Excellent for heating small kitchen, very reasonable price, very energy efficient, i would defiantly recommend
My panel came with a 1.8m lead and standard UK plug, it was fused with a 13A fuse which is far too high when a 3A fuse would do (Easy to change). I confirmed the earth is connected through to the metalwork of the panel which is needed for safety.
In use with my room at the panel’s “maximum recommended ambient temperature of 20C” (According to the enclosed leaflet) the front plastic-like surface of the panel was measured at 70C, this was surprisingly high and would cause a burn very quickly if touched. The rear aluminium backing of the panel measured around 45C which is touchable but not for long. The frame and hanging rails stabilised at around 38C. There was some buckling of the front surface when hot which disappeared when cooled down. I would have preferred a larger panel which ran a little cooler to get the same heating effect. (Instead of having 1kW per square meter like this panel, say something like 750W per square meter would have been better for me.)
In my application (Not room heating) I need very little heat so I intend connecting this small 300W panel via a 400W lighting dimmer switch to provide me with “dimmable” heat. I’ll probably fit a “room style” thermostat as well for safety as it will be left unattended.
Final note – The heat radiation from the front of the panel is not directed in any way, it spreads out in all directions (Unlike a beam of sunlight). If you are more than 15″ or so away from the panel you do not feel much/if any direct heat at all – The panel will still be putting out all its heat into the room just not directly at you.
Very well pleased with panel really good for use on solar I purchased a second one.
It warms you up from inside. After half an hour near it it feels like I start radiating heat myself. And it healed my knee pain. Perfect appliance for sitting at the desk or in the lounge also in the bathroom, cheap and very effective. I bought complimentary feet and it stands on the floor. It doesn’t have a switch, so I have to switch it off at the socket though.
Its amazing for the heat panel to heat a single room instead of turn on the radiator for cost efficiency. Its a saving in enery.
Unlike some panels, the rear is cool to the touch. It’s lightweight but seems well made. No unusual offgas smell, either. Happy with my purchase.
Seller is very responsive and helpful. They assure me that the latest batch of products in the warehouse have either the correct UK plugs or a safe adaptor.
I didn’t know what to expect with this little heating panel. I tried it in a small office – where it will be fitted – and so far, it seems to eject plenty of heat while consuming no more energy than two old-style lightbulbs.
The panel doesn’t come with feet; however, the seller kindly sent me a pair separately (I didn’t even ask).
They’re half, or even a quarter, the price of other brands, so I’m happy to deal with the issues, but they’re best suited for those capable of electrical DIY.
The pictures look great, the plain white panels are plain and white, and inoffensive.
Edit – I just spent two hours trying to fit this on the ceiling. Four screws, then slide the panel on to them. Simple, right? No. It was more difficult than any other job I’ve done, because I can’t see or feel, it’s pure guesswork. And when one corner goes on, the others don’t – OK, I’ll slide it back off again now I know where it needs to go… But it won’t let go. I think I may have caught three, or possibly four screws, after about 200 attempts. Even now I’m not certain it’s properly fixed – but I’m not wasting any more time on this. If I did, I wouldn’t need a heater – the frustration warmed me up!
My living room is quite huge with only one radiator at one end. The room always feels quite cold and this heater is the perfect solution to the problem. It’s really easy to use, and considering the size, it does heat the room quickly and gives out enough warmth to keep the living room nice and cosy. It works super quietly too, which is great. Please note that I have only tried this
It has a few size options, so make sure you get the right size to avoid disappointment.
The only niggle is that it doesn’t come with a UK plug. I have a universal plug adaptor so this solves the problem, but it would be nice if it already came with a UK plug. I also like if it comes with feet so it can stand freely, it would be more convenient to move it anywhere you like.
All in all, I’m very pleased with this panel heater, it’s slim, works quietly, and does the job well. It’s available on Amazon for 49.86 (at the time of writing).
The 700 has an on/off switch and 3 pin plug.
The others have no on/off switch and 2 pin plugs. The plugs can be changed to 3 pin.
The surround bezel is aluminium and the panels are plastic, a little flimsier as the size increases.
These are supplementary heating sources. They allow the main heating system to be turned down, say to 17C, and then to use these for localised personalised occupant comfort.
Be aware that these heaters produce little or no heat if the ambient room temperature is 20c plus. They are pointless if the room is already warm.
The 180 works as an under desk very close proximity heater. The higher values work in compact rooms and while directly pointed at the occupants.
I would not be inclined to use these panel heaters for more than 3 hours continuously. I use them with external mains operated thermostats to activate at 16C and to switch off at 20C but I’ll see if makes any difference to switch off at a higher 21C.
These are like an entry point into far field infra red panel heaters. They are priced competitively. More expensive makes will be much higher in quality and durability.
My use case is to enable me to reduce the energy overhead of my electric resistance central heating system because of the massive energy price increases. So, I’ll reduce the thermostats on the central heating from 21C down to 17 C and then use these partially to bridge the gap. Warmer clothes and thermal blankets may supplement these.
This is not a magic heating solution but, if you accept the limitations, use of these far field IR panel heaters presents the prospect to reduce overall home heating costs if properly used.
If there is a cheaper energy cost central heating system, working efficiently, these panel heaters may be superfluous. So, assess what your actual use case is and don’t look at these as a primary internal heating solution.
If you can tolerate living in 19C or below, being young, fit and healthy, these may be a waste. If you have a poorly insulated home, need more than 19c on your surface skin, and are energy cost conscious, these panel heaters may be useful.
This heater radiates infra red at you rather than consuming more energy heating the space by convection. ALAS, virtually impossible to review during a heatwave but I will return to this review in the autumn for a full test drive. 50 is great and two to three time cheaper than, say, Fischer heaters of similar design. Amazingly light too. Five stars based on the promise this panel offers.
Now all is good and I am very satisfied. The panel is a great secondary heating resource in my living room,and is very effective and cost effective to run.
Good product and overall pleased with the seller.
I would recommend it to anyone, for us it’s working very well. For all the people interested make sure you buy the right one for the size of your room.
