Advantages: Small, heats the fulll room, bargain price

...B&Q Oil Filled Radiator 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...

...TESCO VALUE MINI OIL FILLED RADIATOR It seems rather fitting to be penning a review about a heater in early April with snow falling thick and fast outside! This compact radiator is ideal for providing heat in small areas, as the name implies it is a small appliance. The radiator is white in colour,so would blend in with most colour schemes. It is very light and easy to move around, being freestanding, not wall mounted. It produces a remarkable amount of warmth for a compact heater and is neat in appearance. It is small enough to stow away in a cupboard when not in use. The maximum wattage is 700w. and it comes with a fitted plug as standard. It is a basic radiator and as such, does not have a timer function or any fancy programmes. There are two heat settings and an on/off light so you know the radiator is plugged in... Read review

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...

Advantages: Cheap to run, Very safe
Disadvantages: Small

...My Experience… Well living in a 1930's council house with no other heating system and single glazing the Bionaire BOH1000 has been a life saver, and quite literally could be for the frail or elderly. In the past this product has been quick to heat up and cheap to run. You can leave the heater in a room, so you're not tied down worrying about whether it'll catch fire like you would be with dangerous antiquated electric blankets and fan heaters. Simply switch it on, and leave it, there is an intricate system of safety cut-offs on this product, in my opinion, making it one of the safest things in the house! Design… The BOH1000 is a handy and practical 1 foot wide. It easily fits into any room, apart from the bathroom of course - don't put electricals in the bathroom. The product works by heating oil and radiating it out... Read review

...before or after a bath, however as it could be TOO powerful! Olbas Oil Inhalant Decongestant, to give it its full title, is one of life’s little indispensable wonders. It costs as little as £1.99 for 10ml, which will last for ages. It can be used for all age groups, with the exception of babies under 3 months. For children from 3 months to 2 years, a few drops should be sprinkled on a tissue and the tissue placed near, but not touching, the child. I used to place the tissue on the radiator in my childrens’ rooms so the air was filled with its scent. If you haven’t tried it yet, then get some! It’s either that or keep your wellies on until Summer!... Read review

Storage: When you buy it it comes in a bio-degradable plastic bag with the Lush logo on and a description label. You can pretty much store it in the very same bag, though
