Amazing offer for 2000W radiator. These radiators are energy efficient heating solutions.
shows a £9 discount on Tesco however amazon is selling the same 39.95 so effectively 20£ pound discount. ( 50% )
This high-powered 2000W radiator is fitted with an adjustable thermostat that allows you to choose your preferred temperature. The combination of smooth gliding castors, integral carry handles and a compact design, makes it easy to move the radiator from room to room.
With a safety cut-out switch to prevent overheating and cable tidy storage, the Fine Elements radiator can be used anywhere around the house or office.
Compact design with easy-glide castors and integral carry handles
2000W oil-filled radiator

No more efficient than any other entirely electrical heating solution. If anything, they can be wasteful as they need to be turned off well-before the end of a heating requirement to benefit from the retained stored heat that it releases slowly. Great price for a 2kW unit.

Let's assume your Fan Heater is 800W - the fan will add maybe 5w at most to that, so it's hardly a big deal and more powerful fan heaters make that even more trivial.
The major difference between a fan/convection/panel heater and an oil-based-radiator like this is that the former heat the air and move it around when they're on and do NOTHING when they're off wheras the latter heat-up and hold that heat over time so that the areas is warmed more consistently (tho more slowly at first).
So, if you want to warm-up a room quickly but not for any extended period of time, use a fan heater wheras if you want to keep a room warm for a longer period, use a radiator.
Oh - and if you only want to warm yourself up, some sort of halogen (the heaters with the glowing bars) heater is better as because they specifically warm people up faster than anything else (e.g. the room warms really slowly but you'll feel toasty)
All heaters turn electropixes into heatpixies at the same rate - it's what they DO with that heat which makes the difference.
Current electricity utility price is likely around 12p per kWh unit. Absolute max this heater can use in a 6 hr period = 12 x unit cost, so say max £1.44 in a 6hr period. It's unlikely to be "on" all the time though as the thermostat will turn on & off as required - assuming the thermostat temperature is reached at some stage.

Is this cheaper to run than a fan heater or halogen heater?

Same cost if you benefit from all the heat you pay for. Fan heaters and halogen heaters tend to be the most effective type of heater for instant on / off of both heat and cost. Oil-filled solution such as OP take longer to supply any beneficial heat and continue to provide beneficial reducing heat after turned off (hosepipe versus filling leaking bucket effect).

Don't know what the other guys talking about but these are a lot cheaper to run then fan heaters. Also fan heaters let out dry air which is proven to be bad for skin. I have this particular one and it's only useful in small rooms

how much would this cost to run for let's say 6 hours a day? not sure what electric unit price is

Does this run on electric with plug and do you need to put oil in it to use it
