NETTA 2500W Oil Filled Radiator with 24H Timer review

About the NETTA 2500W Oil Filled

The NETTA 2500W Oil Filled Radiator has 11 oil-filled fins and a 2500W output. NETTA rates it for rooms up to 28m². Heat comes from the oil-filled fins rather than a fan, so it warms the room steadily and keeps giving off heat for a while after it cuts out.

Controls are dials. An adjustable thermostat sets the room temperature, and a built-in 24-hour timer switches the heater on and off at set times. NETTA lists three heat settings. Some retailer titles say two, so check the dial on the unit if that matters to you.

For safety it has overheating protection, and B&Q's listing adds tip-over protection. It stands on four castor wheels and has a carry handle. The 1.5m mains cable stores in a built-in cable organiser on the back. NETTA's own page does not list what comes in the box.

Retailer figures for size and weight differ by colour and listing. NETTA's page for the grey model gives 55cm high, 46cm wide and 12cm deep, at 11.3kg. B&Q gives 9.85kg for the black one, and Haddon & James gives 13kg. Measure your space against the listing you buy from.

What owners report about the NETTA 2500W Oil Filled

We found little owner feedback written about this exact model on the pages we could open. What we did find was short and positive: owners say it warms a room quickly, runs quietly and is simple to use.

We found nothing on how it holds up after months of use, and no pattern of complaints we could attribute to this model. The weight in the pros and cons comes from the retailers' own figures, not from owner reports.

Who the NETTA 2500W Oil Filled suits

It suits someone heating a bedroom, living room or home office of a medium to large size who wants a thermostat and a daily timer without a screen or remote. The timer and thermostat are on dials, so there is nothing to programme by day of the week.

Look elsewhere if you want a remote, a digital display or an easy-to-carry heater. The Zanussi ZOFR5005B has a remote and digital display, and the PureMate PM866 has a touch panel. For a smaller room the Russell Hobbs RHOFR7004B is lighter and uses less power. If a longer, registration-free warranty matters, the VonHaus 11 Fin Oil Filled Radiator 2500W with Timer comes with two years.
