I bought one of these last weekend. I originally thought it was broken. I turned it on and the halogen lights came on. Fine I thought. I went into the kitchen and came back a few minutes later and turned the heated off. The mesh was cold.
I thought the lights were working but there was no working heating element.
I tried it again and sat in front of it this time. I felt the heat. So, again, I turned the heater off and the mesh was still cold. Brilliant.
There is a pan mode in where the heater will move left to right and back again, spreading the heat, it works like those fans.
There is also a safety cut off, if the heater is knocked over, the halogens immediately turn off... Now, like I said, the mesh is cold once the halogens are off, so if you have young kids or are worried in case the rotating heater will cause a fire, well... it might be possible, but because of this safety measure, the risk is reduced.
The heat settings are:
1200w split over three settings, single, dual and all on. Each setting of the three is 400w. So running on one element, would cost around 5p per hour,
All in all, I think it is a wise buy for our approaching winter.
