We've recently moved into a 3 bed modern flat (c2000, 72sqm) which is all electric and has storage heaters in the hall, living room and kitchen. The bedrooms have panel heaters.
After sweltering for a couple of days I switched off the storage heater in the kitchen. It's not a big room and even at the lowest possible setting was making the room far too warm.

I can't think of a reason why we need a storage heater in the kitchen? It's not a room you'd sit in for any length of time (the only table there's space for is one of those little wall-mounted folding ones from Ikea), and it's taking up valuable wall space that could be used for something else - a bigger table for example.
