Oil heaters

Portable oil heaters are one of the best ways to heat a room from 15 to 30 m2. There are many brands of these products on the market: both eminent brands and their lesser known competitors. Despite the competition, everyone finds their buyer. The price of such equipment can differ strikingly: if an unnamed high-quality heater can be purchased for $ 50, then the price of its branded analogue can be 2-3 times higher.

Oil heaters for home

High-quality (at least cheap, at least expensive device) is not a problem to purchase in a large construction supermarket or a specialized company. Cheap copies are unreliable, but the percentage of marriage is very small. If the device is under warranty, it will always be replaced or repaired: the equipment is simple, it has been studied by the repairmen, the spare parts for all models are almost the same.

Expensive heaters can be equipped with additional functions, for example, the option of humidification or forced ventilation. They are distinguished by a long service life, greater energy efficiency: they consume less electricity, give more heat.

Oil heaters for the home, the reviews of which are located on this page are mainly divided into two types: 4-6 section and 8-10 section. These are the most popular models. If you are very cold - you can buy a model for a larger number of sections, but in standard Soviet apartments there will be such a heater, believe me, "a lot" and it consumes a lot more electricity.

Power consumption directly depends on the number of sections. As a rule, small "oilers" pull a maximum of 1-1.5 kW / h, they are enough to heat small rooms up to 12 m2. Devices with a consumption of 2-2.2 kW / h for 8-10 sections can already be installed in rooms up to 20 squares. All models are united by the fact that they are designed for 3 modes of operation: heat - even warmer - very warm. Between them, you can set other modes using additional manual adjustment.

Heater Mirta OR407 - safe heat and comfort
A comment
With the arrival of cold autumn rains, it became damp and cool in our country house. Unfortunately, the cottage was not heated ... But we solved this problem - we bought an oil heater Mirta OR407. Thanks to the modern design, it fits perfectly into the interior of our room. The room is small, so 7 sections of the heater were enough for heating. But for it to warm up to operating temperature, it takes about 10 minutes. Then the set temperature is constantly maintained. You can adjust it, because there are three modes of operation.

The manufacturers also took care of the safety of the device, there is protection against overheating - the heater automatically turns off, while the indicator light goes out and a click sounds. We fearlessly left it on all night.And when they turned off the power outlet in the morning, its metal surface remained warm for a long time.

We also liked that the heater is light and convenient for transportation. Wheels and a handle greatly facilitate its transportation. To prevent the power cord from hanging out, there is a special compartment for it.
We have been using the heater in the country for the fourth year in a row, I never let it down. We hope that he will also serve several more years just as well.
pros
Lightweight, safe, affordable.
Minuses
Heats up to a predetermined temperature for a long time.
Term of use
more than one year

Oil heater Scarlett SC-1160 - the best option
A comment
Despite the global warming, as a resident of the south of Ukraine, I don’t notice him much on winter days. Although the apartment is heated, it can be very cold. Therefore, my husband and I decided to purchase the Scarlett SC-1160 oil heater, which we liked in design: a nice, pleasant appearance that moves on wheels, which is incredibly convenient.

The model is budgetary, paid for only 400 hryvnias + delivery, simple, when you set the temperature, it turns off automatically. Since we turned on the heater only on cold evenings (and left it overnight), we did not notice any special expenses for money on electricity.

In general, the model is normal, but I doubt that it is suitable for a room without heating. We need a more powerful heater that does not dry the air. Every day we opened the window to make it fresh.
pros
practicality, functionality, quickly negotiates the room, weight
Minuses
dry the air
Term of use
more than one year

Great heating!
A comment
I believe that these heaters are the most practical of all, since they retain stored heat for a long time due to which the air remains warm longer in the room. Oil fireplaces are absolutely silent and unassuming. They do not need a lot of space. Their only minus is that they are heavy. But almost all of them are equipped with wheels for better movement.

To heat small rooms, to dry things - the MOT! The main thing is to put a bowl of water on the electric fireplace or buy an air humidifier, because they incredibly dry the air in the room.

When used, heat is constantly maintained, and the walls of the room warm up a bit. In many modern oil fireplaces, the cut-off relay is activated, so we left them turned on around the clock, without fear of short circuits or fires.
pros
Silent, keeps warm for a long time.
Minuses
High power consumption, heavy.

Warm and comfortable
A comment
They bought an oil heater for a long time, for about 7 years already. But she appreciated it only when she gave birth to a baby. Winter was cold and in a large private house it was not very warm either.

The optimum temperature for the child was achieved including our old heater. By weight it is not very heavy, flat and therefore does not take up much space. The cord is long enough. On my heater there is a system of protection against overheating, I was not afraid to leave it at night. Itself turned off and also turned on again if the temperature dropped.

You can’t cover it, I tried to dry the diaper - immediately turned off. There is a work indicator lamp and a backlight near the power knob. There is a warm wind function, but I do not use it. Of course it dries the air in the room, so I put a tray of water near it.

If it works for a long time, a slight smell of dust appears, but when you switch to a lower power, it disappears. The only drawback is that the legs are shifted, since they are removable, they need to be set up by itself.
pros
quick heat
auto shut off when overheating
compact
affordable price
Minuses
the smell of dust during long work
Term of use
more than five years
