    Have u used it OP?

    • Nah .. Planning to get one soon based on the reviews !

    2000 watts should get your meter spinning

    • Spinning efficiently at least

      • +1

        It's hundreds of percent less efficient than using an air conditioner. Typically 300% to 400%.

        • Small inverter models now do 500% .
          Even the cheap Hisense recently posted here claims CoP of 4.85.

          • @bargaino: Claims that are not measured real results, the industry allows calculated results, in the past Daikin were the only ones doing actual physical testing.

        • You must be high on something. This is a heater. You convert electricity to heat, that's near 100% efficiency right there.
          Unless you can explain based on conservation of energy, where the "inefficiency" (up to 80% of the electricity not converted to heat) wen, how do you get 400% more heat from 100% efficiency?

          • @dotJaz: Late response, but reverse cycle can convert one elictrical unit to 3 heat units.

    Anyone know how it compares to the $95 2200W Arlec ones at Bunnings? They look very similar so that RRP seems dubious

    • +11

      Kogans RRP is always ridiculously high to give the illusion of a bargain when 9.9/10 times it's on sale

    • +1

      I have the Bunnings one and and it works great. I'd definitely rather get it from there, opposed to Kogan.

  • Picked this up at Kmart this arvo, and have set the auto timers. My bedroom is nice and cosy on the lowest 750w setting. The sweetener is that it only cost $29. Not as stylish but does the job

    • i've got something similar, the only problem is after a couple of years, it will start noisily with the fan on, so as long as you use convection or stand the noise, else it'll go to the tip

      • And you can't watch anything on it.

    I got this one last year when it came down to $69.99 and of course 2 weeks later it was further reduced to $49.99.
    It’s bigger than I thought, looks like. The beep when you turn is on and are changing setting etc are very loud for some reason. Warms ok. I wouldn’t rave about it, but did the job for me last winter. Did make an impact on my electricity bill but not too bad. I don’t regret buying, but at the same time I’m not jumping for joy over it.

    Really don't spend more than you need to with electric plug in heaters. They are generally cheap to buy but cost lots to run - they all turn 1 unit of electricity into 1 unit of heat.

    Compare to a reverse cycle split that converts one unit of electricity into 4-5 units of heat. Much Much cheaper to run!

    • But first you have to pay about $1500 for the aircon. How long will it take you to recover this cost?

      • +1

        Well I use them as my main source of heating. Wouldn't take me long at all, since they cost 20- 25% of the power to run compared to plug in heaters.

        Run a couple of plug in heaters regularly over winter and the power bill is over a grand for the quarter.

        Just calculate the difference in cents per hour and multiply by hours running.

        As I said, air cons are for the long term but the Breakeven point wouldn't be that long, and bonus you get cooling in summer.

    • Is there are guide somewhere on how this actually works as I've never understood how it can be the case (happy to learn though!).

      Seems illogical especially if a reverse cycle is pulling in and heating cooler air from outside using fans etc all the time while an indoor heater like this is heating already partially heated air inside.

      • +2

        Certainly. It was a learning experience for me too, when I looked into how heat pump technology works. The piping between the indoor and outdoor units only contains the refrigerant. Air is not transferred from outside to inside, and the main difference unlike plug in heaters which use electricity to heat the air, A/C actually move the heat from inside to outside, and they reverse this cycle (hence the term reverse cycle) in winter to bring the heat inside from outside.

        It's very similar technology that runs your fridge and in more modern hot water electric systems compared to an element hot water storage tank.

        Here's a basic video to help explain it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QykwWs3L1W8 - 0:54 to 5:00

        The indoor and outdoor units have separate fans, but these are just to draw air over their respective coils. To this end, the indoor unit of a split system simple sucks air from the top of the unit from room air, draws it over the coil, and out the fins. The pipework that links the indoor and outdoor units is to carry the refrigerant gas. This is a closed loop between the indoor and outdoor units and the gas just flows between them. Air does not mix with this.

        Hope this helps.

    • Never knew this. I always assumed that air-con would be more expensive to run.

      Thanks for the great info!

  • +1

    Bought one of these the other week for less than 99, it arrived faulty, the thermostat was broken, going through the hellsome process of trying to get it replaced with kogan now!

  • A reminder that all electric heaters are practically 100% efficient and none will heat any better than others, so pick whatever you find most comfortable. Panel, oil, blow, whatever, they are all exactly the same in terms of "how much does this cost to heat up a room". If I had to buy any electric heater I would go and buy the cheapest possible heater from Kmart.

    As opposed to a heat pump (air conditioner) which can be 300-400% efficient.

    • That's true but heaters can be used in different ways.
      For example you might use a radiant heater on 50% setting (say at 1100 watts) within a meter or two of the couch and have a very comfortable, warm personal heating without ever heating the entire room.
      In the above case, perceived comfort would be more than adequate and cost 1100 watts x time @ your power costs. An oil heater would need to run for several hours at a full 2400 watts to attempt to heat the air of the entire room (much harder in draughty houses or large spaces) before its thermostat shuts off and begins cutting on and off. The power used would be 2400 watts for the same time period + 2-3 hours to warm up (minus the off cycle).
      IE well and truly more than double.

  • This heater has very bad reviews. Alot of people are complaining about how it can't go above 21 degrees and it only radiate heat upwards not outwards around it.
