The B&Q ones are metal cased, while the Homebase ones are plastic.Originally posted by SueEllen View PostYeah.
The Homebase/Argos ones can catch fire more easily than the type Norrahe is buying. So while they advertise the Homebase ones as being used in basements etc when people have asked questions about leaving them unattended they state they shouldn't be.
Also some of the B&Q older ones had a massive recall because of an electrical fault. I then looked on eBay and found sellers selling loads of them. I asked one guy what the model number was and he refused to tell me.
Just to make sure, I keep one under the curtains in the front bedroom.
