      Links to me in bunnings always come ip with nothing

      You obviously have some computer problem.

      Here's the Direct link….

      https://www.bunnings.com.au/akai-2000w-black-flat-glass-pane…

      Yes, the link works.

      Otherwise, use the Bunnings search engine and enter the term "Akai 2000W Black Flat Glass Panel Heater"

          You must SET THE STORE LOCATION - which you may have denied when prompted in the past.

          On the webpage - find and click on "3 horiz lines" icon

          Choose "Store Locator".

          Choose an option, then "Set as my store".

        • llama on 01/06/2016 - 19:21

          @bwatt99:

          I tested by changing my Store to Obsbourne Park, and the Akai Heater vanished.

          So, I reckon you're correct re: WA stock. I am too lazy to check all WA stores, but you can if you like.

          But I found only 5 x fan heaters in whole category at that WA postcode

      You need to change your store on the bunnings website. Happens to me too with my store set to a WA store…

      So what you recommend im in a rental for bedrooms child friendly was thinking of gas heater for main lounge not sure what though

      • kazispeed on 01/06/2016 - 18:53

        For bedrooms, I would recommend Oil Column Heaters.

        Aldi has an 11-Fin Oil Column Heater for $69.99

        • bwatt72 on 01/06/2016 - 18:56

          Thanks but no aldi here yet grrr

        • StewBalls on 01/06/2016 - 19:00

          @bwatt99: Kmart, Target, BigW, Bunnings etc, etc all have very similar models for very similar prices…or less.

          For a kids room you definitely want an oil heater, the thermal transfer into the air is very efficient IME, and the exterior never gets hot enough for a serious burn like a radiant/element heater. They should all have tip-over cutoff nowadays, just in case the little terrors attack them too! ;)

        • kazispeed on 01/06/2016 - 19:00

          @llama: How about you chill.. I'm trying to help this guy out

          @bwatt99: The downside to fan heaters is that they can de-oxygenate the air, making the air dry and aggravating some people with respiratory conditions. Another issue, due to their horizontal design, is that fan heaters draw the air from the floor area, also drawing up allergens, pet fur and house dust. This can also aggravate some people with respiratory conditions

          Oil filled column heaters are simple by design. Heat energy is retained in the oil and air is warmed as it passes through the columns. The real positive with these types of heaters is that the air is very comfortable to breathe as it's not pumping dust and allergens into the environment. These types of heaters are a good heating solution for bedrooms, especially if you have babies or kids.

        • bwatt72 on 01/06/2016 - 19:30

          @StewBalls:

          Are kmart ones as good as others if say kmart,target,bunnings etc all sell these surely there not all same make one model better surely than others?

        • StewBalls on 01/06/2016 - 19:36

          @bwatt99: My two are from Target, they cost $44 each, and we've had no problems with them after a full winter's use.

          IMHO they're all pretty much the same at this price point, and they all do exactly the same thing (provided the wattages are the same)…sure, if you want to spend more you can get a nice brand name one like DeLonghi or Dimplex, but apart from a little more peace of mind & perhaps a slight increase in build quality, they should just be functionally equivalent.

          Wow, you need to work in marketing. BTW, that is bollocks :-)

          Another issue, due to their horizontal design, is that fan heaters draw the air from the floor area, also drawing up allergens, pet fur and house dust.

          If the house is full of those things, then they were already in the air before they fell to the floor! Which means that there is already heaps more of those things in the air.

          These types of heaters are a good heating solution for bedrooms, especially if you have babies or kids.

          I agree. So are flat panel heaters, or pretty much any other form of convection heater. If for no other reason than the surface temperatures are lower (toys left in front don't get cooked or melted), and they are heaps quieter.

        • bwatt72 on 03/06/2016 - 12:13

          @kazispeed:

          I looked at reviews on this brand was pretty bad was thinking of getting delonghi ones 1500w cost $99 each but can use my ebay vouchers from groupon to then cost $85 each.
          I believe they come with 7 yr warranty but what size of room does a 1500w recommend for?

        • kazispeed on 03/06/2016 - 12:43

          @bwatt99: I have the DeLonghi TRRS0715T 1500W Radia S Oil Column Heater in one of my bedrooms. Room size is 3.5m x 3.5m and it heats up the room nicely. You just need to turn it on 1-2 hours before you sleep. If I'm not mistaken, I think the Delonghi comes with a 2 year manufacturer warranty.

          I have another one which is an 11 fin 2400w from Kmart which I bought for $55 which works just as well. This one is in the master bedroom approx 4.5m x 5m. I have sleep apnoea so I prefer oil column heaters as fan heaters tend to make my throat really dry.

        • bwatt72 on 03/06/2016 - 13:22

          @kazispeed:

          Thats the model i was looking at what size room would this go upto without bring on all time?

          Same as you or just over kids room approx 4m x 4m or just under.

          But the master bedroom again approx same or maybe 5m x 5m or over and also has bathroom open planned.

          Im tempted on kmart ones but do they last?do they work? And whats the difference between them and say delonghi ones? Just name.

          As said with a voucher i can get the delonghi ones you have for $85 each.

          I have read some of these things have went on fire,or exploded but not sure what brands these was.

        • kazispeed on 03/06/2016 - 13:32

          @bwatt99: For 4m x 4m I would say 7 fin to 9 fin should be fine.

          With a larger master bedroom, my 11 fin does the job and I also have an open bathroom. I have the heater on the opposite side of the bed furthest away from the bathroom though. I have a small Kmart fan heater in the bathroom for when I get out of the shower. So far, I haven't found any issues with Kmart products. Keep the receipt and if it breaks, take it back for a refund.

        • bwatt72 on 03/06/2016 - 13:44

          @kazispeed:

          Then im as well going for kmart ones? But did wonder the difference apart from delonghi name is it really a better heater over the kmart one?
          Not that i have purchased electical stuff from kmart before but silly things just never lasted buying from kmart.

        • bwatt72 on 03/06/2016 - 13:49

          @kazispeed:

          What about a 1000w from kmart 5 fin is this ok for say a 4m x 4m room as dont see 1500w? From kmart

        • kazispeed on 03/06/2016 - 14:06

          @bwatt99: Might be a bit small

        • bwatt72 on 03/06/2016 - 15:27

          @kazispeed:

          What about a 2000w for the master room?
          And 1500w for the smaller room as mentioned might go for delonghi but unsure what sizes of ones i need.

        • kazispeed on 03/06/2016 - 16:06

          @bwatt99: 2000w for master should be fine but you will need to get on with 11 Fin. 1500w 7 Fin for smaller rooms should be sufficient

        • bwatt72 on 03/06/2016 - 16:49

          @kazispeed:

          Why 11 fins the 2000w one has 9 i believe

      • llama on 01/06/2016 - 18:55

        So what you recommend im in a rental for bedrooms child friendly

        A heater. Or an extra jumper.

        You cannot use gas in bedrooms, so that's your normal choices.

        Or deny them both, and spend the savings on Eneloops.

        • bwatt72 on 01/06/2016 - 18:57

          Yes i mean gas in main lounge got wall socket thing to plug on into.

        No pricier than any other 2000W electric heater.

        And all 2000W electric heaters output 2000W of heat. So, you either need that heat… or you don't.

        I simply cannot grasp the whole "shock horror, it cost me money to heat my house" sensationalism. Like, why is this a surprise to anybody?

    Last week it was the band-saw, this week it's a virtually-identical-heater.

  • bwatt72 on 03/06/2016 - 22:20

    So is there no guides to oil filled heaters what size is best for what sized room?

    • llama on 05/06/2016 - 13:37

      So is there no guides to oil filled heaters what size is best for what sized room?

      No. The size you need depends on the room itself, not the floor area. Also, what you need in Brisbane is different to Hobart, and what you need in the mountains is different to what you need near the coast.

      It's not rocket science. All you need to know is:

      a) Doesn't matter if it is oil heater or fan heater or what - all electric heaters have exactly the same output. So, you will not get ANY better performance from a $750 Dydon than you will from a $20 fan heater. NONE AT ALL. Repeat after me: They are all exactly the same.

      b) The main thing that you are battling is the heat loss from the room. A tiny draft or an uninsulated window will make a massive difference in the amount of power needed to heat a space. What are walls and floor and ceiling insulated with? Is it a house on piers, or a home unit with concrete floor and ceiling?

      c) The amount of power needed and the amount of power used are linked to the amount of temperature rise you need. So, what you need to consider is the temperature RISE (in degrees celcius). You need the same size heater in Darwin to heat from 20° to 25° as you'd need in Melbourne to heat the same room from 15° to 20° or in Hobart to heat the room from 10° to 15°

      d) Based on c), the hotter you want it, the more power it needs.

      e) For your own rooms, simply get any electric heater and test it. If it heats the room, then it is powerful enough, and any other electric heater of that power will also be powerful enough. It will cost you $15 for a cheap 2000W fan heater to test every room in your house. After testing, you still own a fan heater.

      f) If you only need a 1500 Watt heater to do everything you want, then a 2000W heater will not use more power to do it. The 2000W heater will use an average of 1500W just the same as the smaller heater. The only difference is that the 2000W one will get it to temperature FASTER.

      f) Based on e) - you are best to oversize heaters for each room. But make sure to have a thermometer and be a "thermostat nazi". Dropping it down even 1 or 2 degrees will make a massive overall change to power bills.

      g) You don't need a heater in a bedroom. The body produces it's own heat. Buy an electric blanket to pre-warm the bed, then use a decent doona or blanket. Nothing is more wasteful than heating rooms that are not being used… a bedroom is a perfect example of that (you are not using the room when you are sleeping.
