Wall mounted

Wall mounted
The main advantages

An old-timer of the Russian convector market, not at all obsolete over the past 7 years. It practically does not dry the air, it heats up gently and accurately. Thanks to the electronic thermostat, you can set the desired temperature with a high degree of accuracy. With a maximum declared heating area of ​​18 square meters, the device is able to cope with 25 square meters.

There is protection against splashes and frost, which will allow you to use the convector in winter in an unheated room. The clicks of the thermostat on and off are almost inaudible - you can safely mount the CNS 150 S in your bedroom.

Advantages
  • High heating efficiency
  • Quiet operation
  • There is frost protection
  • Classic design
  • Dries air minimally
Minuses
  • High price
Wall mounted
The main advantages
  • The closed layout of the heating module and the smoothness of the temperature rise / drop predetermine the complete absence of noise during operation
  • Reliable automation minimizes the risks of equipment failure due to voltage surges in the household power supply
  • The automatic restart function restores the heating cycle of the product in the event of a sudden power outage
  • The high quality of the case, equipped with rounded edges, eliminates mechanical injury to the user and the likelihood of getting burned in direct contact with external surfaces
  • Compliance with the IP 24 class predetermines the presence of protection against the penetration of large elements into the working area and splashing water
Wall mounted
The main advantages
  • Protection class IP 24 predetermines the possibility of regular use of the device in rooms with high humidity
  • Competent block layout eliminates contact burns if the equipment operation rules are followed
  • Reduced energy consumption reduces the financial costs of heating with regular use of the product
  • Proprietary ASIC thermostat maintains high accuracy of temperature setting with a minimum tolerance of 0.1 degrees Celsius
  • Compact body dimensions simplify the installation of the convector even in very tight spaces
  • The automated module minimizes the risks of equipment breakdown in case of significant voltage drops and restores the specified operating parameters after the resumption of electricity supply

Floor

Floor
The main advantages

Stylish convector for heating rooms up to 10 - 12 sq. meters. The X-shaped Double-G-Force heating element ensures an even temperature rise in the room.

You can control the convector using the remote control or touch buttons directly on the front glass-ceramic panel. The room temperature is also displayed there.

Air heating occurs in two modes: economical (500 W) and standard (1000 W). When the desired temperature is reached, switch to the Comfort mode - the device will maintain the required heat level and even after a power outage will restore the preset parameters.

Keep in mind that the sensor is located inside the convector, so it overestimates the real temperature in the room by 1 - 2 degrees. There is nothing wrong with that, it gets used quickly.

Advantages
  • Great design
  • Fast, uniform heating
  • Remote control included
  • Convenient management
  • Frost and overheating protection
  • Compact dimensions
  • Profitability
Minuses
  • Temperature sensor overestimates real values
Floor
The main advantages

An interesting model with filters for air purification. The manufacturer claims that thanks to them, dust does not rise along with the streams of warm air, so the atmosphere in the room is always fresh. In practice, you will hardly notice a tangible effect of the innovation, since the air flow from the convector is not strong enough to carry large dust particles with it.

But the power of the X-DUOS heating element will be obvious immediately: it will quickly raise the temperature in a room with an area of ​​up to 20 square meters. meters. The convector can be operated in full and half power modes and is controlled by a mechanical switch. The set includes high-quality legs, which is not often found in this price category.

The device is suitable for any room, except for a bedroom: when it cools down, it emits soft but audible clicks.

Advantages
  • Rapid heating
  • Simple controls
  • Feet with wheels included
  • Cute design
  • Low price
Minuses
  • Clicks on cooling
Floor / Inexpensive
The main advantages
  • Heating Energy Balance technology guarantees a quick exit of the heating element to the set temperature and no negative effect of air drying
  • The Resistance Control system forms resistance to strong voltage surges in the household power supply and protects equipment from damage
  • Heat-resistant and impact-resistant glass of the front panel protects the equipment from physical damage, and the user from getting burned
  • Convenient side temperature regulator has an increased size, high smoothness of movement and precise positioning at the set value
  • Wide, extra-long legs reduce the risk of the device tipping over in case of accidental contact with a moving object

Inexpensive

Inexpensive
The main advantages

A rare representative of a premium brand in the segment of inexpensive convectors. The design is simplified as much as possible: instead of an electronic one, there is a mechanical thermostat with several heating modes. Perhaps the device does not achieve great accuracy in maintaining the temperature, but it keeps plus or minus 2-3 degrees perfectly.

At the same time, it works extremely economically: a 1 kW heating element turns on for a minute, then after turning off, natural convection takes place for 4-5 minutes.

When it cools, the unit clicks, but you quickly get used to it. For a bedroom, probably, it is not quite suitable, but for other rooms up to 15 sq. meters - more than. Good legs with rollers allow you to move the convector from place to place without any difficulty.

Advantages
  • Rapid heating
  • Simple controls
  • High reliability
  • The case does not heat up much
  • Profitability
  • Nice castors included
Minuses
  • There are slight clicks when cooling
Inexpensive
The main advantages

A simple but rather effective convector for the purpose of quickly heating a room up to 15-18 sq. meters. The simplest setting is within two power levels - 900 and 1500 W.

This model is best suited for heating technical and non-residential premises. You can put it in the bedroom as well, since the clicks are almost inaudible when the appliance heats up and cools down, however, it is recommended to use this convector in tandem with a humidifier.

The advantages of the device are in its compactness, lightness (weight - only 3.8 kg) and mobility.

Minus - in the absence of a thermostat: the convector cannot maintain the set temperature. However, at this price point, you rarely find something more technically advanced. The TEC.E0 M 1500 has narrow local tasks, and it copes with them perfectly.

Advantages
  • Rapid heating
  • Compactness
  • Quiet operation
  • Low price
Minuses
  • No thermostat
  • Dries the air

How to choose the right convector?

First, calculate the required power of the convector. For rooms with a ceiling height of up to 3 meters, the convector power / 100 formula applies. A 1500 watt appliance can adequately heat a 15 square meter room. If the room has a large window or a blank wall facing the street, it is better to take a more powerful convector, with a margin.

A very important parameter is the degree of oxygen combustion by the heater, or, more simply, how much the device dries the air.It is very unpleasant to wake up in the morning with dry mouth and a feeling of lack of oxygen. Manufacturers' statements about the complete absence of oxygen combustion are marketing, all convectors dry the atmosphere in the room to one degree or another. This parameter is critical for bedrooms and children's rooms. There you need to choose a device with the least overdrying of the air or buy a humidifier in pair with the convector.

The same goes for clicks when working. Cheap models tend to have a thin front wall. To exclude its incandescence during operation, the manufacturer puts the heating element on the bottom panel, without fixing it on the front. Because of this, when the thermostat turns off the power, a click or vibration of the case occurs, and the resulting hangar effect amplifies the sound.
