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

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.

    Is the solution to leave it in "Eco mode", and hide the instructions from the customer?


    No I do not think so as the output is severely limited and the room gets cold.


    Did you know, did you know that some storage heaters do not work properly if they sense a draught of air coming under a door? True. Energy saving comes first apparently.
