PureMate Oil Filled Radiator, 2500W/2.5KW - 11 Fin - Portable Electric Heater, 3 Power Settings, Adjustable Temperature and Thermostat, Thermal Safety Cut off & 24 Hour Timer

So far so excellent. I've had two of these type before and they were pretty poor, but this one does the job. I chose it as it seemed pretty simple in operation and indeed it is, no frustrating digital displays, just three self explanatory dials. The low medium and high are a little odd, as low is 1200w and medium 1300, but it matters little as I usually keep it in medium and just set the thermostat between a third and two thirds. It quickly heats a room that's about 11 feet by 20 with 12 foot ceilings and a huge uninsulated, single glazed Victorian bow window. Very impressive output and speed. In comparison a weak old wall convector (costing 25p per hour) had to be on continuously for 30 hours to raise that room from 12C to 20C. This little beast at medium costs 35p per hour, but is only 'on' half the time, and this frosty morning raised the temp from 17 to 20 in an hour. Then after that I can turn it down to be coming on more rarely and the radiator keep the temperature constant. And tbh, the air temperature is misleading and the radient temperature it puts out (which is half of our experience of how warm we feel) makes it feel much warmer within minutes.

I spend a fair bit of time in my study either with my 3D printer or home lab - I like to learn but It isnt cost effective to heat the whole house when I am only in a single room for the majority of the time or when I have a long print running and being cold doesn't help 3D prints (in the colder months I use this to keep the room at a comfortable temperature) I opted for this radiator to use in cold times when I am in the room either studying, working from home or printing, and its colder than I'd like but dont want the whole house heated. I've used similar products before, and like someone else mentioned, I've got a fan heater, a 2000W to be precise and it's 'ok'. Because it's a fan heater it's directional, if the heat is facing you it can get warm quickly, if it's facing away, the heat isn't always felt, I am also not a fan (no pun intended) of the heat being blown at me. This radiator changes that, I'll be honest, I didnt have high hopes, but it heats up rapidly and you can feel it almost immediately. The heat is uniform, and 'radiates' as it's name suggests, in fact it wasn't long before I was adjusting it to a slightly lower temperature as it was starting to get warm. It will take time to find the correct marking as there is no way of knowing what temperature you are setting, it's just a rotary dial from low to high, it would be nice if there was either written markings with rough temperatures or a full marking showing the temperatures the thermostat is aiming for. I understand it might not be accurate due to your distance from the unit and size of the room, but rough temperatures being aimed for would be nice - after all the thermostat cuts off when it reaches temperature based on the dial position. Visually it looks like any ordinary radiator, a mobile one if you will so it's easy to know what it is. Putting it together took no more than 5 minutes without the instructions, but they are there should you need them, it is easy to move with the wheels, sturdy, well built and ideal for those places a regular radiator simply wont fit or costs too much to have installed, or like me, when you only want to heat a single room while you are in it and you want to keep it comfortable. Would be ideal for garages/workshops, conservatories, or outbuildings. Also ideal for those who work in those container like offices (I don't know what they are called). Well packaged, with only a few pieces to put together and you're ready to go, with the added option of a built-in timer for scheduled use, an adjuster for setting the heat and 3 power levels (I assume for how quickly it gets to temperature), this has a setting for everyone. I will likely keep the box to store it in during the months i dont need it to retain it's colour and condition, disasembly and re-assembly will take only minutes to do, so this is not an issue. If you are looking for a portable heater, I would highly recommend this one. There are a couple of minor things i would prefer to change, the power cable for example, i would prefer it to be round the back of the unit, not coming out of the front, not a huge issue but my personal preference and the cable, while it has a nice built in storage, I'd prefer it to be a little longer - not gripes, just personal choice on the item itself. Otherwise, as above, I would definately recommend this, no issues with this product whatsoever.

Fed up of feeling cold because of useless storage heaters I decided to buy this radiator after reading many reviews on oil filled radiators. Although this one is a bit more expensive than others it has been worth every penny. I can set the timer for the radiator to come on at times to suit me and actually feel warm and cosy when at home. Before I was paying an energy bill to not be warm and comfortable, at least now I am paying to be warm. I’m still monitoring the cost and find it’s roughly costing around £1 to £1.50 a day to have heat in the morning before work and heat on an evening after work (I’m using on the number 2 setting and adjust the temperature dial to suit for the days weather) I live in a victorian building with high ceilings so was worried about whether the radiator would heat the room but it heats up really quickly. If the weather turns colder I know the radiator can be set higher to provide more heat if needed. I do move the heater between two rooms for use so will definately look at buying another and would recommend this if you are looking to buy this type of product. Update: I recently purchased a second one of these oil filled radiators and I have to say just a tiny bit disappointed with the second one. This second one came in it’s main box (the one I bought before was packaged in a secondary box so was more protected) and so the latest one has a couple of dented fins and the button you turn to select the power (I, II or III) looked like it wasn’t on properly. Although it works perfectly, and keeps my lounge nice and warm it makes a constant ticking noise (I use the timer on both radiators and the first I bought is completely silent) and also a strange but not loud grinding noise. I notice it even over the tv volume. So it seems, luck of the draw with these radiators as to whether you get a perfect one like my first or a slightly disappointing one as I have with my second!

Recently I had a boiler failure, so I had to buy some emergency heating first off I purchased a unit a bit like a Dyson with the loop on top. Very disappointing returned it. So I purchased this particular oil fired radiator and I have to say the unit is quite excellent it has Power settings, ranging if memory serves me correct from 750, 1502.5 kW. I tend to use it on the middle one because it gets plenty hot enough and it will heat the room quite rapidly and because of its thermostat it does not run continually, but turns it self on and off. Depending on the temperature that you are such, so as I say as a standing heating source, it really is quite excellent finish and Bill are exactly as it should be, and you can take it for granted that when I put a review it is exactly as I have portrayed, I don't take any prisoners if it's crap, I will say so all the best everybody.

I have to say, I am extraordinarily impressed by the level of customer service I received from this company. I originally bought this product in November 2022. Initially I was very pleased with this radiator. Arrived on time, was delivered on 20/11/22. Easy to assemble, good heat output, looked smart. However the timer function has to be reset every time the radiator is switched off at the mains, which is a bit irritating. Unfortunately it stopped working after 7 weeks, only had it on for a couple of hours each day on a low setting. Tried changing the fuse etc, with no joy. Obviously it was very disappointing. I left some feedback to outline the situation. Within a couple of days I had been contacted by the seller, offering me two hassle free options on resolving the issue. I'm pleased to say, that within a week, I received a new unit delivered by courier and was able to handover the faulty unit to the courier to return to the seller. The new unit works a treat. I really don't like leaving bad reviews, so I have revised my feedback to reflect the outstanding customer service I have received from this company. I can't thank them enough for making the process so smooth and efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend this product, and would certainly recommend this seller to anyone else who appreciates a company which puts customer satisfaction at the forefront of their business. Once again, thank you very much for being a 5 STAR seller.

Now the mid-Winter Summer has been and gone, thoughts turn to keeping warm for the next couple of months. In a small room turned into an office the previous solution was a convection heater, but that wasn't a particularly good solution since it heats the room from the ceiling down and sometimes the warmth never gets below neck height. I hadn't previously tried a radiator-type heater but the principle seemed good (that there is radiated heat as well as convection) and our central heating radiators in other rooms more or less perform. This particular radiator is oil filled, where a heating element in the bottom heats oil which then circulates and transfers the heat to the extremities. There are three levels of power: 1kW, 1.5kW and 2.5kW (and, yes, I measured them to confirm the figures are spot on) and a thermostat takes care of regulating the room temperature. Unusually for a heater, at least so far as I've taken notice, this also has timer built in so can be set to turn on or off at any of 96 15-minute slots during the day (and night). I had assumed that this kind of radiator would take a while to get going, just like the central heating takes some time to warm up. But this item is actually quite quick and pumping out the heat within a minute or two. And it is proper radiated heat too - the attached thermograph, taken after it had been turned on for a few minutes, shows that the bottom tube is around 94C and the heat has spread pretty much throughout. Speaking of which, the manual warns that the surface will be hot and it shouldn't be touched with bare skin. However, right after that thermograph was taken I was able to place my hand on the top without being burned because the thin fins are kept cool by heating the air. I wouldn't have any worries about touching the radiator in passing, but you wouldn't catch me poking my fingers between the fins. A quirk I noticed is that the power light is on when the heater element is active and off when it isn't (when, for instance, the thermostat has tripped). You'd expect that if you turn the power control to 0, so there is no heating, the light would be off. But, in fact, it is on continuously. However, if the heating is off because the timer is in an off period, the light is off! Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Apart from that, the heater is pretty much perfect for my requirements and a revelation after using a convector heater. Should have got one ages ago.

Very happy with this heater. I bought it for our conservatory which doubles up as a dining room. It warms up the whole room as opposed to the fan heater we used before. Much better heat, easy to use, including setting the timer & heats the whole room. Will be interesting to see how it affects our electricity bill but as It will not be used on a daily basis, I believe the running cost will be manageable. Happy to recommend, but would have liked a longer lead!

Maybe a bit of a fiddle to use the timer switch as it is a dial and not for those with impaired vision or poor eyesight. Other than this I would say it is a good purchase, does the job of heating up a large room satisfactorily. Heat is adjustable with 3 levels of heating power. It is accurately described and it will no doubt get me through winter until I get a new boiler fitted, ha.
