ALDI Easy Home Electric Panel Heater (May 2015, Jun 2016, May 2017)

Almost burnt down my house – The heater is only effective in small ares. Up until our incident we left it on all night. It just took the chill out of the air which makes it good for sleeping

Takes time to warm up – It takes time to warm up and doesn't spread it's heat by itself, you need a ceiling fan or other to move the heat about. I accidentally left it on once, when I realised (because the room was slightly warm) I didn't feel worried about the safety of it, it seemed quite safe.

Good heater, you need to understand how it works – We bought this Aldi Panel Heater for our lounge room, instead of having the gas-powered central heating on for the whole house when we are only in the lounge. Like any convection heater, it takes a while to heat the room, so we switch it on ahead of time, or after the room has already been heated by the gas central heating. It then maintains a very comfortable temperature.

It looks good, plain black panel with LED indicators on the front. But I find some of the controls and functions a bit confusing so don't use most of them.

But it works, and was great value.

Aldi Wall Panel Heater – Aldi wall panel heater that was $80 - it's very good for the price - tried it in the lounge which is quite large and it did not heat up significantly but put it into a bedroom and closed the door and within an hour the room was super hot. Good for bedrooms or bathroom but not large areas. We do not have kids so no heat safety issues for us.
