What to know before buying
- The claimed 20 m² coverage depends on room size and insulation. The manufacturer warns the heater may not reach the selected temperature in a larger or poorly insulated room.
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the title and heat-output field specify 1800W, while the details variously call the heater convector-based and list a radiant heating element. Wall mounting is listed alongside a pedestal form factor and floor-standing use. Confirm the configuration and heating description for the selected listing before buying. Bathroom suitability is a manufacturer claim tied to IP24 splash protection. The listing says installation should be completed by a qualified electrician.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Buyers wanting a corded panel heater with wall mounting or floor-standing placement options.
- Indoor rooms where the claimed coverage of up to 20 m² is appropriate and temperature, timer and open-window controls are useful.
Less suited to
- Buyers needing a cordless heater or a product confirmed for rooms larger than the stated coverage.
- Buyers who cannot arrange qualified electrical installation for the manufacturer's suggested bathroom use.
