alpina 850 W oil-filled radiator: what works and what doesn't
What works well
- Very inexpensive: by far the lowest price in the comparison, an entry into mobile supplementary heating
- Adjustable thermostat: the desired temperature can be regulated and the radiator holds it by itself
- Overheat protection: switches the radiator off automatically at too high a temperature
- Compact and portable: wide stand for a secure footing, practical handle for moving it
Points of criticism
- Only 850 W: considerably weaker than 1,500 W units, enough only for small rooms or light supplementary heating
- No room size stated: the manufacturer gives no m² area; for large rooms the output is too low
- No-name warranty: with a budget brand, support and spare parts availability are uncertain
