I need to get a heater to keep one room a bit warmer than the rest of the house.

Are the elec ones all as efficient as another? Anything to buy/avoid?

Mrs goose works for poundstretchers, we got two from there, one bedroom to take chill out before retiring. One front room to top up warmth. Both good value. Would recommend.

any info out there on heat per £?

For what it's worth, I bought an oil filled one to supplement the central heating when micrbits came along and I didn't want the rest of the house at baby bedroom temp. Just something cheap from Argos and it's done the job nicely

This too - still comes out in the winter (3.5yrs old now) as we are in an exposed location and their wall is at the gable end.

In most electrical goods some energy is lost and dissipated as (mostly) heat. In a heater this isn't a problem.

When working from home I use a cheap Argos one to heat just the room I'm in. Works fine and must be about 7 years old now.

I have a DeLonghi one, on wheels. It has 3 settings, temperature control and a timer that I've not used.

It will get used in the lounge tonight as the room can't get above 17 degrees. Takes a while to warm up though and you need to be close to it. This:

G/f just bought a1.5kw DeLonghi for her office during the day (rather than heat the whole house), seems very good & a 10year warranty
