When you take this radiator out of its box, it immediately gives an impression of robustness. With its compact dimensions of 40 cm x 30 cm x 25 cm (15.7 x 11.8 x 9.8 inches), it does not take up much space and fits easily into any room. The wheels at the base? A blessing. I was able to effortlessly move it from room to room, even after a grueling day.
As soon as it turned on, I felt its power of 1,500 watts. In less than 10 minutes, my living room (30 m²/322 ft²) went from 18°C (64°F) to a comfortable 23°C (73°F). But that’s not all. In eco mode, the device automatically manages the temperature, which, according to my calculations, reduced my energy consumption of the room by around 20%. A real plus for my wallet!
And the silence? A real whisper. So much so that while working next to it, I had to listen to see if it was still working. One evening, after shoveling snow, I sat right outside, covered in ice. Within two minutes the heat had completely warmed me up. A mini portable sugar shack!
However, all is not rosy. The thermostat sometimes seems to act like a diva: it does frequent tests by turning it on and off, a bit like a capricious switch. Not disturbing, but noticeable. And watch out for the sticker on the top: the glue has left an unsightly mark.
With minimal maintenance, such as cleaning the rear filter regularly, this device could well replace your good old space heater. And unlike other heaters, it doesn’t dry out the air, a crucial point for avoiding croc skin in winter.
