Martec Linear MBHL1000

Hi,
I bought this Linear 3-in-1 Bathroom Heater with LED Light, Exhaust Fan and Heat Lamp,, the heating lamp blown twice in the last three month and i had t get replaced now it blown again last night and they are not cheap.

I purchased Martec Linear 3 in 1 in November 2021. Just used the heater part for twice and after I used it for around 1 minutes on 22 May 2022, I heard a click/ sound and the heat lamp not working and it seems that the fans started working without I switch on the fan switch. I then switch off all the control switch. I liaised with Martec customer services and explained to them that a normal globe or product won't broke down so easily in any case and I asked them to come and had a look. They just asked me to send in email one by one and no...

Bought a brand new unit from their approved stockist. Heating lamp blew within 48 hrs. Bought 3 new official Martec MRL1000W halogen lamps - none of them work. Avoid avoid, avoid!

Purchased this in 2018 and installed by a licensed electrician. Heat lamp stopped working just out of warranty. I purchased a new 1000 watt replacement globe and still not working. Got in contact with the company Mantec and they with my receipt of purchase that I emailed to them of proof of purchase. They stated they would send me a complete new unit which they did saying a good will gesture. I couldn’t believe it as it was just out of warranty. Had to have old one removed and new one fitted by my electrician at a cost. On examining the old on...

Heat lamp died within a few months, replaced it one more time for the same to happen then gave up. Then the fan started making horrible noises, pulled it out to inspect and saw that the impeller had sheared in two right through the middle. Utter garbage.

Great looking but very noisy and impracticable to service. Replacement light globes had to be ordered online, are expensive and very difficult to replace - globe doesn't just click in- had to remove 4 screws to remove the cover (and this came with its own complications) before finally replacing the globe. Prefer a simpler system - taking my 3 down.

The unit was great until it broke. Just out of warranty, the heater stopped working. No replacement parts, martec said we need to buy a new one. Now after putting up with no heater for a year, the fan has broken. So now its just a few pissy lights. Bought it as my parents had one and rated it... Theirs also broke just outside of warranty. Dont buy this if you want something to last more than 3 years, which, for the price, you'd think that would be a reasonable request.

Mounting this unit you have less than 10mm to screw it in and will need to place battens in roof space to screw it in, do not even try to screw it into the Gyprock.
Completely waist of money and time.
If I could score it in the negative I’d give it -5/10.

Purchased 4 x Martec Linear 3 in 1 white coloured units for my house and a standard rectangular 3 in 1 from domus lighting that uses the old fashioned heating globes but looks quite nice and modern for the granny flat. Three of the Martec Linear units had failed globes in the first week, 1 failed heat lamp and two of the Led lights. Contacted Warranty via email with a copy of the tax invoice they sent out replacement lamps a few weeks later as they were considered DOA. Its a little complicated to change a globe, need to remove 4 screws per unit...

We completed our new house in October 2017, we have three Martec Linears installed. Approx 4 months ago, one of them started making a horrendous noise when the fan turned on - after an inspection it was revealed that the fan casing had perished and broken - the whole unit now needs to be replaced. One of the downlights stopped working in another one, not long after installation - the heat globe also stopped about 5 months ago. The third one is still ok but it is rarely used in the guest bathroom. We have to buy a new one, and will use the working globes from that one to fix the other one.. by the way, the two damaged ones weren’t used every day either. Disappointed, they are not cheap products.

Review for Linear Mini installed in small ensuite measuring 9.5 cubic meters. Has been in operation for four months.
Very Stylish.
Light is average.
Heat lamp is poor - barely any warmth when standing directly under it. Ceiling height is 2.4m.
Fan performance is inadequate. Noise level okay.

I loved the look, so bought 2. I now have 2 nice rectangular ceiling ornaments! The heater has blown, but silly me went and bought spare bulbs at $35 each. It wasn't the bulb. The electrical fault cannot be replaced, so it is now a light with a gentle extraction fan. I would love to find out how to replace ot with a good 3rd world knock-off part. The fan sucks at sucking, so my bathroom gets a bit dank with 3 teenagers showering in a sauna. And it is getting some rust on the stainless looking cover. All in all, a regretable purchase.

Our unit was installed by a reputable electrician who has done a lot of work for me, always perfectly.. but we have had problems with the fan & lights.. the fan turns itself on if the lights are left on - even though it is wired to be turned on separately.. it just cuts in & out on its own?? it’s very noisy.. which I could live with if it didn’t turn itself on at random times.. our electrician has rechecked and it is installed correctly.. it must have some internal wiring issues. I plan on throwing it away & changing to a new unit.

We are now on our 3rd replacement over two units.

Now one in the ensuite has a faulty fan and the one in the main bathroom has a faulty heat lamp.

Stay away, I am sure there are better brands out there.

We built a new house and purchased 3 for our bathrooms. Have only been in the house two weeks and have had the electrician back to check as the exhaust extraction was so poor, even with the bathroom window open, so disappointed with this product.
