I would like to add a radiator to our lounge but because of the concrete floor etc and long distance from microbore central heating I would like to consider an electric radiator as a cheaper option. Stay with me, the plumbing question is coming, I would prefer a more normal looking radiator and so what do people think about using a normal radiator with a heating element, similar to those used in bathroom dual fuel radiators? See the product at the bottom of the following web page

My main concern is that would I be able to fill the radiator properly so that they was little or no air in it? Should I use oil rather than water? If using water would an inhibitor solution be enough to prevent any corrosion problems in this set-up?
I have also posted something in the electrics forum regarding the questions of just plugging this into a normal socket.
Thanks in advance for your considered opinions
