In the winter of Australia, Ade's lowest temperature for nearly a week has fallen to a single digit. Every morning, it's all about to be:the shaking out of the nest, trying to push off the alarm clock and then climb(no), but get frozen for half an hour.
The cold winter in Australia is not just words. Students from the south of the motherland are obviously more "frost-resistant" than those from the north. Northerners who rely on heating and claim to be "not afraid of cold" are shaking into screens in winter.
Especially the house(various villas, flat houses), the winter room is really cold! Blast! Yes!
It rains in the cold air = half a life is dead
Therefore, the necessary heating (heater) in winter is on the stage at this time.
Australian shopping malls and supermarkets are selling different types of heating products, such as wind god Dyson heater for $899, $15 Target brand small sun, and a variety of price electric blankets, which can be taken home.
However, not all products can make heat perfectly!
Kmart, Australia's super-popular cheap store, for example, sold an oil-filled electric heater (A $55 for the Anko 11 Fin Oil Heater), which did not perform well.
Note: Oil Heater, also known as oil-filled heater, is a safe and reliable space heater in recent years, which is similar in shape to electric heater. It adopts the way of electric heating of heating pipe, and has caster at the bottom, which is convenient to move. Power: 1500 x 2500 watts.

A recent review by Choice, an Australian consumer research firm, showed that a popular Kmart oil-filled heating had come under fire, the Australian News Network reported.
People rated the heater as "very bad," and Choice testers even sympathized with those who bought the "crude electric heater."
"its heating range is almost as thin as a door, and you really don't want to buy it," said Matthew Steen, the test director.
Contrary to reality, the oil-filled heating is described on Kmart as a "safe, effective" heating system that can replace other expensive products.

Each year, Choice tests 20 new types of heating sold in the Australian market and provides a comprehensive report on the "effectiveness" of each product.
But tests conducted in April and May found that the Kmart oil tin heater was "one of the worst electric heaters in years."
Mr Steen said the heating score for the heater was very low, at 38 per cent, because it "had little effect at all".
"this is one of the worst electric heaters I've ever seen," he said.

The test results show that the Kmart oil Ting heater will increase the temperature in the test room by 5 ℃, which will take 57 minutes to run!
``After such a long time, it didn't even reach a 10°C heating effect, '' Mr. Steen said.
You know, the power of the heater is about 2000 watts, that is, 2 degrees an hour, but 2 degrees of electricity can't warm your room. According to this power, driving for a few hours a day is basically equivalent to putting a "money burning machine" in the house.
If you are one of the pitiful people who unfortunately buy this electric heater, the expert offers two "remedial advice":
First, if you use it, you may also need to turn on a pedestal fan next to it.
Second, make sure the fan blows at the heater so that the heat of the heater circulates in the room.
How does it feel like it costs more electricity.
The test data show that the Kmart oil tin heater is juxtaposed with the Noirot 7358 ≤ 7T electric heater. The power consumption is large, the heating speed is slow, the heating range is small, and a lot of shortcomings.

Consumers do not seem to buy other models of heating sold by Kmart:
"Please pay attention to your electricity bill!" one woman warned on the Kmart fb group.
"the Kmart small warm fan I use is super expensive, and the electricity bill has gone off!"
Another woman said she had bought a A $29 countercurrent heater from Kmart with a timer. But! The heater leaked when it was running in the room.
"it was awesome. The machine had just been hot for about 45 seconds, and then I saw the light shining," she said.
"its advantage is that it comes with a timer, which means that people can turn it on without being in the room. But I just want to make sure that no one gets hurt. After all, the first time we used it, it leaked!"

In late June, Australia has turned on the "intermittent demon wind and demon rain" mode, there is a "your mother think you should wear long johns" cold. In Australia, however, few people wear long johns.
It is not ruled out that Australian baby will wear summer short skirts and uniforms when they are only 5 degrees in winter. Students' winter uniforms are thicker in long skirts and short skirts in summer. Have you ever asked Australian baby why they don't wear winter uniforms in winter, and don't they feel cold? They replied, "don't you think the winter uniform is ugly?" Ugly. What? Ugly. ? ??
