Russell Hobbs RHPH2001 500W Ceramic Plug Heater, Adjustable thermostat, 12 Hour Timer & LED Display, 2 Fan Speeds, 2 Year Guarantee, White

So far so good. Small heater, great for that extra heat when its absolutely freezing cold. There was initially a funny almost burning smell, but it was just for the initial use and quickly disappeared after opening window for a couple of minutes. Only used for about 30 minutes and room was nice and warm. In my bigger room it topped up the central heating, so I didn't have to crank up the thermostat to warm the whole house. This little device did a great job. It has a timer but not easy to figure out.l, so will have to read the manual! However, setting the temperature was easy default was 30 or more degrees, but easy to adjust.it automatically turns off when the temperature reached to my setting of 21 degree Celsius.

This is a small 700W electric heater for £15 (at time of buying). At the current UK electric prices of 29p per kWh, this heater will cost about 20p an hour running on full. Remember, as with any electric heater, that can add up if left for hours running. The good thing is that this can be set to switch on or off on the digital thermostat, so once the room temperature is reached it will switch off and wait until it is needed again. It also can not go over 30 degrees room temperature. I'd never leave any electric heater unattended, but this little heater is great for a campervan or caravan (or small box room). There is no wire and it plugs straight into the wall socket. The instructions say you should have at least 30cm of space below the heater and it can be twisted 90 degrees if required. It can't be obstructed and pulls the cold air in from the back. In my setup (see pictures) it's close to the kitchen worksurface (which is heatproof) but I will monitor how hot this gets. The LOW setting will undoubtedly be fine (and cheaper to run) for the small campervan and is better than using the traditional 3Kw fan heater I have been used to as it is neatly out of the way and not a trip hazard. Of course, you need to be on an electric hook-up on a campsite or have an off-grid power supply to use this. You can set the timer to turn it on or set it to go off after a time as well as it going off with the thermostat. There is a nifty setting to turn it digitally off and it will cool down for 100 seconds by just blowing the fan but killing the heat (quite clever and safe for storage). Powering it off on the manual on/off switch or the plug will disable the cool down. I previously used a smart plug to turn the fan heater on when it was frosty in the morning and on the driveway (hooked up to power). This defrosted and warmed the van up before travelling. Unfortunately, this small heater will not resume its last known state when powered on, meaning that if a smart plug was used it would not turn on the heat remotely. I want this small heater to warm the campervan on cold autumn camping evenings - while in attendance. For this, it is perfectly controllable with the built-in digital functions. It's a good price and seems well made (with a known UK brand) and comes with a 2-year warranty. Bonus! Oh, it comes in black or white and there is also a smaller 500w version available (but strangely currently more expensive).

Great little heater for warming utility room for my indoor cats. I plug this in while I'm feeding them and changing their litter, whilst they're in the kitchen. Certainly takes the chill off, in just a few minutes. Kits also have kitty-hot-water-bottles in their fluffy cave-like beds on top of washer and dryer. Keeps a chilly room toasty enough for them. Not very noisy at all. Very practical as no trailing wires, but only used when I'm in the kitchen next door and not left on/in a socket, unattended. Lightweight and portable. Practical for our needs in a small otherwise unheated room. No noticeable smell.

Pros - very portable, so you can move it from room to room as needed. Stays in place in plug. Feels solid. Basic controls. Took the edge off the cold in around 15-20 mins on full heat/speed setting. Cons - noisy Seems very basic. Can’t pair it with a smart plug or timer, as once it’s off, it won’t switch on into ‘on’ mode unless you manually switch it on. Haven’t been able to find the thermostat - I’ll have to read the manual, but it’s not obvious. Hangs down from plug, so not suitable for all locations. Review: What I wanted was a cheap to run heater of some sort for my utility room where my cats like to sleep. It gets quite chilly in there, so I wanted something to keep the temperature from going below 10C in the depths of winter. It’s very easy to plug in the unit, but as I discovered, the place that I had in mind was not possible because of the way the heater hangs, and therefore I had to put it under a wall cabinet, which probably isn’t the best place to achieve circulation. Also, my cat who has his bed under the cabinet, wasn’t so happy with it after a while, possibly because the heat was too focused. I really would prefer a heater that can be paired with a wifi device, or a thermostat. The timer that comes with the unit, is really basic, and from what I can work out, is in increments of 1 hour. The ‘heat/speed’ settings are from 15-30, which I guess might be 15C-30C. At 15C, which is quite doable as a minimum temperature for the utility room, the air coming out of the unit was actually cold. I had expected it to be hot, and then stop when the room achieved an overall heat of 15C, but really this is not how it works. For me, this was disappointing and the fact that it cannot be paired with a wifi device, makes it less functional. If it could at least ‘remember’ the setting it was on, that would be something, but it literally has to be switched in manually each time, so that’s a bit of a pain.

The Russell Hobbs RHPH7001 ceramic fan heater gets very warm and works really well. It heats up quickly and does an excellent job of warming a one bedroom space without any issues. The size is great as it is compact and easy to move around while still being powerful enough to make a real difference. It is also cheap on electricity which helps save money especially during colder months.
