After reading other reviews about this item I decided to purchase the heater. This was the first time I decided on an electric oil filled radiator heater to get the family through the winter chill. Well I can say I was a bit dubious  about  whether the heat output would be good enough. I was pleasantly very surprised and delighted at the results. This heater warms up quickly and once it gets going the heat output is of a good standard. It heats a large extension bedroom with no problem. The added benefit of the timer means I can set the heater to switch on and off independently. Or even have it on a constant heat setting if required.  Very pleased with this purchase.
