About this deal

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. Some brands are synonymous with quality. If quality is your focus, avoid budget brands that don’t specialise in good products. The more deluxe ranges offered by household brands are usually a reliable place to put your money, but results can vary from model to model. But despite how often we use electronic devices, buying new appliances can be a daunting, and often expensive, task. Pinning down an exact comparison of how much central heating and electric heaters cost to run is nigh-on impossible, as the factors below are just some of the variables that play a part: Read our full story on illegal and dangerous plug-in mini heaters for sale on online marketplaces to see those we identified as having serious safety risks.

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. Convector heaters are usually taller than fan heaters, but thin and light – making them larger, but still relatively easy to move between rooms. 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. Keen to optimise home heating? See our advice on boiler controls and thermostats , smart meters , and loft insulation Central heating is much more effective at maintaining a stable temperature over a longer period, whereas the heat from an electric heater will soon dissipate if the rest of your home is cold.Modern computers sometimes don’t even have features that have been standard for decades. If you like the option to burn CDs or store files on external hard drives, make sure that the computer you’re looking to buy has a CD drive as well as plenty of USB slots. It doesn’t matter if it’s a microwave or measuring scales, researching the right electronic device for your needs will save you a lot of headache down the line.

In electronics, you usually get what you pay for. The cheapest of electronics are cheap for a reason, and a general rule of thumb is to avoid the cheapest of the cheap when it comes to electronic devices. 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. The next process we put in place was to see how cheap you can get products in the Heating and cooling category and also just to see how expensive they can get too.

Some brands and specific models can make a splash with consumers. Because of this, other companies sometimes offer very similar products that might be quite a bit cheaper. These can still be bought, but they aren't as popular or widely available as fan or convector heaters. 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.
