Not quite as effective as publicised. Not as cheap to run as detailed
I bought this for home office as an alternative to my gas central heating. It means I can heat the one room cost effectively without having to heat my entire house during the day.
Multi programmes if you want, I have just set temperature limit and manually on and off.
Note: work out room size and then select suitable radiator size
Great size, nice shape, heats up quickly, fairly easy to install. Didn’t like the instructions for programming as too many different options condensed into small booklet so took a while to fathom out which option would be best. Fitting instructions not great for working out where the brackets go. I placed the radiator at the height needed, and with the correct amount of space around, marked off height and between the fins where the brackets would fit. Take a level and draw horizontal line, then where you marked between the fins due a vertical line. Measure 10cm down each vertical line for your top bracket hole then you can use the measure guides for the rest of the holes.
Bought this is winter 2021 – lasted Jan 2024 good until then.
I could smell something electrical burning then it died on me. Customer service not interested as I bought it off Amazo
Perfect in providing a source of heating in our kitche
Great little heater, but the operating instructions take a bit of working out. I found it easier to look on you tube.
I have installed this in a 2m x 5m damp cellar and it’s spot on. I have just had it on flat out so far for about a week to dry the place out, so will now play around with the thermostat settings to adjust to a comfortable temperature.
I was slightly apprehensive before buying but shouldn’t have been, its excellent. The fitting bracket instruction is slightly odd, I just installed both brackets so the rad sat on top and had no issues.
I am going to purchase the larger version now to add into my living room, rather than have the hassle of installing a conventional rad (routing new pipework properly can be costly!)
Works well. Heats quickly. Thermostatic control is ideal. Programme mode is quite faffiy, with premade programmes.
Light up display turns off after being set, which is a nice feature (don’t have to keep looking at illuminated numbers)
Straightforward wall fittings provided. Lower bracket a bit fiddly once top brackets and heater in place.
Overall, nice and fairly slimline oil filled rad. Great value for money.
Great design, high quality and really kicks out the heat.
Heater is heavy and sturdy so a two person job to fit to the wall. Once on though looks fantastic.
All seems ok, the only thing that I’ve not worked out yet is programing the timer to work, but I’m sure with a little practice i will sort it . Managed to sort out working it manually
Very pleased with the efficiency of these heaters. Heat up very quickly and I found the 1000kw big enough for my 12 m bedroom. Programming is easy when you get the hang of it. I would recommend them.
This futura eco 2000w electric wall heater definitely has the capability for the warmath. To HEAT .just set it up i have it on 18.5.the best thing about it is it self adjust it self.the room is in a comfortable temperature. All night.
I purchased this heater for my livingroom, was easily wall mounted altho I did use rawl plugs suitable for plasterboard, heavy duty ones. Setting the time/date etc was fairly easy using the manual. It keeps the room at a steady temperature. I have yet to check consumption as I’ve only had it a few days. It is robust and looks good and overall I’m very happy with my purchase.
Excellent radiator, delivered quickly. This is a well-made product and substantially constructed and thus quite heavy. It is supplied with all fitting parts needed for wall-mounting (note the radiator cannot be stood on the floor) and full user manual. The unit is easy to install. Once installed you need to program the timer and temperatures you want, which requires paying attention to the (clear) instructions in the user manual. Since the unit is fully programmable with the capability of having different settings for every day of the week if you wish, programming is of necessity quite complex. But if you are able to follow simple written instructions it should be no problem. There are also several pre-programmed ‘slots’ which can be used and these cover the needs of most people and most situations. If not, there are 4 user-definable programs. In use the radiator throws out substantial heat. It is, of course, totally silent in operation and its ‘designer’ looks make it look good in most rooms. I have only had the unit for a couple of days so cannot comment on its long-term use etc, but so far I am very impressed and would recommend this unit, or one of its counterpart units if you need more, or less, power.
Well made, silent, easy to hang and beautifully warm. I will definitely buy more of these as we have ripped out our wet system with the nasty boiler and crappy pipes. Four or five of these would, I’m sure heat our small, house very well indeed. We will be putting photovoltaic panels up too in the near future.
I love the look of this heater I’ve had it about 3 weeks and still haven’t programed it in can’t do it myself as it has been wall mounted and I’m 80 yrs.old and I can’t get down on the floor to do it .I have had two quite knowledgable people to try and work it out but they both think you to have a degree in electrical science to work it out so I’m stuck unless I pay an electrician which will add to a quite expensive radiator.
Pros;
Heats up quickly considering it’s a an oil filled
The thermostat is reliable and maintains the room temperature well
The digital controller is well made. The features are fairly easy to use and useful in the amount of time control available
The customer service department is helpful and the returns policy through Amazon is decent. The responses can take half a day/whole day but they do ensure to get back to you within a time
Cons;
The plastic side mountings of the radiator are a little flimsy and one side was damaged in delivery. However the company did arrange a quick replacement
The instruction manual and installation instructions aren’t very clear in parts but once you’ve got used to the controls their not needed
This is the workhorse that I need it to be and the purchase and delivery was great. The customer service standard was excellent when we were struggling to fit the appliance to the wall.
Looks good and easy to install. Screen small and fiddly to set up.
I needed a small relatively low wattage heater for the downstairs loo following a refurb. This neat unobtrusive radiator filled the bill, and had the added attraction of being programmable with a thermostat. I have only just fitted and plugged it in, and it looks great.
BUT – this is a Spanish made item, and it is just a tad on the flimsy side and moreover, the instructions have been translated almost verbatim from the Spanish and are not easy to understand (for example it warns of the ‘dilatation’ of some parts – I think they mean expansion!) and for those with less than 20/20 vision the digital display is hard to read.
However, I am hopeful that once I have mastered the ‘destructions’ it will do all I ask of it.
