Product Information

We wouldn’t recommend sitting close to it, as it’s quite noisy, but the sound doesn’t carry, so you won’t notice it as much if you place it on the opposite side of the room. When used in the bedroom, we appreciated the heater’s oscillation, which meant it shot out heat in all angles.

You can either operate it using the digital display panel on one end of the unit, or by using the remote control (that unlike the remote on the Dreo Fan Heater works reliably). This helps them ascertain whether it needs to be placed near you or if it can heat the whole space from afar.

Cheaper competitors I tested tended to be less robust and lacked safety features like the tip-over switch. It was much slower to heat up the space than the other convector heater I tested, the Duux Edge 1000 Smart Convector Heater, however, it is a far cheaper investment. It was, however, one of the noisier fans we tested, ranging between 58 and 63 decibels – that's equivalent to rain on the window, so not disruptively loud, but noticeable. Our Prem-I-Air Slimline electric panel heaters feature a 7 day hour-by-hour programmable timer, allowing you to set the heater to turn on and off at a certain time, so you can set the heater to come on just before you come home, to greet you with a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

Frost protection - An electric heater with frost protection emits low-level heat when the temperature drops below a certain level. It’s no replacement for an actual oven but makes a good focal point for a conservatory or, as Everhot say: “annexes, holiday cottages, narrow boats, shepherds huts and glamping pods” — which gives you an idea of the target market. Performance Turning the heater on produces instant heat, however, it took a while for the heat to diffuse out and reach the other side of the room from where the heater was placed.Argos Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as a credit broker (713206), and works exclusively with the lender, Home Retail Group Card Services Limited trading as Argos Card and Argos Financial Services, who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to provide credit (716148). Energy use While the costs may vary depending on which mode you’re using it in (for example, there’s an eco mode only accessible through the App) the Duux Edge 1000 is fairly thrifty at its highest wattage use of 1000W, which, at a rate of 27p per kWh, will be 27p an hour.

Convection heaters circulate air through the appliance and are often strong and silent whereas fan heaters blow air over a heating element to provide a blissful blast of warm air. Due to its weight, this requires some strength, also a screwdriver and navigating some very small and fiddly screws and holes. It feels robust, and whilst it's not quite as sleek in design as the Dreo and Duux fan heaters I tested, I loved that it’s so compact, which also made storage a dream. This does mean that it can’t provide targeted warmth, so if you need a heater for cold feet, scroll on.

Close up, the Beldray is cosy, but it would probably be a costly way to heat a medium-to-large room from cold. The heating mode is split into three levels, which need to be toggled with the plus and minus buttons, and there's an Eco mode that uses sensors to select the ideal heating mode depending on the desired room temperature you’ve set. Their added bonus is that whilst the warmth tends to disappear the minute you turn a fan or halogen heater off, with a convector heater the warmth lingers for much longer.

The panels also radiate heat sideways, not just upwards, making it a good choice to place by a favourite seat in a large room.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.
