Just come across this on t'internet. It seems like a wonderful idea. Has anyone got this or had any experience of it?

I haven't got it, but seriously considered it. It was only when I did a deep dive into finding reviews (which are quite hard to find beyond all the marketing hype) that I realised that there's some VERY unhappy customers out there- so unhappy it put me off in fact. There was a very illuminating thread on the Money Saving Expert website that was the final nail in the coffin for me. I don't have the link to it to hand I'm afraid, but I'm sure you'll be able to find it with a bit of internet digging. Sorry to put you off, but I was all for it and it took me quite a while to find the bad reviews behind the slick marketing campaigns. I know people that are unhappy tend to be the most vocal, but it was definitely enough to make me change my mind!

We had it in a 60's built office - it didn't seem very efficient. Possibly because the surface area is not that large versus a 'normal' radiator and whilst it went all round the edge of the room (office) where you had filing cabinets etc it seemed to stop the flow of warm air.
It maybe much better now - they`ve had over 50 years to improve it!

Ooh there was a thread on here sometime within the last two years about this. I remember cause I then spent hours reading all about it.

The consensus was its pretty shit, shame really, I really fancy it.

No personal experience but a friend has just installed in their house that they are doing up. They bought / tested it in dining room and decided not to do whole house. It wasn't very efficient and was pretty hard to install nicely / they had lots of issues with it because the walls weren't perfectly straight / smooth due to it being an older house and apparently there was no flex / give in it.
