Prolux Concepts Energy Efficient Electric Heater Radiator | Wall Mounted or Freestanding with Digital Timer, Over Heat Protection and Tip Over Cut Off: Lot 20 Compliant (watts, 1000)

We brought the 2000 radiator for our new conservatory, especially for the winter months.The quality of this radiator is excellent. Not flimsy, but feels sturdy and well made all roundIt is on the heavy side, which isn't a bad thing, but if you want to wall mount it, we feel two people maybe required.As others have mentioned, it takes a while to heat up, but once it does, it is brilliant. The ceramic plates do get hot, so be careful! We have found that the ceramic plates hold the heat, even when the radiator isnt 'heating' and found to be alot more economical than our oil filled portable radiators.A lovely, modern design too. It isn't conspicuous and blends in nicely.The only thing I would say is that the instruction manual could be alittle more detailed. For example - When the radiator is left on, in the programme section on the display, it shows the letters CO. There isn't anything in the manual to address this.Having said that, this radiator, for us was a brilliant buy, plus the seller was very responsive to our messages.A brilliant purchase.

PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BUY - FIRE HAZARD.I bought three of these radiators over a 11 month period. I bought the 3rd one after the 1st one stopped working. As a third party seller, Amazon contacted the 3rd party who began liaising with me. The company wanted to know why it was faulty but I didn’t know. They asked me to check the fuse and when I pulled out the plug I was horrified that the socket was burnt and the plug was perished where the fuse was. We were very very lucky that it wasn’t left unattended. The company were asking me all kinds of questions such as, how had I stored it over the summer because they have never experienced this issue before. I was beginning to question myself and wonder if there was something wrong with our electrics - but we weren’t having any issues with our other appliances. Three days ago my partner said the 2nd radiator had stopped working and when we pulled out the plug, it was the same problem - burnt socket and perished plug. The following day, there was a burning smell from our 3rd radiator and smoke coming from the plug. I touched the plug and it was red hot and so was the flex cable leading to the plug. That’s 3 radiators bought at different periods all with the same issue. I then looked at the reviews on this item and others are experiencing the same. I also noticed someone comment that the radiator is supplied with a 10amp fuse rather than a UK standard 13 amp fuse. THIS ITEM IS A FIRE HAZARD. Just look at my photos

This heater looks very smart and I love that you can have it free standing or against the wall I have it on a wall and it was so easy to fit the only down side is programming the thing

The media could not be loaded. Seen on the screen, the heater looks stylish, and to be fair it looks just as good in real life. Heat output is pretty good - I couldn't measure it accurately, but it's quite adequate to heat a small bathroom, so no complaints on that score.The package contains the heater itself, two feet with castors (for mobile use) and two brackets for wall mounting. There's also a small instruction manual, with text (and drawings) ranging from the tiny to the microscopic. You're going to need that manual, so if you haven't got a microscope, get one!The instructions for mounting the wall brackets were clear enough. What they didn't say was: the heater doesn't fit on the brackets symmetrically - my heater is now offset on the wall (See picture). The heater drops onto the brackets, and then there's a small locking widget to secure it which lock very effectively. What they don't tell you is: having locked them, they don't unlock at all (the plastic just tears and squishes), so that means when you hang the radiator askew, you can't reposition it!The radiator is controlled using a small control panel on the right side. Be warned: this is not a beautiful as the images suggest. Firstly, you have to get your head in just the right position to see anything at all - just slightly off-axis, and all the display disappears. Also, when you press the buttons, you get an annoying flash. It looks cheap.There are a number of things you can do with the panel: switch on and off, set the temperature, switch between the various modes: (in decreasing order of comprehensibility) heating; economy heating; frost protection; programmed; more complicated programmed; incredibly detailed programmed. There are also 'hidden' modes like open-window detection (disable it! when it triggers, it shuts off the heater until you switch it on again by hand.)The various programmed modes rely on a clock, which you have to set by hand. If the power fails, even momentarily, (even if you switch the unit off from the control panel but leave the power on) then the clock is cleared, and the programmed modes become disabled. I think that makes the programmed modes useless (if the complexity of programming them didn't put you off already!)To be fair, setting the temperature is easy - just press the + or - buttons. And, to be fair, it has a child-lock mode - if you don't press the buttons for a while, the light goes off and the buttons become unresponsive. And getting out of child-lock is easy - press the +and - buttons together. I know what you're thinking! Yes, you'd be right - it's impossible to get it out of child-lock without disturbing the temperature setting.If all you want is a basic heater, it's fine. It gets hot, and as far as I can tell it maintains a reasonably stable temperature. The control panel, however, is a disaster: it's cheap, mostly illegible, virtually unintelligible, insanely fiddlesome, and forgetful. You'd be better off with a simple thermostat and a smart plug (if you need it).

This is a really good electric radiator, I like the fact we can have this wall mounted or free standing. Looks great in the conservatory, very modern and nice design. The instructions are pretty straight forward and helped me to programme the timer. Can't comment on the efficiency as we have only had it on for a few days, it does have 3 modes: eco, comfort and anti frost.

I liked the design and ease of set up, quick to heat up and provides plenty of warmth.Unfortunately after a few hours it always stops working and needs to be reset for some reason. E3 is flashing on the screen where it shows window open detection mode so I'm assuming it's over heating it's self some how. I've tried it on both nor Al and power saving mode and only using it to get a attic room to about 15oC. I measured the size of the area so bought the one that matched the specs and I've even placed it in the middle of the room more than 0.5 metres from any other object but still the same issue happens.Not great as its the only heat source I have and waking up early morning to a room at 7oC every day is not good, specially at the price point of this item.
