What Are the Best Designer Electric Radiators?

Last updated: May 2023

Designer electric radiators are some of the most sophisticated heating appliances on the market for a variety of reasons. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but they also feature a number of advanced controls for simpler heat management. Unlike many other designer electric radiators which have been converted from old wet radiators, ours were created to be electric from the start for the highest standard of manufacturing. It can be tricky to narrow down the best of the best, but don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. To help make things a little easier, we’ve narrowed it down to our top three designer electric radiators that would make the perfect solution for any property.

Ecostrad Adesso iQ

What makes it stand out?

  • Ultra-slim 30mm depth
  • Contemporary, minimalist design
  • Pre-filled with heat retentive oil
  • Black & white finishes
  • Vertical & horizontal orientations
  • Intelligent WiFi control

Coming in at number one is the Ecostrad Adesso iQ. At just 30mm deep, the Adesso is our slimmest radiator yet. It makes the perfect choice for minimalist households – blending in seamlessly and providing the ultimate space-saving heating solution. Available in black or white finishes as well as horizontal and vertical designs, the Adesso is ideal for the whole house. With an IPX5 rating, this heater can even be fitted in Zone 3 of any bathroom, as long as it’s installed by a professional electrician, so you really can get that designer look in every room.

Control & technology

The Allora iQ has a similar design to the Adesso but with one major difference: it comes with a sleek oval bar design, giving it a smoother look. It’s available in horizontal and vertical orientations with a choice of a classic white finish or contemporary anthracite. The Allora can be fitted throughout your home, including Zone 3 of any bathroom, making it equally as versatile as the Adesso.

For convenient, designer heating in your home, look no further than the Ecostrad Adesso iQ.

Ecostrad Allora iQ

What makes it stand out?

  • Slimline 57mm depth
  • Sleek oval bar design
  • Pre-filled with heat retentive oil
  • Unique Fast-Flo technology
  • White & anthracite finishes
  • Vertical & horizontal orientations
  • Intelligent WiFi control

The Allora iQ has a similar design to the Adesso but with one major difference: it comes with a sleek oval bar design, giving it a smoother look. It’s available in horizontal and vertical orientations with a choice of a classic white finish or contemporary anthracite. The Allora can be fitted throughout your home, including Zone 3 of any bathroom, making it equally as versatile as the Adesso.

Control & technology

The Allora comes with the same programming functionality as the Adesso, allowing you to manage your heating via WiFi for that extra level of convenience. However, it’s the Allora’s unique features that make it one of our best designer radiators. This oil-filled radiator uses Fast-Flo technology which allows for enhanced heat circulation throughout the body of the radiator, ensuring an even distribution of warmth for more efficient heating that you can rely on. Another great thing about this radiator is that the vertical options are also available in double panel designs. Panels on both sides of the radiator allow for increased heat output so you can experience extra warmth for maximum comfort throughout your home.

If you’re wanting the best efficiency with your designer aesthetic, the Ecostrad Allora iQ makes a perfect choice.

Haverland SmartWave

What makes it stand out?

  • Modest 75mm depth
  • Sleek & stylish design
  • White & anthracite finishes
  • Self-programming technology
  • WiFi control when used with hub
  • Convenient motion sensor mode

Our third and final radiator on the list is the Haverland SmartWave. Easily one of our most intelligent designer electric radiators, the SmartWave is a slim and stylish heating solution for any home. Its curved body gives it a modern aesthetic that breaks with tradition, but it’s not just the appearance of this heater that makes it so desirable.

Control & technology

The SmartWave offers WiFi control, a motion sensor mode and self-programming technology which makes it the most advanced radiator on this list. To access WiFi control all you have to do is purchase it with its SmartBox hub which allows you to programme your heating from your smartphone no matter where you are in the world. So, if you’re used to a busy lifestyle or simply forget to turn off your heating, you can always hop onto the compatible app to make amendments whilst you’re out and about. If you prefer a more hands-off approach to your heating, how about using the SmartWave’s self-programming mode? Fully automatic, this allows the radiator to learn your daily and weekly routine using its motion sensor and it can even adapt to any changes. So, if your timetable isn’t exactly consistent, you don’t have to worry about re-programming your heating to match. This completely removes the guesswork when it comes to heating your home, making for an effortless and fuss-free solution.

If intuitive control is key to heating your home, the Haverland SmartWave may just be the one for you.
