All electric heaters have virtually the same efficiency; which is very close to 100%.

The difference is in the way they distribute their heat.

Oil filled panels/radiators are slow to heat up - but hold heat longer.

Fan heaters quickly warm up a room.

There really is little difference in running costs.

When buying Electric heater alway makesure to check for the kw. The higher the kw the more the cost of electricity. I have two 500watt heaters at home which effectively as good purchased from Argos.
