About this deal

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. Our first area to study is normally the features. We’ve given a full list of features for RUSSELL HOBBS RHPH2001 Ceramic Plug Heater above. This should give you a good idea of how good the product is in terms of features and functionality. 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.

Next up we thought it would be useful to narrow down our search a bit more and only look at Heating and cooling made by Russell Hobbs. We managed to find 9 options at Currys. The Beldray Flatbed Portable Fan Heater is basic, but that does mean its very simple to use, and, it's the most affordable electric heater in our round-up. However, it can be costly to run at full power, so it's best for short and sharp blasts of heat than for all-day use. I 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.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.

Convector heaters: A convector heater looks more like a traditional radiator. They can still be moved around your home but are bulkier, and, in many cases, heavier than most fan heaters. But that doesn’t mean you need to jump to the higher end of the price range, either. For most people, middling prices are the best way to go, as these products usually meld both quality and affordability.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. That did however bring up one issue…that Russell Hobbs are known to make more products than just Heating and cooling.

Brand, as mentioned earlier, is another really important factor to consider for buying Heating and cooling. 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? After testing all the electric heaters in this round up, the Dreo Space Heater came out as my overall favourite. Whilst it’s a fan heater, so possibly costly to run for long periods of time, it had a good balance of versatility, heat distribution, style and affordability. Overall, I think that makes it the best electric heater for winter when measured against the competition.Design Whilst it’s not a looker – its plain white gloss exterior feels basic and practical rather than stylish – the Challenge 2kW Convector Heater is functional. Its relatively compact size and light weight mean it's easy to place in a smaller room, and a pair of carry handles on the top means it's easy to move around the house. As such, the Ideal Home team has tried and tested bestselling electric heaters from all of the leading brand names to help you find the right one for you. We've reviewed indoor heaters from Duux, Dreo, Russell Hobbs, Beldray and many more, including comparing the performance of both convector and fan heaters. Then final step after that is to look at the price of both of those criteria combined, i.e only looking at Russell Hobbs branded products in the Heating and cooling category, which we found 13 products. This fan heater is super stylish, offers 360° multidirectional heat, and has WiFi connectivity. It looks good and heats up a space fast, we just found it a little fiddly to operate, and a bit noisier than our top 3 choices. The controls themselves consist of an on-off switch and three buttons; a plus and minus button for raising and lowering the desired temperature (within a 15-30°C range), and a Mode button for changing the fan speed, alongside an LED display. I found the controls a little difficult to navigate as they aren't marked very clearly, and the operating instructions left a lot to be desired, with the instructional manual not always describing the functionality accurately. You’ll definitely need the instruction manual to hand for setting the heater's timer, as it’s not obvious how to do this without it. In short, ease of use is where this electric heater falls down compared to some of the others I’ve reviewed, in particular the super simple Beldray Flatbed fan heater which was refreshingly hassle-free.
