'Thermic' radiators?

Apparently from Belgium? Does anyone have one or heard if they are any good?

Many thanks

    Seems a bit overkill for domestic heating purposes. :D

    Oh sorry - you mean the brand name. No no idea I'm afraid.

    Good for what?
  • Well, reliable? I've not heard of them before and there are no reviews, or much info on the net.

    If you mean micathermic, then there are tons of posts about them here already and on the wider internet, there are a great many stoked/suspicious "reviews"/sites claiming them the best thing since sliced bread.

    Personally, I bought two and yes, whilst they did give good and very responsive heat, the elements did seem a bit iffy - Both expired impressively (huge great sparks arcing to the case) within a few months.

    So I chucked them back at the dealer and got three good quality oil-filled radiators instead.
  • No, I think 'Thermic' is the brand name.

    They look fancy, and expensive.
