Proteam Halogen HTR Freestanding

Advantages: Safety
Disadvantages: none so far

...I bought one of these last weekend. I originally thought it was broken. I turned it on and the halogen lights came on. Fine I thought. I went into the kitchen and came back a few minutes later and turned the heated off. The mesh was cold. I thought the lights were working but there was no working heating element. I tried it again and sat in front of it this time. I felt the heat. So, again, I turned the heater off and the mesh was still cold. Brilliant. There is a pan mode in where the heater will move left to right and back again, spreading the heat, it works like those fans. There is also a safety cut off, if the heater is knocked over, the halogens immediately turn off... Now, like I said, the mesh is cold once the halogens are off, so if you have young kids or are worried in case the rotating heater will cause a fire, well... Read review

...● I live in the back end of beyond. We do not have a gas supply, let alone broadband. ● Heating one's house using Economy 7 storage heaters may well be cheap, but it is gosh-darned inflexible. ● My conservatory-come-utility room – a labour of DIY love by a previous house owner – has a tendency to damp. These are the reasons I went shopping in search of a heater. I perused the aisles. I considered fan heaters, convector heaters, all the heaters on the shelves. And I came back with Kingavon's 1200kw Halogen Heater. Oh, the excitement of it all. It's about knee-height and erm… gosh. It's a little, freestanding heater. Look at the picture above. That's what it looks like. It's an off-white plastic, and it's very light to carry, but reasonably sturdy when you put it down. It's hardly an icon of modern design but it... Read review

Advantages: Cheap to have on heats room nicely
Disadvantages: None

...This halogen heater is great and it is cheap to buy. I bought this heater when it had just started coming out and it cost me £14.99 (you could get them cheaper now) when you have the heater on it only uses about 4p an hour so you are saving a bit on your electricity. This halogen heater is 1200 watts and it is great youu have 3 buttons that operate the wattage one of which is also your on off switch and is one bar. The other 2 put it on 2 and the 3 bars but usually you only need it on 1 bar because it soon gets warm. There is a 4th button which if you press it it rotates the fire. With the heater if it falls over it shuts itself off so it doesn't set your property on fire. When i have my heater on it is that bright that i don't need to put my main light on to watch the telly. The halogen heater heats the room up well nd it is a very good... Read review
