With the weather predicted to turn much colder, may be a good idea to have a spare portable plug in heater, and for £12.99 you can't go wrong with a 2KW convector heater.It has a thermostat, so of course isn't running continuously, and can also be switched to a lower 1KW setting.Whatever side of the fence you sit on regards heating efficiency, one things for sure these heat up almost instantly, and will soon warm up a modest size room, and great for a conservatory.If you have economy 7, why not have this on a timer to run overnight which will build up heat in the room when the temperature is at it's lowest, and then will be easier to maintain during the day, but that's up to you.
Anyway, a good price for an effective heating solution.The picture, isn't the exact model, but looks the same.

These are good for people with solar panels. Run 'em on a timer during the day in winter to put heat into the house and use up that surplus instead of pouring it into the grid. Match the heat output to the worst case scenario energy generated on a cloudy winter day. Save money on your central heating :wink:

I really hope you are a child. Otherwise your lack of simple knowledge is astonishing.

What's 2KW in cash?
About 28p an hour ish for most folks I'd have thought.
So yeah.... if you have this on for 6 hours a day (or overnight) you'll have almost spent your £12.99 purchase price on electric in the first week.
But most won't use it like that. I doubt many will use it for much other than a quick blast of heat now and again.

There is also a thermostat setting, so it will turn the heating element on/off depending on the temperature. I have a branded convection heater and if I leave it on for 6 hours, the heating element is only powered up for 2 hours over the on/off intervals, i.e. 4 units of electricity. Great for heating small to medium size rooms in my experience.

heat for the price.....but the cost of this isnt the cost of the purchase....its the cost of running it
