Convector heater.

the_devil_made_me_do_it

Looking to buy a convector heater for my living room. Just need it to use whilst I'm waiting for the central heating to kick in, or when I'm in the living room & dont want/need the central heating on.

I'm not looking for something expensive or even economical, just want it pretty basic one.

If you have a Lidl or Aldi near you then try one of those stores as they often have this type of thing in amongst their 'specials'. Other than that just have a look in Argos. I'd expect to pay around £20 for a basic one.

The more expensive ones have thermostats & timers & to be honest, for about £10 extra, it's worth it in my mind. They are just so useful. I've had my convector heater for years, it's kept in a cupboard in case I ever need it in an emergency.

Have a good shop around. Often the only difference between a cheap and an expensive one is the badge stuck on.

B&Q do a 2kW one pretty cheap.

Thanks for the replies.

Yes I have noticed that there are a number of heaters that look exactly the same just with a different makers badge on & thus a different price tag.
