Great heater. Pumps out a lot of heat quite quickly. From cold takes about 5 minutes before big heat storm is obtained. Haven’t tried out the timer yet.
Attaching the wheels was the tricky part for me, as the instructions aren’t all that clear, but even I worked it out.
Packaging-wise, it’s a very large but thin cardboard box with two polystyrene things to keep it in place. Luckily the polystyrene didn’t break into those annoying tiny chunks you sometimes get.
Great produc
Great radiator bought this for a garden pub , heatings great , timer works well for economy great customer service from supplier as well
Great radiato
Product wheels were very easy to fit. Timer relatively easy to set up but think the ‘current time’pointer should be at ’12 o’clock’ and easier to read.
Bought three of these to turn off gas central heating radiators in bedrooms. We have solar panels so trying to use them more effectively. Not sure how successful that’s been yet but they heat a bedroom very easily.
Nothing to dislike, looks good & most importantly does what it says & a good price too
Within minutes of receiving my order, I ordered a second of these radiators.
It heats up in a couple of minutes after plugging in, and gives off much more heat than I ever would have imagined.
Left it on the medium heat setting for 5 minutes in a cold bedroom, and the room went from unpleasantly cold to warm and cosy.
The timer function is great, I no longer have to wake up to a stone cold bedroom.
Best thing I have purchased in years. Wish I’d done it sooner.
Whilst the radiator did what it was supposed to, the timer being a great additional feature. The radiator started smoking so we turned it off and contacted the company. Although the warranty was expired by 12 months the company went above and beyond and exchanged it without question. Fantastic!!
Set only to the medium and put on the timer, it’s a great heater. Quiet and heats very well. Very happy with my purchase.
A quality product, great heat output, and easy to move between rooms. Will put my electric bill up, but saves on the gas central heating. Can heat individual rooms where working rather than the whole house. Timer essential too.
Good product. Allows you to set a timer to come on and off which works well for me as I get cheaper electricity at certain times of the day. Gives off a decent amount of heat, even on the medium setting.
I live in a small studio flat which is all electric. I didn’t want to run the heaters in the property so bought this oil filled one. It basically emits enough heat to warm the small space I live in.
Two things would improve this though – a longer electrical cord (it’s quite short!) – and a less fiddly way of setting the timer. My eyesight isn’t great and when I’m bent over to the side trying to see the clock/timer function it’s not the easiest thing for me to do. Other than that, I’d recommend for a small space.
Excelle
I can use this instead of putting my heating on, very useful
Easy to set up and use.
Great little radiator. Does what it says heats up roomquickly
Great heater makes the room really warm
Used this in my lounge to save me putting my heating on before I went to work,made the room nice and warm
Oil heate
I’m very happy with my purchase.
I hope just it doesn’t consume too much electricity.
gives comfortable heat but need to know size of room to get correct radiator.
easily moved about although electric cord could be longer. Certainly gives good warmth and saves on gas.
recommend this radiato
Satisfied with purchase
Satisfied with purchase. Arrived on time by helpful delivery man. Working as described.
The thermostat turns the heater off when the temperature you want is reached, so cuts out over electricity waste / cost.
Heats up quickly
This oil filled radiator heats up really quickly and turned off still emits quite a bit of heat and having a timer is such a good idea.
I bought this heater over a year ago and have been so impressed I kept meaning to leave a review because it deserves one.
The heater takes very little time to heat up a room even on the lower settings. I use it at work in a very old building and pleasently surprised by it’s ability and power. I only use this heater now to heat the room (instead of electric heaters on the wall) and it works out perfectly. Much more energy efficient to run. Timer never fails to come as set.
Brilliant product for a very reasonable price, highly recommend.
I have it in my hall and it takes the chill of all the surrounding rooms
Nothing to dislike. Easy to fit wheels , the radiator was up and running in no time at all. Great for individual rooms and quick to heat up. Thermostat, heat settings and timer all straight forward to operate. Might buy another one.
Easily set up
I do not know if it is economical yet but it certainly heats our large living room right into the kitchen. No need for anything else
Oil filled Radiato
We made this purchase for our caravan as we expect that there will be a shortage of bottled gas.
We have used it a few times to quickly heat the caravan up and it has been fantastic.
It is such a great heater and I would recommend it to anyone.
Found it easy to fit the wheels and the manoeuverability is very good. It heats up very quickly and radiates the heat well. I am yet to have an electricity bill since I have used it so I cannot tell you about the economy.
Radiato
Good heater, I am pleased with it. I use it in a small cold room which has made it warm and comfortable.
Great heate
Light easy to move and heats the room up very quickly. Very happy with this purchase.

Brilliant heate
Tried others in past and oil heaters are definitely the better option. This one is brilliant, really good. It heats up quickly and will warm a room and keep warm/hot in not time (compared to other fan heaters etc). I’ll be getter another.
Well worth the price
Great product heats up my small front room now I can switch off the central heating save a bit on gas great price just the right size

a bit late sending this review,..but wanted to trial it first and give overall review.
When I researched initially, I was almost put off buying one irrespective of brand because several people had had some disasters. In the end the cold beat me and had to get one. I can honestly say it’s been absolutely fine. it was well packaged. All you do is add the wheels and plug in – heats up quickly.
if you have it on the hottest setting even for a shortish time, it eats electricity. I found having it on low/medium for tick over from 08.00 til 16.00 it costs just over a 1 a day to run.
yep I’d recommend
Best Buy
I’ve tried all kinds of heaters. Most have a limited affect and either burn out or break This radiator keeps the room lovely and warm. I find the radiator itself doesn’t stay warm after switching off. But more importantly the room does. Really glad I bought this.

PureMate Oil Filled Radiator, 2500W/2.5KW - 11 Fin - Portable Electric Heater.
It is very easy to move to where it is needed, and the controls are easy to operate.
We are please we decided to spend a little more and get the more powerful version!
Fantastic heate
Great heater. I have a 7 sq. m garden building and this keeps it really warm. In fact it gets too warm on the highest setting. Looks great too and the timer is great. Highly recommend it.
Love this radiato
I had purchased one of these before, after having it for almost a year i purchased another one. I have one in the living room and 1 in my sons room. My sons room is very big , this radiator warms are with in seconds which then warms up the room very fast, totally reccomend
Great Heate
A good heater, works very well.
Thermostat function is good as it can be left on during the night and it won’t run all night.
We use it in a small room and don’t find the need to use it at full capacity. Level 1 or Level 2 max, as it heats the room up in 10-15 mins and then maintains it well.

I bought this heater in January. Just switched it on today (November) and flames came out of the control panel. If I hadn’t been in the room there could have been a serious fire. I am giving this five stars as if I give it one star potential customers are unlikely to see this review This is a dangerous product. Do not buy it. Scroll.down to the one star reviews, mine is not the only one to go on fire. I have reported it to trading standards

No-nonsense time
I am very pleased with this radiator.
It produces a pleasant, natural warmth unlike an electric fan heater.
It is also much quieter than an electric fan heater.
What drew me to this particular product was the timer: a simple 24 hour timer that can be set manually to come on and go off at preset times. The timer also has a 3-position switch: On (overides the timer); Off; and Timer.
Radiator good valve for the money, heats up fast and throws out a lot of heat. Very good buy.
Bought this oil filled radiator to go in a back room extension as it gets very cool in the winter. Best item I’ve bought in a long while. The radiator heats up in no time at all and throws out loads of heat which is controlled by a thermostat which turns itself on and off when required resulting in lovely hot back room. Very happy with this product and would highly recommend it.
Great Modern Replaceme
This PureMate 2500W Oil Filled Radiator replaced an ancient one that had done many years of great service. However, with a few more fins and more features you can really feel the difference. It is the only radiator in my office and the only one I need.
I have a really outdated panel heater in my bedroom which always smells of burning when turning on, sparks at the plug and the timer doesn’t work. My bedroom is really really cold in the winter so we had no choice but to turn it on a couple hours before bed and then turn off before going to sleep BUT was waking up absolutely freezing in the morning. Sometimes so cold the covers actually felt wet. I ordered this heater after doing a fair bit of research and was impressed with the functions and the price. It arrived very quickly and was easy enough to set up. The instructions probably could have been a bit clearer about how to get the legs on. I figured it out, but it really wasn’t that obvious. Instructions fine for everything else though. Timer works brilliantly. I was really struggling to find a heater at a decent price that would come on and off rather than one or the other. This is really easy to set so I set it to come on a couple hours before bed and switch off just after our usual bedtime, then come back on about 5.30am ready for morning. I don’t have it on full heat and it really warms the room up perfectly. Sometimes, I’m actually a bit hot in the morning now! I would highly recommend it.
This little radiator kept my conservatory nice and warm but then sadly stopped working. The company sent a replacement the next day – excellent service – and the new one is doing its job beautifully. Highly recommended.
This product is so good.
Time to heat up radiator is fast.
Heat emitted was very good.
Thermostat, once set, clicks on and off until temperature required is reached.
3 ranges of temperature and control for as many on and offs as you would need in 24hours.
Radiator has great styling. Sleek. Would sit nicely in any room or area.
Radiator Fins are extremely efficient.
Portability with its handle and smooth running casters were ideal for me – as in the cold weather could easily manouvre the product to where I needed it the most.
Gas Central Heating failed. Engineers weren’t able to come for weeks (Covid-19 crisis) so because I was extremely pleased with the product, I purchased three more.
Customer Help Desk were exceptional when I had one query to resolve.
Emailed replies were courteous and speedy,,,,,. and resolved
My dealings with the PureMate team was a pleasure.
Customer Service team were top notch and would certainly be a returning customer.

Kept us warm in an emergency
Our central heating failed over the New Year and we bought two of these to keep warm while we wait for a replacement boiler to be fitted. They are very effective at warming our living room and kitchen and the timer means we can get everything toasty before we get up in the morning. They are so much more effective than fan heaters and the thermostat is very good maintaining an even temperature efficiently.
My only tiny grumble is that the power cord is rather short (about 1.5 metres) so you have to place it close to socket which limits manoeuvrability, unless you use an extension cable.
Finally got rid of my fan heater and opted for this oil filled radiator. I’m very impressed so far, it heats my flat up quickly, the warm air is much more pleasant than that blown out by a convection heater, more akin to central heating and it maintains a level of warmth after turning off for a nice amount of time. Assembly was very easy, just the wheels to attach and no tools required, very manoeuvrable. The unit is an impressive size and seems well able to cope with my large living room, hall, bathroom and kitchen (bedroom has a separate wall heater). The radiator is totally silent too which is another plus over a fan based heater. It seems very well made and sturdy and as I’m working from home due to the you know what; it will be interesting to see what happens to my fuel consumption. I haven’t used the timer but it looks pretty straightforward, I may play with it on the weekend. I highly recommend this product.

Works really well.
Warms up an area really quickly. Easy to set up and use. You dont have to use the timer like some models, although it does have one. Just turn the thermostat down a fraction once at desired temperature then it keeps the room at that temperature until you turn it off. Great heater love it.
gives great hea
So we got this for the wife to do her drawings in the conservatory after she’d been using a conventional air heater blower one. I noticed with the smart meter the electric had gone past the weekly budget that was set, with the new PureMate radiator on the coldest week of the winter so far i have already seen a 10 decrease on the smart meter. Overall very impressed with the oil filled rad. Heats up quick and the timer function is a great idea. If there is any criticism of the unit i feel the wheels could be a slightly bigger but wouldn’t stop me from buying another. A*
A new best (Pure)mate.
I live in a large mobile home & was needing a heater for the living room over the winter. Having got a smaller one for the bedrooms I opted for a larger one & came across this,it’s not the cheapest available but I’m very much “you get what you pay for “it arrived before the allotted time on the day of delivery & was left as per delivery instructions it was also tucked out of the rain-nice thought.Simple to assemble & operate,has a good quality feel & look & construction. A bit of experimenting with the heat settings & thermostat to balance it to the room & even though its -2 outside its maintaining a comfortable 16 degrees inside without being on maximum or hammering the living daylights out of the electric meter! Highly recommended-thank you.

PureMate Oil Filled Radiato
This product was ordered and delivered inside 24 hours and was unpacked and running within 15 minutes of receipt. For its size, the heat output is excellent and far better than another radiator that I own and the timer is very easy to operate. I can highly recommend this product to anyone thinking of purchasing a similar radiator.
Well-built and very effective heater.
Great heat output. Well made and attractive shade of grey. Two slight glitches but neither reduce the review of 5 stars: There is a review elsewhere where the owner cannot turn on the heater and he has videoed his problem – I suspect the problem lies with the tiny red sliding switch in the middle of the timing dial – it is used to set the timer but one position turns the heater off (the instruction booklet highlights this in bold print); secondly, there is no pilot light to indicate the heating elements are on – the light that does illuminate merely indicates the situation with the thermostat and lights when the mains plug is on irrespective of whether or not the heating switch is on or off – it means there is no visual check from a distance that the heating switch is in the on position. But overall a very good and well-built appliance. I made a repeat purchase which speaks volumes.

Very pleased!
I am very please with my unit. The timer function is perfect for me as my room is very cold, and I need it to be warm during the night, but not to the point of making me and my baby uncomfortable, so I love the fact I can pre choose when the unit will turn itself on.
Customer Support has also been excellent, and a faulty unit was replaced immediately.
Superb.
Very efficient radiator wonderfully warm
I received my order but unfortunately there were 2 broken timer pins. I phoned the supplier who arranged to send a replacement which arrived within a couple of days including a returns label for the original. I was very impressed with the customer service response in particular the courteous friendly manner of the lady I spoke to on the phone. The heater itself is ideal heats up quickly and noiselessly. I would have no hesitation in dealing with this company in future.
Qulity product, excellent customer service
I am very pleased with the purchase. The radiator is quiet, heats up fast and the timer is simply to use. It has the tilt protection feature which makes a balancing sound when you move the radiator. That makes sense once you realize it, but when I first started to use the radiator, I did not know what is it, so I called the customer service. The guy on the phone was extremely efficient and gave me clear instructions what to do to get a speedy customer service response. Their response time is 24hrs, but they responded much faster. Luckily, in the meantime, my boyfriend looked at it and said that it is the anti-tilt device which moves, when I move the radiator, which is of course doing what it was designed for! I hope that you will enjoy this product as much as we do!

OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE
I have two of these wonderful little heaters and they really do warm the place up beautifully. I bought the last one in November and only after a few weeks noticed an oil leak… thinking about it, there had been an oil mark on the box which I had ignored. I just phoned the customer service department and they are amazing. I’ll be getting a replacement by end of week without the slightest question. I rate PUREMATE very very highly on product quality and most of all OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Although I had a problem with my radiator after a few weeks, which was not great, the customer service was exceptional. My issue was dealt with swiftly and without any fuss which is all I could have asked for. Otherwise the heater has been very good, the timer is basic but works fine, heat output is adequate for the room I am heating (12ft x 12ft) and the heat settings provide a good level of control.
Exemplary customer service
I needed to write this to share my experience with PureMate so they can be recognised for going above and beyond expectations.
My first order had a small chip on the enamel, was returned without problem and with a rapid refund
My second order was received in perfect working order, however I dropped it and bent the wheels and mounting plate. This was my fault and not a manufacturing defect so not covered by the warranty. I contacted PureMate asking for replacements and said I was willing to pay. Two days later and I have now received new wheels and mounting plate as replacements.
PureMate – Thank you
PS I haven’t tested the heater but have every confidence on the back of their service.
PPS I bought this myself, don’t get paid for reviews but do feel excellent service should be recognised

heats as expected
Works perfectly although the timer is a little fiddly to move the tiny red pieces to set the timing but it’s doable. A nice look with the greys ..a shame about the tacky looking timer dial in bright white. But thats just being picky..overall very happy with it and the main thing is it chucks out lots of heat ..thermostat works well perfectly too.
Brilliant buy!
We bought this product because the heating in our baby room doesn’t work properly. We’ve only been using it a couple of days but won’t be able to do without it.
It heats up quickly and switches off when it’s reached the desired temperature. It switches off quickly if you move it off balance slightly as a safety precaution.
We love that it has a timer function, it helps at night time to keep the room at optimal temperature.
An absolutely brilliant product, would definitely recommend it.
All good for me
Overall I’m very happy with this heater, it was slightly more expensive than other options I was looking at but I wanted to invest in something that I’d be happy with and glad I did.
Pros:
Has a timer (so you can set it to go on and off at certain times of the day for any duration you like)
Good heat output (it has a 3 point heat setting and heats up the bedroom in 15-20 minutes)
Heat setting (If you don’t want the timer option you can also set it to stay on until it reaches a certain temp then turn off and come back on when temp drops)
Safe to have on over night as it can turn off/on.
Sturdy and easy to assemble, took about 10 minutes to clip on the wheels.
Its quiet – no noise apart from a ‘click’ when it comes on and off.
Cons:
Non that I can think of to be honest and I’m really trying to think…
Overall this heater heats up my bedroom in winter very efficiently and I can set it to come on/off when I want. Its not too big so doesn’t take up a lot of room and has really good heat output. Can’t fault it.
I bought this radiator to help heat a very cold bedroom in the extension to my house, as the fixed radiator just didn’t heat it well enough in the cold winter months. The PureMate radiator really helped, especially in the cold mornings, but just before the one-year warranty period was up it just stopped working. I changed the fuse to see if that was the issue, but still no output. When I phoned PureMate and explained the problem, there was absolutely no quibble – I was just told that a replacement would be sent out and delivered the next day. This is exactly what happened – unbelievable customer service!
Good radiato
Was going to give the product 1 star after I thought it was broken but then discovered you have to turn on an obscure switch to make the radiator work. Not it’s working, I like the product. Was going to give it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the odd design of this obscure switch. But because of the manufacturer’s excellent customer service, decided to give 5 stars overall.
Held off writing review until we’d had it at least a month. Was bought for a friend who struggles financially and her home heater costs a fortune for just a very tiny 1 bed flat. The range of this one should have covered the entire flat with bedroom door open but as hopeful as we were, this was not the case. It also takes a good 25 odd minutes to kick in but does let off a nice radiator heat. If just in the bedroom (which is medium to small sized) it works a treat once it’s heated up, but does not work on whole house as hoped (as per given reach). Fix for this is to just drag it into the bedroom or living area when settled in that room. We have it on a long extension lead so just move it wherever lol. For an idea of efficiency, it cost her 4 electric for roughly 12 hours of continuous use on high (this is dragging between rooms and overnight, her place is like a freezer). Hope this helps.
Was to use, bought for large bedroom.
Works great. Bought this because our old boiler only has a 3 periods electronic timer, so I needed something to heat up our bedroom for an hour or so in the middle of the night, in between our boiler’s cycles. I set it to the lowest power consumption as I don’t mind if it takes longer to heat up, and it does the job well. We sleep much better now. The timer is very easy to use, but be advised that if the heater is unplugged, the clock will stop, so you need to set the hour right when you plug it back in.
Very warm
Bought this radiator to use in holiday home. I use it with a smart plug so that I can switch in on before I go there. It is very hot and heats up a medium sized room in no time. I have another oil filled radiator but this one is far superior. It is also quiet in operation. Highly recommend.
Value for money with very good heat output and adjustable time
The PureMate 2500W Oil Filled Radiator 11 Fin — Portable Electric Heater — 3 Power Settings, was very easy to assemble. The heat output is excellent and the timer is very handy. I can already see an improvement in my heating bill which is the reason I bought it. Was so pleased with it I decided to buy another one.
Would definitely recommend
Fed up of feeling cold because of useless storage heaters I decided to buy this radiator after reading many reviews on oil filled radiators. Although this one is a bit more expensive than others it has been worth every penny. I can set the timer for the radiator to come on at times to suit me and actually feel warm and cosy when at home. Before I was paying an energy bill to not be warm and comfortable, at least now I am paying to be warm. I’m still monitoring the cost and find it’s roughly costing around 1 to 1.50 a day to have heat in the morning before work and heat on an evening after work (I’m using on the number 2 setting and adjust the temperature dial to suit for the days weather) I live in a victorian building with high ceilings so was worried about whether the radiator would heat the room but it heats up really quickly. If the weather turns colder I know the radiator can be set higher to provide more heat if needed. I do move the heater between two rooms for use so will definately look at buying another and would recommend this if you are looking to buy this type of product.
Update: I recently purchased a second one of these oil filled radiators and I have to say just a tiny bit disappointed with the second one. This second one came in it’s main box (the one I bought before was packaged in a secondary box so was more protected) and so the latest one has a couple of dented fins and the button you turn to select the power (I, II or III) looked like it wasn’t on properly. Although it works perfectly, and keeps my lounge nice and warm it makes a constant ticking noise (I use the timer on both radiators and the first I bought is completely silent) and also a strange but not loud grinding noise. I notice it even over the tv volume. So it seems, luck of the draw with these radiators as to whether you get a perfect one like my first or a slightly disappointing one as I have with my second!
Great heate
I bought two of these to heat an annexe in our garden and they did a great job at heating quite a large room space (approx 25 sq m) from near freezing to comfortably warm in just over an hour, after which one heater was enough to keep the room temperature cosy. Fitting the casters is a little fiddly but securely and no issues really.
I have only used this heater in short tests so can’t give a normal use review. I tried the 3 different heat settings and the time and everything worked as it should as far as I can tell. All the controls are easy to use, including the thermostat control. The only negative aspect I found is that the power cable is just too short (by about 3 or 4 inches) to reach a power point above the kitchen worktop, which is where I want to use it and therefore have to use an extension lead. To be fair the lead is exactly the 1.5m it states it is but although the tape measure suggests it should reach my power points but in practice it doesn’t quite. In most situations this isn’t a problem.
Efficient and good value for money
I bought this item for my outside studio to complement the existing wall mounted convector heater. I’m extremely pleaseed with its efficiency – speed of heating up and keeping the area warm. I have had to use an extension lead as the cable isn’t that long but that’s a minor problem
The Rolls Royce of Radiators
This is what my elderly, disabled brother, for whom I bought this radiator, has told me. He says it’s “ruddy marvellous” and is “the Rolls Royce of Radiators”. He’s delighted. I’m so pleased because, when it first arrived, he insisted that the radiator was faulty as he said “no power was getting to the radiator” when he plugged it in and switched it on. He’s not very good with these things so I knew the fault probably lay with him and not with the radiator. He lives at the other end of the country from me so all I could do was go through the instructions with him over the phone. When he still insisted it didn’t work I asked the community for advice as well as emailing the seller, who offered to exchange it for a new one. I tried ringing him again and when he looked properly at the instructions he realised that he’d been trying to operate the radiator upside down! Once he’d upended it, the radiator worked perfectly. Thanks to the seller and to all who responded to my query.

Built in timer for ease of use and added economy.
I had been using this heater for about 8 weeks now and feel happy to share my experience. My bedroom is exposed to the elements from 2 sides and it always had been very cold in the far side wall of the room. I had been using another 2kw heater in that corner with not very satisfactory results. Also I had a problem of forgetting to switch it off when the bedroom is not in use and it had been costing me money in wasted supplementary energy.
I had been looking to add a more powerful energy efficient oil filled heater. The feature most attracted be to buy was the added feature of the timer which means that I did not have to worry about switching the heater off before leaving the bedroom in the morning. In addition this hater not only have 3 levels of heating but the built in thermostat. As we all know that the thermostats work in a way where for example if you set it on 23c they allow the temperature to go passed it target limit of 23c and the switch off and on the other hand when the temperature falls below 23c the kick start. This heater allow me to set the timer in the segments of 30 minutes so that it could try to compensate the grey ares of the thermostat.
Using my smart meter I can see the proof in the pudding which shows a considerable saving in the energy after nearly 8 weeks of constant use which means that this heater has already started saving me money.
Another pleasant surprise came when I opened the box there was a nice welcoming note informing me that if I register the product within 7 days then my guarantee will be increased to 2 years instead of 1 year.
So it is win win situation.
Fast heating, efficient heater with stable base.
I use this heater to replace my old fan heater in my atelier. I tested it for around 4 weeks. It works really good, better than I expected and better than the old one. It heats itself up very fast and keep warm for a long time which makes it efficient comparing to my old fan heater. Design of this heater doesn’t allow to accidentally change timer settings, or heating settings. Base is quite wide and it is very stable when assembled properly. Easy to assemble. My atelier is quite small and I was able to keep it warm just on 1000 watt setting. Nice device.
This is one of the most efficient radiators that I have had. Firstly, it comes with casters so it’s easy to move it around to the location that’s best for you and it has a nifty little cord storage for you wrap the cord around rather than just lying around on the ground, this is a neat and tidy radiator.
When I switched it on I was pleasantly surprised to find that the heat emanated from the radiator fins quite quickly so you won’t have to wait too long before you start getting warmed up. The heat also seems to radiate in a 360 fashion so there is an equal distribution of it rather than just above or to the side of it. This also means that the heat distribution is effective and efficient.
As well as having the obligatory power switch dial, you also get a handy thermostat dial to allow you to control the temperature, this is better than other radiators I’ve had where there are just switches that are heat settings so rather than just “I”, “II” or “III”, you get to adjust the heat to exactly what you want. Then there is the timer option which gives you control over the exact time you want the radiator to come on/off. These options make this a very versatile radiator that gives off heat quickly and it’s not weak either. You can get quite toasty if you want to!
All in all, if you want a heater that does what you want it to do and for a reasonable price, then you can’t go far wrong with this one.
I spend a fair bit of time in my study either with my 3D printer or home lab – I like to learn but It isnt cost effective to heat the whole house when I am only in a single room for the majority of the time or when I have a long print running and being cold doesn’t help 3D prints (in the colder months I use this to keep the room at a comfortable temperature)
I opted for this radiator to use in cold times when I am in the room either studying, working from home or printing, and its colder than I’d like but dont want the whole house heated.
I’ve used similar products before, and like someone else mentioned, I’ve got a fan heater, a 2000W to be precise and it’s ‘ok’. Because it’s a fan heater it’s directional, if the heat is facing you it can get warm quickly, if it’s facing away, the heat isn’t always felt, I am also not a fan (no pun intended) of the heat being blown at me.
This radiator changes that, I’ll be honest, I didnt have high hopes, but it heats up rapidly and you can feel it almost immediately. The heat is uniform, and ‘radiates’ as it’s name suggests, in fact it wasn’t long before I was adjusting it to a slightly lower temperature as it was starting to get warm. It will take time to find the correct marking as there is no way of knowing what temperature you are setting, it’s just a rotary dial from low to high, it would be nice if there was either written markings with rough temperatures or a full marking showing the temperatures the thermostat is aiming for. I understand it might not be accurate due to your distance from the unit and size of the room, but rough temperatures being aimed for would be nice – after all the thermostat cuts off when it reaches temperature based on the dial position.
Visually it looks like any ordinary radiator, a mobile one if you will so it’s easy to know what it is. Putting it together took no more than 5 minutes without the instructions, but they are there should you need them, it is easy to move with the wheels, sturdy, well built and ideal for those places a regular radiator simply wont fit or costs too much to have installed, or like me, when you only want to heat a single room while you are in it and you want to keep it comfortable.
Would be ideal for garages/workshops, conservatories, or outbuildings. Also ideal for those who work in those container like offices (I don’t know what they are called).
Well packaged, with only a few pieces to put together and you’re ready to go, with the added option of a built-in timer for scheduled use, an adjuster for setting the heat and 3 power levels (I assume for how quickly it gets to temperature), this has a setting for everyone.
I will likely keep the box to store it in during the months i dont need it to retain it’s colour and condition, disasembly and re-assembly will take only minutes to do, so this is not an issue.
If you are looking for a portable heater, I would highly recommend this one.
There are a couple of minor things i would prefer to change, the power cable for example, i would prefer it to be round the back of the unit, not coming out of the front, not a huge issue but my personal preference and the cable, while it has a nice built in storage, I’d prefer it to be a little longer – not gripes, just personal choice on the item itself.
Otherwise, as above, I would definately recommend this, no issues with this product whatsoever.
Very good heater, it has the best futures that I have seen in an oil filled radiator and saves me Money by having these futures like the thermostat and timer brilliant heat output heats out room very quickly I have not found any negative points about this heater for that reason I do recommend it and I have other appliances from brand and never been disappointed with quality and good value for money.
This model has simple dials to control temperature and power settings. I think these dials make it easier to use than radiators with digital push button controls. The elderly in particular should find it easier to use. The only slight difficulty is with the timer as that is a bit complicated.
The radiator is quick to heat up. It takes five minutes for it to get hot which is a good time for an oil filled radiator. It is silent in operation except when the thermostat quietly clicks on or off.
The temperature of the fins can get too hot to touch, so some caution is advised here. It gets far hotter than my gas central heating. A small radiator like this will have no problem heating up a small or medium sized room. I have not come close to pushing it to its limits as it gives off plenty of heat even on the lowest power setting.
The castor wheels are smooth and make it very easy to move around.

Wow, what a fantastic radiator! I am really happy that I purchased this.
Very easy to set up and within a few minutes you can really feel the warmth filling the room.
It has 3 settings so you can adjust the temperature to however you like.
It is portable so you can pretty much move it anywhere you like.
The timer feature is also very handy. I would 100% recommend this heater!
This is a compact well designed heater that really gives out a lot of controlable heat. The controls are easy to use and the three heat settings are very responsive and effective. Even when set on low it maintains a constant level of warmth in the room. The timer works well and is an added bonus. The unit is on four castors which allows it to be moved easily to different rooms. I particularly like the reassurance of the safety features to guard against overheating etc. Overall a product and company I would recommend, good value and a powerful heater that I shall get a lot of use from.
Packaging: minimal, with very few parts.
Assembly: I did use the instructions to attach the wheels, it is a simple/clear to do and I could of probably guessed. I did not need any other tools to attach the wheels, I could do it all by hand which makes things simpler! I have a picture of what the wheels look like attached, should you want to know!
Operation: This time I did not use the instructions and braved to use the product without them. Within a few minutes I had worked out how to use the radiator and had an additional 2.5 kW of heat at my disposable. The unit itself only takes a few minutes to warm up. I was happy with all of the 3 power settings and the temperature gauge and pleased with the timer, I think you can schedule on/off function over 24 hours at 15 min intervals. This is very helpful so I can plug in and forget! As expected very quiet, it is a oil radiator after all, when operational I did not notice it. Ease of movement, with the wheels it can be effortlessly moved and even moving upstairs can be a one-person job.
Design: Movement is easy, design is practical and unit appears of a good build.
Price/Spec: I think this is a great price for the wattage and options you get, I have had other units of similar wattage but some of them have been almost double the price, and I cannot see much difference.
Summary: Great Price and options (timer/heat options) for the price, I have this just in case the gas heating goes down. This should be able to warm our front room. Would highly recommend if you are after a high wattage portable oil radiator?
The option of diffrent thermostat temperature and power settings is very useful. It keeps my room temperature at 18-18,5’C continuously, it’s an optimal scientifically proven temperature for sleeping and wellbeing. I couldn’t get a steady temperature with my previous heater, I could always cook my self or freeze. I leave in house that imitates a garage in the garden without central heating that’s the reason why I need to have a heater constantly
The heater is sturdy. Well recommended.
I got this as a temporary measure as the heater in my flat stopped working. This is actually a lot better than the existing heater.
After unboxing you have to attach the wheels, which is pretty easy, and since it’s on wheels it is easy to move around (I’ve got a hard floor). There’s a grip so you don’t burn your hands. I wouldn’t say it’s heavy.
There are three power settings and adjustable temperature within that.
It warms up reasonably quickly and gives off a lot of heat. I’ve only used on the low settings and that was plenty of heat.
Probably a weird way of saying it, but I’d say it gives off a nice heat. I’ve used halogen and fan heaters before and the heat from this is more pleasant. It’s not directed at anything so the heat goes around the room nicely.
With the timer you can go out all day and come back to a warm flat or wake up in the morning to a warm room. Instructions are clear and it’s very easy to use.
It’s certainly one of the better purchases I’ve made recently and I really can’t find a flaw (and I’ve really looked).

Overall I think its a solid product vs the asking price. Radiator is of a decent form factor, able to heat up my 24m2 living room.
The fins are very narrow blades, this seems to be how it is about to put out heat very quickly.
Length of power cord is suitable for my application.
I really would have liked the timer to be digital. But at this price point, you really can’t argue.
I would look at this product again, if I needed another.
Out of the box it’s just a matter of attaching the feet, 2 minutes at most and it’s ready to go.
It warms up surprisingly fast and puts out a lot of heat.
3 heat settings, thermostat and a 24 hour timer, all straightforward and easy to use.
Looks well made and appears to be very sturdy.
It’s about 60 cm tall (2 feet in old money) so is not too intrusive.
A great heater at a reasonable price from a good make.
Nice little heater. I like the fact it has a timer built in so you don’t need to go up and down to turn it off. The 3 setting and thermostat makes it great to adjust the power of the heater. I have a very similar one at home and these heat up a STANDARD size room in about 10 minutes with the door shut. I have it a 4 star only because the metal brackets provided to mount the wheels are very thin and from experience I know the bend easy. As a result the radiator will till to one side eventually. Overall it’s a good size radiator and will do a fantastic job in a standard size room.
Now the mid-Winter Summer has been and gone, thoughts turn to keeping warm for the next couple of months. In a small room turned into an office the previous solution was a convection heater, but that wasn’t a particularly good solution since it heats the room from the ceiling down and sometimes the warmth never gets below neck height. I hadn’t previously tried a radiator-type heater but the principle seemed good (that there is radiated heat as well as convection) and our central heating radiators in other rooms more or less perform.
This particular radiator is oil filled, where a heating element in the bottom heats oil which then circulates and transfers the heat to the extremities. There are three levels of power: 1kW, 1.5kW and 2.5kW (and, yes, I measured them to confirm the figures are spot on) and a thermostat takes care of regulating the room temperature. Unusually for a heater, at least so far as I’ve taken notice, this also has timer built in so can be set to turn on or off at any of 96 15-minute slots during the day (and night).
I had assumed that this kind of radiator would take a while to get going, just like the central heating takes some time to warm up. But this item is actually quite quick and pumping out the heat within a minute or two. And it is proper radiated heat too – the attached thermograph, taken after it had been turned on for a few minutes, shows that the bottom tube is around 94C and the heat has spread pretty much throughout.
Speaking of which, the manual warns that the surface will be hot and it shouldn’t be touched with bare skin. However, right after that thermograph was taken I was able to place my hand on the top without being burned because the thin fins are kept cool by heating the air. I wouldn’t have any worries about touching the radiator in passing, but you wouldn’t catch me poking my fingers between the fins.
A quirk I noticed is that the power light is on when the heater element is active and off when it isn’t (when, for instance, the thermostat has tripped). You’d expect that if you turn the power control to 0, so there is no heating, the light would be off. But, in fact, it is on continuously. However, if the heating is off because the timer is in an off period, the light is off! Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
Apart from that, the heater is pretty much perfect for my requirements and a revelation after using a convector heater. Should have got one ages ago.
