Looks very good , but wonder how much it costs to run ?
Need a rad in my cellar , but wondering if this would be cheaper than adding another normal gas CH rad (not including cost of rad etc)

[j1979]

they are power rated. so a 2kw heater will cost 2 units per hour. 13p per unit is about average. so that would be 26p per hour until it's heated to it maximum then it will have a maintenance phase to maintain the top temps. prob about 13p per hour.

just an educated guess

Well I bought the Aldi one and have to say its superb much better than the convector type I had before to heat the cellar up

Although the technology is basic, the switches can fail on cheaper models, which can be annoying.
