Don't buy this Kmart electric heater
Oil-column heaters are found in many Kiwi homes, but they aren’t all created equal – some are downright rubbish.

Perhaps that particular heater was faulty? Although, the member review by Gavin S. says "was this heater actually rated at a lower power output than specified on the data label?", so the problem may be more widespread.
Measurement of the instantaneous load over the course of the 120 min test would indicate just how often it's drawing 2.4 kW, then we'd know what's really going on.
