About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
FOLLOWING FURTHER DISCUSSION IN THE THREAD, IT SEEMS THIS PRODUCT IS SUBJECT TO AN OVER-HEATING FAULT, WHICH MAY RESULT IN FIRE.
WHILE THIS MAY APPEAR TO BE A HOT DEAL, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM.
Browsing ebuyer, I came across 3 great bargains on oil filled heaters/radiators:
7 fin version - was £35.98, now only £12.69
9 fin version - was £39.99, now only £14.45
11 fin version - was £49.99, now only £16.28
Also, spend over £24.99 this weekend and delviery is free!
The great thing about oil filled heaters is they are cheaper to run than most of the alternatives, and instead of offering quick blasts of heat, these radiate heat at a constant level.
Plenty in stock for all 3 models - go bag a bargain!

You're welcome.
I also bought 2 of these as my current one is great - a Dimplex 9 fin, cost £40 last year, and even then it was reduced from £60.
The only difference I can see between the dimplex and these is lack of a digital timer built in, and the name.
I really doubt such heaters can be found elsewhere for anywhere near these prices.
I notice on the site there is a review on the 11 fin one saying this..
'I brought two of these and overall i'm happy. One was a little beat up so clearly they've not been treated that well on their travels. Where the slight dents are slight rust had formed, but it's not too bad and doesn't affect the functionality. '
I havent used ebayer before - are the items new?
As previsouly answered - the oil is sealed within. You simply need to plug it in, twiddle the dial to set the temperature, and enjoy.
If you need a timer, why not buy those cheap plug adapter timers from argos (...also stocked in many other stores) to work with it? I recall they were offering a pack of 3 for ~£4 quite recently?
Exact running costs I am unsure of, but if you need to heat somewhere in your home, id be surprised if you could do it much cheaper than with one of these.
Less efficient than a fan heater? I find that very hard to believe.
You're having a laugh.
They will take a while to heat up, thats the nature of the product.
Ages!? Come on - my current one takes about 5-7 mins to get really hot, and then continues to warm the room for a good while when unplugged.
"Arent very efficient......better off with a fan heater"
- Im sorry, but i think you should do some research before posting such rubbish. These are VERY efficient, whereas fan heaters are not as power is continually used to heat the element, and is also wasted on turning the fan!!!
Heres a professional opinion (stolen from an energy efficiency site):
"Oil-filled radiators are highly energy efficient since the heating element inside does not need to be on constantly. Once the oil is heated, it continues to release the warmth gradually keeping the room at a comfortable temperature even with the internal element turned off. Also, this space heater is free of noise, since they do not have a fan"
Well it states they are 1500w so 1.5kw. 1.5kwh at 10p per kwh = 15p per hour.
But depends on how much you pay for you electric but 10p is an average.
That's fine then, you believe what you want, i've had both and I know what I ended up with..
Thanks for the lecture though....
If quick heating is required then fan heaters are better.
1200w is good for a small to medium sized room.
Even cheaper because in any 1 hour the thermostat may turn the heater off for short periods...........unless you live in scotland........
So it's rubbish, hence the cheap price?
Do I buy this, yes or no?
no go for the halogen heaters .. they are very good and easily portable efficient and cheap to run
They can only use the rated eg 1500 watts as they warm up andgive it all back when they turn off.........every heating appliance can only return in heat what it takes in power.........oil,fan,cryogenic,halogen,two sticks,otherwise perpetual motion comes into play.........
To the person wanting to heat the conservatory. Look into infrared heaters, yes they will cost you more to buy but as it only heats you and not all the cold air will be more use in your conservatory.
Yes they will take longer to heat as the oil has to be warmed up first but the rest of your statement is wrong a fan heater is designed to give a blast of local heat these give out constant radiated warmth,
infra red heaters also known as halogen heaters.
Its not a case of me believing what i want - while im no expert on these, i did my research prior to my previous purchase, and am simply looking at the facts.
You may have chosen to use a fan heater as you prefered the immediate blast of heat. Great. But were talking about the running fees.
For those unsure of the costs, and which type of heater is best for you, theres an energy efficiency comparison table from Npower in this document:
npower.com/At_…pdf
Obviously you will need to adjust the figures, depending on the model of oil filter purchased, and the heat setting applied.
You could assume the comparison is between a 0.5kw oil radiator and a 2kw fan heater for a reason..........
Dont you dare talk about my mother in law like that
but you are not comparing halogen heaters (aka infra red or quartz) to the oil radiator. in that comparison test the halogen wins hands down for instant efficient portable heating..
Look into my eyes, not around the eyes but in the eyes.....
You're under........
Don't buy this heater, instead put all your cash in a brown envelope and mail it to me.......

You could be (probably are) right. Im just arguing against the point made earlier that fan heaters are more energy efficient than oil filled, as they are not.
If halogen heaters are more efficient than oil filled heaters, is it by much?
If it is, then i apologise for posting this deal, and suggest you get a halogen.
If not, are the halogen heaters cheaper than these to buy? Yes = go halogen. No = its up to anyone interested to perform their own calculations based on usage.
One other thing, aren't halogen heaters the ones that glow a bright orangey-red?
