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 Challenge Oil Filled Column Radiator.
I had already bought Dimplex Oil Filled Column Radiators for my bedrooms which are double the price of the Challenge Oil Radiator but needed one for my hall.
I bought the Challenge OFCR (Oil Filled 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...

So this, I did.
There is a pilot light on the iron which switches on, a bright red at times. This according to the manual, told me that the selected temperature had not yet been reached. However once it went off, I used the iron, and after a while, the light came on again and i thought "hmm, this is strange, why...

TOP GEAR DVDs are like Christmas - they come once a year, and it's always a surprise whether or not the contents are shiny and good (TOP GEAR: WINTER OLYMPICS), or a lump of coal with a sticky bow on it (TOP GEAR: REVVED UP).

I wanted to play this game as soon as I heard about it, and I wasn't let down; it's really fun and addictive. But it's severely flawed, to the point that it could turn a lot of people off to it. Still, it stands as a shining example of the kinds of cool... more
