Hylite Slimline Ecoheater Tube Heater with Thermostat White 1000mm 120W

The thermostat function, discreet, easy on the eyes design, economy of running and other peoples positive reviews prompted me to buy this product. Am glad I did. Have used it in a small conservatory, permanently now for a few months, on a very low thermostat setting. The chill of the room has gone and all window condensation disappeared. So the conservatory is now being constantly and subtly aired with a tiny amount of warmth. So much better for it - no signs of mould etc now and always smells aired. Yes other types are cheaper, but I'd say it's not worth considering one without a thermostat, so worth paying extra for that feature alone. And it looks so much nicer than some of those other chunkier fatter designs! The thermostat function also means that you can just forget about it, knowing that as soon as the sun hits the conservatory it will switch off, without you having to constantly try to remember and be in and out of there trying to control it manually. So it's an economical and no hassle option!Obviously, if you want to sit out in a conservatory in the winter that has no other heating, this background low level heating will not be sufficient in itself to make you feel warm... but then it's not meant to be! But it takes the chill off the room and as background protective heat and an aid to good air circulation, it's pefect. Very pleased.

Heats up well. Just hope it as cheap to run as suggested.

Hylite HHT210 1000mm Slimline Eco Heater with built in thermostat (120W) by HyliteThis review is for the Hylite 1000mm 120w Slimline Eco heaterReason for buying.I bought this heater for a greenhouse I have, to stop the temperature from dropping near to freezing during the winter and killing my plants. I grow tomatoes, chillies and a lime tree in there.Down to detailThe heater is Small and compact. It comes well packaged and sufficiently proteced from damage in transit.Supplied in the box are 2 mounting brackets/floor stands(depending what you want to do with it) which are made in 2 parts to clip around the tube, and a single screw pulls the 2 setcions together. There is a supplied 1.5 meter power cable to fit into the end, and a foam precut spacer to go between the heater and the power lead on insertion. I figure that it is to stop moisture ingress into the lead plug/heater connection if there is moisture in the area.The instructions don't say, but that's my guess.The heater has a built in thermostat, but there is no temperature setting marks (as in 20,21,25 degrees or whatever). So you turn it on low, allow the area to heat up and gradually increase the setting a bit at a time until the desired room temperature is obtained. maybe not the best method, as it takes a bit of time, but it does work if you persavere. Once it's set, just leave it to do it's thing. Though it's not quite winter yet, the temperature is dropping and I can see the heater keeps my greenhouse above outside ambient temperature so far.Wattage is stated at 120 watts, but that would be 120 watts if on for a full hour, you probably find that it's less than that as the heater switches on and off. If it's on for a full hour, chances are you need a bigger model for the size of the area you have.Note: the maker staes 120 watts, but does not state if thats 120 watts output from the heater, or 120 watts draw from the mains. Either way, it's around a light bulb of 100watts.. pennies to run.Recommendation: I fitted the heater into an RCD plug for my own peace of mind. If there was a fault with the heater or a fire when I am away from the house, the RCD should cut the power to the heater. For an extra £7-10, I would suggest getting one too. Your choice :)Would I recommend to friend and family... YesWould I buy again... Yes. I actually also bought at 500mm 55W version for another area as well.Thanks for reading, and I hope some information was of use to you.If it was, I would appreciate you taking a second to click on the yes button below "Was this review helpful to you?

I'm very pleased with this. I have a camper van which was becoming quite damp through lack of use in the winter. The moisture trap I had was completely useless. I didn't particularly require heat, but decided to give this a go to see if it would improve the damp problem, and it has. I've kept it on about 3/4 full heat, so although I can't work out how much it's costing, I hope it isn't much. It gets fairly hot to the touch, but not so that I could really hurt myself if I were to accidentally put my hand on it, so I didn't bother with the guard that you can buy to go over it. It's very neat to look at. Hopefully, if I ever have to sleep in the camper in cold weather, it'll take the chill off a bit, too!

I have bought a few of these over the years, this time I had to return first delivery as the heater was faulty and tripping the fuse, second one works fine but the power connector is really loose, so falls out of you knock the heater.So although it works well, it does seem a very poor build quality.

Ordered to keep the chill off in our utility room. Installed on the wall but neon power light didn't come on and unit didn't heat up. Contents of the tube also rattled around which didn't instill great confidence in the quality of the build. Returning and will seek an alternative make.

Bought this to heat up a freezing cold (could not stand in there more than a minute) utility room that had been an outside toilet in a terraced house so no insulation and single brick. this has taken the freeze away, but I have ordered a second one as this is not actually warming up the space sufficiently and it still feels damp. Hopefully number two will do the trick. Apart from that iti does what it says it should and is very neat.

I use this out in my grooming salon, I can leave it on low overnight and it keeps the chill out and nothing freezes up. It's not a tropical heat, so keep expectations low and you won't be disappointed, it just means that I don't have to wear a coat when I'm working.
