If you're wondering are halogen heaters cheap to run the answer is yes, but their limited ability to get a room up to temperature usually makes them a less effective heater type overall.

This cheap halogen heater has an oscillate setting, so you can set it to rotate while it runs, spreading its heat over a wider area. It's useful year-round because of its cold-air setting, where the fan operates without the appliance generating any heat. It's another no-frills convector with a mechanical timer and an adjustable thermostat that doesn't list specific temperatures in degrees °C. But it seems like this timer is a one-shot deal (though I couldn’t confirm that) and you need to set it every day.I primarily use this skirting heater to combat moisture in my shed, and it has proven to be a reliable solution. More expensive and much slower convectors won't get the heat going as fast, but they'll be better over longer periods. Similar to to most convector heaters it runs quiet as a mouse, so it shouldn't disturb you while it's running. This feature paired with the wheels makes this unit very easy to transport, to be honest, at only 5kg is fairly light anyway for its size.

Finally, this unit comes with a 2-year warranty for extra peace of mind so you know you are covered should any problems arise. It has feet on the side as well as the bottom, so you can set it up flat or upright as a very mini tower heater. This funky looking skirting heater is made by Glen Dimplex or just ‘Dimplex’ as the brand is better known. While the 2150N is a freestanding appliance and can be used straight out of the box, it also comes with brackets to mount the heater on the wall and maximise space.If you have the thermostat of your heater set to a desired temperature, the heater will toggle on and off once it reaches that temperature – depending on what's needed to maintain it. The Duronic HV220 Convector Heater heats up amazingly quickly and is very effective and has some great features. Our tests also found that they're rarely 100% accurate and will probably think the room is a couple of °C warmer or cooler than it is.
