2500W 11-Fin Oil Heater - Safe for Bedrooms & Babies | Heats 250 sq ft | Aluminium | 1yr Warranty

Overview

An oil filled radiator works differently from a fan or quartz heater. Instead of blowing air or glowing to produce instant heat, its eleven fins are filled with diathermic oil that warms up gradually and then radiates steady heat into the room for a long time, even after the element switches off. That makes this 2500W model a good fit for rooms where you want even, background warmth rather than a quick blast, and it covers spaces of up to roughly 23 square metres, close to 250 square feet.

Key Benefits

• Sealed diathermic oil, so there is nothing to refill and no smell of burning dust
• Runs close to silently, with no fan and no moving parts to hear
• Three heat settings (1000W, 1500W and 2500W) plus an adjustable thermostat for fine control
• Tip-over switch and overheat protection cut power automatically if the unit falls or overheats
• Aluminium fin construction at roughly 12kg, light enough to move on its own castor wheels
• Covers rooms up to about 23 square metres, around 250 square feet

Performance

Because the heat comes from warmed oil rather than a fan, this radiator is naturally quiet, which is exactly why oil heaters are the type most often recommended for bedrooms, nurseries and rooms used by babies, older family members, or anyone with asthma or allergies. There is no blowing air to stir up dust, and the surface, while warm, does not glow or reach the kind of extreme temperature you get from a quartz element. The trade-off is speed: it takes longer to feel the room warm up compared with a fan heater, since the oil needs time to heat through. Once it does, it holds that heat efficiently, and the thermostat cycles the element on and off rather than running constantly, which helps manage electricity use over a long evening. The controls are simple, one dial for wattage and one for temperature, so there is nothing complicated to learn, and castor wheels on the base mean you are not lifting 12kg of aluminium and oil every time you move it between rooms.
