I bought this heater to warm up the flat for myself and my cat this winter.
My flat has two very very old storage heaters that are very high wattage and cost literally pounds a day to run, which I just can't afford, and they don't even get that hot, so I have been looking for a low wattage heater that is fairly small and unobtrusive and yet gives out a good bit of heat.
The reviews for this one sounded fab and it is also a lot cheaper here on Amazon than other places (thanks Amazon!), so I bought one straight away.
It's fantastic! It is smaller than I thought it would be (which is good!!) and very lightweight. I was expecting it to be quite chunky depth-wise but it is only about 2 inches deep from back to front so if you were to fix it to the wall it wouldn't stick out very much.
I like the fact that it is long and low rather than normal radiator-sized, as it means that it looks a lot better, blends in with decor and doesn't get in the way.
It's about a metre long and comes with sturdy plastic feet for floor standing, and metal wall brackets and rawlplugs etc if you want to fix it to the wall. The power cord is about a metre.
I intend to move it from room to room as we need it; when we are in the lounge it will be in there with us, and I'll take it into the bedroom at night when we go to sleep.
It gives out a great heat! For something so small I was very very impressed with how quickly it warmed up and how warm it actually got. Really looking forward to switching it on in the evening and having cosy rooms!
The low wattage is great, it means that we can have it switched on at night and wake up warm, and it will cost next to nothing, unlike my storage heaters that cost the best part of a tenner each day just to keep the room vaguely warm. (well they would cost the best part of a tenner if we had them on - I don't even bother putting them on because they're so costly!) This heater will be an absolute godsend to us I think, keeping us nice and cosy this winter!
Would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially people who live in flats and who have smaller rooms in their homes, and people who are on a tight budget and need something that doesn't use tons of electricity.
Would also like to thank Amazon for really speedy delivery (ordered Sunday night, was delivered Tuesday morning) and use of excellent couriers who kept me updated via email and phone about my parcel's progress every day!
