2000W 9-Fin Oil Heater - Safe for Babies/Seniors | 200 sq ft | Aluminum | Quiet, Energy-Efficient

Overview

Key Features

A 2000W oil heater with 9 fins is a smaller sibling to our 11-fin, 2500W model, which makes it a natural fit for bedrooms, single offices and box rooms rather than larger living spaces. It covers up to roughly 19 square metres, close to 200 square feet, and like any oil-filled radiator, it heats the room by warming sealed oil inside its fins rather than by blowing air across it.

Key Benefits

• Sealed, oil-filled fins that never need topping up
• Runs quietly enough for a bedroom or nursery, with no fan noise
• Three heat settings (800W, 1200W and 2000W) plus an adjustable thermostat
• Tip-over switch and overheat protection built in as standard
• Aluminium construction at around 10kg, moved easily on its own wheels
• Covers rooms up to about 19 square metres, roughly 200 square feet

Performance

This is one of the reasons oil heaters are so often recommended for households with babies, older family members or anyone sensitive to dust and dry air: there is no fan pushing air (and whatever is in it) around the room, and the surface never gets as hot to the touch as a quartz element does. What it will not do is heat a room in seconds. The 9 fins need a few minutes to warm through before you feel the full effect, and that is the honest trade-off against a fan heater's near-instant blast. Once warm, though, the thermostat holds a steady temperature by cycling the element on and off, so the room stays comfortable without the heater running at full power the whole time. Controls are limited to two dials, one for wattage and one for temperature, so there is nothing to learn beyond that.

Why Buy From Us

If you are choosing a heater for a baby's room or an elderly relative, our guide on The Safest Heaters for Babies, Elderly, and Pets covers exactly why oil-filled models like this one are usually the safer choice. If the room you need to heat is larger, or you want heat immediately rather than after a few minutes, our quartz room heaters heat a room faster, though they run less quietly. Pairing this heater with a programmable timer switch lets it start warming the room shortly before you wake up, without needing to leave it running overnight, and a rechargeable light from our tactical flashlights range is worth having nearby for the power interruptions that sometimes come with the cool, rainy season.
