VonHaus Oil Filled Radiator 6 Fins – 800W – Black

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!

First one didn’t work- so Amazon was able to ship me another one at no extra charge. The only thing I would say is the plastic stand that keeps the radiator off the floor surface came off in a day and I wasn’t able to reattach it. But it warms up a large room Very nicely indeed. So I do recommend and apparently those heaters are very cheap to run! So good value for money! Cable could be a little more longer.

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.

This is a tiny oil filled radiator. I use it to heat a small double -guest - bedroom. I would not use it to heat a large space o r a space that was in constant use. despite its small size, it gives good heat. the heater does not have a timer, but i 've put a time onto the plug socket. the thermo control is very easy to use. the knob is very proud of the heater - so even if you have arthritic hands you should be able to use it. the cable length is about 4 feet, maybe a bit more.

One of the plastic feet has fallen apart, and I've had to put it back together, with longer screws but it does warm the box room up quickly

Only recommend this for very small rooms. It is good and works great

Very efficient small heater but does take some time to heat a small room. Probably should have bought next size up. It is very compact and easy to store. Very easy to assemble and good quality.
