Convector which company to choose
Arbonia
Tubular radiators of heating Arbonia are made by the same German company. The range is incredibly large, you can choose a device of various shapes and colors. Almost all convectors manufactured by the company are supplied to Russia. Also this brand accepts special orders for radiators up to 3 meters high and more. In the same way, you can order devices of unusual shape - for example, curved or angled.
Buderus
The Buderus trademark was born in a very distant 1731 year. At one time it was owned by a small company engaged in the production of cast-iron elements used to build hearths and stoves. In the XX century, more modern heating equipment, including electricity, began to spread under the Buderus brand. Well, in 2003 the concern Buderus AG became part of the German group Bosch GmbH. However, the history of the brand did not end there - under it still very decent convectors are produced. You can find these products in many countries of the world - Russia is no exception in this regard.
Kermi
Kermi products can be found in many stores in Russia. But it cannot be said that the production of convectors is the main activity of this company. Shower cabins, heating walls and other heating equipment also come off the conveyors of its plants. However, it was on the convectors that the company made a name for itself - these devices are very popular with customers due to its energy efficiency and nice design.
Purmo
Purmo began its history with a small factory of radiators located in the northwestern part of Finland. The impetus for the development of the brand was the company's incorporation into the Rettig group. It was after this that the production of convectors was automated and modernized. Now these devices are manufactured not only in Finland, but also in Poland. Buy the same products under the brand name Purmo can be in about two dozen countries.
Zehnder
Under the brand Zehnder produced a large number of radiators and heated towel rails. Basically, this company produces high-end products, in connection with which the price tag for it is appropriate. The history of the brand has more than 80 years. During this period, the company learned not only mass production, but also the creation of custom-made convectors, focusing on the individual dimensions provided by the client.

The best electric convectors with wheels
Timberk TEC.PS1 LE 1500 IN

Some buyers were pleased not only with the economical heating mode, but also with the possibility of purchasing additional accessories in the form of a humidifier and a heated towel rail.
Electrolux ECH / AG-1500EF

But in fact, you need to safely take away from this value 20-30%. But the result can be considered very good - usually this is what is expected from such an inexpensive convector.
Best electric wall mounted convectors
Noirot Spot E-3 1000
This model has some amount of memory. This allows you to not worry about the fact that from time to time you completely turn off the electricity.

The device has a nice appearance, heats up quite quickly and is experiencing any cataclysms happening on the power grid. There are no complaints about the build quality either - this is no accident, because this convector is manufactured in Europe. In short, this is a great choice for those who need heating of a room of 10-15 m2.
Nobo C4F 20 XSC
Enough expensive electric convector. But without it, owners of large premises, whose area reaches 25-27 m2, cannot do. Also, the buyer will appreciate the quick warm-up - the wall unit goes to the working temperature in just a minute. Finally, it should be noted the fine settings provided by the heater.

In short, the product has no serious flaws, if you do not remember the price. But it is difficult to call it frightening - there are convectors and much more expensive.
Best Portable Electric Convector
Scoole SC HT HM1 1000W
A relatively small model that can be easily transferred from one room to another. At the same time it is able to heat a room up to 18-20 m2. Such power is explained by the presence of a mikatermichesky heating element here - in full force it begins to work after a few seconds after switching on.
Advantages:
- The lowest possible price tag;
- Instant heating to operating temperature;
- High-precision mechanical thermostat;
- Decent heating area;
- Non-repulsive design.
Disadvantages:
- Stainless steel heating element can not be called reliable;
- Enough high power consumption.
Reviews on Scoole SC HT HM1 1000W indicate that the product turned out beautifully and very powerful. The device is able to heat a large enough room. At the same time, it is cheaper than many of its analogues. But it should be remembered that it consumes more electricity. Also it is hardly possible to call such a compact model, equipped with stainless steel elements, as reliable as possible.
Which convector to buy
1. Now in the shops you can find dozens, and sometimes even hundreds of various convectors. Even our list of the best models turned out quite long. Among these devices, KARMA BETA 5 stands out. This is the best solution for people who want to save on energy resources, since this convector works by burning gas that is quite cheap in our country.
2. The rest of the models reviewed today are powered by electricity. The choice of a particular device depends on how exactly you want to use it, as well as on the area of the heated room. For example, many models are designed for 15-20 m2. Even the super-cheap Scoole SC HT HM1 1000W can handle such a room. But it is not as durable as the slightly more expensive Electrolux ECH / AG-1500EF, which is also floor standing. No less positive emotions should lead to the use of Timberk TEC.PS1 LE 1500 IN, especially if you are not irritated from time to time by clicking sounds.
3. Well, Noirot Spot E-3 1000 and Nobo C4F 20 XSC are stationary, as they are mounted on the wall. Between themselves, they differ in power and area of the heated room.A more expensive product from Nobo is able to make life in a room of 27 m2 comfortable, while a product from Noirot should be placed in half the size of a room.
