Product Information

Although the comparison might make your electric heater look cheaper to run, bear in mind that it will only be heating a much smaller area, whereas your central heating will be aiming to heat your whole home. Your heater’s power will be measured in kilowatts (kW). For most small- and medium-sized rooms, a 2kW device will suffice. All of the heaters in our review are 2kW or under. Running costs are usually calculated by the hour (kWh). High demand Once connected to the mains, the electricity heats the oil, which heats the surrounding air. The oil is used as a heat reservoir rather than being used as a fuel. Efficiency Once set up though, the app is actually simple: just a temperature dial, a high/low power switch and a 24-hour timer. These functions are also available using touch-sensitive controls on the heater’s ‘screen’ which go invisible when you’re not using them. So it’s not as complicated as it looks, just more complicated than it needs to be. This 2kW oil filled radiator is ideal for warming spaces up to 20 square meters, perfect for rooms up to the size of a small living room or bedroom. The 9 fins are designed for even heat distribution. Ideal for Use All Around the Home

Due to the long list of factors that come into play to calculate your central heating costs, the only way you can confidently compare a heater to your central heating is to install a smart meter. You then divide your weekly heating cost by the number of hours you have it switched on and compare that figure to the cost of running your heater. You may be surprised to hear that oil-filled radiators don’t burn oil as fuel. Instead, they store it in a reservoir where it’s heated and spreads heat in the room. That’s why you never have to refill it. For the same reason, they’re incredibly efficient because they convert almost all of the energy they consume into heat. These can still be bought, but they aren't as popular or widely available as fan or convector heaters. Also, once turned off, the convector heater will not radiate any more heat, unlike the oil radiator, which will continue to warm the surrounding air as the oil slowly cools to room temperature. The Russell Hobbs 9 fin Oil Filled Radiator is an ideal solution to warm your home. The radiator features 3 heat settings for complete flexibility – 800W for low heat, 1200W for medium heat and 2000W, for high heat. The adjustable thermostat makes it easy to maintain a temperature to suit you plus, the 2kW total heat output is ideal for rooms up to 20m2.Of the 41 products in the Heating and cooling category, 14 were more expensive than RUSSELL HOBBS RHOFR5002 Portable Oil-Filled Radiator and 26 were cheaper.

According to Choose, gas central heating for a typical 24 (kWh) boiler will cost approximately 91p an hour to run. Running the heater on its highest setting will require more electricity to heat the oil faster, and you’ll be using the maximum 2500-watts (2.5 kilowatts per hour). We use a force meter to record how much is needed to topple each heater over and a decibel meter to measure how much noise each one makes while running.
