Upon moving to Dublin my wife and I had a storage heater. Horrible, horrible thing. Would spend all night getting hot, then spend the day trickling away heat and despite all our careful adjustments crapping out and getting cold around 6 PM, when we got home from work. They might have made more sense when more people were in their flat during the day.

- fy20 4y agoAs the article mentions newer models are a lot better insulated and only release heat on demand. My parents had one installed last year which allows you to set different temperature schedules throughout the day, and the front of the heater is barely above room temperature.
