Most are made to be moved around easily and as such they are made so that you can touch them without problem. Of course, keep the heater away from puddles of water! The main thing to watch out for with oil filled radiators is that you keep them away from curtains and don't hang those 'still damp' clothes or towel over the heater to dry!

Seeing as it is metal. I touch mine all the time and I just realised that that could be really dangerous. Hi,

I’m just wondering, is there any risk of electrocution from an oil filled radiator that plugs into the wall? Seeing as it is metal. I touch mine all the time and I just realised that that could be really dangerous.

There are ways to minimize the dangers such as by making sure appliances are serviced regularly, using them exactly as according to instructions, etc. Still, though, inevitably problems can occur. Thanks for the reminder. Cataline, I agree that there are dangers with any electrical appliances.

I was home at the time. I have smoke detectors but , my Border Collie alerted me first. She started barking and running towards the room where the heater was. I checked it out and flames were coming out the top.I took the heater and put the fire out. I was lucky. Now I never trust any appliance. My wiring is good a elictrician checked it out. Nothing is ever 100 percent safe. I do not know why mine started on fire. People like myself have a false sense of security, because they think they are safe. Use caution with anything electricial.

Mine worked very well but suddenly one day it kept heating without turning off it got dangerously hot hot hot!!! I believe it was that the controls were didital not analog.. Not sure this was the reason but generally oil filled electricradiators are gentle heat..
