De'LonghiDragon 4 TRD40820T Oil Filled Radiator- White

This oil heater has been a game-changer for us, especially for older individuals who need a reliable and cost-effective way to stay warm. It’s affordable to run, making it an excellent alternative to central heating. With just 30 minutes of use, it efficiently warms up the room, and the heat lingers for a long time, which means you don’t have to keep it running constantly.The built-in timer feature is fantastic—it allows you to set it up to turn on or off as needed, providing convenience and peace of mind. Compared to central heating, which heats the whole house, this is a targeted and energy-efficient solution that focuses on the spaces you actually use.Overall, it’s a great choice for anyone, but particularly for older people who value simplicity, warmth, and saving on energy bills. Highly recommended!

Like many people I've been working from home for the last few months, and whilst the utility room I set my desk up in was fine in the summer, it became absolutely freezing in the winter. I'd been using a fan heater but it was expensive to run, and more than anything it was noisy, and as I run training courses the constant background noise was a problem.This radiator is an absolute cracker. It arrives fully assembled, so you don't have to attach wheels or anything - just take it out of the box, unfold the wheels (they're hinged and tucked away underneath the unit), plug it in and away you go. It isn't too heavy - about 10 kilos - and is easy to move around thanks to the wheels. As with all heaters there's an initial "new" smell, but this burns off after a while - a label attached to the flex near the plug tells you to turn it to the highest power and leave it on for at least two hours in a ventilated room and the smell will go away. In terms of controls it's simple - the top dial is a thermostat, the second one is a power setting (off, low, medium, high), and below this is a rotary 24hr timer, so you can leave it plugged in all the time if you want and it will come on and turn off when you want it to. The timer can be overridden thanks to a three state switch in the middle of the dial (on, off, timer). In use the majority of the heat comes from the top of the unit, so if you place it under a desk it will be really warm around your legs and feet, but the whole thing gets hot. It also seems cheap to run too - my smart meter remains in the green section while it is running. Also there is absolutely no noise from the radiator at all, but as with "normal" central heating radiators when the unit has been on for a while and you turn it off it does make some click or low clang noises as it cools.In case it helps, the room I use the radiator in is a concrete floored utility room at the side of the house, with no other heating (OK, there's a tiny radiator about the size of an A4 pad at one end), a non-insulated flat roof, and has double glazed windows at either end. The size of the room is approx 14 square metres, with a ceiling height of about 2.5 metres at the highest and 2 metres at the lowest side. If I have the radiator in the middle of the room, on the highest temperature and the highest power, and the doors of the room closed, when I step in the heat hits you. Having the thermostat on about three quarters of the way round and the radiator on medium power is absolutely ideal for the room and makes it comfortable to work in all day.

I was looking for a oil filled radiator when I heard we were going to have a week of below minus temperatures.... I looked at different heating options... Ceramic.. Infra heat etc etc...But decided on this oil filled radiator as its a trusted brand and good quality...I'm so glad I did...during that week while at home in bedroom I didn't have to turn the central heating on.. This beauty kept my room nice and warm... The room is up in the attic so it's cold up there without a heat source... I kept it on the lowest setting and within half a hour the room was mine and warm... I also noticed that our energy smart metre stayed in the green...I use the thermostat and power at the lowest level.. Its a simple as that... The only negative point is the timer looks really confusing but I don't think I'll ever use it...Apart from that this is the best heater ever for small... Medium or even large rooms...Looks good feels durable and solid well made and all backed by a 10 year warranty... You know its going to perform for many years...You don't have to look any further... Just buy this you'll not be disappointed... You'll be impressed....That's my honest opinion....
