Ideal heater for any room requiring a quick burst of heat . Only used it when I’m the room , I wouldn’t leave any type of heater except a central heating radiator on if no one was in the room.
I have two of these now, they are definitely the best heaters of all of my electric heaters I have I will slowly be upgrading all of them to these! Extremely efficient on electricity, and the heat output is fantastic
Relatively compact heat source to top up storage heater in the cold spell. It does make some crackling type sounds when warming up and cooling down but it’s much quieter than a fan heater. On the lower setting it doesn’t send the smart meter past the green zone. The main downside is that I lose my cat whilst it’s switched on as she basks in the heat at close quarters
I needed this heater to provide additional warmth in my North-facing home office because it’s one of the colder rooms in the house. It does the job very well providing radiant and convective heat very quickly.
Very pleased with this heater. It’s efficient, heats a room very quickly and is unbelievably easy to use. It is lightweight and very easy to use. Above all, it is very quiet. Highly recommended.
Heats a average room quickly and no noise or very dry air like from a fan heater. Currently no turning under floor on in kitchen living room as cost is 3 times more at moment .
that an extension lead must not be used. So, why such a short cable? Far too short!
Good heat output, 1kW, or 2kW. Useful thermostat, light, and with the castors, easy to move about. which helps the elderly or disabled. Heating elements encased in mica and anti-tip function makes it feel safe. Highly recommended.
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.
It deserves 5 stars but the reason it hasn’t is because there is no handle fitted to safely move the unit when it is hot.
This is a very simple thing to fix – so why not do it?
There is one other point with heaters and that is the advice is NOT to use an extension.
Well, sorry, but the regs may advise this but most people will use one. Because the regs only allow 1.50 metre of cable fitted to the fire.
This means you may have to put it near something that may end up being too close to a combustable item. So the regs are in effect
making it more likely to have a fire.
I’ve fitted dozens of extensions to power leads to extend them. When the cables are extended – not bunched up – they have have never even become warm – never mind catch fire. Even if the max output is used, fitting a 13amp cable with ensure enough cooling to prevent it getting hot.
As always though, if you are unsure – check with an electrician.
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
I didn’t have high hopes, since I live in a drafty and very poorly insulated flat, and the oil heater I used barely heated up my room. However, I was simply dumbfounded at the speed this unit warmed up the room, and how easily it kept the room warm.
I was concerned about the cost of running the unit. However, I’ve been using the unit on the half-power setting (1kw) with the temperature dial about 1/4 of the way around from the start, and found it keeps my (large) bedroom quite warm. When I leave the house in the morning, I turn the unit down to just above the frost setting (turns on at 0C), and shut my bedroom door. And I’ve found that it keeps my bedroom warm all day until I turn the unit back up (to 1/4 power) at night. I leave the unit on whilst sleeping, and have had to get up several times to turn it down to 1/8 power because I was sweating under my comforter.
I’ve already ordered a second unit for my living room / kitchen. I’ve been very impressed!
