I have been having work down to the house which has meant we had to take the radiators off the walls throughout winter. Whilst I was willing to make a duvet coat and survive on hot water bottles, my visiting family did not want to join in the fun so I duly went and bought one of these plug in heaters. Its great and well worth the money. I can have it on low power, medium heat in my living room and within 20 mins the room is toasty. In fact I have become a bit addicted to this and have been lugging it from living room to my office upstairs each day because I like feeling cosy much more than I like wearing a duvet coat! Havent done a price / energy comparison but i suspect this is probably cheaper than my gas boiler.
Only used it for a short time sp not come up with any faults as ye
The heatoutput on this is amazing it is useful for not just heating rooms, but also for driving out moisture from walls, we had a moisture seepage in our walls and used this heater to take care of it, its amazing.
Very please with the heater – heats up quickly and the three heat settings are very useful.
Cable is very short you really need an extension lead.
Nice and quick to heat up and pumps out a good amount of heat. This has been great during the cold spell in the UK and saved me putting on the full central heating.
Simple to use..the last radiator I bought was sooo complicated to set up I took it back
Plenty of hea
Things that could be improved are the instructions ti put the feet on. It took me a while to work out. Also if you do need to carry it there is only a handle on one side so that’s a bit awkward but I’m really not picking. It’s great!
I’ve just ordered a second one for my mums kitchen.
I have a big front room into my dining room I buy this as I was desperate.
Wow. This is amazing.. heats my room well for the size of room. Love the timer and hope cheaper to use. Theres plenty of heat and is well made. I could only get one black. As o I ordered a second for my box bedroom it’s on offer at the moment.
I would recomend this. Ps makes a nice present.
Easy to move around as it comes on wheels, takes about 5 mins just to set it up.
Update: With the cold weather we have had recently, I’ve found that this radiator isn’t great when the temperature drops below 0. I’ve gone back to using an old convector heater to heat the room up quicker.
Quality piece of kit it really has made a difference for my neighbou
Unfortunately lead is rather too short for mobility ease las clock has to be reset every time it’s unplugged we wanted ours to give additional morning heat in a gabled extension bathroom to be wheeled out during the day, but has to be disconnected each morning and timer set each evening.
So warm that don’t need it on long at all / heats up room very quickly
What a great little radiator. Keeping us cozy and warm while doing a self build so living in a static caravan. Timer works well and if left on on a low settting just keeps the chill off the room or can put temp up in evening when need heat.
Heats up really fast and keeps my living room warm. If I needed another heater I would buy this again.
The heating system is far quicker than what I was thinking of an oil-filled heater.
Only minor annoyance is when it gets hot at low power, the expansion makes a consistent clicking. It’s only annoying when you are in the same room, but would probably make it annoying in a bedroom.
We’ve had to deploy this heater a few times due to a boiler coming to the end of its life and becoming more and more unreliable.
The room heater on the other hand is working perfectly every time. There are limits to the amount of room space that can be heated with one unit but every room/area we have used it in has been kept at a decent temperature compared to the otherwise unheated rest of the house.
I can recommend this, especially over fan type heaters as this oil heater does not cause any noise and provides even heat in all directions. You can dry clothes on it or near it (which is otherwise impossible in an unheated, cold space). I would not necessarily recommend this for prolonged use as the energy consumption is quite high – this does not replace your central heating but it can help you manage through a boiler breakdown etc. very nicely.
Very pleased with this radiator. I must say I wasn’t sure which make, size or output that I wanted to heat my lounge but I bit the bullet and, at this point in time, I made the right choice. It takes the chill off the room first thing in the morning and late afternoon and saves putting the heating on until you want the whole house heated – which since I’ve had this radiator I haven’t put the heating on in my bungalow. I don’t mind a cold bedroom. I hope this helps the undecided!
Between the two radiators our house has been kept at a comfortable temperature 24/7 for 7 days before the boiler was fixed with low single digit temperatures outside day & night. They passed the test running at half max power onced the house warmed up again !
These are powerful oil-filled radiators using a max output of 2.5kw/hr each when using electricty so aren’t cheap to run on max power (especially right now) but they do have 3 selective heat outputs so you don’t have to run them at max only, they also have an adjustable temperature thermostat, so it’s best to play with both controls initially to get the right balance. Also consider position within a room or building for efficiency.
Summery:
Heat output: Very high due to the max 2.5kw power capablity.
Functions: Selective power out; off & 3 levels, adjustable thermostat & 24 hr multi-selective on/off timer.
Size: On the larger side but these are in proportion for their high heat output.
Weight: These can be carried but do have a little weight because of the size & materials used in them.
Noise level: None apart from a very low level background click from the thermostat turning on/off.
Instant heat output: No. Use a fan heater for that. These are radiators, unlike fan heaters these will warm up just like the domestic radiators around the house & will continue to radiate heat after they have turned off.
Small observations:
We have the black ones and these devices, as other similar and smaller ones do also, will get very hot to the touch when on, just be aware of this with younger children around and location proximity.
One complaint:
The U-clamps that hold the wheel brackets to the radiator have weak threads or bad wing nuts, or both so the wheels cannot be tighened up properly. both of ours came with weak or almost non-existant ability to hold the brackets to the radiator due to this issue. Given these radiators should not be directly positioned on the floor without some kind of spacing, such as wheels, this is disappointing. Manufacturer please address this issue.
Other than that last comment, my personal experience is that I highly recommend these, they aren’t the smallest/lightest/cheapest devices, but if you want heat, they certainly deliver !
I bought this really as a standby in case of any gas supply issues.
But, I have actually used it often, instead of using central heating as it is easily
capable of heating the main living rooms ( especially during the day when
the upstairs is not being used much.
I would thoroughly recommend this heater, and am tempted to get a second one for
use upstairs !
I can’t give you the tech specs, but the timer is OK. The only thing is you either have it on timer or you have it on manual. I can’t see how to keep the timer on and then override it. It makes our conservatory warm in winter very quickly. It is a decent all-year-round conservatory built in 2020. It could probably heat much of our downstairs (five reception rooms, detached house, if need be. Would recommend. More than does the job for our conservatory.
As I have a smart meter I can see the costs of using the heater and it’s expensive so when our heatings fixed this will only be used in emergencies.
It does warm the room up quickly so it’s good
I bought this radiator because my normal wall mounted one has broken down, and I live is a small studio flat and the room I need to heat is about 16m square, and I live in a block of flats in London UK. I have had the unit for about a month now, and I find this unit provides all the heat I need and without having to be set on it maximum setting. The most useful feature is the timer function. Normally in this day and age I would expect a digital timer – but this radiator uses a simple mechanical set of very small dip switches arranged in a circular clockface pattern. There are four switches per hour (96 switches in total) meaning that you can precisely control whether the heater is on or off every 15 minutes throughout the entire 24 hour day. Initially I thought that the mechanical nature of this feature was a cheap cost cutting exercise. In fact I think it is brilliant – it is dead simple, very quick to adjust, completely intuitive, giving you a totally customisable heating profile for the entire 24 hour day. This is far quicker than stepping though a menu system when you have to set the start and stop times in a digital clock – and then you are likely to be restricted in the number of controllable periods available to be set. The method used by this radiator is so much better that there is no comparison. You can easily adjust it on a daily basis if you wanted to – to take into account if the forecast for the day is cold meaning – for example – that you want to have the heater off during the night but wake up a little earlier than usual to take off the early morning chill. I also set it going for an hour in the middle of the night to help prevent the temperature dropping too low by about 4:00am. Recommended.
I purchased this as my central heating stopped working just as the snow started to fall with no sign of gas central heating company getting out to me any time soon plus the temperatures dropped. I stood it in front of one of my radiators & not only did it heat the room it warmed up the radiator too, keeping the temperature a little more bearable. It may have been nearly 100 but it was money well spent. Easy to put the feet on if a little heavy to lift on your own. It’s quite maneuverable but be careful & keep away from children as it gets Very Hot! I would give it 20 if I could & thank goodness it arrived a day early. Well done to Pro Breeze & distributors from a warmer, grateful consumer.
I need new radiators (they’re originals, I think, and clogged up with sludge) but it’s been too cold to do without them altogether while they’re replaced and COVID lockdown hasn’t helped with getting someone out either. I bought this in desperation because I was so cold every evening, even though I was permanently wrapped in blankets to watch TV.
This radiator has been a total Godsend. I put it on for an hour this evening which was enough to lift the temperature in the room (19x12ft) from 20C to 24C. Too hot for some, granted, but I’m disabled and need it. Half an hour at most to 22.5C would probably have been plenty for the majority of people. It’s been switched off for hours now and I’m still snug and warm.
I won’t comment on the timer function yet as I just switch it on when I need a boost and, frankly, I neither know nor care very much whether it’s the most energy efficient heater on the market. My bills will eventually tell the story, but just one hour versus central heating on all day to reach no more than 21.5C has got to be an improvement.
The pluses are that it arrived within 2 days of ordering, putting the castors on was a doddle making it easy to move around, especially on a hard floor, and the most difficult part for me was sliding it out of the box on my own as it’s oil filled and heavy.
I’m very happy with it as it does exactly what I bought it for. It will also be easy to store in a wardrobe for the summer.
This is one of the most efficient heaters I’ve ever bought. You can choose how many kilowatt you use which is useful. Most of the time I use 1kw, with the thermostat turned just under half way and this heats my sitting room/dining room very effectively. This has wheels so it can be moved. The only down is that it does tend to click – I thought that would go with use but it continues to click as the thermostat turns it back on. I can’t hear it over the TV but it might be annoying in a bedroom for light sleepers.
Edit – I spoke to Pro Breeze support directly and they very quickly offered a replacement after I sent them evidence of the fault. Excellent customer service. I fully recommend this radiator.
I bought this radiator a little over 4 months ago and up until about 3/4 days ago it has been working well. All of a sudden though it has started making an electrical buzzing noise whenever the termostat turns it off. Now I find that it won’t even turn on. I’ve got to admit, I’d have expected this product to last a little longer than 4 months and will be seeking to either return it for a full refund or get it replaced.
Brilliant bit of kit for size.
Our open fire needed repairs and we were without proper downstairs heating other than useless storage heaters. This little unit is not enough to melt my face when used in the sitting room if powered up on full blast as I did when first testing it. A little faffing with the thermostat, and reducing to power 2 instead of three and my face was saved. I’ve ended up moving it nearer the hall doorway to heat up the stairs as this is efficient enough to cope with that need too.
Timer is very simple to set up and I can heat the living room early enough to warm it for when I get up at 5.30. Powers off again at 6.20 when I leave then back on in time to rewarm our cold room for the Mrs when she gets up at 8.30. Lazy bitch .
It is almost redundant now the open fire is fixed but it’s nice to have it as a back up, and I still use it for the morning blasts before leaving for work.
It is quite expensive to run as are all electrical heaters, but if you want yer face melting this is the bit of kit you’re after.
ORIGINAL HEADLINE: 2.5 months in, produces severe smell of burning plastic. Now unusable. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I’ve used this moderately since the it’s purchase end of Feb 2020. Last week it started reproducing this smell like burnt plastic, which has got considerably worse since to the point now where I can’t use it. It stinks of plastic burning and chemicals within 30 seconds of turning it on. The smell is coming directly from behind the control panel where all the wires are hidden. I can’t use it anymore and has to be chucked. I get it was less then 60, but I’d expect to last a year at least.
I truly reccomend the Pro Breeze oil filled radiator. It’s worth it every single penny
I’m very happy to say that this heater (which admittedly is 2.5 times more powerful than the old one) heats up in a fraction of the time and retains heat very well. I am using a smart plug with thermostat to control the heater and it comes on for just five minutes at a time when the temperature drops below 18oC and turns off when the temperature is grater than 18.5oC – in reality (due to the size of the room and the location of the temperature probe) the temperature reaches around 22oC before it turns off, but that is still a 4oC raise in temperature in just over five minutes.
The heater is coming on once to twice every two hours for just five minutes a time – so the combination of insulation in the summer house, and the efficiency/heat retention of the heater means the heat loss over the two hour period is around 4oC which I think is excellent. At current electricity rates, this is working out at around 45p per day (assuming one five minute cycle 12 times a day, or every 2 hours).
For those less inclined to use smart devices to control the heater, it comes with builtin controls and an analog timer switch for doing so but as I am not using them, I cannot comment on them (I leave the heater permanently on and on full power and let the smart plug do the switching).
Update – now in March and been using three of these all winter. Had all on number 1 and mid way on the temp dial. Living room, hallway and bedroom. Kept our house really warm and had them all on 24/7. Costs us the same as using the storage heaters which warmed the house for a few hours then were freezing cold after a while. Still very happy.
**UPDATE Oct 2019** still going good, still happy. Value for money.
**UPDATE Sept 2021** still happy! In use all the time!
Very pleased with the purchase. Go for it.
