- What size room will 1200 W heat?
- Roughly 10 to 12 square metres in a well-insulated room with standard ceiling height. Larger or draughty rooms will need a second unit or a higher-wattage model.
- Does it need a plumber or special wiring?
- No. It is an electric panel heater that plugs into a normal socket, though the 220 V rating means you should confirm it matches your home's supply. Wall mounting is a DIY job with a drill and the right fixings.
- Can I control it when I am away from home?
- Yes. The built-in Wi-Fi lets you set schedules and switch it on or off from the app, so you can warm a room before you arrive.
- Does it make noise?
- It is a fan-free convection heater, so there is no fan hum. You may hear slight ticking as the metal expands and contracts when it heats and cools.
- Is it better than an oil-filled radiator?
- It heats up faster and is slimmer on the wall, but an oil-filled radiator keeps giving off heat after it is switched off. For steady all-day warmth, oil-filled suits some rooms better.
- What comes in the box?
- The heater, wall-mounting bracket and fixings, and a power lead. A plug and the app setup instructions are included; a thermostat or timer is built in.
- Where is the SHX 24HS1200 Indoor Grey Electric Space Heater cheapest?
- At Tiny Lux, for $44.65, as of our latest check.
