Anyone know of any deals at the moment or anyone planning another bulk buy?

We have two here. One is permanently plugged in our daughter's room. I also have attached an Efergy Ego unit in series to remote control it. Here is last nights:



It shows when the Heatermate went on and off, managing the temperature (set to 18c) in the room. Pretty cool stuff - and saves power while doing it.

I got two last year and never ended up using the second one. Still brand new in the box.

Make me an offer?

Interesting... How often does the ego update the graph? Is it every 30 mins? By the looks of it the heater would only be on 50% of the time.

30 mins average, that night around 450 Watts, much better than the non-temperature dial on the heater itself.

I thought they used to sell them direct from their website, in discounted packs of 5, but I can't see any way to buy from their website any more?


EDIT: Ah nevermind, there are still buy now buttons. Looks like you only need 3 to get the $30AU rate now.

Looks like based on three, shipping to NZ and about a 2.5% Visa fee we are looking at about $37NZD each. Anyone else keen on one?

I'm in Auckland, so possibly plus shipping within New Zealand.

Of course they do, this is because I bought one earlier for $65

Thanks for the headsup though

I bought 3 Heatermates from their website about 5 weeks ago.

Cost me $nz125 for the 3 of them delivered

The places in NZ that sell them vary in price from about $55 to $75+ per device

Gutted. Though I'm the same for impulse control. Cool new toy + internet = impulse buying sprees.

You should try TradeMe lucky dip, come home p#ssed to the eyeballs on Friday night, get on TradeMe and other sites, buy stuff .

Next week its like Christmas, all this stuff turns up you cant remember buying, and have no use for.  Every package is a surprise.
