very pleased with this purchase.
Fantastic prompt delivery!
My old heater broke & after reading the positive reviews on this one I decided to order one.
I placed my order on the 16th & was told delivery would be 21st. However, to my very happy surprise I received it on the 18th!
Great!
Bought this for a study bedroom that is cold in the winter and prone to damp. Gives out a lot of heat. Glad that I can use it with a timer.
We use it in our conservatory in winter and Autumn. Safe, reliable, inexpensive and warm.
Brillant, quiet, warm up very quick and keeps the room in right temperature
Love it, use it allover my house now whenever I need that boost of hea
Fantastic little heater. Pushes out a fair amount of heat quickly to warm up a small room. Would highly recommend.
Very good for the smaller rooms with a good heat control.
Ideal for little used loft room instead of central heating which is now switched off.
Really happy with the product heats up quickly and is effective.
Overall very pleased with this. More expensive makes of well known brands such as Dimplex and Delonghi may be slightly better quality i have these makes as well. A little bit of difficulty putting feet on best look at picture on box as well as instructions to not make any silly mistakes and lambast yourself as i did. Pleased with it for the price and the longer guarantee than some makes. Controls could have textured surrounds to make easier movement. Would recommend and buy again for similar price differential compared with makes mentioned above, hopefully in the distant future.
This is one powerful bit of kit. Highly recommend for the price.
Great little heater I use it for cold hallway very economical to run very happy with the purchase .
Using in and ntry way not heated, works perfectly fine for our needs. Compact size good and we are able to place it out of the way.
Bought for my granddaughter to take the chill off her bedroom as she has 2 outside walls .she loves it easy warns the room quickly and looks modern and stylish
Great little heater used for our greenhouse to protect our bulbs and seedlings..Just the job
Additional heat to home office. Great for medium sized rooms and without the need to put on the central heating
Great for small spaces, was used on the landing in cold weather. Gives out good heat, but wouldn’t be sufficient as the only or main heat source in a standard room.
Ideal was for my son who is away at Uni Supplement the heat in his house
When it turned up, I expected it to be small. However I was not prepared for how small, it’s incredibly dinky s d would easily fit under a desk etc.
I was worried it wouldn’t be able to heat up a double bedroom, but it does with ease! Impressive little thing.
Absolutely brilliant we have a very cold flat during winter and this is perfect to heat up the bedroom a few hours before going to bed
Good output of heat for such a small heater. I like the ease of movement and that it’s easily stored when not in use. Was disappointed with the shortness of cable.
Pretty decent for a small sized room. Putting on the coaster aren’t too difficult. Heat output is good and the different settings make it useful if you don’t want it up too high
Can’t fault this radiator for looking sleek and keeping off the chill
Best price quality . Can easily warm up a room of 15m2 in 30 minutes.
What can I say but a amazing item keeps me really nice and toasty would 100% recommend and very fast delivery
Really good heat output . Different temprature output excellent. Looks neat and tidy and value for money
Neat , nice looking heater. Heating a chilly room very efficiently on a low setting. Would recommend.
This radiator is a great value for money. My old oil run radiator kept making clicking noises and was quite loud when it was on, made sleeping more of a chore, trying to drift off in between the clicks. But this one runs silent, is a perfect size for a small to mid sized bedroom. Unlike my old radiator this one has a brain, in the sense that it will heat up a room fairly quickly, then once it has reached its optimal output of heat it will turn itself off while maintaining the heat in the room, which is perfect for when I turn it on before bed and fall asleep with it still on, at some point during the night it will have turned itself off to save on electricity and for safety reasons, very clever little radiator.
It has three heat settings, from mild to warm to furnace, with a dial that lets you choose how much heat you want and how quickly it heats up. You should note that the quicker it heats up, the quicker it will turns itself off. It will heat up the room nicely beforehand. It is quite hot to the touch so I wouldn’t recommend placing your bare hands on it, nor any clothing items, it does say not to in the instructions. Moving it isn’t a worry, as it is very light, has wheels and a neat handle on the front so you can position it without burning yourself.
Really happy with this purchase for the cold winter days. I do recommend this to anyone considering to purchase a heater.
Really good value for money!
Looks stylish and has really good heat output, I use it in my conservatory and it keeps it at a comfortable temperature
Excellent buy 11 out of 10
But then I found this oil-filled heater on Amazon Warehouse deals for about 20 – what a steal! This is exactly what I needed.
The first thing I noticed is that on the max (3) power setting, it doesn’t really heat up the room. I think it’s because the thermal cutoff kicks in before it’s properly warm, and/or stays off for too long so it cools down again. The technique I found works flawlessly is to run on max power from cold, and as soon as the top of the fins are too hot to touch I turn it down to the lowest power setting, with the thermostat just over 50%.
At this point, I can just leave it alone all day and it keeps my chilly room comfortably and consistently warm, with low power usage compared to other heaters. Even better, because of the oil’s heat retention, it turns on much more periodically than the alternatives, while still kicking out that lovely warmth regardless.
I also love that it’s on wheels, so you can move it around the house if you need to.
The one thing I would not buy it for is if you are using it as a bedroom heater. Tried it once, and the loud thermal cutoff click woke me up every time, so had to turn it off in the end.
Use it for my mancave. Small but manages to keep my room worm enough.
Works just as well as the old delonghi once did
Excellent radiator for small room .Keeps a steady temp once warmed up .Very portable and easy to use
This heater was excellent. Warms up the room really fast and has a lot of safety features. Turns itself off when the room warms up.
I bought the heater on the basis of previous reviews and have been happy with its performance so far. It seems to warm the room quickly, which is what I wanted.
Easy to use, clear and precise. Very nice heat output, easy temperature control and safety
This is a small (in size) but great little rad re output for my small sunroom! Check the measurements to see if it suits your needs.
It is easy to move around and heats my bedroom (13′ X13′) very well and on a higher setting would heat a bigger room without too much trouble I would imagine. I am very pleased with this purchase.
Great simple heater which I keep on a timed wifi plug so can pre heat my office before going in. I just wish I’d spent a bit more now and got one with a thermostat control so it automatically changes when reaching a certain heat but thats a minor inconvenience as this certainly heats the room! (Its a garden office)
We use this in the conservatory to keep it aired during the winter time. The controls are easy to regulate so very pleased with this
Great value heater that we use in a garage room on a timer. made a big difference.
We have extended our living room, and as a result, there is no heating on the smaller extension we created. I thought this would be a good idea and I was not disappointed in the slightest. You can set it to various temperatures, and once heated to that temp it switches off and again if it falls below it comes back on. My end of the room has never been so warm and snug..
Great , useful , a super source of heat and quite small and compac
Excellent kicks out some real great for my box room office.
Nice and cosy now its cold. Perfect heater for a small room. I have now bought a 9 fin one for another room.
I can’t think of any space that this heater would be able to heat up properly. Just bought it for my tiny room and it is far from enough to warm it up. However, it does what it is supposed to do, and if someone needs it just as a support heater for room with another radiator in it, it might be good. But not enough as the only heater in a room, in this case better look for something bigger.
Lovey heater does the job easy to move around and not heavy so taking it upstairs easy . Really warms up our spare room and the conservatory.
We used this radiator to heat a room while our heating was switched off for a new boiler to be installed. Although the temperature was boardering on freezing we were warm.
My wife needs this to keep the bedroom slightly warm during the night and it works perfectly for that and is silent too unlike many other heaters when you can hear the thermostat clicking.
I needed a heater with a low setting that had an accurate automatic cutoff timer. This works great!
Does exactly what it should and looks good, so very happy.
Initially I was cranking up the heat in the morning and then balancing it back out later in the day, however after some playing around with it, its not necessary. Even the lower heats regulate the room quickly. Also, even though I do put it on before I want to be in that room, it really doesn’t need that long at all. I’ve not noticed much change in my power usage since using it either, not any more the normal heating in the other rooms anyway.
Basically I cannot recommend this heater enough, i love it and on top of everything it looks great too!
This is just amazing my kitchen has ever been so warm. You only need it on low and the heat out put is smazing
We have the thermostat set at just over a quarter on the dial.
It heats up in about 5-10 minutes.
Even at that setting it throws out a good amount of heat, and switches in and out fairley quickly when it reaches temperature.
Just one small problem the power lead is a bit on the short side hence the 4 stars.
But overall a good Buy.
Perfect for what I needed for a small 8x8ft space. Relatively easy to assemble the castor wheels. Very prompt delivery too.
I have used this heater in my conservatory. It is easy to move about. My only negative comment is that the movement is limited by a rather short cable.
Great little heater. Really easy to use, and quick to take the edge of the cold mornings in the conservatory.
Love love loveeee this heater.. Very stylish and great size, makes room nice and warm quickly. Would purchase another one in future.
Only downside delievery was a nightmare and got lost for 2 days.
This heater is the best portable unit I have yet tried, thermostatically controlled, it gives a good background heat for the average room – full marks all round.
An excellent little radiator. Compact size and Heats up our daughters room quickly and efficiently. Thermostat works well to keep warm on cold nights. Reliable and very quiet in use
Very neat radiator and so easy to move around. Wheel assembly not so easy if you have dexterity problems, otherwise, a couple of minutes and done. The heat settings are simple, its just finding the one that suit you. Overall, good value and once everything sort to suit you a practical economic radiator that looks good.
Loved that its black (with red control button) so matched my home!
The heat this gives out is amazing! I’m using it in my front hall, radiating into my bathroom and kitchen. Wow what a smashing cosy difference!
Definitely recommend.
Very easy to assemble and a one person job . Instructions were clear and concise. Gives off a great amount of heat and warms the room up quickly
Great radiator. Even when used on its oen it heats up our large living room in no time.
We live in a bungalow and our open plan lounge / kitchen area is a big space to heat with only 2 radiators in the room which really isn’t enough heat output….saw this radiator , good size and it’s BLACK to suit our decor which is a bonus….it just gives a wee boost that we need and it’s economical to run.
Only been using it for 3 weeks but so far am quite impressed.
