Daewoo Oil Filled 800W Portable Radiator with Thermostat and Temperature Control - Ideal for Home, Garage or Office - White

Product Information

They average around 1200W in terms of power output and because they provide instant-heat at close quarters, you shouldn’t need to leave them on for long periods of time. You will have to allow for enough time for the heater to warm up before the space reaches a comfortable temperature, maybe 20-30 minutes.

Depending on what sized room you're wanting to heat, our oil filled heaters range from our mini radiator which is 800W in power right up to our larger 2500W oil filled radiator, meaning you’ll be able to find something to suit your requirements. They’re also safer than some portable heaters because there is no element that could be a fire hazard and are very quiet, so won’t disturb you while you try to meet deadlines or are just trying to relax in front of the telly. Oil-filled heaters tend to take longer to heat up than other electrical convection heaters, but keep heating the room longer after they are switched off. Most oil-filled heaters are also fairly heavy and cumbersome, so look out for models that come with wheels. A good example of this might be when heating a conservatory where no other heating options are available.While this will obviously vary depending on the size and type of your oil-filled radiator, there are ways of calculating the running costs of the models you are interested in. The best electric heaters can help stave off the autumn or winter chill by providing a quick burst of concentrated warmth wherever you need it in your home. 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. We found the most drastic changes happen in the first half an hour and increases in temperature become more incremental after that. They're not nearly as effective as a dedicated air conditioner, but a light breeze of cold air is better than nothing.

Nearly all have some kind of carry handle for moving about and many have a safety cut-out feature, which will switch off the heater if it gets dangerously hot. Because of the nature of fan heaters, the warm air being blown out can reach a further distance more quickly than other heaters, meaning they can quickly heat a room up.Where you only want to heat a single room, such as your home office, oil heaters will usually make more sense than turning on the central heating. It’s also important to note that, if used for over long periods of time, electric room heaters can be expensive to run (as electric is more expensive than gas).
