What is the general opinion on these rads?

thaks

 

[gremlin16]

They sound posher than calling them Myson

 

[mravant]

It's just that they have turned up today for the new extension and was wondering if they were any good as i have never heard of them

They do sound posh but hey it's just a name...

I did see their website no too much info.

Has anyone come across them or used them?

the only difference between any radiator is the look and finish. They pretty much all do the same job the same way with the same result.

Always thought this was true until last week, when I discovered DeLonghi rads seems to have higher quoted outputs than pretty much everything else, all measured at delta T50. For example, a Purmo or Stelrad 600×1200 P+ is 1.6kw, a DeL' one is 1.8kw...

there are some minor differences in some rads outputs due to fin design and figure massaging(think wickes are a little higher than others), but I don't consider it enough to be of any importance.

The Vogel and Noot ones weigh twice as much as the Purmo and Heatline rads.
From this I assume the build quality must be better.
Well packed and never had a problem with them.

Noticed they're heavier, but the quality of the steel will be as important. Never had a problem with them though.

Ultraheat Compact 4 600 x 1200 HF (double panel single convector, eq to P+), Delta Factor 50, output is as near as damn it 1.75 kw.

According to their brochure.

I have been specifying Vogel rads for about 8 years. Unless a customer really wants something different I really like their rads.

They have radiused corners, making them child-friendly. The paint finish is noticeably deeper and whiter when compared to, say, a Quinn/Barlo.

As Vogel Austria used to be a packaging company, the packing is well designed.

This is the good news. Now for the bad.

Vogel, Purmo and Myson are now all owned by Rettig Group. Rettig have rationalised the distribution in the UK and everything comes out of the Myson warehouse, rather than the old Vogel one in Telford. Instead using their own transport, Vogel now have to use Myson, and Myson sub it all out to third party hauliers. So it is common to get banana shaped rads.

Their marketing material is pants, and the Rettig Group are in a bit of bother. Nothing compared to Quinn, though.

What else do you want to know?
