Product Information

Portable electric heaters use electricity, which costs 28.62p/kWh under the current energy price cap. Depending on how effective the heater is, they can take anything from 30 minutes to an hour to notably raise the temperature of a medium-sized room, so if you're only planning on using it until the room gets up to temperature, it will likely cost you between 28 and 57p.

If you're using an electric heater over a long period of time, then a convector heater will probably be the most economical to run. Some only use 1kW of power on maximum – compared to 1.5-1.8kW of some fan heaters – and even the ones that use 2-3kW have the advantage that they’ll carry on warming your space even after they’re turned off. This product comes with a free one year manufacturer guarantee. A free second year guarantee is available upon registering your product.

Make sure you place the heater at least three feet away from bedding, furniture, or curtains because if these items are too close, there is an increased chance that your belongings may catch on fire. We assess how easily each electric heater can be set up and how easily understandable the controls and settings are. We used any handles to lift the heater and move it around. While some heaters can be used straight out of the box, others have complicated program and timer settings. The heat is released at a high temperature, which is greater than the surrounding items; as a result, these things will absorb the heat as it approaches them. The fan also pulls in cool air from the bottom of the heater and pushes it over the ceramic element and metal components, heating the air and distributing it throughout the space.

Because they heat up rapidly, they don’t use much power. When the ceramic reaches the proper temperature, the electric current shuts off and utilizes the energy stored in the ceramic material. We use a force meter to record how much is needed to topple each heater over and a decibel meter to measure how much noise each one makes while running. Built-in safety - Features overheat protection with a safer ceramic element designed to automatically regulate its operating temperature. The exterior heater housing stays cool to the touch and has a built-in carry handle, so you can move it safely from room-to-room. This heater is ETL listed and complies with North American safety standards.As well as two heat settings, the Beldray also offers a cool air setting, meaning it could be a versatile year-round appliance. In practice, I didn't find the cool fan setting that effective as the breeze it delivers is quite gentle. It certainly can't compete with the best fans on the market, but I suppose it could be a useful additional feature. There are three main types of indoor space heater, and all offer slightly different pros and cons. We've broken down the main differences below. The controls themselves consist of an on-off switch and three buttons; a plus and minus button for raising and lowering the desired temperature (within a 15-30°C range), and a Mode button for changing the fan speed, alongside an LED display. I found the controls a little difficult to navigate as they aren't marked very clearly, and the operating instructions left a lot to be desired, with the instructional manual not always describing the functionality accurately. You’ll definitely need the instruction manual to hand for setting the heater's timer, as it’s not obvious how to do this without it. In short, ease of use is where this electric heater falls down compared to some of the others I’ve reviewed, in particular the super simple Beldray Flatbed fan heater which was refreshingly hassle-free. Design Whilst it’s not a looker – its plain white gloss exterior feels basic and practical rather than stylish – the Challenge 2kW Convector Heater is functional. Its relatively compact size and light weight mean it's easy to place in a smaller room, and a pair of carry handles on the top means it's easy to move around the house. Fully Assembled - This heater is easy to use and comes fully assembled and ready to use right out of the box

And because safety is always our top priority, the Dreo Space Heater also comes equipped with automatic shutdown and overheat protection. overheating protection - at avenhaz our premium quality is only matched by our safety standards. that is why our avehe179 500w electric plug-in heater is made with a safety feature which prevents overheating, allowing it to be used in in total comfort and maximum safety. Cold air setting Some fan heaters can help cool you down too. They're not nearly as effective as a dedicated air conditioner, but a light breeze of cold air is better than nothing. PORTABLE PLUG IN HEATER – Ideal for close proximity heating in your home office, living space, or even your caravan. Heat is conducted via metal coils with ceramic plates sandwiched between them. The heat is absorbed by the ceramic plates and then released into the air. Advantages and Disadvantages Of Ceramic Heaters Advantages of Ceramic HeatersThe main advantage of ceramic heater units is that they can warm up instantly and it takes very little time for you to feel the heating effects of this type of heater. This design makes them some of the most efficient electric heaters available. 4. Are ceramic heaters cost efficient? YEAR GUARANTEE - This product comes with a free one year manufacturer guarantee. A free second year guarantee is available upon registering your product. Using ceramic heating technology and an ultra-quiet fan, this heater plugs straight into the wall with no power cord and works efficiently yet quietly. The compact design and cool touch outer are ideal if you need a heat source that can be moved around the home, from room to room.

Adjustable Thermostat】With the simple adjustable thermostat, the portable electric heater for the home will automatically cycle on and off to maintain the room temperature at the most optimal level based on the thermostat settings, so there is no need to worry about the overheat when using it. Meanwhile, this mechanism of our energy efficient space heater for bedroom could reduce power consumption as well as maintain the warmth, which is more energy-saving than the central air conditioner.

Oil-filled radiator heating is ideal for larger areas such as living rooms or any areas where you want a constant temperature to be maintained. Some heaters come with a timer to switch them on just for the evening, say, while others have a temperature display or a remote control. A few heaters are even introducing Wi-Fi connectivity and smart controls, so you can activate and control your heater using an app – or even Alexa voice commands. Noise levels The Dreo Space Heater has a noise level of just 37.5dB (the oscillation raises this to 40dB). I found it to be equivalent to the level of noise of the Beldray fan heater I tested – quiet enough to talk over but still noticeable. One other thoughtful feature is being able to switch off its electronic beeps. We set up each heater in the centre of our test room and run it on the maximum settings, with the room starting at a cool temperature. We monitor how much the room temperature changed over the course of an hour using temperature probes. We found the most drastic changes happen in the first half an hour and increases in temperature become more incremental after that.
