VonHaus Oil Filled Radiator 11 Fin – Oil Heater Portable Electric Free Standing 2500W for Home, Office, Any Room – 24 hour Timer, Adjustable Thermostat, 3 Heat Settings, 4x Wheels, 1.5m Power Cable

Bought this in January 2023, to heat my bedroom, dry my washing over (and in turn, keep my tropical poison dart frogs tanks at the right temperature).It's had two years of constant use except those few weeks in summer where we've had heatwaves. When I say constant use, I mean it!It's easy to set up, easy to move around, a bit clumsy on carpet but still moves, doesn't easily fall over (I have four dogs, including a bull terrier, who hadn't managed to KO it).Power output wise, warms up relatively quickly, takes a while longer to warm up the room if the temperature has dropped significantly or when it's been off a while (which wasn't often in the room I used this) but certainly blasts the heat out, in less than 30 minutes can warm the room to a lovely, comfortable toasty temp.Just in case anyone also likes to dry their laundry, with a wing airer over it, it can dry a pair of freshly washed jeans, combat trousers, 5 tshirts, a weeks underwear and a towel in about 1-2 hours and you won't lose heat from the room (so double that time for an entire wing airer, I only used one wing set above the radiator, you'd have to short your airer around to properly dry the other side quickly). If you aren't bothered about drying your stuff quickly, it'll dry everything overnight without the airer over it anyway.Power cable is a bit short but it's not like you need to have it stood on the middle of the room, mine was about 3 ft away from the window wall, and heated the whole room evenly.It does get hot when on, and is very hot to touch on the highest setting, but then it's an oil filled radiator, that's how it disperses it's heat?!Functionality wise, the only annoying bit it the timer, which is fiddly, but easy enough to set. I originally started with mine set on a timer, but switched to just leaving the radiator on, as the rest of the house is freezing and draughty and sucks all the warm air out of my room, I was losing heat too quickly when the timer knocked the radiator off meaning my frogs tanks weren't being kept to temperature, so left it on.After two years, the radiator has now died, RIP my trusty heat filled friend, but after constant use, i would say it's been great value for money and have ordered another to replace the the temporary one I have heating the room, which is nowhere near as good as the Vonhaus.

Easily portable simple to use and warms areas very quickly. Range of settings which the use of the thermostat keeps the room at a good temp. Very potable and is economic to use

Good heater with a few issues:1. There’s no handle to carry the thing save for a fragile looking lip on the control panel. Maybe a handle where the do not cover sticker is?2. The heater has some form of borborygmi - rumbly and swishy. That’s picky I guess.3. The heat level selector is nicely ‘stealth’ but even in good lighting it’s got no real indication of where the rotary switch is.4. A longer power lead would be nice5. The timer really could use some design rethinking - maybe digital is the way to go?Good stuff:Warm, quick to heat a room, unobtrusive.So what?Mix design features of Amazon basics heater with this and you’ll have a great heater. As it is, I’d recommend as good vfm. Would that the manufacturers read this and maybe take some points into account.An update 12/28/23 - the two power level buttons stick and it’s pot luck when and if they unstick. The heater is relatively new and in fairness to the manufacturer this could be a one off not found on any other heater sold here. Don’t let one issue on one heater put you off, please.To record that the customer service is excellent - fault noted 12/28 & new heater delivered 12/29 (that’s over the time between Christmas and new year). Brilliant. It might be said that anyone can sell you stuff but it’s what happens when things go wrong that shows how good the seller is: here they were excellent.That’s me done with this tale - thankfully it seems to have a happy ending.Update: 4/1/25 the heater stopped working and, after checking the usual things (fuse etc) it is dead. Happened on what was the coldest day of the year. Had to buy new heater but would love to hear from vonhaus if anything can be done. Amazon customer services were not at all helpful (anyone else noted how Amazon CS seems to be getting worse? That’s my opinion based on experience & not a statement of fact btw.Further update: the company have agreed to replace the heater, for which I’m most grateful. As noted in my first comments above, it’s only when things go wrong that how far a company takes customer service seriously. They’ve passed consistently.

I think I bought a similar one a few years ago that went missing so I needed another one so bought the same brand to be careful. It’s for my bedroom where we only have one radiator and a window with none that lets too much cold in. Not disappointed at all although if I had to criticise it I’d say the wheels let it down as they are the flimsiest part and the way they attach means they are a little small and not the most secure. The rest is metal too which looks and feels great but the wheels are not which is the only weak point.At first I had it on max heat trying to use the timer function but it was a bit noisy (and too hot) so I now use the automatic thermostat and choose a slightly warmer than the room temperature which is maybe 1/4 turned the way around. This means I am not freezing during the night but not sweating either and not woken up by the noise as it’s not heating up too much and turning off.Maybe that was just the initial setup or something too so maybe that noise gets better as you use it but it was probably just having it too high at first. The timer is a bit clunky and noisy as it’s mechanical and winds up all while turning slowly. I don’t need it anyway but it’s there if you do. Overall for the price and the warmth I’m more than happy and the quality will likely last me a long time too.

Very good Heater , easy to assemble , and gives off a very good heat

Arrived early, easy to set up and use. Had it running pretty consistently and it really has helped keep my house comfortable. Great value for money, easy to move around thanks to the wheels. Its not overly big so it doesn’t take up much room and the build quality is solid.
