Coldfighting 180W Far Infrared Panel Heater Electric Heater Panel Wall Mounted/Ceiling Mounted, Suitable for Use Under Desk,Living Room, Bedroom CO2-Free Energy Efficient Electric Heater

I have 2 of the small panels and one large. The small panels are ideal for one person, next to you in a home office or beside a sofa or armchair. I’m very careful when it comes to energy use at home and bought these as we only really use the lounge for most of the day/evening. I used the 2 smaller panels and our bioethanol fire last winter but my youngest is mobile now so decided to upgrade the panels instead of having the fire going, kids manage to get into everything they shouldn’t! The large panel works as I expected, heats up extremely quickly, doesn’t leave ‘cold spots’ around the room and as long as the door is shut, it doesn’t need to be on very long to keep a comfortable temperature. Of course it is cheaper than having the boiler running and heating the whole house and uses little more than a third of all the fan heaters that companies claim are cost efficient and low energy (even though they run at 2kw!) The only negative point about these heaters is the power lead, being 2m, they aren’t long enough to mount the panels on our ceiling without having to run extension cables up the wall. Other brands have optional 5m leads that you can purchase and it would be ideal if the manufacturer could make panels with the same. Also for those that aren’t aware, you can buy a thermostat plug which will switch the panel on or off for around £25 on amazon and maintain the room at the temperature you desire without you having to plug and unplug the panel throughout the day

Sits under my desk and keeps me warm in the winter in an office with no other heating.

I placed it just above my monitor. Heats my workspace and keeps me warm. You can see my thermostat on desk is reading 21c. Outside temp is 9c when that reading taken. The 180w won't travel much further beyond my workspace but thats all I need. Costs me about 5c snd hour to run and I don't need to turn on any other heating in room. I find on cold morning just need to turn on main heating in room for boost and then panel is sufficient to keep temperature comfortable after that around my desk area. If you want the heat to travel further then need to go up to the stronger wattage options. This is not like an normal convection heater its infrared rays that heat you and objects but not space i.e air just like the sun heats earth and you and does not heat space. Drops a star as no stand supplied and needs to be bought as an extra. It has screws to be bolted to a wall. Can't really be put on ceiling as power cord thick and only 2m long

Terrible product. Never shut off. Nearly burned the timber wall behind it.

The heater works well and efficiently heats up my 12 m² room. I use it with an aftermarket thermostat, and over a full day it consumes around 5 kWh of energy. The only downside is that the surface deforms slightly due to the heat. Overall, I recommend it for its efficiency, but the appearance may be a matter of personal preference.

I'm amazed how much heat comes off it for just 300W, I have it wall mounted 1 meter away from me, but it's too hot!, so I've just brought some Ceiling Hooks for Plasterboard, so I can hang it from the ceiling tomorrow, but also, I'm shocked how much it heats my 4x5m living room up, as it was 17C when I got in tonight, but in under an hour with it on the room is now 21C. I will buy more.

This was intended to keep me warm while I am sitting at a desk on my landing. For the first couple of hours I had it positioned to the side of me at a distance of approximately 60cm (24"), where it would be if I wall mounted it. I could just about feel the heat on the side of my face but not such that I felt significantly warmed by it. It is frequently stated that these heaters work by warming objects, which in turn radiate some of their heat back to the room. I have a matt black aluminium phone holder that was no more than 10cm (4") from the panel and it remained cold, even at that proximity, for the duration despite, as stated in other reviews, the panel itself becoming really quite hot. I then positioned it under the desk, in front of the vanity panel. This placed it at around 30cm (12") from my legs, and at that distance it warmed my knees quite nicely. However, if that's the best it can manage, you'd be better off with a cheap throw/blanket and not incurring running costs. The unit has been returned.

Bought as a second panel for my small workshop/shed. This has now been running for 48 hours and seems fine to me. Gives out a similar amount of heat to another similarly sized panel from another supplier. Good for small areas. Cheap to run too if the information is correct.👍
