Inside the metal case of the oil heater is mineral oil, which is heated by a heating element. The heated oil heats the instrument sections and the air around it. Rising up, warm air gradually warms up the entire room. With a properly selected device, the temperature in the room reaches the desired values in 1-1.5 hours. The heater is controlled by a thermostat.
Oil heaters have a low price, do not burn oxygen and easily move from one room to another, as well as from an apartment to a summer house or a garage. At the same time, they work very quietly and do not interfere even with a lightly sleeping person. The only sound they make is a small click when the thermostat fires.
If the sound of the thermostat prevents you from sleeping, you can set the device to the minimum values - then the number of characteristic clicks will be minimal.
But they also have a number of disadvantages - oil heaters are quite large, and their body is very hot and can burn. In addition, the heating rate of the room is slightly inferior to other types of heaters.

How to choose an oil heater?
Power. The area of the room in which the heater will be effective depends on the power of the device. For every 10 square meters of an unheated room with a ceiling height of up to 3 m, 1 kW is required. Accordingly, for a room of 30 squares, a device with a power of 3 kW is required. If the room has central heating, then you can buy an oil heater of slightly lower power.
fireplace effect creates forced air circulation, which rises and warms the air more evenly.
Number of sections. The more sections, the larger the heater area. And that means the apartment will warm up faster.
Tightness. There must be no oil leaks on the body of the device.At high temperatures, the water, which is part of the mineral oil, passes into a gaseous state and acts on the body of the device with high pressure. This leads to its rapid destruction and can harm furniture and carpets, which will be in the "risk zone".
Additional "bonuses" can be turbo heating, which increases the speed of warming up the room, the presence of a water tank to humidify the air, as well as the ability to remove the cord.
This niche in the market was confidently occupied by Chinese manufacturers. They offer customers high-quality and reliable oil coolers with various characteristics, so all the heroes of the rating are made in China. When compiling it, we focused on the characteristics of the devices, customer reviews and the opinion of service center specialists.
