    No electric heater is more efficient than any other, regardless of age or type.

    Gloomendoom is right. For safety reasons, most people prefer either an oil filled (ie sealed) electric radiator or a traditional convector heater - not a radiant heater, but there is absolutely to difference in terms of efficiency.

    I got a electric fan heater from Amazon, but after my electric bill going from £27 to £49 in one month I stopped using it and my bill went back down to the £27/£28 mark.

    Just be careful.

    Lidl OR Aldi seem to be selling competitively priced heaters ,at the end of the day it's personal preference and of course how much you have to spend.
    I would buy oil filled rads for safety,not to forget fan heaters can be noisy. :beer:
