On the market you can find any heating device: oil, infrared, convector, gas. When buying, take into account the purpose and power of the heaters, the name of the manufacturer. Often it serves as a guarantee of the quality and reliability of the device. An example of this is the Electrolux heater.
About the manufacturer
AB Electrolux is a Swedish company established in 1908 by Axel Wenner-Gren. Its founder conceived the mass production of household appliances and brilliantly brought his intention to life. After 5 years, the company produced the most advanced vacuum cleaners weighing 14 kg. And in 1914, the unit weighed 9 kg.
In just 10 years, a small company has become a holding company with factories and offices around the world. Wenner-Gren was interested in new technologies and invested his own funds in the development of interesting ideas. He discovered the potential in the project of Munters and von Platen and was not mistaken: a year later the plant launched the world's first absorption refrigerator.
Today, AB Electrolux is the largest manufacturer of household appliances including heaters and air conditioners.
Types of heaters Electrolux
The company produces electrically dependent devices operating on different principles. All options are designed for use in certain conditions.
Electric convectors
More than 80% of the heat is transferred by the convective method. The device heats the room in record time, automatically turns on and off when the specified temperature is reached. The convector can be mounted on the wall or installed on the floor, it weighs very little.
Electrolux produces the following lines:
- Rapid - warms up a room in 10 minutes thanks to its high power and the correct direction of air flow.
- Rapid Black is a mobile convector with an increased heat transfer area. All models are electronically controlled.
- Air Gate - heater with air purification function. Does not burn oxygen and does not reduce humidity. Advantages are provided by a multistage filter and a TEN made of aluminum with a “shell” structure.
- Brilliant - electric heater Electrolux luxury class. The front panel is made of glass ceramic with shockproof coating. The device looks stylish, not afraid of bumps, scratches, does not attract dust. The model works with a sharp drop in temperature in the room.
- Crystal - the panel is made of black thermal glass and is protected by a screen. The device is not afraid of capsizing and overheating. The main feature is heat storage. After turning off, he gives heat to the room for a long time.
- Air Plinth - 22 cm skirting heaters. They differ in design: air flows are directed not up to the walls, but into the room. Convectors are equipped with a daily timer and the option of "parental control".
All models from Electrolux work in conditions of 100% humidity and even with direct spray. Protection against dust and dirt is also provided.
Oil coolers
This option attracts high thermal inertia. The heater heats up for a long time, but gives off heat much longer. Electrical appliances are not recommended to be left on for the night. The oil heater in the off state will maintain the air temperature until morning.
Electrolux produces 3 lines:
- Wave - includes from 5 to 11 sections. The case is thin, the minimum weight possible. You can find the option with electronic programmable control.The heat carrier is oil that has passed multistage purification. The series is assigned a fire safety certificate.
- Sport LINE - attracts with its modern design. Know-how - MAX time heat technology. The heater can function smoothly for 45 days in a row.
- SPHERE - works in 2 modes, 0.5 and 1 kW. Thanks to the double heating element, it quickly warms up the room. It accumulates heat and heats the room even after turning it off. Models in this line are protected against overheating and tipping over.
Installing an electronic thermostat can reduce electricity consumption.
Infrared heater
In this sector, the choice is still limited. The company produces infrared convection units of the EIH / AG2 series. They combine heat transfer in a convective and radiation fashion. The heating element is mycothermal, it generates thermal radiation. IR radiation transfers heat not to air, but to surfaces and objects. The remaining heat is transferred to the air by convection.
The devices are equipped with a thermostat and a timer for a day, operate in 2 modes - 750 and 1500 watts.
The electrolux also produces another infrared convective heater - a modified version of the AIR HEART 2 series. Here, instead of standard heating elements, carbon heating elements are installed. The heating rate of the heater is faster by 15%, a large heat transfer area increases the power of infrared radiation by 20%.

The weight of oil coolers depends on the number of sections. These are heavy machines, but thanks to the rollers, they easily move from room to room.
Advantages and disadvantages
All products of the company "Electrolux" have the following advantages:
- High efficiency - from 90%. The performance of infrared models is even higher.
- Safety - all models, from the simplest to the most technological, are equipped with protection systems from overheating and overturning. In some series there is protection against power surges.
- The electrolux offers options with additional useful options, for example, models that can purify air: the air jets they create pass through filters.
- Low power consumption. Economical devices are equipped with an electronic thermostat. They regulate power more precisely, change parameters more smoothly. Devices can be programmed so that at a certain time of the day they reduce power, and during the hours when the inhabitants of the apartment are at home - increase.
- High quality and durability are a “mandatory” feature of a Swedish company.
The disadvantages of heaters are due to design features:
- To some extent, all heaters reduce natural humidity, as they heat the air. The most safe infrared, as the temperature of the heating element is minimal.
- The oil cooler is heavy.
- There are disadvantages inherent in specific series. For example, when cooling or heating the metal body of the convectors clicks loudly. In oil radiators with a large number of sections, the extreme ones warm up for a long time.
The cost of the heater Electrolux is influenced by its design.
Operational Features
The Electrolux heater does not need special care. However, some rules must be observed:
- The heater is not left near objects and surfaces that are sensitive to heat or flammable.
- The surface of the convector and radiator heats up, sometimes very much. If the family has small children, you need to make sure that they do not come in contact with heaters.
- Do not dry things on radiators. A damp cloth causes the device to overheat. He turns off before he heats the room, and wears out faster.
- Models without a thermostat and a timer must not be left on for the night.
- The surfaces of the device are cleaned with a soft sponge or flannel. Abrasive products or detergents must not be used.
- Before washing the device or dismantling it for storage, it is unplugged and waiting until it is completely cooled.
If the device malfunctions, contact a service center. You cannot disassemble the heater yourself. The warranty ceases to be valid.
