Popular models of Electrolux heaters

You can find any heating device on the market: oil, infrared, convector, gas. When buying, take into account the purpose and power of the heaters, the name of the manufacturer. It often serves as a guarantee of the quality and reliability of the device. An example of this is the Electrolux heater.

About the manufacturer

AB Electrolux is a Swedish company founded in 1908 by Axel Wenner-Gren. Its founder conceived the mass production of household appliances and brilliantly brought his intention to life. After 5 years, the company produced the most advanced vacuum cleaners weighing 14 kg. And in 1914 the unit already weighed 9 kg.

In just 10 years, a small company has grown into a holding company with factories and offices around the world. Wenner-Gren was interested in new technologies and invested his own funds in the development of interesting ideas. He discovered the potential in the Munters and von Platen project and was not mistaken: a year later, the plant produced the world's first absorption refrigerator.

Today AB Electrolux is the largest manufacturer of household appliances, including heaters and air conditioners.

Types of Electrolux heaters

The company produces electrically dependent devices that work according to different principles. All options are designed to operate in specific conditions.

Electric convectors

More than 80% of the heat is transferred by the convective method. The device heats the room in record time, turns on and off automatically when the specified temperature is reached. The convector can be wall-mounted or floor-mounted and weighs very little.

Electrolux produces the following lines:

• Rapid - heats up the room in 10 minutes thanks to the high power and the correct direction of the air flow.
• Rapid Black is a mobile convector with an increased heat transfer area. All models are electronically controlled.
• Air Gate is a heater with air purification function. Does not burn oxygen and does not reduce humidity levels. The advantages are provided by a multistage filter and heating element made of aluminum with a "shell" structure.
• Brilliant - electric heater Electrolux elite class. The front panel is made of glass-ceramic with a shockproof coating. The device looks stylish, is not afraid of shocks, scratches, does not attract dust. The model works with a sharp drop in room temperature.
• Crystal - the panel is made of black thermal glass and is protected by a screen. The device is not afraid of overturning and overheating. The main feature is heat accumulation. After turning it off, it gives off heat to the room for a long time.
• Air Plinth - skirting heaters 22 cm high. They differ in design: the air flows are directed not upward towards the walls, but into the room. The convectors are equipped with a daily timer and a parental control option.

All Electrolux models operate in conditions of 100% humidity and even with direct splashing. Protection against dust and dirt is also provided.

Oil radiators

This option attracts high thermal inertia. The heater takes a long time to warm up, but it gives off heat much longer. Electrical appliances are not recommended to be left on overnight. The oil heater in the off state will maintain the air temperature until the early morning.

Electrolux produces 3 lines:

• Wave - includes 5 to 11 sections. The case is thin, the weight is the lowest possible. You can find a version with electronic programmable control. The heat carrier is oil that has undergone multi-stage purification. The series has been awarded a fire safety certificate.
• Sport LINE - attracts with modern design. Know-how - MAX time heat technology. The heater can operate uninterruptedly for 45 consecutive days.
• SPHERE - operates in 2 modes, 0.5 and 1 kW. Thanks to the double heating element, it quickly warms up the room. It accumulates heat and heats the room even after it is turned off. The models in this line are protected against overheating and overturning.

Installing an electronic thermostat reduces electricity consumption.

Infrared heater

In this sector, the choice is still limited. The company produces infrared convective devices of the EIH / AG2 series. They combine convective and radiative heat transfer. The heating element is micathermic, it generates heat radiation. IR radiation does not transfer heat to air, but to surfaces and objects. The remaining heat is transferred to the air by convection.

The devices are equipped with a thermostat and a timer for a day, they operate in 2 modes - 750 and 1500 W.

Electrolux also produces another infrared convection heater - a modified version of the AIR HEART 2 series. Here, instead of standard heating elements, carbon heating elements are installed. The heating rate of the heater is 15% faster, a large heat transfer area increases the IR radiation power by 20%.

Specifications

The most important consumer qualities are power, installation method, energy consumption. Devices are selected taking into account all parameters.

The weight of oil coolers depends on the number of sections. These are heavy devices, but thanks to the casters, they can be easily moved from room to room.

Advantages and disadvantages

All products of the company "Electrolux" have the following advantages:

• High efficiency - from 90%. The performance of infrared models is even higher.
• Safety - all models, from the simplest to the most technologically advanced, are equipped with overheating and rollover protection systems. In some series there is protection against voltage surges.
• Electrolux produces options with additional useful options, for example, models that can clean the air: the air jets they create pass through filters.
• Minimum power consumption. Economical devices are equipped with an electronic thermostat. They regulate power more accurately, change parameters more smoothly. The devices can be programmed so that at certain times of the day they reduce the power, and in the hours when the inhabitants of the apartment are at home - increase.
• High quality and durability are a "must" characteristic of a Swedish company.

The disadvantages of heaters are due to the design features:

• To some extent, all heaters reduce natural humidity, as they heat up the air. The safest infrared, since the temperature of the heating element is minimal here.
• The oil cooler is heavy.
• There are disadvantages inherent in specific series. For example, when cooling or heating, the metal body of the convectors clicks loudly. For oil radiators with a large number of sections, the extreme ones take a long time to warm up.

The cost of the Electrolux heater is influenced by its design.

Features of operation

The Electrolux heater does not need special care. However, some rules must be followed:

• The heater should not be left near objects and surfaces that are sensitive to heat or flammable.
• The surface of the convector and radiator heats up, sometimes strongly. If there are small children in the family, care must be taken that they do not come into contact with the heaters.
• Do not dry things on heating devices. A damp cloth will overheat the appliance. It turns off before heats up the room, and it wears out faster.
• Models without a thermostat and timer must not be left on overnight.
• Clean the surfaces of the device with a soft sponge or flannel. Do not use abrasives or detergents.
• Before washing the device or dismantling it for storage, it is disconnected from the mains and waited until it has completely cooled down.

If the device malfunctions, contact the service center. You cannot disassemble the heater yourself. In this case, the warranty will expire.

Review of popular models of Electrolux heaters

The rating of the most successful heaters from Electrolux in 2019 includes the following models:

• EOH / M-6157 - 7-section oil heater. Compact, heats up quickly enough and gives off heat for a long time. It weighs a lot, but thanks to the rollers it is easy to move from room to room.
• EOH / M-9209 - 9-section oil cooler. It operates in three modes - 800, 1200 and 2000 kW. The special design of the sections accelerates air heating by 15%.
