– Belaco Electric 3 Bar Halogen Heater 1200W, Portable Room Heater with 3 Heat Settings, 90° Oscillation, Tip Over Safety Switch, Compact Carry Handle, Grey

Excellent heater and very sturdy. I am using this heater in a 10ft x 10ft room . I use two bars (800 watt) for ten minutes then only need to use one bar (400 watt) for the the rest of the time I need to use it. I pay just under 54pence per KW hour that equals 10p an hour using one bar which is extremely good value for money. This heater also has a safety cut out switch so this helps with peace of mind whilst leaving it on for long periods of time. It also has tip/ tilt mechanism which also cuts it out if this happens. All in all a fantastic and cheaper way of keeping your room noice and warm, I haven’t had to use all three bars at all it works brilliantly. Regards, Derrick.

casing had come adrift but i soon clicked it back in place and it worked ok it's nice having 3 heat settings

I had a two year old Slim Belaco and the no1 n (centre) tube blew. I bought this identical one as it came with 3 free tubes (sneaky!) BUT there is little info out there yet on how to do the replacing of this heater's defunct tubes... I did check youtube, everyone frustrated by how hard it is to disconnect blown tubes. HOW I DID IT - unplug from mains!!!!! 1. remove c16 back screws (from back casing plate, not handle) Gently prize off respecting wires to both sides of unit to access front 2. Remove innnner protective mesh grid from unit (not the outer mesh cover grid; there's a 2nd one on the unit only gettble at once screws removeds as 1) by bending back the grid's retaining small front corner latches. All good so far. BUT as others found: 3 I could not then remove the blown non-functioning tube - it fits through each side of the unit and then its connectors (one each side of tube) fit into the unit's respective two wired sleeves. Google says try holding back wire sleeve with pliers and pull or use a tiny flat head screwdriver to free tube connecting plate. Neither worked for me as I am not strong. 4 So !!!!wearing gloves!!! I gently broke off the glass tube and removed it - still leaving its ceramic end caps connected. 5 Now I could prize up each of the two unit side's latches and swivel out the old tube's connection ends (ceramic white) each side. This let me better attack their slide connection to their wired sleeves. In the end as the glass was no longer present, I could now better use the tiny flat head screw driver (to slide in down the wired sleeve to hold down the retaining button that kept the tube's plate prong fitted in place - you'll see the hole when you look at the replacement tube's plates, each is slightly bigger than a pin head but it's these tiny things that are causing the removal problem). 6 Once the old tube's ends are pulled out with the help of the tiny screwdriver, the rest is easy (ish) the new tube can be slide and slotted in place, the unit's side latches put back down and so on... just reconnect everything up safely. 7 Replace the screws and test. Took me about 30 minutes. But as said: a highly recommended heater the best of them all - I've now three and they do save money. Silent and give out a nice light too. I have them on remote plugs to switch on and off when in bed, out of rooms. Great thing about them is the handle which makes them easy to move and carry. Also neat small design. :-)

I bought this a while back but forgot to do a review I live in a HMO that had electric heaters however that used to effect my breathing as it was a dry heat so I bought this it was great at 1st even my cat loved it any time it was switched on he would stay in front of it even warming his belly it has a button on the bottom for safety if unit is on and gets knocked over the pressure lifting off the safety feature the unit switches off which is great.. as 1 day I knocked it over the back had a melting whole I did take pictures at the time however I broke that phone and couldn't get my to my pictures and videos my memories had to do a complete factory reset

Very nice heater. Has 3 settings but very effective only with 1 heating setting.

You only get what you pay for! I paid less than £20 for this. It’s plastic and flimsy but gives off heat with halogen elements. It’s not a permanent fix. It’s fair.

I was looking something easy to use for my elderly mum. This is so simple with just one dial which turns a notch for each setting. I tried it out first to make sure everything was working fine. The 1st bar was on and I could feel the heat instantly, and when the 2nd and 3rd came on, the heat was amazing, I knew this was perfect for my mum. She doesn't feel the heat like she used to and her electric blow heater was costing her around £60 a week to heat just her living room. She is going to save a fortune with this little heater. The only thing I was worried about was the brightness of the bulbs, they are blinding but she is ok with that so I guess its a small price to pay when she will be saving so much money on her electric bill. It came with 3 replacement bulbs which was fab. Its light and easy to move around, not sure if the build is 100% as it is so light it almost seems cheaply made but the reviews were good which is why I was drawn to buy this particular heater. As long as my mum is happy, she has warmth and is comfortable sitting in her wee house, I'm happy too. Will just have to wait and see if it will be a long lived item and if not I will update my review but its five stars for now.

Initially the hissing noise will keep you awake but you'll get used to it very quickly. If you can't sleep with the lights on, this product is not for you. The rotating mechanism failed after only a month of use. It heats up my 10m by 10m room in less than 10 minutes (less than that in Autumn)
