Australian consumer watchdog Choice has just published a report on oil-filled electric heaters, and this Kmart 11-fin oil heater didn't make the cut. The Anko 11 Fin Oil Heater, which sells in New Zealand for $59, was savaged in the review. The review, which tested 20 new heaters on the market, went on to say the Kmart heater was "one of the worst performing heaters Choice has tested in years". This is how the Kmart website in New Zealand describes the Anko 11-fin heater: "Safe and efficient, this oil heater is a perfect alternative for heating." DAVID UNWIN/FAIRFAX NZ Eco design advisor Nelson Lebo has good advice for consumers looking to buy heaters.
