Russell Hobbs650W Oil Filled Radiator, 5 Fin Portable Electric Heater - Black, Adjustable Thermostat, Safety Cut-off, 10 m sq Room Size, RHOFR3001, 2 Year Guarantee

After reading so many varied reviews on this oil filled radiator I was very wary but decided I needed to try it myself. I actually bought a "as new" condition one, which I have never done before.It looks good, put together good and seems to work good. It's for my conservatory so it won't be tested thoroughly until the weather cools down! To sum up I am very happy with my purchase and great price! Tucks away neatly behind my table too!

I like this heater a lot. I've previously used fan heaters, and it's always made me nervous as they use a lot of electricity and can be dangerous, especially as they're so cheaply made nowadays and lack safety features than used to come as default.This felt like an investment by comparison, but it's one I'm glad I made. It hardly costs anything to run, and it's safe. I can walk away from it for a few hours at a time and not worry. The only negative I would say about it is it takes hours to warm up a whole room by itself, so it's not very effective if you need a quick blast, but the heat it does produce lasts a lot longer than a fan heater. I find it's best for prolonging heat, so I'll put the main heating on in the morning then this heater means it doesn't have to go on again and it'll keep me toasty at my desk all day.It also feels very sturdy in construction, and I don't feel like it's going to need to be replaced after a year of use. I feel it was well worth my money.

Looks good , affordable & warms up fast.This oil heater is easy to put together, and easy to control.We are using it in our home office that is about 10 Sq. metres/107 Sq. foot and it warms the room easily and fast.However this Russell Hobbs 1500W/1.5KW Oil Filled Radiator is rather flimsy, compared to my old oil heater that I had to replace and I wish they would have provided black bolts instead of cheap looking silver ones. Does not look that great against the black.Other then that we are happy with the purchase.Let's see how long this Russell Hobbs Radiator will last .

I purchased my heater at the end of October and, like other purchasers have found if you read the reviews, it started leaking in January. It left a pool of clear liquid underneath it and drips around the front base where the cable exits. Russell Hobbs customer service told me that it was the protective film covering the heater which was coming off (apparently as it should), and the appliance just needed a wipe down with a rag. At no point had I ever felt the appliance needed a wipe down. Over a number of e-mails which included my photos, they refused to believe the heater is faulty and possibly dangerous and won't replace it or give me my money back, ultimately saying I must now go back to the retailer. I'm not sure why a heater which appears to shed a 'protective coating' into an oily puddle which could leave a carpet stain (luckily mine was on a laminate flooring and then I've since sat it on kitchen roll) is acceptable anyway?It's a shame because it was quiet and effective for its size and cost, but dealing with Customer Services is slow and tedious and ultimately I hit a brick wall. Be warned.

well packaged. Arrived on time. Large, has to be wiped down before use. Easy to set up and you can hear the oil moving in the radiator. Easy to move as the castors move easy and fluidity. The operational system is easy to navigate. The thermostat and heating level switches are large and laid out in large enough print so easy to work. Heats up the room pretty quickly. Well made, never used the timer so don't know how well that works but can't fault the mechanics, I would recommend

This is fairly decent, but only for a very small room. Think porch or toilet. If you're looking to heat up anything much bigger, you need a bigger and more powerful heating. This is only 1500k so more energy saving, but it isn't enough to heat a bedroom when it's winter. I use it to heat a small bedroom as I work from home, to save heating the whole house all day, and it just keeps the chill off.

We now have 4 of these heaters, originally bought to keep the chill off the bathroom (old terrace house with galley kitchen extension and bathroom at far end, it works really well keeping the room warm. we have the rest in the back bedroom, main bedroom an attic, they aren't set high but provide enough heat to keep the rooms at a comfortable temperature and they don't cost a lot to run, take up very little space and are easily portable, cheaper than gas central heating. Not brilliant if you want to heat a huge area but very effective on smaller rooms, back bedroom is 12' by 16' with high ceilings and on a medium setting its working very well.
