Storage Heater purchase - advise needed ! ! !

Hi

We're looking at buying a new Storage Heater for our house and don't know where to begin -

Has anyone any suggestion of a make/model that will do the job ?

We've already two older units downstairs and need this additional unit for the upstairs.

    We bought two of the Dimplex DuoHeat heaters last Autumn and they're brilliant! They are quite a bit more expensive, but they are good!

    We replaced our 15 year old Dimplex storage heaters with modern Dimplex Automatic ones, slightly more expensive than the basic model, but we've noticed a considerable reduction in amount of electricity being used.

    Bought them from a local wholesales, but I saw similar ones on www.tlc-direct.co.uk. Had them fitted by a local electrician.

    I bought and fitted two Stiebel storage heaters before winter. I got them here: http://www.hwelectric.co.uk I am really pleased with them, they still have plenty of heat even at night. They also do Dimplex and others, good prices from what I could see. To be honest, I think most brands are pretty good now, they are so much better than the storage heaters of old...

    I would go for dimplex everytime. I`ve used them in the past and they are much better than the creda ones.
