Radiator company recommendations

Getting the kitchen re-done and now need to purchase two radiators.

We've seen two at Screwfix we like, however the reviews don't seem great. Although from a decent company, the reviews do put us off.
Searching for radiators brings up so many results, so thought I'd ask on here for personal recommendations!

This is the kind of thing we're looking for, but in white.

    The first one is 857W, and the second just 452W - Unless you have a very small kitchen and/or extremely well insulated, these sound too small to heat the space effectively. Even more so if you run your boiler at a low flow temperature.
    Have you considered a plinth (or kickstrip) heater ?
    Plumbed in to the heating system, they blow out warm air at floor level (so you need an electricity supply close by). Available in various sizes up to around 2500W and leaves the walls free. Got one in my kitchen (fitted with a low temp switch).

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    It was more the look rather then the final product.
    Looking for a radiator company someone has previously used that sells similar products they can recommend.
