Duronic Slimline Heater HV180 with Mica Panels | 1.8kW

I have bought 2 of these heaters for different households. The best feature is that the panels are housed behind mesh grids. This results in excellent heat output from the sides as well as the top. The heater is on wheels so manoeuvrability is excellent. Two heat settings add to the convenience. I have been using one of these heaters while my gas central heating has been broken and it has been an excellent alternative.

Works well. Gives off good heat very quickly. Thermostat so easy to control. Price point very reasonable

This heater is well made and produces some radiant heat as well as convected heat.

Heats up to full inside a minute, silent, my autistic son can touch the grill without it burning him. Absolutely fantastic radiator.

Heater is very good in smaller spaces on the 0.9KW (30p p/hr) setting and will keep you warm.
Unsure on effectiveness of thermostat, as I’ve had it on full temp to warm the room up as quickly as poss and just turn it on/off as required.
For larger spaces you’d need the 1.8KW setting (60p p/hr) to heat rooms up.
Worth noting, heat can be lost relatively quickly upon the heater switching off, so energy costs will add up if on for lengthy periods of time.

This is totally silent when on which is brilliant compared to fan heaters.
It is instantly hot and super easy to move with the carry handle, which being disabled, is perfect for me!

Well worth buying if you want a heater!
100% silent!

Easily put together. Heats up quickly and stays at a comfortable temperature.
Would recommend.

This super little heater is an absolute gem. The vented side panels allow optimum heat to penetrate and heat a large room quickly in less than 15 minutes. You can set the thermostat to switch on as and when you wish to maintain the heat within or to re heat the room. Good value. Compact and well made. Highly recommended.

Having just bought a draughty old house, and before renovation begins, we were in need of some secondary heating. This fire was recommended in The Telegraph, and we are pleased with it. The large room warms in less than 20 minutes and the heat it gives off is quite pleasant. The design isn’t exactly ravishing, but it fades into the background well enough.

So far, I am so impressed with this little heater. Heat output is good, no stuffy atmosphere like that from a standard convector heater. Unable to have gas central heating in flats where I live so this is an ideal source of background heat for me.

Looked great, my son’s house in the summer is very warm though winter time it can get rather cold & the storage heaters run away with way too much cost, this heats up very well on the lowest heat & keeps the place warm, it’s not too stuffy..perfect temperature, so if he sees a change in his electricity bill we’ll be getting another one for sure.

So my oil filled heater gave up yesterday. Order this HV180 on prime after reading good reviews. I’ve been freezing all morning in my office, trying to keep warm with a small oil filled and a fan heater.

The HV180 has been on for 30 minutes and now I’m sitting here in a T-shirt!

Can’t say enough good things about it!

Fabulous little heater, struggling to get the house warm and keep costs low, this heater seems just the ticket. Runs at 900w and 1800w, we find that left on just 900w it is able to keep a large room from getting cold (room is 13ft x 28ft) the room is not brilliantly insulated, yet this heater can keep a 12c heat, pretty fantastic as the outside is below freezing!!

I am pleasantly surprised – I never thought I would say a heater is too hot for me – everything I owned before would not heat up my flat to a comfortable warmth, even the big clunky fan heater from the most expensive seller (which got promptly returned as it was too loud and windy, and despite putting it on highest setting I was still cold), but this nifty Duronic heater is so powerful I keep it on almost lowest setting and I still feel hot! Just what I needed. It is very light which makes it easy to move from my lounge to the bedroom. Heats up in matter of minutes. Could be benefitted with a small handle on one side to help with pulling it around, but as the frame does not get hot, it is easy to pick it up and move it arouund. Only had it for few weeks so can’t comment on durability, but it is 5 stars for the heat output!

I like the looks of this heater, and the fact that it heats up right away. I have a very large open plan space and it takes away the cold from a large glazed area. I use this on top of the central heating. I had been using an oil filled heater which was much less effective. On the downside, a bit of rubber on the underside of the handle was flapping off when it arrived, not too safe and not a great design, the cable is way too short considering the heater can’t go against a wall, that In itself is not very handy and It also says not to plug it in to an extension cable ( which I often did with the oil one ) Overall I like it, as it is an effective, attractive compact heater.

Hurried purchase as the boiler had broken in a cold spell, 2 degrees Celsius and raining. Unit arrived next day though advertised as taking several days on the advisory notes. Easy to place together and though some reports mentioned it smelt funny I had no issue, I did run it for 30 minutes in a spare room just in case. Perhaps I should have purchased the more powerful unit mine is the 2kw. But it warms a largish room 6 metre by 3 metre to a comfortable temperature over time over probably several hours. This is with the outside temperature being about 2- 4 degrees C. The boiler is now repaired but I keep on standby to heat locally instead of heating the whole house. It is easy to move around with the wheels and a small size to store away. The only mixed point is that heat is produced on both sides so you need to place in the middle of a room which can be good or bad depending upon your wishes.

I do like Duronic products. In my experience they are well put together and quietly do what they have been designed to do. This is no exception. I’ve had the 1.5kw model which is alas no longer made. I bought that in Feb 2015 and works perfectly. I have bought this one recently for another room.
When new they both smelt slighty of burning plastic after being switched on. This is covered in the instructions. The smell soon goes and I was left with a very good fire indeed. The amount of heat it generates is amazing. The type of heat they both generate is unusual too. I’ve had a string of different wood burning stoves in the past and the heat these electric fires generate is most like those wood burners. A very dry-warm sort of heat and nothing like conventional fan, convection, ceramic, carbon, halogen and even more esoteric fires about today. Back to the amazing heat. It is winter March 2016, frosty outside and in this average 16×12 room only one “bar” of the two available is needed to maintain the room at 20C with the thermostat cutting in and out. The fire heats up to full power in a minute after being switched on. This is documented in the instructions as well. If switched off immediately after just heating up(60secs) it stays very hot for at least five minutes and it is very hard to tell whether it is really off. This speaks of very high design and material efficiency and is an impressive performance. One very hot fire. I’ve not had to use both “bars” yet. There are also a number of important safety considerations documented in the manual. It must have its own socket; be sited three feet away from curtains or wall etc. Sound safety and common sense really but do read the handbook first. Wheels had to be screwed on. Four screws later and it was away. Has a lead tidy too. All in all a very good heater. signed Raver Duronic HV220 Slimline Black Mica Panel 2.0KW Radiant Convector Heater with thermostat – Oil Free Heater – Heats up in 1 Minute + 2 Years Free Warrantee
