Buyer Guide to Choose the Best Convectors
How Does It Work?
A convector is a device that typically joins the system that manages the climate and spreads heat in the room in which it is installed.
This operation takes place by convection, thanks to a heat exchanger installed inside the appliance. In practice, cold air (which tends to stay down) is sucked in and heated thanks to lamellar pipes and electrical resistances.
The process takes place quickly and has, as a pleasant consequence, the ability to heat the air even in particularly large rooms.
This aspect is one of those shared by the products of the best brands on the market: a few minutes are enough to quickly heat a room.
With positive consequences both on the pleasure of relaxing at home when it freezes outside and on energy savings. The speed of heat generation allows limiting the moments in which the convector must remain on.
Among other things, as we will see shortly, there are various types of appliances of this type and not all require electrical power, therefore, with a view to saving, you can compare prices and expenses and realize how it can be cheap to have a pleasant warmth in the house.
Different Types of Power Supply
As mentioned and as the reviews of the various models on the market will confirm, you can choose between convector heaters powered differently. The most common models are the electric ones, often also called radiators, which draw their energy from the current.
Alternatively, however, you can also find gas, water, fan heaters or fan coil units (equipped with a fan that “forces” the convection process), each with its pros and cons, especially in terms of heating efficiency and sale.
In particular, the type of convector, its power and its dimensions must be calibrated both on your habits (how much you like that the house is warm), and on the size of the rooms, which must be directly proportional to the size of the device.
Where to Place It?
Depending on where you plan to place the convector, you can choose between two types: wall-mounted or floor-standing. The differences are not so much in terms of efficiency and heating power but only in size.
Keep in mind that usually, these appliances integrate a tray that collects the condensation that is formed during use, so remember to check it and empty it from time to time.
Also, please take a look at the filters that take care of blocking the dust and clean them, so you don’t run the risk of them getting clogged.
A disadvantage of the convectors is inherent in their operation and is linked to the fact that in the rooms where they are in process, in the first minutes of using the air at the height of the feet is considerably colder than that at the head. After a few moments, however, the temperature stabilizes.
Compact Design
This convector proposed by Vortice is first of all known for its extremely compact design that allows it to be positioned anywhere, as long as a socket is available, which is essential to power it.
The presence of comfortable handles on the sides also allows you to transport it without much effort, given the weight of just over 5 kilos.
The 70211 model proposed by Vortice can be kept on the floor thanks to the feet with non-slip rubber pads designed for this use that keep it well planted on the ground.
If you want, you can also choose to mount it on the wall, but in this case, you have to foresee an additional expense for the purchase of the mounting kit not offered in the bundle. The front feet, if positioned separately, can be safely removed, while the rear ones will act as spacers between the device and the wall.
Heat when Needed
The convector can reach a maximum power of 2,000 watts, an option recommended by users to quickly heat the room in which the device is inserted.
Once the desired temperature has been reached, the power supplied can be lowered to 800 watts, to keep the area warm, thus reducing electricity consumption.
The air comes out of the convector from a front grill, pushed by a fan. Users appreciate the antifreeze function that allows the device to activate when the temperature of the room where it is placed drops below 5 degrees.
This option becomes very useful in houses that are not inhabited daily, which will not be cold when there is a need to live there.
Quality Materials
Despite a price all in all within reach of everyone, the Vortice 70211 leaves you amazed at the quality of the materials with which it is made.
For example, the two side panels are made of steel, in turn, painted with scratch-resistant paint. The same applies to the upper and side grids, while the side panels are produced with a high-quality resin which gives it the right strength.
Users who have purchased it point out that the fan designed to let out the heat generated inside the convector is mainly silent, a feature that allows you to insert the Vortice model even in the bedroom.
Cleaning the convector is simple: using a damp (and not wet) cloth, the side panels can be cleaned, while as regards the accumulations of dust that could be created near the ventilation grille, they can be removed using a standard bottle brush.
