Why Calor Mobile Heaters are amazing value!

In early 1973, Towler & Staines started to sell the very first mobile cabinet heaters powered by Calor Gas. The heater was the Super Ser and it was immediately a huge success, although it was priced at
£109.99 for the heater alone at that time and it was necessary to also hire a 15kg Calor Gas cylinder full of butane gas.

Now 40 years on you can buy a Calor Radiant Mobile Heater for just £65. The heater will burn for 135 hours on the lowest setting using a 15kg Calor cylinder. It has three heat settings with a maximum of 4.2kw. It has a hose and regulator, piezo ignition, a flame failure device and an oxygen depletion system for complete safety in use.

A number of electronic items have fallen in retail price over the years but there cannot be many items which are as good value as this after 40 years of inflation!
