CamelCamelCamel.
How much it cost to run?
At least ~$0.80 per hour
Thats cheap
@Zeee: All resistive heaters are similarly expensive. Cheapest space heating is heat pump/reverse cycle AC.
@pixxelpusher: Personal heating: heated blankets, heated jackets etc. space heating in shitty drafty houses without insulation is an expensive endeavour.
@pixxelpusher: Mould grows in moisture and darkness.
You don't necessarily need heat to stop humidity build up - light and air movement should do it
@King Tightarse: Most people I feel have heating on a lot. Warmer clothes and moving around a bit with windows down in winter works for me lol I usually use heated blankets or hot water bottle for sleeping 😴
@King Tightarse: Not sure if that applies to small dingy rentals that rarely get much light, in freezing cold parts of the country where in winter if you open a window you just get more cold damp air coming in. Turning off heating, and rooms sit at about 10-12 degrees. But I'm no expert at all, just know what I've been told form others and that's you need lots of heating if living in the coldest parts
Especially if you've got panels and a battery.
The same as every other 2000W heater… and give out the same amount of power…. unless you're talking about reverse cycle heaters.
How is this different to my rtx 5090? Its also a 100% efficient heater.
Its only 98%, theres 2% in between noise and the sound of scalpers crying they cant get rid of stock.
All resistance heaters are 100% efficient, unless they do other things as well… like perhaps light up a holy virgin statue …. or process massive amounts of data. :)
I think an oil column heater at this price is crazy cheap, ordered one, thanks op.
oil column heater would be more efficient compare to panel heater?
No. It takes longer to heat up, but also longer to cool down. The panel heater will cost the same for a certain amount of heat.
Bought an Ausclimate heater a few months ago said normal price was around $400 and was on sale for like $50… and the thing constantly smelled of melting plastic… Put it in my room and it smelt bad all night. Checked the PowerPoint the next day and it melted into the PowerPoint… Almost burnt the house down. I'll stick with the trusty delongi oil heater never had any issues, fav brand.
*Note. Wiring in the house is oldish so, might have just been the house I'm in, then again, I use the delongi and never had the smell or issue. I might have just got a bad unit and been unlucky
Thanks for the feedback. Unrelated to the Ausclimate heater, the Goldair oil heater has a fire risk too.
Also it said the normal price was around $400 but when I received the unit if felt cheap lightweight and flimsy the plastic casing was thin. Didn't feel like a quality product. I'll stick to the big trusted brands with good reviews. Not worth the risk for myself atleast
I been using Delongi oil heater, the thing is a beast and never had an issue, it's not a digital one. Does the job perfectly every night for years, and I can fall asleep and not worry about it when I wake up so far. I got a good unit I think

The only thing that is smart or inverter is the writing on the box. False advertising.
Just a heads up on the risk of fire with the Goldair 2400W Oil Column Heater according to these 2 reviews on Amazon.

Well done trixieb - good info
Ordered earlier, then I cancelled.
cancelled mine after reading reviews. cheers
Bought a few from the last deal. No issues yet but doesn't heat up the room that well.
Jaysus… going by the comments, these heaters should be reported to the electrical safety board, or whatever its actually called…
Reviews are usually heavily biased. Nobody is going to specifically go online to give a heater a 5 star review. Its not like new tech where people are amazed and may be incentivised to give a review.
When there is a problem, however…
energy retailers love these things. makes them bank in winter
Some boofhead negged you…. hard to know why when you're stating blatant truth.
Back in the day when I needed one, I went for Noirot. Lifetime warranty. Now that I don't use it, I've gifted it to family. We've replaced once because the built in timer played up.
Parents have a Noirot in one of the small bedrooms. Last time I was there in winter the room got really hot, and I think it's only a 1000W version. I wonder what's the difference between Noirot and Ausclimate models?
I don't know, but we liked the noirot a lot. It reaches the set temp quick, and then cycles on-off to keep it there. With good insulation / draft-control, it was excellent.
The warranty was excellent. We made sure to buy them from Good Guys - you have to return them to the place of purchase and there's always a Good Guys somewhere in most major cities I think.
We don't use the noirot anymore as we've moved to a super-insulated place.
Just pulled the pin on the 1500W model, also had a $5 off coupon which brought it to $64.80. But now reading the comments on here wondering about their reliability. Guess I can always send it back to Amazon if I notice anything odd.
Currently heating some rooms with like $25 kmart osiclating heaters. they got some weird smell everytime you turn them on but it goes away.
Other options in my house are old fish oil heater thingies but we don't use em cause of the dust n stuff that's on them from months build up.
How are these wall panel thingies are they more efficient ? I know the kmart fan heater obv doesn't do much and the heat disappears quickly when turned off.
They are not more efficient.
Put the same amount of power in…. you get the same amount of heat out.
The only difference is that some heater absorb the heat, then slowly release it from their thermal mass… and others don't absorb any significant amount of heat, and you feel it straight away.
Leave a panel heater, an oil heater, a bar heater and a fan heater of the same power consumption on in a room for the same amount of time… and the room will heat up the same amount.
If you're only wishing to heat a small area such as right next to you the answer is a fan heater. If you're wishing to heat the whole room for hours, buy the cheapest which isn't going to burn itself up if left on for hours.
Yeah, i think the metal thingies hold the heat lonfer and some of them have sleep functions which is useful if they auto turn off and that too
Yep… I've got no grumpies about if they advertise and have extra functions like sleep and auto timer….
the metal thingies that hold the heat longer…. warm up slower…
@rooster7777: I don't mind it heating slower, since I want it to use it during sleep or if it's really cold in the morning or evening
Got the Ausclimate 2000W last time it was on sale and it has been fantastic. Importantly, the thermostat seems pretty accurate.
Fake advertising…. someone should be locked up.
"inverter technology, 3x efficiency" for something with a resistance heating element is bare faced lying.
All resistance element heaters put out the same amount of heat, with the same efficiency… which is appalling compared to split systems.
A fan heater blows warm air on you and you feel it immediately, turn if off and the feel of hot air stops immediately.
An oil (resistance) heater takes a long time to warm up, and holds heat for a long time… but you barely feel it unless its been on for hours, or it is fan assisted.
A bar heater might immediately heat the immediate vicinity, or slowly heat an area depending on its thermal mass.
The simple TLDR is that there is no magic in any heater that's not reverse cycle (split system or ducted)
you can pay $20 or be sucked into paying $2000…. they will all put out the same amount of heat.
100% efficiency
