Russell Hobbs 500W Ceramic Plug Heater, Electric Heater Adjustable thermostat, 12 Hour Timer & LED Display, 2 Fan Speeds, 2 Year Guarantee, Black, RHPH2001B

The media could not be loaded. I actually really like this under desk heater. Keeps me nice and warm in my office so much so I have to turn it off sometimes. It has 2 settings high and low which is great. I don’t agree that it’s really loud. The noise from the cars outside are much louder than the heater. Video supplied for loudness.

Although this plug in heater is only 500 watts it certainly throws out a decent amount of heat for it's size.I use it mainly in my living room to maintain a constant temperature. My living room is larger than the recommended 10m2 at around 25m2. It will heat the room but it will take a couple of hours to do so with doors and windows shut. I usually turn my heating on for an hour to get it up to temperature then switch it off. I then let this little heater run in the background to maintain the room temperature.At around 17 - 18p an hour to run it's a lot cheaper than running my gas central heating all day, which is useful when you are on a budget.It is easy to operate. The temperature can be set up to 30 deg centigrade, it has 2 fan settings and a useful timer function.My only criticism is the 2yr warranty which is basically a non starter. When you go to the website to register the appliance you need to input a serial number. Where is it?The label attached has several numbers on it but none appear to be a serial number - hence only 4*Overall I am happy with my purchase and have since bought a second one for my bedroom.

I bought this for my campervan when on electric. 500w is a low power heater but this puts out a lot of heat. I had one of almost identical design which broke so bought this branded one and its clear this is much better quality than the previous one. Keeps my camper nice and warm.

Why I expected a fan heater to be quiet I don’t know. I saw one review say it was quiet and for some reason believed it.As far as fan heaters go, it’s not a noisy one, but it’s not quiet either. I think I’d find it annoying being in the same room as it.Apart from that it does what it’s supposed to do and at 500W should be relatively economical. Obviously designed for relatively small rooms.

This unit looks so cool, it claims to have a timer, two levels of fan and you can set the temperature. The truth is the first one I received the display/controls didn't function correctly and the second one had clearly been previously returned, was noisy and gave out very little heat !.. At this point I gave up and returned that as well. It's a pity, but looks aren't enough, the build quality and functionality are dreadful.. Avoid !

Needed a small, plug in heater to bring warmth to a small study space and this certainly does the job. It's efficient at heating up and the timer and temperature controls are easy to follow. Easy to move from room to room, rather than having to carry a big heater

** Update ** After a couple of week's use, my heater went super noisy too. I don't know if the other occurrences are the same, but mine was down to the 'button' beneath the 3 pin plug rattling against the casing. If you're confident it's a few minute's work to dismantle the unit and put a spring at the back of it that was obviously omitted during manufacturing.If you're not one to fiddle, a bit of insulating tape or superglue round the 'button' below the 3 pin plug to stop it rattling would almost certainly work too. Lovely and quiet now! ** End of update **Make no mistake, you are not going to be dozing the winter away thinking you are lying on a Mediterranean beach using one of these! But you will be able to take the chill off a fair sized room for whatever 0.5Kw per hour costs you in these extortionate times. The noise is intrusive if there is nothing else going on, but no more than any other fan heater. If you're making breakfast or watching TV you won't notice it.People have worried that the heater can't be plugged into a socket within X miles of the floor. This is Health and Safety rubbish! Fan heaters with more than 4 times the output of this are actually made to sit on the floor...check with use by all means, but floors more than a couple of inches below it are barely warmed.One annoyance is that it can't be turned on with a timer or smart socket, only with the integral push on/push off switch. I guess this removes the risk of it being remotely activated after someone else has helpfully covered it with something flammable, but it doesn't appear to have been considered an issue by other heater manufacturers. Still a useful item to have to keep winter at bay. A bit.

Has a bad smell almost like burning plastic, will likely go away over time, but not really ideal as it makes the whole room stink. Good at heating my small office, but noisier than I would have liked.Honestly you would be better just getting a standard convection heater.
