It is a small ceramic heater which plugs into any electric socket and claims to save 90% of heating cost.

Anyone bought one, does it work or is it snakeoil?

It's an electric heater so unless it's a heat pump which it isn't it will be 100% efficient like all electric heaters.

SCREAMS!!! scam to me.

It is an electric heater. As Lenny says. 100% efficient (more or less)

So the 90% more efficient claim raises the question. Compared to what and how does it achieve this physics breaking claim.?

then there is all the other stuff that is wrong.
"Heat your room instantly" really?

"Recommended by experts". Which experts? give links if it is true.

"8k happy customers" box. no link to the external review site.

The reviewer are not linked to an external site.


My opinion is they are a rip off scam. Selling a cheap electric heater worth about £10 for €107

 

[Graydo]

They are very small, not much bigger than the plug socket.
I would be very surprised if they heat a room substantially at all, happy to be proved wrong though.

Remind me of swamp cooler adverts.

Let us know how you get on if you buy one.

£12.99 new in Wiko's before they went to the wall, looks like they bought the stock up and selling on

Snake oil.

It's an 800 watt fan heater around 6" square.
Heats a room in minutes!.....what room, the cupboard under the stairs.
It certainly won't heat an average lounge in a rush

Small fan heater that may be fractionally more efficient than the one you already have.
As said above snake oil.

Hope no snakes ( not that am a snake fan ( pun intended! ) were injured during the manufacturer of these amazing heaters!!@

BBC radio 4 did a piece on it on their SB- or BS series. The upshot seemed to be they're efficient along the lines of already mentioned. However, it was also discovered heat is addictive, and the more you have the more you need. Office workers found them useful for very localised heat directed at their feet, outside of that B.S.

It's an 800 watt max fan heater with a small fan.
It will be marginally cheaper to run than a 2KW fan heater run at the 1KW setting but also not as good.

It's an 800 watt fan heater. It heats the air it blows out, and you can sit in front of it in the airflow and stay warm. If you compare the cost of running that to the cost of heating the whole of your house, it could possibly save 90% of heating costs. If you were happy to sit in its airflow all the time, and not move. So, technically each statement could possibly be justified, but, yes, it's a scam.
