Faulty leg, weak heating

published

Brought 3 in preparation for winter 2020 I opened 1 box for my home office that’s about 6sqm on the highest setting it failed to heat the space so turned it off after an hr.

The screw holding the leg in place is so tiny the legs just fall off.

Purchased in February 2021 at JB Hi-Fi Online Store for A$70.00.

Excellent heater, warms quickly & great value

published

Purchased this heater based off reviews and the price and it surly did not disappoint, it was easy to attached the legs which seem solid (you need to make sure you attach the screws straight). Once turning on there is an instant heat within seconds, this heats our mid sized bedroom very quickly, however in our large open kitchen/living area it does take quite a while to take the chill off the space, but this is to be expected given the room size. We previously had a target convection heater at this masiivly out performs that heater, it is an extremely good heater for the price.

Purchased in April 2021 at Harvey Norman for A$59.00.

Does the job

published

Easy to use with a few levels of heat. Bought it for the spare bedroom and it heats the room quickly and stays warm. I also have the issue of the legs coming off. It took a few uses before the new smell disappeared but now it’s not noticeable. There is the option of using a wall mount but I am renting and I can’t try that. I don’t move it around much so I just balance it on the legs in its spot. The electricity bill skyrocketed after buying and using this last winter! Now we only use it for the coldest mornings/nights.

Purchased in June 2021 for A$49.00.

Legs are issue

published

Bought this for bathroom. Extremely quiet heater. Warms up enough in a small room. Biggest issue is attaching legs. Have seen many reviews with same issue. Screws are hard to get into really tight and awkward spot. Had to get my brother with electric screw driver to put them in and even then legs still feel wobbly and not very secure. Really bad design on this part.

Would be great if the legs were stable!

published

Heating wise- fantastic!
Only takes a few minutes to heat up my daughters room. It’s definitely small but mighty! We only need to put 1 bar on level 2 and it’s warm enough all night for a Brisbane winter.
Massive down fall is the legs!!
You screw them in with the tiniest screws imaginable mind you and then the smallest bump the legs fall right out!!! With one bump the tiny plastic dowels broke straight off!!
This should come with hard set legs with NO assembly and this would of been a 10/10 review! I’m second thinking to even have this in my daughters room now! Just in case something were to happen.

Best thing ever!

published

Bought it for $49 only and it works like magic since day one.

It's extremely quiet and gentle and heats the room fast and evenly. Unlike a noisy fan heater, I hardly notice its existence. Definitely a good buy. Would recommend it.

Didn't notice any of the wobbly feet issue someone mentioned at all. As long as you screw them on properly, it's fairly stable.

quite good, get warm quickly

published

Recently bought a delonghi convection heater, easy to carry and move it as its weight is so light, heating power is strong and get warm quickly, so convenient, also the cable is long enough for you to move it always without changing to other socket in your room. If it has a indication light, that would be better.

Does what it says on the box

published

I bought this one for my mother-in-law. Temps dropped sub 10deg in SEQ and with no heating in her bedroom we needed a quick cheap solution as it'll be back to hot in a few weeks so there was no need to go for an expensive option. I picked this one up for $45 at GoodGuys and I have to say it's not bad.

It says on the box that it's rated to heat 20sqm which I can confirm it does more than adequately, in fact her bedroom which is exactly that size was toasty warm in no time at all so it's a good buy if you're looking for some cheap heat.

Working without a prob

published

We bought it from Bunnings 3 weeks ago, and have been keeping it on basically 24/7, it's been working without any problems so far. It gets warm very fast, light and easy to move. The only inconvenient thing I can think of is the numbers showing heat level are not colored so it's a bit hard to find out how warm it is.

does it have a tip over cut off safety feature?

No it doesn’t

This one does not but pretty much every other heater we make does. This has the anti frost and thermal cut off safety though and double insulation so the surface is not too hot if accidentally touched.

got mine today and it seems great.. so the thermal cut off kicks in if the unit gets too hot?
