Know where to use it
Its just been a week since I purchased the 5 fin heater. It does take some time to heat up but works well for medium or small spaces. Its good to for preheating a bedroom and I don't mind leaving it ON overnight at a 400w or 600w setting. For my large living space it only raised a couple of degrees in an hour of operation (on a 600w setting). Might have to buy an additional unit or a radiation heater for more immediate relief on chilly nights.
Looks good, energy efficient, inexpensive
less effective in large spaces

Economical to buy column heater
I bought this heater to heat a medium sized childrens' room. It does a good job. It's fairly lightweight compared to older style oil heaters and consequently does not have as much thermal mass. It is therefore fairly quick to heat up but also loses heat quickly, so I find you have to run the thermostat hotter to maintain the same room temperature as our 20+ year old Dimplex. However, given that 2400w is 2400w no matter how much oil is in the heater it costs the same.
The timer works ok and is quiet. The heater is silent, with no creakin...Read more
g noises when heating up or cooling down. The only problem I have is that the switch to turn between manual operation and timer operation is a very small and hard to operate. The heater fins get a little hot when operating, but we've had no issues with children touching. It's fairly cheap compared to some of the more prominent 2400w name brand heaters, but from our perspective works equally as well with good quality look and feel. Inexpensive to purchase, looks ok, gimmick free. Fiddly timer switch

Great product for babies room
I purchased this to take the winter chill out of my babies room. The heater doesn't get very hot,which wouldn't suit a large room and at first I didn't think it was appropriate for the room I had it in, but now I think its great as it doesn't heat the room too much but just take the chill out and makes it comfortable, which is what I wanted. And I also think its safer for a childs room as the heater itself isnt too hot too touch.
Great for childrens rooms

I am not sure what the issue could be. Is the heater hot to touch? I close all doors, as the heat noticeably escapes if I dont. I use the timer to heat at about 4am, and by 6am the room is nice and comfortable. I have the heat turned up to full, and I adjust it as needed.
If it is not heating, it may be faulty, or heat is escaping. Hope this helps.
