if you can go for 2kw.
If it had been for more than a bit of background heat or the room was bigger than I would have spent a bit more for a higher output unit
ye it is but only 600w what is your point?
It consumes the electricity it states it consumes, i.e. 1kW. If you're asking if you get more heat out of this for a given cost of electricity than a fan heater then the answer is no - they are all identical.
Better had otherwise it is going back !

That's not quite true. The amount of heat energy you get out for your 1kW of electricity will vary depending on the design of the appliance. Best case scenario is a coefficient of performance of 1 - ie. 1kW of electricity gives 1kW of heat - which would apply to most electric heaters with an element. In practice, it will be less. For example, if your heater is a fan heater, some of your input energy goes to powering the fan. If your heater has a bar that glows red hot, you're losing some of your energy to light.
Oil filled heaters are great for background heating. As the oil acts as a heat reservoir, the heat is released more evenly and gradually than a fan heater. You're not getting any more heat energy for your unit of electricity than, say, a bar heater, but you may find you can maintain a more consistent and comfortable room temperature compared to a heater that is "all or nothing" (on or off) like a bar heater or fan heater. People tend to compensate for the uneven heating and cooling off effect of fan or bar heaters by turning the thermostat up higher, and you may find that costs more than running an oil-filled heater.

Rubbish, over a longer period of time it is cheaper to run than a fan heater- mostly cause its switching on and off all the time but stays boiling hot... fan heaters just go cold as soon as powers cut, it's not instant heat though so having both is best

The air movement, light and noise all ultimately end up as heat. There is no difference at all between one heater and another, they are all 100% efficient.

No, it isn't. An oil filled heater and a fan heater, both rated 1kW will use exactly the same amount of electricity to produce the same amount of heat.

True, but this radiator will still give out heat for an appreciable length of time when the power is off. Turn off a fan heater and the heat is gone instantly.
