VonHausOil Filled Radiator 6 Fin – Oil Heater Portable Electric Free Standing 800W for Home, Office, Any Room – Adjustable Thermostat, Carry Handle, Lightweight, 1.5m Power Cable – 2 Year Warranty

I've had this for over 2 years now.In the summer it sits tidily under my desk out the way. (I wrap the power lead around the radiator veins to keep it tidy!)In the winter it still sits under my desk but keeps me warm enough to work from home (with the additional support of my heated slipper boot).It heats up quickly and the built in thermostat means even into the late spring I can sneak it on with a low setting first thing in the morning when the wife isn’t looking, and when it gets really cold I just pull it out from under my desk and turn it right up to heat the whole room (3.5 x 5m 'ish) with the door closed.Even on the coldest days, I eventually have to give in and turn it down after a few hours (though to be clear my office is well insulated).All in all a good buy, one of the better things I have purchased online when driven by need, in this case mostly hypothermia while being frozen behind a PC for work.No photo – my office is definitely not Instagram worthy!

This oil-filled radiator was a great buy. It's ideal for a small study and gets too hot to touch in 5 minutes, at which point it switches itself off to stop it getting too hot whilst - being hot - it continues to warm the room (at no further cost until it switches itself back on again).It is only tiny, but in a box room for an hour or two's work, it's a much cheaper option than having the central heating on. Very glad I bought it.

This review is for the small 800w 6 fin radiator.It is a very neat and small radiator which looks rather nice in black and operates silently apart from the odd click of the heating element turning on and off.The radiator works for my needs adding supplementary heat to a smallish room.It is very much worth keeping in mind that for oil filled electric radiators that the power rating is not the same as heat output! The heating element turns on to heat the radiator up and then cuts off when its up to temperature and repeats once it has cooled down slightly.Whilst it does use around 800w whilst heating you'll find that once up to temperature it only heats for about half the time. This means the heat output (as confirmed by an regulatory information leaflet in the box) is only about 400W.I think that this information should be made clearer as if you are comparing a 800w fan heater which continuously heats whilst on to this 800w radiator you'll find you're getting about half the amount of heat as you might have been expecting.Treat this as a 400W heater but obviously it'll transfer heat faster in colder temperatures. This will not heat up a large room and will struggle to keep an un-insulated medium sized room warm.But if this power output is sufficient for you needs then its a great product!4 stars for not making heat output clearer.

I thought this would be a nice little heater for my campervan. I was sceptical as to how such a small unit could transfer 800w of energy into the room as it has such a small surface area, the fins would have to be red hot, but I thought hey its quite cheap let's give it a try. Well it does have an 800w heating element but it also has an internal thermal cut out which shuts the element off when the surface temperature of the heater reaches 75C which happens after only about 10 minutes. This is not the user thermostat shutting off the heater this is an internal cutout. So the heater itself is very hot, the room is still very cold but the heater can't dissipate that heat quickly enough so it's element is actually shut off. I have timed the duty cycle with a room temperature of 16C and once at operating temperature after the first cycle it is on for 5m:45s and off for 9m:20s repeating so the average power consumption is only 285watts. I did complain to the seller and they sent me a second heater which does exactly the same thing. At least I have two of them now but still effectively only have an average of 570watts of heating power. On the plus side it seems quite well made so it would be fine perhaps as a frost heater in a small space but that's about it. Certainly no good for heating a room. You could I suppose place a fan so it blows across the fins which might work quite well but not practical in my campervan.

Don’t expect a lot of heat from this. We use it to keep the damp out of our motor home and it heats up the front area well if the door is closed. However I wish we had ordered a bigger one. Like the black colour and design and regulates to keep the temperature

This is a great little heater that does exactly what it says on the tin. However, don’t buy it if you have a large room that’s poorly insulated. I use it in my office which is around 3.6 square meters and it just about provides enough heat output to warm up the room to a comfortable temperature. I also bought it second hand from the supplier, which offered excellent value for money.

Great little heater that just takes chill off room or if you leave it on long term it does warm up a room really nicely (I forgot to turn it off one time and when I got back my room was warm and toasty). I wanted it so I didn't get out of bed in the morning to a freezing rental room where there is no thermostat timer control apparently so whoever gets up first has to put heating on! It has done the job. Would suit small double or single rooms.

Bought this because we get damp creeping in from next door house. We have no heat source near that area, so bought this as a "heat tick over" its so good we will buy another for upstairs. Its economical and heats up our whole living room, thus saving us on our oil central heating the whole house if we just want the living room warm for the evening.I was dubious at first but now wish Id bought it years ago and saved us all the trouble of dealing with damp.and mould.
