    There seems to be a bit of confusion on this thread between the Dream and the duratec +. They are quite different!!

    I nearly bought a duratec but ended up purchasing a cheeper but larger dream. The disadvantages of the Dream are:-
    1. It's not an inverter unit so it's on or off - this looses it some efficiency.
    2. It needs a separate external thermostat fitted unless you want to heat above 15deg.
    3. You will need to fit a tray heater.
    4. Some people complain about it being noisy - I haven't noticed this -mine seems pretty quiet....

    I'm happy with mine but if a second hand duratec doesn't break the bank then go for that.
