Storage heater advice

Good morning, I'm after advice please
I'm on economy 7 and had some old storage heaters which were replaced by Elnur storage heaters last summer.
This winter the flat was much colder and they cost much more to run.
The Elnur heaters were set up properly as I phoned them on white a few occasions and shouldn't cost any more to run than old storage heaters as I was last year on the same fixed rate.
Also they have a maximum temperature of 22 degrees which in reality was about 17 degrees.
Not sure what to do should I replace them with an old storage heater from eBay or a new one of a different brand?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

That doesn’t sound right. Comfort mode is preset to 21 degrees but manual adjustment should go higher.funnymonkey said:Also they have a maximum temperature of 22 degrees which in reality was about 17 degrees.
Nothing wrong with modern storage heaters and no need to replace. As long as they’re correctly sized for the area.
