    has anyone bought one of these. How effective are they at heating an open plan living room ? If you had it on Fri 2-3 hrs per day on eco mode does it use a lot of electricity ….would you recommend it ? Thanks

    Have no experience with the above heater but it can't change the laws of physics, as Scotty used to say.

    All electric heaters are 100% efficient. They use one KW of energy and put out one KW of energy /heat. Fan heater, electric rad etc are all the same. None more efficient than another. The ones that will heat a room quicker or warmer will use more KW than the ones that don't preform as well.

    Using Eco mode means it uses less KW & therefore produces less KW energy /heat.

    The secret of having warm rooms in the winter is properly sizing your rads or electric heating for the size of the room. Insulation reduces the size of rads /heaters required.

    You are probably better off buying a cheap one. Putting it in the room & see how it preforms. If it's not big enough then buy a 2nd cheap one.

    The Dyson one will be no cheaper or expensive to run compared to cheaper models using the same amount of KW
