Warmth, comfort and favorable microclimate: TOP-5 oil coolers

Under the wing of the Saturn company, high-quality and inexpensive household appliances are produced. The "blond" ST-OH0446 from the category of available oil heaters has 8 sections at its disposal and "shparit" at a power of up to 2000 watts, coping with maintaining a comfortable microclimate on an area of up to 20 m².

The model belongs to the genus of "grey mice", well, or "workhorses" — it does not stand out in anything remarkable, simply and without too much pathos performing the tasks of heating that are shouldered. The device heats up for a long time and cools down just as slowly. The accumulated heat continues to flow from the radiator even some time after the power supply is turned off.

The heater has three operating modes: it operates in the power ranges from 800 to 2000 watts with an intermediate position of 1200 watts. Bringing the temperature to the required level is carried out using a built-in thermostat with the function of automatically maintaining the set parameters.

At the beginning of the operation of the heating device, heating is often accompanied by the appearance of a persistent smell of paint, which eventually completely disappears. Also, in the reviews of the model, they sometimes blame the insufficiently good heat dissipation of the device. Taking into account the democratic price tag of the heater, you can safely close your eyes to these shortcomings. The model is available for all consumer layers, captivating with ease of handling, ease of transportation and the provision of a two-year warranty for the product.

The Austrian brand First specializes in the production of a wide range of home appliances. One of the fields of activity of the company is climate and heating. To help an inefficient heating system or for the off-season period, an oil radiator with the name FA 5582-5 will be useful.

The model in the 9-section version is the base in the line, consuming 2200 watts of power in the "full power" mode. Moreover, the heater does not dry the air, works silently and boasts a high degree of fire safety. The device can "heat" both at full power and at less "voracious" values — a mechanical handle on the front panel of the heater housing is involved in switching between the trinity of modes.

Upon reaching the set temperature, First FA 5582-5 switches to maintaining a comfortable microclimate in the room. In this matter, you should trust the built-in thermostat. The best "dwelling" for an oil—filled radiator is a room with an area of 20-22 m². It is this quadrature of the model that can be effectively heated.

The heater heats up the room quickly enough, and when the power is turned off, it retains heat for a long time. Heating and cooling of the model sections is accompanied by a characteristic crackling, inherent in the lion's share of oil radiators. There are no particularly negative sides to the First FA 5582-5, and the excellent balance of price and functional qualities of the model puts it in the light of one of the most preferred options for purchase among the oil radiators of the affordable segment.

The AEG trademark is used by the renowned Swedish Electrolux concern for the production of all kinds of household appliances. Among them is the oil—filled radiator RA 5521, assembled from 9 sections.

On "maximalki" (in the power mode of 2000 watts), the models can cope with heating the room with a quadrature of more than 20 m². Noticeably warmer in the room becomes already 10 minutes after the power supply to the device from a household outlet. In order to save on electricity bills, the heating force can be screwed (literally) — one of the rotary regulators on the front panel of the device housing is busy with switching power modes 800/1200/2000 watts.

To maintain a comfortable temperature regime in the dwelling, AEG RA 5521 is armed with a thermostat. The control knob is peacefully adjacent to the aforementioned "twister" of power. The activity of the heater is indicated by an unobtrusive red light indication, which does not particularly attract attention to its person in the dark.

The device is based on a quartet of transport rollers, and it is proposed to roll it on the floor for an improvised handle. One of the disadvantages of the heater is connected with it — it is simply inconvenient to take up the handle, which is noted in almost every second review of the model. AEG RA 5521 has no other serious shortcomings. The oil radiator is good in business and safe in operation. Rapid heating, as well as auto—off systems in case of overturning and shutdown in case of overheating are the best confirmation of this.

What is not in the range of products of the Slovenian company Gorenje. One of the solutions for heating a home or office is an oil-filled heater OR 2000 MM. Its 9 sections can effectively raise the temperature in a small room with an area of about 20 "squares".

Unlike colleagues on the shop floor, who enter the working mode decorously and impressively, the model heats up quickly and provides high heat transfer. The temperature in the room is growing literally before our eyes. The heating intensity is adjusted by turning two switch wheels: power (800/1200/2000 W) and the desired temperature.

The thermostat in the assets of Gorenje OR 2000 MM turned out to be highly accurate. That's just its on/off relay clicks too loudly, which can be noticeably audible at night. An overheating protection system has been installed for the additional equipment of the oil radiator, which allows the device to be operated for a long time without power off. In which case, when the critical temperature is reached, the heater will turn off automatically.

For the convenience of moving around the perimeter of the dwelling, the model is mounted on swivel wheels and equipped with a handle. In addition, the oil-filled radiator has a protrusion for winding the power cord. Also, the heater has an older brother in the person of Gorenje OR 2500 MM 11 section 2.5 kW , sharpened for work in larger premises (over 25 m².).

The second name of the brainchild of the Italian brand De'Longhi is Dragon 4. The fourth generation of the oil—filled "dragon" is built of 8 sections with an increased area of ribs to ensure the highest heat transfer.

The so—called fireplace effect contributes to the rapid heating of the room in which the heating device has settled — improved natural air circulation due to the cracks made in the housing to enhance traction. The effect in this case is not as lightning-fast as that of radiators with a thermal fan, but it is much better than that of the classics of the genre of oil heaters.

Against the background of peers, the model stands out with an LED screen that serves to set the readings of an electronic thermostat, switch between heating modes (800/1200/2000 W) and activate a 24-hour timer. In a separate line, the ECO function is placed on the radiator control panel, which is responsible for optimizing energy consumption without compromising the quality of heating. The sections of the heating device are heated strongly enough to heat the room with a cubic capacity of about 60 cubic metres.

Among other utilities, De'Longhi TRD4 0820E assets have a freeze protection mode. But not the device itself, but the unheated room — the temperature in it will stay at around 5 °C to avoid freezing of the walls and the spread of dampness. This function is a "must have" for the winter period for owners of country houses and utility rooms. Summing up, the conclusion suggests itself — although the radiator is not a cheap pleasure, the model costs 100% of its money.

The Scarlett SC 21.2009S3 oil radiator, easy to handle and unpretentious in operation, is a godsend for those who are looking for an affordable solution to help an inefficient district heating system or to heat a home in the off—season.

The model is built of 9 sections and will find itself in rooms with a square of up to 20 m². To heat smaller rooms, you can look at the younger brothers of the radiator in the face of Scarlett SC 21.1005S3 5 section 1 kW and Scarlett SC 21.1507S3 7 section 1.5 kW , and in the maximum configuration, the device is sharpened to provide heat to rooms up to 25 m² (Scarlett SC 21.2311S3B 11 section 2.3 kW ).

The principles of heating device control can be easily understood by both old and young. The user will only need to choose one of three power modes (800, 1200 or 2000 watts) and "wind up" the readings of the desired heating temperature. Scarlett's brainchild maintains a constant indoor microclimate on an ongoing basis in automatic mode. Slightly smooth out the positive impressions, except that non-intuitive designations of power modes near the corresponding "wheel".

As usual, the heater is placed on a base with swivel wheels and equipped with a transport handle. The overheating protection function is responsible for the safety of its operation. On the shelves of stores, the model is presented in classic white and in a spectacular black vestment, which will decorate its presence with exquisite interiors. Well, the main trump card in the sleeve of the oil radiator is a tasty price tag.

Climate control equipment and heaters are the backbone of the Ballu brand products. The 2-in-1 BOH/TB-09FH model combines the charms of a fan heater and an oil radiator in one person. The first is occupied with the issues of heating the room in the shortest possible time, and the second is maintaining a comfortable temperature regime in it.

The ceramic fan heater in the design of the model has a power of 400 watts. By the standards of an independent device, this is not much, but it is still worth considering in the context of an auxiliary heat source. When using a fan heater, the air in the room warms up faster, and because it is unnecessary, it turns off in one sitting.

There are traditionally three power modes in radiator assets. At the maximum, the heating device "heats" with a power of 2400 watts, providing fast and efficient heating, but at the same time increasing the readings of the electric metre a lot. Reduced power modes are designed to moderate the appetites of the heater, for which a separate "twister" is provided.

The Ballu BOH/TB-09FH sections are coated with a special Protective Coating anti-corrosion compound that protects the outer "wrapper" of the device from the appearance of traces of rust. Complements the positive impressions of the model are a quartet of swivel wheels, on which the radiator stands firmly and moves across the floor without much effort. The heating device deserves close interest from the public and takes its toll on the almost complete absence of negative sides.

The cute guy hails from snow-covered Scandinavia stands out as a bright spot against the background of his peers due to his remarkable appearance. The thing is that the radiator sections have an undulating shape of plates.

This model has 9 sections, which is enough to heat rooms with an area of over 20 m². Heated mineral oil, which has passed a multi-stage purification system, circulates through the tubes between them. The probability of its leaks is completely excluded, and a high degree of safety of the device is guaranteed by the auto-shutdown functions in case of overheating and overturning.

There is nothing complicated in controlling the heating device: choose one of the trinity of power modes, turn the lower knob of the thermostat — and enjoy the warmth. The heating activity of the oil-filled radiator is informed by a blue indicator on the front panel of the firmly built device housing.

A number of problems with the model are connected only with the mains cord — many users lack its length, in addition, the lid of the compartment for its storage opens under the weight of the wire. However, the very presence of a hidden niche for the power cord goes to the radiator exclusively for the future. Combining in one bottle a pleasant appearance and faithful service for the benefit of maintaining a comfortable microclimate, Electrolux EOH/M-9209 is one of the contenders for victory in the category of oil radiators of a strong middle class.

It will warm, moisturize, except that it will not feed and will not put you to sleep. In addition to the main role — maintaining a comfortable temperature regime in the room — Timberk's brainchild is busy with pressing issues of preventing a decrease in relative humidity.

An ultrasonic humidifier with a 400 mL tank is mounted directly into the body of the heater. The water in it ends quickly, however, the effect of spraying water pollen is felt by all households. If there is no need to humidify the air, this mini version of the device for increasing the humidity level can be turned off.

The controls of the oil cooler are grouped on the front end and are represented by a thermostat knob, which allows you to control the temperature of the air in the room, along with the controller of the power modes of the device. In total, three different levels of heating intensity are kindly provided to the user: 800 watts, 1200 watts and 2000 watts. In the 9-section design, the radiator effectively provides heat to an area of up to 20 m².

At the slightest overheating of the heating element Timberk TOR 51.2009 BTX immediately disconnects from the network, for which it is necessary to thank the overheating protection system. Another useful feature in the arsenal of the device is called the "Antifrost" function, which is aimed at preventing freezing of walls in unheated rooms. The temperature in them is maintained on a constant basis within 5-7 °C. Having a solid load of all sorts of "goodies" behind him, the oil-filled radiator is assembled to the highest standard and has improved mobility due to swivel wheels along with a convenient handle for transportation.

The modernized version of the oil-filled radiator from the Unit company is dressed in a strict black "suit" and armed to the teeth with the latest technology.

Technically, we have an 8-section radiator with three heating power modes (from 800 to 2000 watts with an intermediate position of 1200 watts). But the devil, as you know, lies in the details. In this case, it is an LED screen at the head of the front panel of the heater, which displays information about the selected power mode, the set value of the heating temperature and the delay time for turning on/off the device.

In the company of the screen on the front end of the model housing, there is a touch panel, with which it is possible to flexibly adjust the temperature regime and the intensity of heating. And quite for the lazy, Unit UOR 993 is equipped with a push-button remote control for operating the heating parameters without leaving a warm crib or a comfortable place on the sofa.

The radiator quickly reaches the set temperature and maintains heat for a long time. The so—called fireplace effect is designed to "pump" the efficiency of its work — the strengthening of natural convection due to special holes in the body made to improve traction. The only stone in the garden of the radiator is the non—switchable sound of pressing buttons, which especially interferes at night. You will have to pay a lot for all this beauty right away, but a product of such a high class a priori cannot cost a penny.
