Excellent product, my partner works in a fairly cold room and this gives off enough heat to keep her completely warm. Fitted a dimmer switch as it was sometimes too warm.
Brillant going to get 2 more very eco on electric
Clean gets hot quick.
Would reccomend.
Like others mine came with an EU plug. Most EU-UK adapters don’t have an earth so using them with this could be lethal. To be safe I snipped the EU plug off and wired on a UK plug, but really it’s outrageous that in 2023 Amazon still sells stuff that could kill people without electrical knowledge.
On the upside this is my first IR panel and I have to say it’s brilliantly effective. When heating a single room it’s cheaper than central heating and it gets you warmed up quickly even when you’re not right next to it. Only downside is once it’s off it cools down fairly quickly too. If you’re using a resistive or electric oil radiator this feels a lot warmer than a 300w heater typically would so certainly worth looking at.
Fitted this in small cloak room with a thermostat and it is keeping it at a constant temperature great product.
Note(Tip): You need to purchase the stand(feet) seperately for portable use.
Can be slightly frustrating adjusting these when heater is portrait way up, so be mindful it doesn’t full forward or cause yourself or someone else injury, so have someone assist you if possible.
Otherwise overall, really grateful and a happy customer!
I have it underneath my study table by my legs while I work as advised here in the other reviews. I have barely used my blow heater since which eats electricity. In the long run it’s definitely going to save me a lot of money. Obviously won’t heat a room but for one person at a table with the back enclosed it’s ideal. Probably the best thing I have purchased in a while because of the money I will save. Thank you!
I normally use a dyson fan to heat the room but this panel gives so much heat to my legs under the desk and will save me heating the whole room unnecessarily.
Was going to send back after it didn’t work for a room but perfect for this application. Easily mounted, I just drove 2 screws through the gable. (Old desk so didn’t care)
Installed with a smart plug so that it comes on and goes off automatically
It’s a different kind of heat, but it’s almost instant and feels like you’re next to a warm radiator even though it only has 400 W of heat or electricity used. Rather it feels more powerful has builds over time because it heats up its surroundings are used to heat my workshop with a fan heater 2000w but this works so well, I’d say it was more beneficial, especially if you’re stood underneath or anywhere near the actual panel
Good low cost heating but takes some getting use to as only heat’s direct at fro
I installed for of these (600W) on the angled ceiling/wall (around 45deg) in sunroom/conservatory (approx. 20m3. 2 on one side, two on the other. Room temp from 16deg to 20deg goes in less than an hour. Extremely happy with it. I wasn’t expecting they gonna work so well especially in the high ceiling room like this one.
I have one of these (720W) in the 9m2 bathroom on the ceiling and it doesn’t work as good as that quad setup. Well, much lower power/cubature ratio.
Using smaller versions in other rooms.
Latest energy bills are so much lower than we’d expected.
Should not be used for more than 12 hours at a time, without turning off for a while.
I’m not going to rate the heater badly as I didn’t claim to know what 600W is like, the heater could do with being bigger however I like the quality for the price so will probably move it to a different room & get another for the spot I originally intended.
Bought for Additional heat for office workspace but not quite as powerful as we thought infared would be, even in a small space, although it does have a nice gentle way of radiating.
Purchased this to place under my desk to economically keep my legs warm in a large cold room and it achieves this fine, but it is nowhere near powerful enough as a full room heater.
My panel came with a 1.8m lead and standard UK plug, it was fused with a 13A fuse which is far too high when a 3A fuse would do (Easy to change). I confirmed the earth is connected through to the metalwork of the panel which is needed for safety.
In use with my room at the panel’s “maximum recommended ambient temperature of 20C” (According to the enclosed leaflet) the front plastic-like surface of the panel was measured at 70C, this was surprisingly high and would cause a burn very quickly if touched. The rear aluminium backing of the panel measured around 45C which is touchable but not for long. The frame and hanging rails stabilised at around 38C. There was some buckling of the front surface when hot which disappeared when cooled down. I would have preferred a larger panel which ran a little cooler to get the same heating effect. (Instead of having 1kW per square meter like this panel, say something like 750W per square meter would have been better for me.)
In my application (Not room heating) I need very little heat so I intend connecting this small 300W panel via a 400W lighting dimmer switch to provide me with “dimmable” heat. I’ll probably fit a “room style” thermostat as well for safety as it will be left unattended.
Final note – The heat radiation from the front of the panel is not directed in any way, it spreads out in all directions (Unlike a beam of sunlight). If you are more than 15″ or so away from the panel you do not feel much/if any direct heat at all – The panel will still be putting out all its heat into the room just not directly at you.
It warms you up from inside. After half an hour near it it feels like I start radiating heat myself. And it healed my knee pain. Perfect appliance for sitting at the desk or in the lounge also in the bathroom, cheap and very effective. I bought complimentary feet and it stands on the floor. It doesn’t have a switch, so I have to switch it off at the socket though.
Its amazing for the heat panel to heat a single room instead of turn on the radiator for cost efficiency. Its a saving in enery.
Unlike some panels, the rear is cool to the touch. It’s lightweight but seems well made. No unusual offgas smell, either. Happy with my purchase.
Seller is very responsive and helpful. They assure me that the latest batch of products in the warehouse have either the correct UK plugs or a safe adaptor.
They’re half, or even a quarter, the price of other brands, so I’m happy to deal with the issues, but they’re best suited for those capable of electrical DIY.
The pictures look great, the plain white panels are plain and white, and inoffensive.
Edit – I just spent two hours trying to fit this on the ceiling. Four screws, then slide the panel on to them. Simple, right? No. It was more difficult than any other job I’ve done, because I can’t see or feel, it’s pure guesswork. And when one corner goes on, the others don’t – OK, I’ll slide it back off again now I know where it needs to go… But it won’t let go. I think I may have caught three, or possibly four screws, after about 200 attempts. Even now I’m not certain it’s properly fixed – but I’m not wasting any more time on this. If I did, I wouldn’t need a heater – the frustration warmed me up!
Now all is good and I am very satisfied. The panel is a great secondary heating resource in my living room,and is very effective and cost effective to run.
Good product and overall pleased with the seller.
I would recommend it to anyone, for us it’s working very well. For all the people interested make sure you buy the right one for the size of your room.
