sorted byReally depends what you want to achieve - quickly heat small room - get ceramic. Oil is better for longer heating, less noisy, keeps the heat for some time after - so good if you want to avoid more expensive hours, but also takes longer to warm up.
Also safety needs to be considered, ceramic heater pushes heat forward, if you leave a shoe in front it may cause fire hazard, oil radiator gets really hot so if you have a toddler running around it may be quite dangerous. Oil radiators takes more space but last longer.
No single answer to everybody 👎
I guess 500 watt ones could say low heat low energy and keep a semblance of respectability
Some benefit from the thermostat/app that lets you control it better, but ideally I'd use an external theromstat - which you may be able to do with smart other devices.
1000w x 15p-20p (Octopus Tracker) = <£1 to heat my office for 7-8 hrs. I'd consider that stupidly good.
Yes it's not on all 7-8hrs because it'll reach 21c and turn off, as most do.
Putting my heating on would be 4-5x that. (edited)
eventually gave up and returned it.
also didnt find it that effective at heating my living room (the basic convector heaters tend to be much better)
ThE Russell Hobbs oscillating ceramic is £20. (edited)
It's like saying you can buy a mobile phone for £20 don't buy one one for £1000. Well it's missing all the features I need or want.
Even more cost effective options are log burners.
I don't think smart heaters are that useful. Certainly not to justify the price difference between dumb versions. You could achieve the same thing with a smart socket but with options on what you want to plug in when you don't need a heater.
Considering gas is 4 times cheaper to heat than any non heatpump electric heater. For the same cost you can heat 4 rooms with gas than this heats with 1.
Simply shut the radiators from the rooms you don't want to heat.
They are less efficient as well so no, it doesn't work like that.
I have compared 3 ways of heating my house over last 3 winters. 1st year heating most rooms with central heating. 2nd year heating with central heating only rooms in use (drayton smart heating which was closing radiators in rooms i was not in). 3rd year now I am using central heating for 20 minutes in the morning to heat whole house, 20 minutes to do same in the evening and electric heater during day in my home office during work. Result in kWh used which then translates to cost is best this year so far. Ie in January itself I've used 430 kWh less gas than last year, and 62 kWh more of electricity. Gas would have to be 7+ times cheaper to end up with similar cost.
When I had my anual boiler service I've asked a guy how does more common cycles impact life span of a boiler as I've told him that when heating only one room last year I've noticed that is is more often for boiler to cycle - he said that it is like with most devices and it will end its life faster and will need replacing or fixing sooner.
So to compare few thousand £ price of changing boiler faster than in recommended and designed type of use(central heating - whole house) vs getting another electric heater for fraction of such cost once it will break - I am staying with what I am doing now unless there will be different ratio of gas vs electricity.
Obviously - each house and situation is different. But I wouldn't just put such statement like you as it is not true for everyone and it is not taking everything into consideration. (edited)
Got to love the marketing
Low energy electric heater is on the same level as waterless water, non slip oil grease
Low energy = underpowered rubbish.
1500W as half what most of the cheapest heaters produce (edited)
Integrates well with my Govee hygrometers and controllable through the app.
Tempted to get another at this price.
Actual efficiency or at least less wasted energy comes from things like more advanced thermostat, open window detection etc.
Basically something that when set to 20 degrees dials back before and does not overshoot 20 as that's heat your paying for you did not ask for.
No idea how this performs in that regard.

If you have gas heating usa that instead as its substantially cheaper than this.
If you don't have gas, get an aircon or heatpump instead
