I bought one of these on a whim in Asda yesterday, and was trying it out in my home office today and I can honestly say, its pants. My office is smaill 2m x 3m and had the heater running all morning, and it made very little difference to the heat in the room.

I was hoping to use it rather than heating the entire house, but no the central heating has just had to go on. Handy Heater might be able to heat a small cupboard, but not thisroom, will be taking it back to Asda, today to get my money back. Shame as I really wanted this to work.

That's a shame. My study is similar in size (10'x6') with myself in one corner, but I had intended for the heater to be placed near me. As indicated previously, the plan didn't work for logistical reasons. Will get it seen to when the rest of the electrical are sorted but its not my top priority atm.

I have to say the conservatory is a Godsend when we do have sunny winter days. Yesterday it was positively balmy, long after the sun disappeared.

When I work from home in the winter, I just use a 2kW convector heater with a built in thermostat. It easily warms the room. Compared to running the 28kW central heating boiler, even on mains gas, it costs pennies.

If you just want to raise the temperature a bit .... half fill a slow cooker with water and plug it in... obviously putting it "somewhere VERY safe and sensible" so you don't want it on the floor where you'll trip over it when you stand up and exit the room! ..... they chuck out an amazing amount of heat, with just 200W when running on high. It'd raise the study temperature - and keep it ticking over all day without you having to wonder whether to turn a heater on, or off, or on again, or off....
