Swan SH60010BN 9 Finned Oil Filled Radiator , Black

Product Information

One thing to note is that in a poorly insulated room with a high ceiling, the chimney effect didn’t work - the heat escaped rather than circulating.

At low speed it’s quiet enough to use in a bedroom and in a hot summer, the cooler function is very welcome at night. Rather than a single flat slab, it comprises nine fins, linked top and bottom by pipework, and capped at one end by the heater and its controls. Or something a little different could be a product like ZANUSSI ZTPTCH3001 Panel Heater reviews or even ZANUSSI ZNMPF1601PN 16″ Pedestal Fan reviews. The products or services listed have been selected independently by journalists after hands-on testing or sourcing expert opinions.This 2000W oil-filled radiator has three heat settings and comes with a thermostat and anti-frost device and 24-hour mechanical timer. In general, oil-filled radiators are more economical to run than many other types of heater due to the fact that oil retains the heat well. In a draughty room, with the power set to maximum, my temperature reading from ten feet away started rising immediately and took only half an hour to increase by five degrees, which is much quicker than the non-fan heaters above. They’re light and portable and cost around 50p per hour to run (based on a 1500W heater on maximum setting). As such, my sample arrived with a small dent in the control panel and a subtle slant to the fins, suggesting it had received a big knock.

The same goes for our reviews of the best dehumidifiers and the best heated clothes airers, the latter being extremely popular this year as a way of cutting energy bills. A good example of this might be when heating a conservatory where no other heating options are available.

This 2000 W radiator comes with thermostat controls and three different heat settings, ideal if you want to warm your room. The item must be securely packaged, preferably in the original packaging using the inserts supplied. They can use more energy than the convection heaters above, but the heat can be directed where you want it and, as long as you use the thermostat wisely, they don’t have to be too expensive to run. It’s also worth pointing out that this comparatively slow on/off behaviour combined with gentle heating means there isn’t the blast/freeze experience you get as other electric heaters cycle on and off.
