The Glen r...ange of heaters are linked to Dimplex - equally good quality but much cheaper. This particular offering was sold at an extremely good price (approx. half that being asked by other retailers) and it works very well. We have 2 of the earlier model of these heaters, and they have functioned faultlessly for many years, putting out their 0.5 Kw of heat reliably (using an in-line thermostat). As this model has a reliable and fairly accurate in-built thermostat, it will be interesting to make comparisons, but I'm sure the heater will work equally well. Placed in a suitable position, it is amazing how effective this type of heater can be. Used with sensible temperature settings, it is good at providing background heating for a small to medium sized room. A well tested, simple but effective design, with little to go wrong and (judging by our existing examples) decades of useful household heating in it.. A thoroughly good buy at a really good price.

I'm using the Glen heater inside an enclosure in my pol...y tunnel. The enclosure is 1.5m x 1.2m x 1m and is covered with a double layer of bubblewrap - it's used to germinate seeds. I started with a 80w tube heater but this would only get the temperature up to 10 celsius in cold weather. The Glen heater can get the temperature up into the high 20s. As this is too high, I've fitted a plug in thermostat to keep the temperature around 18 and this seems to be working OK. However, on reading the Glen instructions, it says that you should not fit a timing device to the unit - this is not mentioned on the Ebay site. So far it seems to be switching on and off with no problems so I'll see how it performs over the winter (I keep the tube heater on just in case the Glen packs in!!!).

I have a medium sized living ...room(probably fit 4 double beds in it...just !) and whilst the temp outside was 4 degrees this panel heater could only heat my living room to 15 degrees and that took about an hour to achieve. Ok for taking the chill out of the air or for a small single bedroom but not for a main source of heat you would want in a living room.

This is a great little heater for me, maybe not everyon...e's choice but an excellent product for my purposes, as I used to have one.

This really is an amazing product for it size and the th...ermostat works really well and is accurate. If you have a small to medium room I would highly recommend this. The electric it uses is very little in comparison to other models....you won't be disappointed, they definitely thoughtful about this product when they designed it..worth every penny in my opinion and use it all the time.
