I visited a friend last year and they were using this small electrical heater.

It appears 'timed' because it stop after some time without being touched.

They claimed its cheaper to run.

Anyone knows any? and the price??

cheers

    Bunkum. Or trivially true. 99% of electric heaters possess this magic. It is called a thermostat. If you are too forgetful or too lazy to turn the heater off you can also buy one with a built-in timer or an external timer switch. Either way, there is no magical difference between one thermostat or one timer and any other.

    Far more have a thermostat than have a timer - FACT! As for your other questions why don't you ask your friends what heater it was, does it have a timer, how much it cost etc?
