Underfloor heating is wonderful. It does take time to heat up from cold but if you leave it on at a steady room temp of say 20C-21C, you will feel a wonderful sense of all enveloping comfortable heat as you walk in the house, without it feeling stuffy and with the benefit of floors that are warm and dry wquickly when you mop them.
As they heat from bottom to top, they don't require huge amounts of heat to feel warm - a radiator system needs hot water at 60C to warm a house properly. A water fed underfloor system only requires about 40C I think.
The one person I knew who didn't like it turned it off at night, and so he felt cold in the morning as it took a long time to warm the house up; which defeated the object.
