De'Longhi VV551225 Vento Oil Filled Radiator - 2.5 Kilowatt,(very light grey)

Product Information

It has three variable heat settings and an adjustable room thermostat to set and maintain the desired temperature, as well as an anti-frost function and an overheat safety protection feature.

With 2 kW of heat output, the Vento is perfect for smaller rooms or for boosting existing heat sources around the home. This is a public forum presenting user opinions on selected products and businesses, and as such the views expressed do not reflect the opinion of ProductReview.I set the thermostat at 21c this high only because of the short lead from the radiator, other wise i would set the thermostat plug at 18c max. On first turn on, it does give off a not particularly bad, but strange smell, almost like a new plastic smell when you first turn on new electronics. Also, I'd recommend using it with a timer switch, that way you could use an awkward wall plug up without having to fumble behind your furniture to switch it on or off. I use them with Wemo plug sockets to allow me set timers and switch them on or off remotely, very useful for heating up my outbuilding on a frosty morning. All that the kWh rating dictates is how much energy can be input into heating the oil to a desired temperature.

I sometimes borrow it and use it in my home office rather than heating the whole house, and it is pretty effective. The Vento V550920 Oil-Filled Radiator by De'Longhi is an essential item to have when the temperature drops, providing comfort and warmth to any room. I know in the manual it does mention an odour when new but (apart from testing when I first got it) I had it on several hours yesterday and the odour seemed to disappear completely but then I went to put it on again today and it was back just as bad. I gave it 4 out of 5 because as there are no handles or anything to grip that isn't warm when it heats up, you can't really move it unless you get a towel or slide it along the floor on a mat.Its variable thermostat has frost protection and a choice of three heat settings, with a safety cut out switch to prevent it from overheating. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Wanted heating, something flexible, for the 2nd bedroom mainly at night without using the oil central heating. It features the "Venturi Effect", in which an internal chimney-like structure increases convective air flow.
