⚡ At a Glance
- • Heating Performance: Steady output from a sealed 500W thermal oil system, quicker to take the chill off desks and small corners than fan heaters
- • Best for: Small bedrooms, home offices, nursery corners and caravans needing quiet, portable heat
- • Not ideal for: Large open-plan rooms where higher output heaters are required
Sealed thermal oil stores and releases heat from a 500W element across five slim fins. Slim 130mm body and 3.5kg weight make the heater easy to move and position.
Quiet, continuous warmth with sealed thermal oil
A sealed thermal oil reservoir absorbs energy from the internal 230V element and releases heat gradually through five fins, avoiding fan noise. Fan-free circulation produces steady convection without moving parts.
Whisper-quiet operation makes the radiator suitable for bedrooms and baby rooms, allowing all-night use without disruptive sound. The gradual heat release keeps small zones comfortably warm for longer between cycles.
Space-saving portability with a slim 5-fin profile
A 130mm narrow body and integrated carry handle are combined with a lightweight 3.5kg build, allowing easy lifting and storage. The five-fin layout increases surface area for efficient heat transfer from the oil to the room air.
Slim dimensions slide between furniture and fit under desks or beside sofas, ideal for small flats and caravans. Carry handle and low weight mean the heater moves from room to room with minimal effort.
Safer, energy-conscious heating with adjustable thermostat and cut-outs
A simple adjustable dial cycles the 500W element to maintain a set temperature, reducing continuous power draw. Built-in tip-over switch and overheat sensor cut power to the 230V element instantly if knocked or blocked.
Dial control trims energy use by preventing constant full-power running, helping keep running costs down in small spaces. Safety cut-outs give reassurance in family homes, student digs and pet-friendly rentals.
