Modern Eco-Storage Heaters are Not Fit for Purpose. Discuss.

Zoomup
Case 1. Heater provided with no operating instructions in box.


Case 2. Heater could not be programmed. Reason: it was factory set in "Eco-mode" where programming was not possible.


Case 3. Too complicated with layers of programming needed. The A4 sized instructions are many pages long covering many settings and day options.


Case 4. A recent heater seen has a very small window screen where the writing is about 1mm tall and is very difficult to read when programming it.


Case 5. They are too complicated and not easy to use. Over engineered and liable to failure due to complicated P.C.B.s inside. Perhaps that is the plan. If you can't easily use them they save energy as one of my customers found out after spending many hours over the phone speaking with the maker's tech. dept. The heater is now cold and has stopped working.

    I fully see why. Energy saving is more important than any kind of useability. You know who pushes that, without thought for 99% of the population. My partner cannot even feel slightly happy with any of the technology devices, one can see why, they are all far too complicated to use. If one cannot turn it on then you save all the energy, simple eh? The 500W kettle (to "save" energy), is the perfect example of scientific stupidity over useability!
