Superser?

Hi All,

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy a superser for the house (for emergency rather than general use). Or any recommendations on a superser?

We do have a yellow gas canister(?) so I will have to remember to check size - are there different connectors for different supersers?

Somewhere in a Downpatrick/Belfast radius or so....

I think I'd like to be able to see the superser rather than just buying online.

Many thanks

  • I have heard that a shop called The Papermill on the Andersonstown Road are selling supersers.
    Not 100% on this but prob worth giving them a call to check.

  • These can be got I see for £60 on amazon - am tempted to buy one. I remember from younger the heat from these can be superb. Are they economical to run however and where, in Belfast, would you buy the cylinders for them? I was reading online that a kg bottle lasts 147 hours on the lowest setting of 1.4kw - is this good then, I expect it is.

    Is a tank of gas not 25 quid now?

    If it's 147 hours worth of heat on the lowest setting, that 17p per hour. Seems expensive to heat one room.
  • We have a Dimplex Oil Free radiator which is very good. It's 2kw but has a variable thermostat and 2 heat settings, I imagine the lower setting is 1kw. £59.99 in argos at the minute.

    Heats up quick then the thermostat maintains it. If your running it at constant at 1kw then 14p/hr if you on Budget Energy !

    I just not too fond of gas things in the house tho supersers are big also, the oil free rad is small and light.
