Lifestyle Mini Red Calor Gas Heater

Very good little heater.

I bought this to offset exorbitant electricity cost of heating my park home. At least I, I am using gas I already paid for. Not sitting there worrying that maybe I should hide away in bed for the winter! It is absolutely wonderful. Easy to use and to light. Hardly ever need it on full but if I do - it gives massive whack of comforting warmth. My ceiling is vaulted so no damp. I keep a monitor on in case of fumes but none so far. What a way to deal with the energy crisis.

This is our 2nd one - 1st (from a different supplier) was received with dents on and promptly sent back. This is cute, a lovely deep red colour. Fits in with decor. Fairly heavy (for me) when gas cylinder is attached, but is on wheels so fine. Tested it and works fine. Easy to ignite - no problem. Keeping it as an emergency back up in case heating goes off at my mum’s . This could be carried upstairs (by someone stronger than me!) as we have a bigger unit in another room downstairs. Sorted 😃 Negatives: Think it’s very pricy, costs more than the bigger units - which is irritating.

The fire takes a 7KG gas bottle (B&M do a bottle deposit and bottle for ~£80) and then 35 ish for a refill. The only issue I had was when the thermocouple stopped working which is a common issue since a small amount of dust is enough to cause the pilot light not to stay lit. A couple of squirts of canned air was enough to clear it, a hair dryer would likely work too. Other than that, I’m very happy with it since I needed a small fire in a room with limited space.

Nice small size fits anywhere works great very happy with purchase

When it works, its great. Had to change regulator, and still, low flow of gas. Not really good enough to rely on.

Looks really nice - not industrial looking like some can be. Easy to operate. Belts out a good heat.

This is the second one we have bought as a top up for the cold weather. Very efficient. Only complaint is that it didn’t arrive the next day as promised.
