Some portable heaters have useful extras, such as an LCD screen that displays the current temperature or a remote control for turning the heater on from across the room.

Some are called 'oil-free' and function in a comparable way, just with an internal heating element instead of any oil.

Adjustable thermostat Using this function, a portable heater will heat the room and when the desired temperature is reached, it will try to maintain the room at that temperature. Most of the cheaper, simpler heaters we tested have a dial thermostat that doesn't let you choose specific temperatures in °C. You'll likely need to buy a more expensive model for that. Our tests also found that they're rarely 100% accurate and will probably think the room is a couple of °C warmer or cooler than it is. If you were to try replacing the use of your central heating by putting an electric heater in each room, it will definitely end up costing much more.Some modern options also have smart features so you can program them via companion apps and smart speakers.
