Lloytron F2003WH Staywarm 2000W Upright / Flatbed Fan Heater
Customer satisfaction rating 81%
This is our No. 1 selling low budget 2 Kw flat fan heater, for a short-term cheapie It has a high satisfaction rate with 81% of users giving it 3 to 5 stars and 53 % of all users giving it the top 5-star rating.
The Heater is BEAB approved but as to be expected from a generic Chinese made heater at a throwaway price the build quality is low and they tend to break down on average after 2-3 seasons.
It has a short (1-metre lead) but it does have an integrated carry handle. We recommend this as a spot heater to be used to heat up cold spots and not for use for extended periods of time.
NB: We have had a few reports of the supplied plug overheating and we recommend fitting a new one, cost under £2 from most shops or Amazon
2 heat settings 1kW & 2 kW: Anti-freeze function: Fan only setting: Variable Thermostatic control: Safety cut out

This is a robust little Chinese made stand up 2kW heater with 2 heat settings, adjustable thermostat and a safety cut out to prevent overheating.
It has a reasonable customer satisfaction rate with 73% of users giving it 3 to 5 stars and 45% of all users giving it the top 5-star rating.
Our test one has been in use as an occasional heater in my tool shed since Autumn 2010. I use it as a fan there in summer and am using it again this winter (2019/2020).
Not recommended for use as your main space heater or for prolonged times.
A dinky little heater at a throwaway price, ideal for getting you out of trouble until you can get something more permanent!
Look around before buying as you may get the same heater for less under a different brand.
Note: This does not have a tilt switch off so if you knock it over it will stay turned on

Honeywell HZ-510E1 1.8kW Heavy Duty Fan Heater
We love this heater, not just because of its classy retro look but because it is a pretty impressive piece of kit too. The price tends to hover around £50 and it is worth shopping around for.
The Honeywell is heavy duty with a robust steel chassis, hardy enough for the garage yet stylish enough for the home. Its wide dispersal delivery system means it can effectively heat up an area of 22M2
It comes with rubber non-slip feet, hot grill indicator, overheat and anti-tilt protection plus a free 3 year manufacturers guarantee.

Honeywell HZ-500E Quick Fan Heater
85% Customer satisfaction rating
Honeywell makes really good heaters, this is no exception. A stylish sub £50 slimline fan heater which can be used free-standing or wall mounted (with the bracket provided).
It has 3 heat settings (1, 1.5 & 2Kw) and a fan only function, adjustable thermostat, anti-frost function, overheat protection, onboard cord storage, splashproof rated (though not for bathroom use).
Honeywell claims it is whisper-quiet, we tested ours on the 1Kw setting and got 39db (as loud as a whispered conversation), but turn it on full and it does get noisy.
For added protection the heater is covered by Honeywell's 3 year manufactures guarantee.
Measures approx 28 x 18 x 35 cm. Weight 1.9Kg

Best Budget Buy Radiant Heater Under £20
Cheap Halogen Heaters:
Shops are flooded with very cheap Halogen tube heaters, these are Chinese imports and can be bought by wholesalers for as little as $1 US each.
With these cheap models, the tubes often break during normal use and the heating elements burn out. For this reason, the Home Heating Shop does not endorse them.
To make a decent Halogen type heater is expensive. It costs over £100 for a good one (see our radiant heater review page).
However, Warmlite has a small range on which they give a free extended 2-year guarantee on (you must register online).
If you want a cheap halogen heater than we recommend a guaranteed product from Warmlite.
