Heaters

The avenger 25 is obviously a dud. Very fumey from day one. Very expensive. No recall?

quietly. The adjustable thermostat and safety features (like overheat protection) make it reliable for everyday use.

Easily warms our living room and makes the space comfortable in no time. It heats evenly, runs quietly, and is very easy to use. The design is simple and fits well in the room. We’re very happy with its performance, especially during colder days.

Underpowered and claims it heats 105m2 is bollocks. Probably a typo for 10.5m2.You have to sit on top of this thing to feel instant warmth. Good for a small room but that is it. Build quality is good. Show details

We were sent the 2000W Charcoal Black panel heater to test out in late June 2025 as part of the Ambassador Program. We have used it in the nursery… Read more

since receiving it until around November 2025, due to having one of the coldest winters on record and a newborn. Firstly, it is a lovely unit to look at with a fabric finish, slimline fit and was packaged well. We have used the unit two ways, where we initially had it wall mounted and then decided that it wasn’t as effective as we would like so we then placed it on wheels to move around the room. Both ways of using the heater were easy to assemble and all parts were included. The machine itself is a quiet unit, and you can’t hear it working at all, which is a change from the noisier split system we have in the room. The beauty of this heater is that it holds its temperature and the room temperature especially when you are experiencing minus 7 outside. I needed a heater that wouldn’t go into defrost mode, dropping the room temperature and then blowing cold air. The downside to this unit is that it doesn’t blow the warm air at you, rather it blows it towards the ceiling, so if you have it located under a window or wall mounted you lose most of the warm air. It’s also not a heater you would sit in front of if trying to get instantly warm. In saying that, once you set a temperature the machine will maintain that temperature and cut out once the temperature is reached and then automatically kick back in once it drops, making it the perfect heater for a child’s room. The machine itself doesn’t get extremely hot like the old oil heaters, making it that little bit safter for little people. The display panel remains lit up, so if you don’t like light when you are sleeping you needed to cover it, as the digital display shines through the Perspex cover. The control panel however isn’t lit up making it extremely difficult to see and use when the room is dark. The sequence of buttons that need to be pressed to operate the heater and modify setting is also complicated when you are tired or busy. The open window function is right next to the menu button and if you accidently press the open window function, the heater will often switch off overnight, which isn’t ideal when you have a newborn sleeping in the room that you are trying to maintain a consistent heat for. The use of WiFi to control the heater via your smart phone and the app was easy to connect and use. I love the ability to turn the heater on before we get home or double check that it’s been turned off if we have left for the day. Overall, this heater looks great, works really well, and is easy to control via the app. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a bedroom or small space that requires a quiet, efficient heater with smart features.

I regret buying this heater. It barely warms up even a small room, yet the exterior gets dangerously hot to the touch. The fan is loud and rattles constantly, making it impossible to sleep while it’s on.

Amazing heat and looks awesome – Excellent coverage. Always used seasoned redgum and get clean, long burning fire. Fan is very useful in distributing heat on both low and high settings. Easily burns overnight 10+ hours. Show details

remote). Yes it's fantastic . Replaced our Masport gas (NZ) of 26 years due to small broken part we could not get a spare. Firstly though we had the smallest Illusion (Oz) gas freestanding installed but fan was so noisy and could not turn it off, they couldn't fix the problem, so whole fire removed under guarantee . Regency very quiet even with low fan on. We only seem to need the whole thing on low to throw out the heat . Also Fireplaces WA in North Perth were very helpful and easy to purchase from and get it installed .

very nice! – Heater works fine, happy that we purchased this model. Functional and warm us well. Show details

Excellent heater with some reliability issues – I purchased this heater about 5 years ago. Immediately after installation it had problems starting. I contacted Archer who sent Marcel across to… Read more

check out the heater. After a couple of visits Marcel located the problem which was caused by a part not having been fitted properly. Subsequently, the heater has worked efficiently and is extremely economical to run. It's only real problem is that it quite often fails to ignite when it is activated by the remote control. It often needs to be turned off at the switch to reset it so that it can start. While this is not a major problem, it is a source of irritation and slight inconvenience. Overall the heater is extremely efficient and effectively heats the living area of my home (around 80m2). Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase and I have no hesitation in recommending the Archer heater to future purchasers. The only caveat being that potential purchasers do their due diligence on the reliability of the heater and current aftersales service.

20C - We set it on 15C is goes up to 21C and drops down to 14C - Doesn’t maintain room temperature even though the door is always closed. The heater is advertised as a good alternative heater for people suffering with allergies but it drier out the air - Do not recommend this heater.

As a heater, this is a great unit for small to medium-sized rooms with somewhat tighter spaces (given it's a tower heater), especially if you have… Read more

smart devices like Alexa or Google. For a 9-12m2 room, even on the "low" setting where it's only using 1000W of the available 2000W heating, it actually warms the room nicely. We were able to measure the power usage as we have smart plugs with energy monitoring.

What we found great about this convenient little unit was:

- The thermostat function was great for conserving power. When the room reaches the set temperature, the thermostat shuts off the heating element and fan until the ambient temperature drops, then it turns it back on.

- The oscillating feature is handy for spreading the warmth around the room.

- Having a functional remote is very handy, especially on cold mornings when you do not want to climb out of bed to go turn on a heater.

- There is a shut-off timer which increments in 1-hour steps up to 12 hours.

- There is a scheduling function via the app for automatically warming your room on those cold mornings; however, we did not use this function just from a cautionary safety perspective.

- There is wifi (2.4ghz) and Bluetooth for connecting to smart devices. Even though it's a heater and that alone should create some issue with signal strength on wifi, it was still connected in areas of our home that have low signal strength.

- The handle on the top made it easy to move around if we needed to move it to another room or reposition it in the same room to a better spot.

- Pairing it to the app was easy, with Alexa detecting it almost immediately on the network.

- It has a built-in tilt switch so if it's accidentally knocked over, it will shut off.

It does, however, fall short in some areas, mainly the "smart" features, although I'm sure these could be addressed with later firmware and app updates:

- The remote we received with it is a little confusing to use as it's labelled a bit more like a TV remote than a heater remote. The included manual does explain each button though, and while the physical remote and the image in the manual are the same remote, the labels on the buttons on our remote were slightly different to what the image shows in the manual, so if we had not opened the manual, we would not be able to figure out what each button does.

- There is no convenient storage place for the remote. A small compartment on the back to slide the remote in when it's not used would help to store it.

- The temperature steps are in 3-degree increments from 15C to 30C. So for example, you can set the temperature to 21C, 24C, 27C, but not to 22C, 23C, 25C, 26C, and so on.

- The wifi only supports 2.4ghz wifi, not 5ghz or better, so for anyone who only has a 5ghz or better, the wifi function is not going to work.

- The app is the standard type of white-labelled, generic Tuya-built app with limited features, albeit customised for the Ausclimate Tower Header. There are a few language-conversion quirks from the original Tuya app interface, such as the oscillating function on the app is called "shake" instead of "swing", the button to control whether it's running in Low, High, or Fan mode is called "gear", and so on.

- The shut-off timer function only works in 1hour increments, and the app only allows for a maximum of 3 hours (compared to the device that goes up to 12 hours).

- Even though it works with Alexa and Google and uses a Tuya-based app, it does not work with Home Assistant, nor does HA even detect it on the network.

A few other notable things that aren't too much of a problem but just to keep in mind:

- There is an expected smell that comes from it when you first power it up for the first time. However, there is a labelled warning for that over the rear power switch explaining that this is normal. The smell goes away pretty quickly.

- The space around the heater is supposed to be 1m in all directions. Not too great for the tighter spaces or hiding it in a corner.

- The included cord is only about 1.5m in length.

Overall, it passes with flying colours as a room heater, with extra points that it can be controlled via Alexa or Google. But the app, as well as its lack of compatibility with Home Assistant, is where it falls short of getting 5 stars. However, I'm sure with some firmware and app updates, this can be rectified.

the Balcony within a short period of time. Everybody comments on how powerful the unit is and want to sit near it.

my cold bathroom which is only small so I need to use only one switch, (mid heat) setting , I imagine it would need to use the 2 switches for a larger room. The feet were a pain to affix as the screws are so small and awkward to place but my 75 yr old fingers managed it in the end and it's so light that's it's easy to for me to move it around There was a slight musty smell when first turned on but soon disappeared, It's compact size is very convenient as it doesn't take up much space and it sits nicely next to the vanity when not in use, cover with a dishtowel to keep out dust, Very happy to recommend this, especially at this weeks price I attached a tiny piece of black electric tape to the thermostat dial to make it easier for me to use

bought the Delonghi to replace running the aircon all the time, that was using around 1500W when in heating. We thought that the Delonghi would initially use a lot of power to heat then come down after an hour or so and only use around 1000W. Not so the case it just runs flat out at 2400W all night keeping only the bedroom warm. My power meter is showing that this is costing around $2 extra in power every night as to the air con. Expensive lesson learned we only used it for a few nights and have gone back to aircon to keep the whole house warm for about 35% less in power usage.

Good other than build quality of baffle plate which I have had to replace twice now

It’s perfect for the winter months, kept our home nice and warm. And being able to just close the door and know it’s safe to burn out while we go to bed is great for peace of mind.

purchased one - We use it overnight to take the chill out of the air and this heater does the job perfectly. What's good about it is, you can set the temperature from 500w - 1000w over 3 settings with simple switches - the heater also has a mechanical style 24 hour time which is easy to use to set the start and finish times. I was impressed with the build quality, with fold out caster wheels, two way switches for heat control, thermostat, cable winder on the front and relatively small profile - nice and compact. We have used this in the bedroom for much of this winter and it has been excellent to keep the room warm - just turn it on about half an hour before going to bed and room is cosy.

PROS: - 1000w adequate for small rooms (not too much drain on power) - Build quality is very good - Reasonable price unit for quality and features - 24 hr timer - switching for power output (don't have to run at full output power) - Thermostat - switches power off when set temperature reached

CONS: - Haven't found any
