Great buy

published

We bought the Noirot to warm an awkward room and as an alternative heating source to our split system (used mainly for cooling) and our slow combustion wood burner, used mainly at might. We are using the Noirot daily and so far have not been disappointed. It works well heating up our open plan living area that adjoins large open space area with cathedral ceilings, so not an easy space to heat. It maintains temperature well keeping the room comfortable at all times.

Purchased in April 2021 at Harvey Norman for A$440.00.

Excellent heater but castors have always been a problem

published

I have had this heater for quite a few years. It heats the home beautifully....even comfortable heat, silent and energy efficient. There are 2 issues I have constantly experienced with the heater though - one being a problem with the castors. I have never been able to fit them properly, even with the stores assistance and the help of friends. I have had to tie them on and carefully move the heater, usually having to lift rather than roll it. This is a bit of a safety issue.

The second problem is that if I turn the temperature down past 6, the heater switches itself off.

I am in the process of needing another heater and thinking of another noirot, with the only concern being the castors and settings??

Purchased in February 2021 at The Good Guys for A$449.00.

Disappointed

published

Third winter and thermostat has packed up. Has no rhyme or reason to heat setting. Turn on full and it heats up to about half capacity. Turn on halfway and it comes on full, sometimes. Very disappointed in product I thought was good quality. Reading positive reviews leads down the garden path, as usual.

Stupid French design and made

published

I bought it at The Good Guy. The installation of the wheel castor meant to be very easy but it damn hard to slide it in. After put on the wheels, they can not be removed. What kind of stupid design is that, I realized it from France. No handle to carry around. Nothing better than my old Dimplex ceramic heater. Expensive and normal performance. Could not recommend to anyone.

Works great but could set house on FIRE!

published

I loved this heater; it was safe, kept the whole house warm and I could leave it on all night. However yesterday when vacuuming the house I unplugged it and noticed the power cord is cracked and starting to melt! It has been a very cold winter and we have had it running all night but seriously this is scary and this should not happen! I've had this heater for 4 years; I still have the receipt ( good guys) and the box as it has a lifetime warrranty????
I cannot use it anymore it's a FIRE HAZARD!

I was fortunate enough to have it replaced by the good guys. I'm very happy and am satisfied with them for honouring the lifetime warranty.

Good brand and reliable

published

Because it was approaching winter time, and my wife asked for Noirot heater with timer. I did my research online in early June, and i was waiting for the EOFY sales. The Good Guys got a good deal when i purchased it. The heater is very energy efficient, plus it is very reliable!

Quality heater

published

Quality heater, big bonus is the lifetime warranty. The casters are very flimsy however. Expect them to break...

The heater can be very hot to touch, so is probably not ideal for very little kids to be around. Also there is no tilt safety switch so if it falls over it won't auto cut-off.

That aside, I do like the heat output - it is very good, it is simple to use, a standard dial on off and another one for themostat. This model has no timer but I bought a external timer.

Best heater ever

published

We have tried many different kinds of heaters over the years. Fan heaters and radiant heaters. This heater far out-wins them all. It generates a good amount of heat and fairly quickly from the time you turn it on. Being a panel heater it is quiet. It comes with a lifetime warranty. It is not cheap but it is well worth the money. We bought another cheaper heater for another room and it doesn't give out the same amount of heat and as fast. Would happily recommend the Noirot heater.

Qiuet, Effective, Economical

published

This is the 2nd heater I have purchased because of their economical usage.
I Have one in an open spaced lounge, leave it on all night and it does its job of warming the area.The 2nd one is in the dining kitchen area- open space again, I leave this on over night, and have not had to use the Split System in the mornings to heat up the area.
I purchased the 2nd one from Betta Electrical for $439.00
Prices have dropped over the past 5 years as the first one I purchased was $500.00 from the Good Guys back then.

Heats up an area of about 35sqm to perfection

published

Living in Sydney the temperature doesn't get much lower than 10C. My 2400W contends with these temps easily and heats a well insulated area of about 35sqm to perfection.

Good Warranty, nice design, quiet and well built. The heater is not cheap but you do get what you pay for.

I am personally very happy.

An electric heater that really heats

published

I bought Noirot 2400 watt panel heater from good guys for a bit more then 400 AUD. It heats a room of 25-30 sqm to perfection even in the coldest days in Sydney 10 to 15 C and the place I used it had mediocre insulation. If you try to heat a bigger place, it warms it up but that's as good as it gets. I used mine with legs but you can also mount it to wall. The legs attach itself to the heater with a dozen or so tiny plastic parts which gave up in time one buy one and now even though it can stand on its legs one of them gets loose when you move it. If you have no other option then electric heating, this is one of the best and efficient you can get. Although it's a bit overpriced, it is a seriously good heater.

With every cent

published

Was a little sceptical though I'm glad i took the risk. A handy piece you can hang on the wall very European looking. Doesn't take up too much room. Overall performance a fabulous cost effect heater. It looks great.
The cost of running it Is cost effective.
I tell everyone about it how great it Is.
The heating is very effective also.
I am not one to push a product unless i am 100 percent.

SHOCKING WHEELS

published

Negative side...the wheels constantly fall off and are an absolute pain trying to re-attach them! it's definitely a design fault! they pop off with moving the heater just a few metres away to my office from the bedroom! my heating bill was very expensive using this heater after being told it was one of the cheapest to run.
On the positive side... it is quiet to run and heats the room beautifully.

Over priced over rated

published

I have a 2400w noirot heater in my one bedroom unit doesn't warm the the place just takes the chill out of the room and omg expensive to run. my power bill jumped from $300 for 90 days to $900 for 90 days I will never recommend this brand heater to somebody on a budget.

Spot Plus 7358-8 (2400W)

I've noticed lately after turning off our heater 7358-8 and unplugging it. The plug itself is Hot! So much so I couldn't even hold the plug itself. The cord was warm and gradually got warmer the closer to the plug.

Its plugged directly into the wall with no extension cords etc. Not left on for long periods of time. 2 hours at a time I would say. I've tried different sockets and all get hot.

Is this normal as we have lost trust in the product due to fear of a possible fire...
