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

Product Information

You do need to attach the feet to this heater – and you’ll need a screwdriver which isn't included. This was easily enough done, however the feet do feel a bit flimsy when in place. On the model I tested they gave the heater a bit of a wobble when it's placed on the floor. Energy use As one of the highest wattage products I tested, the Challenge 2kW Convector Heater could be pricier than others when running on high over long periods of time – although the thermostat does switch on and off once it’s reached the ideal heat. It would cost 54p an hour to run on full power (2000W) for an hour, 34p an hour on medium (1250W) and 20p an hour on low (750W) at a rate of 27p per kWh. How to choose

It’s really good at this stage to spend some time just getting an idea of the sort of price you can expect to pay for your Heating and cooling. When you’re spent a bit of time looking at the prices, consider setting yourself a budget. To do this we studied all 66 products that show up in the Heating and cooling category at Currys PC World as well as the 257 from the brand Russell Hobbs.

I found the heat the Duux Edge provided was instant but gentle, and can be felt about a metre above from being turned on. As it's a convector heater, it did take a while for the heat to diffuse throughout the space as there's no fan to push the warmth instantly into the room, but the upside is that this heater throws out warmth for a good length of time even after it's turned off. I also liked the fact that the Edge enabled me to set my desired temperature down to the exact degree. As well as two heat settings, the Beldray also offers a cool air setting, meaning it could be a versatile year-round appliance. In practice, I didn't find the cool fan setting that effective as the breeze it delivers is quite gentle. It certainly can't compete with the best fans on the market, but I suppose it could be a useful additional feature. Some brands and specific models can make a splash with consumers. Because of this, other companies sometimes offer very similar products that might be quite a bit cheaper. Then the next obvious place to explore was the average price of products from the brand Russell Hobbs.

Design Whilst cheaper fan heaters focus purely on function, the Duux Threesixty 2 Smart Fan Heater adds style to the mix. It’s by far the most stylish electric heater I've come across, with a minimalist cylindrical design and modern matt finish in white or grey. Compared to most of its competitors at this price point, this indoor heater is definitely the most design-led. As with any electrical items, it’s particularly important to study the quality of a product before you buy it. This is especially important for Heating and cooling. But when we’re buying online, what can be done to get an idea of a product’s quality? Performance At first, I found the reach of the Russell Hobbs 700W Ceramic Plug In Heater to be limited – I found I got about a three metre range of direct heat after the heater had been running 10 minutes or so. However, when left running for about half an hour, the heat diffused around a metre further, warming the whole 15 sqm room after about 45 minutes. This is no mean feat considering I was pushing the heater a bit beyond its capacity; it's designed to be used in a 10sqm area. In fact, considering this compact heater is far smaller and less powerful than all the other heaters I tested, I was really impressed by its performance. Design The Beldray Flatbed Portable Fan Heater is functional rather than stylish. When compared to the other heaters I tested, it stands out as the most basic looking, but given its price point – at normal retail price it just pips the Russell Hobbs 700W Ceramic Plug In Heater to being the cheapest heater in our round-up – its ease of use, and performance, this is easily overlooked.

Our first area to study is normally the features. We’ve given a full list of features for RUSSELL HOBBS RHPH2001 Ceramic Plug Heater above. This should give you a good idea of how good the product is in terms of features and functionality. Performance For its size, the EH0569SSTK fan is a hard worker. Even on its lowest setting it supplies a good boost of heat instantly. However, that heat has a limited reach and took a while to diffuse around the whole room when tested. The Dreo and Duux Threesixty were both far better at distributing heat evenly around the room. Close up, the Beldray is cosy, but it would probably be a costly way to heat a medium-to-large room from cold. From confused mid-century bungalow to open-plan Kiwi-style, contemporary home - this stunning home has been completely transformed

But for other PC uses, such as gaming or video editing, you will need better graphics cards, RAM and GPUs. In electronics, you usually get what you pay for. The cheapest of electronics are cheap for a reason, and a general rule of thumb is to avoid the cheapest of the cheap when it comes to electronic devices. Performance Besides good looks, the biggest plus point of this convector heater is the size of space it can comfortably heat – up to 20sq m – and that it has an IP24 rating meaning that you can use it in damp spaces. The fact you can also choose to wall-mount it via the included wall kit is another bonus. It also comes with 'open window detection' functionality (meaning it turns off if a sudden drop of 5°C in temperature within 10 minutes is detected, to save on wasted energy), timer, and night mode, meaning you can leave it on a low heat to keep a bedroom toasty whilst the display dims so it doesn't keep you awake. So the final step for us was to look specifically at products that are made by Russell Hobbs but are also only fitting in the Heating and cooling category. Russell Hobbs branded Heating and coolingIf you’re looking for fast distribution of warmth, a fan heater can’t be beaten. They’re ideal for chasing the cold away instantly, and, if you choose one with a ceramic element rather than metal, it’ll heat up faster, requiring less energy initially to get hot.

Noise levels The Dreo Space Heater has a noise level of just 37.5dB (the oscillation raises this to 40dB). I found it to be equivalent to the level of noise of the Beldray fan heater I tested – quiet enough to talk over but still noticeable. One other thoughtful feature is being able to switch off its electronic beeps. This fan heater is super stylish, offers 360° multidirectional heat, and has WiFi connectivity. It looks good and heats up a space fast, we just found it a little fiddly to operate, and a bit noisier than our top 3 choices.

This actually means that RUSSELL HOBBS RHPH2001 Ceramic Plug Heater is below average against this average price. In the Heating and cooling category, 48 products cost more than RUSSELL HOBBS RHPH2001 Ceramic Plug Heater and 3 cost less. How much are Russell Hobbs Heating and cooling?
