Fantastic oil filled radiator 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 a second screw to lock the brackets in place so they wont move. Hanging the radiator on the wall brackets is very straight forward, you will also find 2 plastic inserts to lock the radiator on the brackets, preventing it from being accidently lifted off.
Free standing feet are also provided, these are screwed into the base. The heater is quite stable when using the feet however if using round young and infirm I would recoment wall hanging the heater to provent tipping the heater over.
I have used this heater to heat a 16x20x9 ft room while it was below 3 degrees. It did manage to keep the room comfotable but i had to keep it on all the time. The heater struggled when heating the room from cold - but it got there after a few hours.
Only critisisums I have on the heater is, it having a black power cable! Also would be nice to see the same design but more powerful, a larger 2 KW would be great!
