B&Q has reduced the Daewoo 11 Fin Oil Filled Portable Radiator by 20% in its Black Friday sale, bringing the price down from £49.99 to £39.99. The 2,500W unit is priced at £48.75 on Amazon and £49.99 at Tesco.
The radiator offers three output modes (1,000W, 1,500W, and 2,500W) to allow targeted heating of larger spaces. Running costs range between 26p and 66p per hour, according to the energy calculator sust-it. The 11-fin structure distributes heat evenly and retains warmth longer than standard electric blowers.
Features and Design
The unit includes an energy-saving thermostat and a simple dial for temperature control. Four castor wheels and a carry handle make it easy to move between rooms, so users can heat only the space they occupy. A tip-over switch automatically turns the unit off if it falls, and built-in cord storage keeps it tidy when not in use.
Shoppers considering alternatives may look at the SmartAir Boost Radiator Fan, which sits atop a traditional radiator and pushes heat back into the room. It is currently on sale for £44.99 (was £49.99) at Yimbly. On Amazon, Dreo's 1,500W Electric Heater has 15% off, bringing it to £42.49 (was £49.99).
Customer Reviews
The Daewoo radiator holds a 4.7-star rating from B&Q customers. One reviewer said: "Great for fast heating. I bought this for my daughter at university [as] the house she shares is quite cold. It warms her room up quickly and holds the heat after [it is] turned off."
Another customer commented: "Worth every penny. Bought two of these and they are fantastic, only using one side and the rooms are warm enough." A third said: "On the lowest setting it's like the Bahamas. Cosy and warm even with the window open [and] heats up very quickly."
Not all feedback was glowing. One four-star review noted: "Smaller than it looks [and] tricky fitting the wheels on. It gets hot but won't heat any decent-sized room." Another positive review said: "Great little radiator that delivers on heat at a cool price. On wheels, so easy to move around, and a good space saver."
