Design and Build Quality
Both heaters share the same white finish (RAL 9016) and slim 114mm profile. A 1500W unit in either model measures 461 x 613 x 114mm. The F119 is primarily a portable floor-standing heater with castors, while the F120 WiFi comes with both feet and a wall bracket included. For the F119, the wall-mount kit is sold separately.
Heating Technology
The F119 uses Atlantic's aluminium-shielded heating element with natural convection — cold air enters from the bottom, passes through the element, and rises as warm air. Fast and silent.
The F120 WiFi adds HD Technology, combining natural convection with radiant heat from the front panel. The result is more even heat distribution — you feel warmth sooner, and the room stays at a consistent temperature.
Smart Features: Where the F120 WiFi Shines
This is the biggest difference. The F119 is straightforward — set the temperature and it maintains it. The F120 WiFi turns your heating into a smart system:
CozyTouch App: Control temperature, set schedules, and monitor energy use from your phone, anywhere. Set different programs for weekdays and weekends.
Open window detection automatically reduces output when it senses a sudden temperature drop, saving energy without you thinking about it.
Energy monitoring through the app shows real-time consumption, helping you optimize heating costs over time.
Running Costs
Both convert 99% of electricity into heat. A 1500W unit costs approximately €0.10–0.15 per hour at current Greek rates. For a room heated 6–8 hours daily in winter, expect around €30–40 per month.
The F120 WiFi typically uses 15–25% less energy in practice thanks to smart programming, open window detection, and the ability to heat only when you're home.
Which One Should You Choose?
Choose the F119 Design CE if:
You want a reliable, budget-friendly heater. You don't need smart features or remote control. You want a 500W option for very small spaces. Simple plug-and-heat, starting at just €169.
Choose the F120 WiFi Connect if:
You want smart control and energy savings. You have variable schedules. You want phone control from anywhere. The €120 premium typically pays for itself within 2–3 heating seasons.
