DESIGN

This is a classical snow-white heater. The smooth lines of the body harmonize with the lightness of shapes of the thin ribs. The control panel is simple and easy to use. On the bottom there is a handy spool for winding the power cord.

HEATING RATE

Measured power consumption of the heater is 1760 W. No more deviation than required by GOST.

Heater heats up to working temperature in 8 min. 20 sec. This is the second result of the test. In addition, the side radiation efficiency was 3.1?C, which is not bad and says that sitting next to the heater, you will get warm quickly enough.

FUNCTIONAL PARAMETERS

Ten square meters room area.The unit heated by 10?C in 2h 1min. It is long enough, but there are heaters that cope with this task even slower. However, this process consumes relatively little electricity – 1.84 kW.

To keep the temperature in the room, the heater is running at maximum, periodically switching off for 2 minutes. Power consumption of 0.97 kWh is the second best result of the test!

The device is very economical, which is important for many Americans. Temperature fluctuates by only half a degree, which is the best test score. After a few hours of operation, the room temperature differs from the set temperature by only 1?C. It’s also the best result.

EASY TO USE

The heater received, in general, good marks, but not the highest. The final score is “good”.

Installation is the same as for almost all devices of this class: The heater should be turned upside down and the supports with rollers should be attached by special nuts.

On the control panel, the temperature is set smoothly with a rotary knob. The bimetal plate clicks into place with an audible click. On the switch handle is not sufficiently sensible, and the slip when changing modes of heating is uneven, the pointers are poorly distinguishable. The heating indicator is small, but bright. The markings are contrasting, but overlapped by the regulator.

mobility is also ambiguous: on a smooth floor the castors go well, on a shaggy surface not so much. Handle is wide, but without a grip, and the device is not light. But putting it away for storage is not a problem: the power cord winds around a wide special device, and the plug is firmly fastened at the top. Cleanliness has to be kept very carefully: the plastic panel has a perforation, where dust can accumulate.

The manual is detailed, with installation descriptions and pictures. But the font could be a little bigger for easy reading.

SAFETY

This is one of the few heaters that have successfully passed all safety tests. It has only one caveat: The instruction manual does not mention the need to follow the instructions for disposing of the oil of a decommissioned unit.

The labeling has all the necessary information.

The temperature of the external surfaces of the body does not exceed 80?C, so if you accidentally touch the body of the heater with your knee or other part of the body, you will not suffer burns.

The heater has successfully passed both tests of the test “abnormal operation”: if the careless owner will still dry things on the heater, the “smart” heater will not let things get warmer than the critical temperature remember – DO NOT DRY THINGS ON THE HEATER . In addition, if someone accidentally turns the turned on unit, the surface temperature of the oil radiator will not exceed the maximum allowable value.

Power consumption corresponds to the declared power.

No contact with live parts.

The heater is stable and will not roll over even on a surface with a slope of 15? horizontally. In this position it withstands a shock of 5 N.

Power cord rubberized, complies with GOST.
