Product Information

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. New range of Panasonic BZ, TZ and KEW wall mounted air conditioning units, some with inbuilt wi-fi technology. Whilst, it does put out a decent amount of heat, even just on the 2nd of it's three heat settings, I find that it (still) gives off a strange odour, very hard to describe not burning smell as such but a noticeable odour that isn't pleasant.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Would have preferred it to be a little longer and a bit shorter, but most makes of oil filled rads seem to be the same sizes.I use them with Wemo plug sockets to allow me set timers and switch them on or off remotely, very useful for heating up my outbuilding on a frosty morning. The main body of the radiator is encased in a surrounding second outer shell, creating a chimney-like space in between the two. To satisfy my curiousity I put a power meter on it, and found with the usual setting I have that it consumes around 650 watt. It eaaily heats my 18x12 front room, somethng the 800W Bambino barely managed and the 2kW Challege didn't come close to heating.

The innovative and exclusive design of the Vento VV550920 from De'Longhi gives high performance at exceptional value for money.I was quite surprised to see setting 2 being so close to the same power consumption as setting 1, but there you go.

I use it in my bedroom with an electrical plug-in thermostat which has been a very good economical set-up. There is a slight new smell but with each use it decreases and, if you keep your door open, that allows for ventilation. kW of heat output, the Vento is perfect for larger rooms or for boosting existing heat sources around the home. The innovative and exclusive design of the Vento VV551225 from De'Longhi provides both high performance and exceptional value for money. Electric radiators (all of them) are pretty much 100% efficient, so turn all of the electrical energy in to heat.It actually suggests running the heater outside on full for a few hours but it's so wet and damp I wouldn't feel happy putting an electrical appliance outside and I've never heard of this 'gassing' before sounds like it could be nonsense? It does a great job of warming the area although truth be told we have not had any really cold weather as yet. This convective effect increases the speed at which the room is heated, in addition to the radiant heat produced. The safe design also fills you with confidence about using these heaters anywhere, and leaving them on near to clothes or kids and so on. The 3 heat settings require the following the power input with thermostat at max (measured from the plug).

I bought this for my daughter's bedroom; it's got a large bay window and is on the side of the house that never gets sun, so it does tend to get cold at night. Will now work out the cost of this but am confident that it will be a lot cheaper to run than oil boiler going all night for just 1 radiator! This is a public forum presenting user opinions on selected products and businesses, and as such the views expressed do not reflect the opinion of ProductReview. Thoroughly recommend this machine - it's silent in operation and pretty compact BUT (there's always a 'but') why is there no indication that this machine is painted in what is best described as 'Battleship' grey and not white? Have a very cold bedroom in our stone-built cottage that measures 4x4 metres with a 'cathedral' ceiling and needed a supplementary heater for the oil-fired central heating which is not on all the time.

I set the thermostat at 21c this high only because of the short lead from the radiator, other wise i would set the thermostat plug at 18c max. Its variable thermostat has frost protection and a choice of three heat settings, with a safety cut out switch to prevent it from overheating.
