Has anyone here had to replace one since the "eco" ones were introduced?
Any comments on relative performance?

I just got myself a 'henry' At 650W its about as powerful and a lot
quieter than my yonks old 1300W one was.

Mine is pre the power reduction, but has two power settings. It always
defaults to the lower power and that usually does everything, so we
rarely select the higher setting, but there are occassions where
switching it to the higher power does help. That was surely a sensible
compromise?
