Warmlite 5 Fin Oil Filled Radiator with Adjustable Thermostat and Overheat Protection, 650W, White, WL43002YW

Value for money. Heats up room nicely especially in the winter. Worth every penny

Like many of us, ever since the pandemic the drive to home/hybrid working has meant that I spend a fair amount of time alone in the house working in my home office (aka smallest bedroom in the house). With fuel bills last winter spiralling, I am keen not to have another year where I have to turn the heating on in the whole house when I am predominantly working in one room. Hence this small heater... It is small (about the size of a shoe box I would say) and this is certainly not something for your living room, but if you want to warm up a small space to a comfortable temperature, then so far, this has been great. I keep it under my desk, and though it gets hot to the touch, there is no burn like you would get with a fan heater. Rather, it just slowly heats the air of the whole room up. Now I have only had it a while, and in September the weather outside is not particularly cold yet, but I am hoping that as winter approaches, this will continue to offer good value for money as opposed to heating the whole house. Finally, at a price of less than a take-out for two, what is not to like.

I was looking for something that would fit under my desk at work that would give off enough heat to keep my legs warm and not make any noise. This is perfect for that. It won’t heat a room up, but it gives off just enough heat to keep it between your shins and keep your legs warm. It does get red hot to the point it would burn your bare skin, but because it’s so small it doesn’t actually radiate that much heat unless you’re pretty much touching it or an inch or two away. But I needed a silent heater to stop the inevitable whinging of other colleagues - ‘You got that heater on again? Eleictricity bill, blah blah’.. Thermostat on it does next to nothing, just whack it up to max and forget it. Apart from that it’s a decent quality little thing, just don’t expect to heat a full room with it unless it’s a cupboard.

Wish I’d seen the video that someone put on for over 2 minutes as it would’ve saved me from buying this. Bought for a 10x8 ft shed for this winter coming. Tried it and initially was happy. Noticed after 5 mins it turned off. The knob activated at about a quarter of the way so maybe around 20 degrees and I put it at half way. When first used it cut off after 5 mins. Yes the radiator got warm but cut out as soon as it did. I waited and it seemed to come on every 5 mins thereafter for about a minute then shuts off. I know it’s a small heater and it works but doesn’t want to stay on. After looking into it, these units apparently do it but there’s nothing anywhere to explain why it does it apart safety features which I do understand. My problem is though, it’s not on any uneven ground nor is it getting to its temperature on the thermostat so must be to prevent the oil from getting too hot. This isn’t ideal because if the heater turns off like it is doing then there’s no use for it. I need it to stay on longer than what it does to actually heat a room. Basically it just starts to heat the shed then turns off so is in a never ending cycle of heating up for a minute then off for 5 without even achieving an increase of 1 degree in the shed which is fully insulated.

I live in a house with no central heating and one open fire, as a consequence it is permanently freezing as soon as the weather changes. The Landlord installed Oil Filled Radiators which were expensive and not very efficient, and after being here nine years; they have all given up the ghost. As the change in weather this year caught me on the hop and broke, I needed a source of warmth for my son's bedroom URGENTLY. I chose this because although I knew it was unlikely to heat my son's 3.5 x 2.5m bedroom I hoped it would at least warm his bed area as a temporary measure, because it was well-reviewed, AND it was £25.00. Worth a punt, right? Well, I probably should have checked the listed measurements be because when a box the size of a Large DVD player arrived my heart fell and I figured I'd been ripped off. Still, I put it together, (2 steps, easy), read the manual, (standard controls, no timer switch) and carried it to my son's room. (Full disclosure: I have arthritis and a fractured spine, I cannot lift anything heavy....I carried it with one hand. That's impressive!) So, I let it settle for a few hours and switched it on at about 50% and left the room with the door shut. Two hours later, I walked into a greenhouse in comparison to the previous temperature! I left it on low all night near his bed, (the metal does get very very hot, as they all do but he is 10 and not likely to be bothered by it), and when I went to wake him for school he had had to switch it off as he was too hot! Judging by the warmth output so far and price, plus the guarantee I will be buying a few more of these to use in the other rooms. I am not sure what the cost to run is per se, but it's definitely cheaper than the previous outdated radiator so far. Look for twenty five quid, what have you got to lose?

I have bought several of these but after a while oil starts to leak out of the bottom. Very disappointing, I won’t buy any more

One top notch oil heater. This Radiator has exceeded my expectations in several ways. The high-powered 650W output heats up my home office quickly, providing a comfortable and warm environment during cooler days. The adjustable thermostat, which goes up to 105°C, makes it easy to find the perfect temperature setting. The LED power indicator light is a useful feature, ensuring I never forget to turn off the radiator. The safety features are excellent, with a tip-over switch and overheat protection, allowing me to use the radiator confidently around children and pets. Additionally, the radiator is portable and lightweight, thanks to the integrated handle, making it easy to move wherever needed. The product comes with a 2-year guarantee, which is reassuring. You can't complain during winter. This oil-filled radiator offers brilliant performance, ease of use, and excellent safety features, making it a great addition to any home or office. Highly recommended!

These little low-power heaters are quite common, but I chose this one as it looked very similar to a previous one I had, that seemed well made. I use this under the desk when I’m working from home in order to give my feet a bit of extra warmth. in fact it’s left on all the time on a low level, using its built-in thermostat to stop the room from getting too cold overnight in the winter. You are certainly not gonna warm a room with one of these unless it’s a broom cupboard but it’s a way of getting spot heat in a room that has other heating. It is excellent. Bear in mind, it is hundreds of watts so will cost to use. Unlike heaters that blow hot air, it doesn’t dry you out either, so you don’t end up with dry eyes after working in the room all day and as it has a solid metal construction it tends to stay warm for quite awhile After it’s been switched off.

Very good heater

I purchased the Warmlite WL43002YDT 650W 5 Fin Oil-Filled Radiator with the hope of heating a small room effectively. Unfortunately, it failed to meet even the most basic expectations. After running it at full power for over two hours, there was absolutely no noticeable increase in the room temperature. The only time you can feel any heat is if you physically touch the heater itself, which defeats the purpose of having a radiator. Even after it supposedly "fully heated up," it couldn't radiate enough warmth to make any difference in the room. For such a low power output and lack of efficiency, this product is a complete waste of money. It might work as a personal foot warmer if you sit extremely close to it, but for heating even a small space, it's utterly useless. Returned it promptly, as it didn’t serve its intended purpose. Look elsewhere if you're serious about heating your space.

It's not very hot, and it turns off after a while and won't turn on. The power cord is not an Australian code, it's a European code, and you have to buy a code separately.

Once I connected to the electrical source it started to leak oil, I don't know if the reason was due to wrong shipping or due to manufacturing defect.

Absolute rubbish, the heater fell apart as I took it out of the box, over all poor quality
