This means they won’t heat a whole room in quite the same way, but if they’re positioned near you, they should make you nice and toasty.

They run each heater for an hour on its highest and lowest setting and calculate how much it costs for that period. Direct warmth isn’t the only advantage of infrared. As there’s no fan, the Princess heater was extremely quiet, even on its highest setting. Plus, it was the most energy efficient of all the heaters we’ve tested – and by a long way. On its highest setting it used just 13p of electricity over the course of an hour.
