Was I so far, although quite happy with the oil radiator, it has a serious drawback: if the morning the temperature has dropped in the living room, it takes a long time until it warm is (apart from the oil radiator, it needs if only 10 minutes until the Oil radiator is really warm). Room Ölofen 5kW for only taking one hour in operation is ruled out also. And for that cozy morning reading newspapers at breakfast, both are too slow.
Since I also wanted to know what it has now with the radiation heating up, I bought this.
This device has, in contrast to the information, three switching stages 500/1000/1500 watts and a temperature controller. Antifreeze function also helps at about 5 ° C.
Possible wall mounting or on wheels.
Color is a discreet, no bright white that bothers probably nowhere.
Some WW devices hum alleged. This device is noiseless.
Now for the feeling of warmth: the promises agree actually. Pure radiant heat, as in a stove, the back of the device hardly heated, which is ideal for wall mounting.
You turn on the device, and immediately you can feel the warmth on your skin, as they are known by stoves. just great! While one must be blowing directly from the warm air to the convector and it dries the mucous membranes and dust stirred up, this is quite different. It just feels warm.
From the alleged power saving function, which is to be switched off below the set temperature with a third less Relaxation pur, I realize, but nothing. Either the device turns on or off. Therefore, the 500 watt level is very pleasant, because the more the output power is, the more it falls to when the unit shuts down due to the temperature controller. At lower power, you can set a higher temperature and thus the device is running kontinierlicher.
My conclusion: There is no comparison with a fan heater. Who wants to live in a room, but not the long can high heat it before or want to be a heat wave device perfectly, since it generates immediately after turning on the heat directly on the body.
And in conjunction with a small heated carpet, one pleasant feel-good temperatures can even generate the seating positions in the cooled spaces completely within a few minutes.
Ideal for weekend houses and the like.
