We assess how easily each electric heater can be set up and how easily understandable the controls and settings are. We used any handles to lift the heater and move it around. While some heaters can be used straight out of the box, others have complicated program and timer settings. Some modern options also have smart features so you can program them via companion apps and smart speakers. Under current energy prices, the electric heaters we've tested can cost anything from 9p to 87p per hour to run on full blast. The Glen 500 W Skirting Heater features BEAB approval from the British Electrotechnical Approvals Board as it contains some great safety features. Just before we get into the detail of analysing the price of this product, we want to briefly highlight the importance of setting yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a suitable product. It’s all too often that we get carried away when shopping and find ourselves buying a fantastic product, but probably actually overdelivers on what we need and therefore costs a lot more than we should have spent. So spend a bit of time looking around at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products in the Heaters and radiators category and use that alongside your own financial situation to set yourself a budget.

The next step for us was to look at all of the products that fall within the Heaters and radiators category, of which we found 55 products at Argos. So we pulled together all of the prices of these products to analyse the average prices as well as finding the cheapest and most expensive options. The first is brand. Looking at the brand of the product is often a really good indicator for judging product quality. For example you’d expect a much higher quality product from a brand known for providing excellent quality than you would from an unknown or even a budget brand. The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Glen is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Heaters and radiators category. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list. Price is another really important factor for analysing the quality of Glen 500W Wall Mounted or Freestanding Skirt Heater vs other products in the Heaters and radiators category. It’s obvious, but you will need to set your expectations of quality based on your budget and the price of the product you’re looking at, against the price of alternatives.

Some portable heaters have useful extras, such as an LCD screen that displays the current temperature or a remote control for turning the heater on from across the room. These features may come in handy: Convector heaters are usually taller than fan heaters, but thin and light – making them larger, but still relatively easy to move between rooms.If you were to try replacing the use of your central heating by putting an electric heater in each room, it will definitely end up costing much more. On the downside, this type can be quite noisy and they don't have some of the more advanced features you can get with convector heaters.

Nearly all have some kind of carry handle for moving about and many have a safety cut-out feature, which will switch off the heater if it gets dangerously hot. More information on quality can be found in this old but still very helpful article from Harvard Business Review. As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it. So let’s carry on with our Glen 500W Wall Mounted or Freestanding Skirt Heater review and explore the product’s pricing.Cold air setting Some fan heaters can help cool you down too. They're not nearly as effective as a dedicated air conditioner, but a light breeze of cold air is better than nothing.
