B&Q OilFilledRadiator
Bought one of these around 6months ago our heating wasn't going to be working for a couple of weeks so bought this for the bedroom. Went to B&Q as knew they had quite a selection didn't want a huge one as we don't really have much room in the bedroom.
We bought it as a replacement for the halogen that we had been using which the dogs kept walking past and singing their tails in.
It takes quite a while to heat up even when it is on full power but once it is warm it is more than enough to warm our bedroom up. It has various settings of heat so once the room is warm you can turn it down which is a really useful feature, the dial for doing this how ever does not have numbers on it and I do think it would benefit it if it did so you could turn it down a set amount and know which setting you usually use ...
Advantages: good amount of heat Disadvantages: takes a while to heat room up
Having no central heating and no money to install it, I had to buy heaters for every room in my house - enter the ChallengeOilFilled Column Radiator.
I had already bought Dimplex OilFilled Column Radiators for my bedrooms which are double the price of the ChallengeOilRadiator but needed one for my hall.
I bought the Challenge OFCR (OilFilled Column Radiator) from Argos on sale at #19.99 and is normally #29.99. It has two options of heat settings and a temperature dial which you can adjust accordingly.
The OFCR is on wheels which you have to put on yourself (which takes a minute or so) so it is easily moved around if required. Its asort of light beige colour with bright orange dials for heat and temperature control which is not the best colour option for them to go for!
The Dimplex OFCR is the same design - on wheels ...
Advantages: Very quiet thermostat click, great design even when wall mounted, heats up quickly Disadvantages: Black power cable?! Only comes in 750 watt.
Fantastic oilfilledradiator from argos for small/medium size rooms. Thermostat measures the air temperature turning the heater on and off accordingly. Looks like a traditional 750 x 650 mm wall mounted radiator. The heater is quick to heat up. From room temperature to hot to the touch takes about 5 minutes. The "box" on the side of the heater has the thermostat that has a quiet "tick" when it clicks on and off. There is also a large power switch to allow the heater to be switched off without changing the setting on the thermostat.
It is supplied with wall mounting brackets which are easy to fit. The brackets have large "slits" which the screws fit through givng adjustment during installation, this allow you to make sure the wall brackets are hung level. Once the brackets are level can mark, drill, plug and screw in ...
