About this product
The PureMate Oil Filled Radiator offers a reliable solution for creating warmth throughout your home or office. This standalone heater utilises an oil-filled system with eleven fins to rapidly heat up and maintain consistent warmth across larger rooms – up to approximately 28m². It’s designed for versatile use, suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, offices, garages, or workspaces where comfort is key.
Featuring three adjustable power settings - 1200W, 1300W, and a powerful 2500W – you can precisely control the heat output to suit your needs. A thermostat dial allows fine-tuning of the temperature, while the built-in 24-hour timer offers scheduling options for convenience and energy efficiency. Safety features include a thermal safety cut-off and an integrated cable tidy for secure storage.
This model measures 50 x 24 x 62 centimetres and comes fitted with a 1.5m power lead, alongside castor wheels for easy movement between rooms. Weighing 11.2 kilograms, it’s a substantial unit but designed to fit neatly into corners thanks to its tall vertical profile.
The PureMate Oil Filled Radiator is backed by a one-year manufacturer warranty and is ideal for those seeking a stylish and efficient way to heat their spaces. Consider that while offering consistent warmth, it may take longer to fully warm a room compared to a fan heater, and it is heavier than some smaller-fin models.
