Looks Stylish
Heats up my room which is about 25m. I do have a it close to me though. Does not take long to warm up and its cost effective. I’ve been using it for well over a year now.
VERY PLEASED
Neat. Efficient.
Inexpensive to buy.
Inexpensive to run.
VERY PLEASED.
Brilliant little radiato
This radiator is just the job for heating and average sized room
Spot on for a small office
Don’t want to heat the whole house when working from home. Simple, buy this..
Dinky yet effective
Lovely little heater. Looks great in black and its modern features are a bonus. Heats up well too
Background heate
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.
So far it does the job
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
Oil filled radiato
Arrived on time, well packaged. Put in garden shed to keep damp out in winter months.
easy to move and warm
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.
Great heater very warm
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!
Seems to be good value
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.
Great small space heate
We use it in our conservatory in winter and Autumn. Safe, reliable, inexpensive and warm.
Didn't last long
Purchased in January, only used a handful of times, today its stopped working. Under the consumer rights law, a faulty electrical product can be returned within 12 months, even if you no longer have the packaging, Amazon very helpful and sent me a prepaid royal mail print to return and refund.
Brillia
Brillant, quiet, warm up very quick and keeps the room in right temperature
Gets warm quick
Love it, use it allover my house now whenever I need that boost of hea
Great purchase
Fantastic little heater. Pushes out a fair amount of heat quickly to warm up a small room. Would highly recommend.
Great for small rooms
Very good for the smaller rooms with a good heat control.
Value
Ideal for little used loft room instead of central heating which is now switched off.
Good price
Really happy with the product heats up quickly and is effective.
Good value product that i bought because other appliances of this make have served us well
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.
Excelle
This is one powerful bit of kit. Highly recommend for the price.
Great value for money
Great little heater I use it for cold hallway very economical to run very happy with the purchase .
Nice and Easy
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.
Modern and stylish
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
Russell Hobbs oil filled Rad
Great little heater used for our greenhouse to protect our bulbs and seedlings..Just the job
Small spaces only!
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.
Warm & efficie
Additional heat to home office. Great for medium sized rooms and without the need to put on the central heating
Good price. works well and is warm for its size
Really good little radiator. Easy to use and very portable with a temperature dial and cut off when it reaches temperature. Warms the motorhome up nicely and keeps the damp out.
On full power the finns are hot to touch and it is a proper job. Recommended for smallish spaces or to keep the chill off bigger rooms etc.
Small heate
Ideal was for my son who is away at Uni Supplement the heat in his house
Small, but mighty!
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.
Fab
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
Needs longer cable
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.
Decent oil heate
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
Sleek and warm!
Can’t fault this radiator for looking sleek and keeping off the chill
Very good !
Best price quality . Can easily warm up a room of 15m2 in 30 minutes.
Dont think just buy worth i
What can I say but a amazing item keeps me really nice and toasty would 100% recommend and very fast delivery
It’s very nea
Really good heat output . Different temprature output excellent. Looks neat and tidy and value for money
Great little heate
Neat , nice looking heater. Heating a chilly room very efficiently on a low setting. Would recommend.
Excellent Radiator!
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.
Keeps the chill off my office
Brought this for my outside office, it’s ok but to get a decent amount of heat out of it it has to be on high for ages.
The feet were a bit fiddly to put on had to ask my brother to bring some tools round to put them on for me.
Excellent heater.
Really happy with this purchase for the cold winter days. I do recommend this to anyone considering to purchase a heater.
Perfect heate
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
I work from home in a fairly small office room that faces away from the sun, so is especially cold around this time of year. I have built-in convector heaters which cost a fortune to run, and ended up opting for localised heating in the room with a fan heater. As ever, the problem with that is that it’s stinking hot while it’s on, and then the moment the thermostat kicks in and turns it off, the room is freezing cold again.
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.
Good value
Good value. The radiator is efficient, even in the past few days when the temperature dropped, we have NOT had to use at its highest settings. Temperature control and hear output are easy to use. Would recommend this product.
First of all, you get what you pay for! It’s the dinkiest little radiator you will find, but I did select the 5 fin specifically for that reason. I’m that annoying person in the office that is always cold. This is small and compact so fits under my desk perfectly. However, be aware it is very cheaply made. I had to send the first back because the front wasn’t attached to the radiator and would not clip on. This one has come fine, although the front foot will not stay on, as soon as you move it, it tends to fall off. Apart from this works perfectly fine for what I need it for!
Good
Use it for my mancave. Small but manages to keep my room worm enough.
heat up a small room really well
bought 3 of these for my disabled daughter whose central heating stopped working when the boiler broke down. one each in 2 bedrooms and lounge on 24 hours kept her bungalow warm for 5 days before heating was fixed. They give out a lot of heat , are small and don’t cost much to run.
Remarkable job
Works just as well as the old delonghi once did
Good performe
Excellent radiator for small room .Keeps a steady temp once warmed up .Very portable and easy to use
Excellent product.
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.
Warms the room quickly
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.
portable and great heat outpu
his is excellent, I bought one of these for my elderly mum, she only has storage heaters, one was broken and as she non mobile was difficult to keep her warm, order this it came quickly, fantastic heat out put, so she lot warmer also great its on wheels so it’s portable
Serving its purpose
Using it to keep my garage with my motorbike collection warm, preserving battery life and minimising rusting.
The thermostat is on max and it has a cut out when heater is getting to hot.
All working well so fa
Purchased two of these for my elderly dad who lives in sheltered accommodation with E7 heating which is 30 years old and not an adequate heat source for his age anymore. He was constantly complaining he was cold come 3pm and into the evening when the E7 output wore off. So, I purchased two of these Russell Hobbs Oil Filled Radiators for him. One for his living room and one for his bedroom. The difference has been amazing, and they are easy to use and cheap to run, we can see via the smart meter for the electricity that they are barely using much electric at all. Happy dad who is now warm of an evening and a happy daughter who is not worrying about her dad freezing in his flat. In fact I believe two of his neighbours have since bought these after my recommendation.
Nice heate
Easy to use, clear and precise. Very nice heat output, easy temperature control and safety
This is a great little heater – I bought the 1.5kW 7-fin radiator in black for my flat where the electric heating is just too expensive to have on constantly during the colder months in lockdown. This little radiator is perfect to leave on for hours with only half the impact on my electricity usage and really helps to warm the flat up. HOWEVER. I bought this one specifically because I thought it was so great to have a 2 year guarantee with a product like this. When I went to register for this guarantee on the Russell Hobbs website as instructed in the leaflet that comes with the product, I found that the 1.5kW 7-fin radiator wasn’t listed as an option to register (there were other types of this radiator in a higher spec, but not this one). Having contacted Russell Hobbs to query that my radiator was missing from the list, they told me that they do not offer a guarantee on these radiators and that I would need to contact a separate company to try and obtain the 2 year guarantee and that they would not be honouring this themselves and would not take any accountability for this. Really, really disappointed. Great product, but shocking customer service.
Super little radiato
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.
Russel Hobbs oil filled heater.
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 Heater for the price
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)
Perfect for what I needed
I bought this to keep in the shed for my cat in the winter. He has this on all night and snuggles up on his beanbag. When I go in to get him in the morning it’s a nice temperature in there even if freezing outside.
Excelle
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
Great value heater that we use in a garage room on a timer. made a big difference.
Nice radiato
Nice little radiator, it throws out quite a bit of heat. Adjustable controls and regulates itself.
The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is the occasional noises it makes. There not very loud just annoying.
So would I buy another one?
YES, I would recomend it.
Good job
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..
It works
Great , useful , a super source of heat and quite small and compac
Warns my office quickly and constantly.
Excellent kicks out some real great for my box room office.
Super warm.
Nice and cosy now its cold. Perfect heater for a small room. I have now bought a 9 fin one for another room.
Safe heate
Have got 2 of these heaters for our bedrooms, leave 1 onlow in the spare bedroom in this cold weather to keep it aired. The other 1 is in our main bedroom again on low which keeps the chill off as we don’t like a hot bedroom. Would definitely recommend
Great Produc
Great product: heats up quickly, effective and easy to move around due to castors and handle.
On the downside: the indicator on the temperature control knob has no visible ‘pointer’ making it difficult to see where on the guide it is pointing. It has an ‘indented’ pointer which can be felt with the fingertip but it cannot easily be seen.
Not enough hea
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.
Good value
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.
Russell Hobbs 7 fin oil filled heate
Brought this for back up heating as I have storage heaters. Not a bad little heater, looks good and easy to use, though they say that they are cheap to run I wouldn’t use it as a main heater. Not bad for the price though.
Good heat outpu
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.
Great produc
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.
Performs exactly like I needed i
I needed a heater with a low setting that had an accurate automatic cutoff timer. This works great!
My office in my house is the only room without heating, so I bought this purely for that purpose, and its perfect. In the morning I turn it on about 30-60 minutes before I start working and close the door and by the time I get in the room is perfect.
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!
Stylish and practical
Does exactly what it should and looks good, so very happy.
We purchased this heater as I liked the ability to use a low wattage output when it isn’t too cold out to save on our electric bill. We have economy 7 heating which is next to useless especially during the lockdowns this year, heat only comes on in the evenings. We decided to save the high electric bills and just use this heater when needed.
Totally amazed how hot it gets on the low setting and not even set to max! In fact on recent cold evenings we had to turn it off as we were too hot in the living room. We were so happy we purchased another one for our bedroom.
Looks good, economical and fast heat up. What’s not to like? Also 2 yr warranty is a great comfort.
It's just amazing
This is just amazing my kitchen has ever been so warm. You only need it on low and the heat out put is smazing
Warms up a small room quickly
Warms up quickly and provides plenty of heat for a small room. The metal that holds the wheels appears a bit light weight but if it’s sitting in the same place most of the time it’s fine.
This for our Bedroom which is not all that large, at the moment we are using it on the lowest heat setting , with the weather being on the mild side for the time of the year.
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.
Great little heater, bought it to keep the chill off in Autumn days instead of using the boiler, only have it on med. setting and it keeps an average size room cosy for me.
Easy to put together, and work out how to use. I like the wheels, making it easier to move to another room if needed.
5***** from me.
Great heat, tidy size
Perfect for what I needed for a small 8x8ft space. Relatively easy to assemble the castor wheels. Very prompt delivery too.
Oil filled radiato
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.
Fab heate
Great little heater. Really easy to use, and quick to take the edge of the cold mornings in the conservatory.
Great heater!!!!
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.
I wanted a simple to use heater to put in our holiday rental, and I like this heater very much – it looks good, is quite compact and belts out plenty of heat. Robust build and easy to use.
Best radiator I have ever bough
Bought this for my behind the counter staff on the shop floor as a supplementary source of heat to keep them warm on winter days. It has been an excellent purchase, and I imagine it would heat the average size living room very satisfactorily. You can always rely on Russell Hobbs to make good quality, reliable products .
Very efficient heater, economical in use.
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.
Bought for utility room in garage to keep warm. Have it on 600w setting and dial turned on about a 3rd of the way. Keeps the room at a nice 20c.
Great little radiato
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
Need patience to get the heat setting right for you
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.
This Russell Hobbs oil filled radiator has 7fins that give you heat within minutes once it turned on. There is 3 settings 600. 900. 1.5watts. there is a heat control setting with thermostats so it turns off when it reaches the temperature you set too & comes back on as the room cools . It’s easy to assemble just look at the booklet that comes with it & follow the instructions to put the wheels in place . I love it. Best heater I’ve ever had.
Smart little thing with just 2 castor feet to attach.
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.
I bought this product to heat up a rather chilly dining room over the colder months. The heater works perfectly, heats the room quickly and the black colour looks stylish. I like that it has 3 heat settings so you can get the perfect temperature. I would definitely recommend this produc
Oil filled radiato
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.
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.
Heater warms up quickly and has a good output of heat to fill my office. Nice and smart in appearance. Would recommend to others and buy again if another is needed
looks very smart, was apprehensive about ordering this in black but it looks great. only disappointment is the length of the cable. All these appliances seem to have the same cable length which is just a few inches short of what I would like
Bought to take the evening chill off my conservatory.
Only been using it for 3 weeks but so far am quite impressed.
