Which electric Rad

tech

looking at getting an electric oil filled rad for a room just to top up the under floor heating, this is north facing so hard to heat.

im looking at the following

ATC 1.2 KW iLifestyle Electric Thermal Radiator - WLS1200 €520
ATC 1.5kw Varena 1500 VAR1500- €438
Creda CAR 100 - 1kw €385
Farho - ECG-9 - 990w - €440
Farho - ECGU08 1.32KW €450

cant see the difference between ATV Lifestyle vs ATC Varena , except for ilifesytle is Smart

sorry yes that the obvious difference and smart but what else is different, the Varena doesn't seem to be listed on the .ie website only the .co.uk ATC site??

I like the ATC ones, but that’s a personal preference.

Varena vs ilifestyle??

iLifestyle are the ones I have experience of.
Don’t know about Varena - quite similar maybe? Just different controls?

What's the room used for? I use an infrared heater in my small North facing wfh office. Amd it's perfect.

They use way less power but only heat what's in front of them. IE you. So only need to be on when you are in the room. But need to be in close proximity.

I have 3 Lucht radiatiors for 3 north facing rooms in my house and I find them excellent. All 3 are controlled via smart hub and app. They are a bit pricy but as far as electric rads go they are about as efficient as you get imo.
