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. This Compact Ceramic Plug Heater from Russell Hobbs is the perfect portable product to warm your home office, living space, or even your caravan. Ideal for travel, the compact size means you can simply slip it into your bag for convenient heating wherever you are. This versatile plug-in heater provides up to 30°C of heat from 700W of power and features 2 fan speeds for added flexibility. The built in adjustable thermostat helps you maintain the perfect level of heat in any space up to 10m², meaning it’s great for utility rooms, workshops or small bedrooms. 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. Plus, there’s an easy to read LED display and 12 hour timer, which can be used to heat your home at times to suit your daily routine.

Anything of a nature that for hygiene or associated health and safety - this includes the Outdoor Spas, Mattresses and Divan Sets My garden office measures just under 15sqm and is where I work day-to-day, so it was the perfect place to test out how toasty each space heater could make an otherwise unheated room.

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. However, if you have a larger space to heat, or are planning on running the heater for long periods of time, the Duux Edge 1000 Smart Convector Heater was a close runner up. It's slower to warm a room, but once warmed the heat stays around for longer, potentially making it more energy efficient over the long term, and it can slowly but surely heat a large space of up to 20sqm. Which type of heater is cheapest to run? You do need to attach the feet to this heater – and you’ll need a screwdriver which isn't included. This was easily enough done, however the feet do feel a bit flimsy when in place. On the model I tested they gave the heater a bit of a wobble when it's placed on the floor.

We’ll go into more detail in a moment about brand and whether Russell Hobbs is your best option for Heating and cooling. But the point here is just to make sure you’re factoring in brand when considering the quality of a product. Some brands will be better known for quality than others, and no doubt some of the much higher quality brands will attract a higher price for their products.

Performance For its size, the EH0569SSTK fan is a hard worker. Even on its lowest setting it supplies a good boost of heat instantly. However, that heat has a limited reach and took a while to diffuse around the whole room when tested. The Dreo and Duux Threesixty were both far better at distributing heat evenly around the room. Close up, the Beldray is cosy, but it would probably be a costly way to heat a medium-to-large room from cold. YEAR GUARANTEE - This product comes with a free one year manufacturer guarantee. A free second year guarantee is available upon registering your product. Design Whilst cheaper fan heaters focus purely on function, the Duux Threesixty 2 Smart Fan Heater adds style to the mix. It’s by far the most stylish electric heater I've come across, with a minimalist cylindrical design and modern matt finish in white or grey. Compared to most of its competitors at this price point, this indoor heater is definitely the most design-led. Please note some larger products are delivered to kerb-side (the street outside your home), it is at the drivers discretion if they can deliver the item to another location on the property.

Performance At first, I found the reach of the Russell Hobbs 700W Ceramic Plug In Heater to be limited – I found I got about a three metre range of direct heat after the heater had been running 10 minutes or so. However, when left running for about half an hour, the heat diffused around a metre further, warming the whole 15 sqm room after about 45 minutes. This is no mean feat considering I was pushing the heater a bit beyond its capacity; it's designed to be used in a 10sqm area. In fact, considering this compact heater is far smaller and less powerful than all the other heaters I tested, I was really impressed by its performance.

There’s an easy to read LED display and 12 hour timer, which can be used to heat your home at times to suit your daily routine. The main downside I found to its design is the 1 metre long power cable. I found ihis wasn’t nearly as long as the cables on the other heaters I tested, potentially limiting where it’s plugged in and where it can be used. Performance Besides good looks, the biggest plus point of this convector heater is the size of space it can comfortably heat – up to 20sq m – and that it has an IP24 rating meaning that you can use it in damp spaces. The fact you can also choose to wall-mount it via the included wall kit is another bonus. It also comes with 'open window detection' functionality (meaning it turns off if a sudden drop of 5°C in temperature within 10 minutes is detected, to save on wasted energy), timer, and night mode, meaning you can leave it on a low heat to keep a bedroom toasty whilst the display dims so it doesn't keep you awake. Noise levels There’s no stated dB for this heater but it’s not terribly noisy when running. The high fan speed has more of a whine, so if you find it obtrusive, the lower speed may be more suitable.

The next step in the price analysis was to look at the average price you would typically expect to pay for Heating and cooling and as Currys PC World was selected for this review we’ve used them for gathering our information on the average price of Heating and cooling. There were also a total of 103 products that were more expensive from Russell Hobbs and 16 that were cheaper. Price of Russell Hobbs products in the Heating and cooling categoryI found the heat the Duux Edge provided was instant but gentle, and can be felt about a metre above from being turned on. As it's a convector heater, it did take a while for the heat to diffuse throughout the space as there's no fan to push the warmth instantly into the room, but the upside is that this heater throws out warmth for a good length of time even after it's turned off. I also liked the fact that the Edge enabled me to set my desired temperature down to the exact degree.
