Bear in mind that Dimplex recommend a clearance space of 23cm on each side of the heater, and 60cm at the top, so ideally your wall, if fitting it to a wall and not leaving it free-standing, would be greater than 128cm long. They tend to be cheap to run, but some can be really slow to heat up. Most oil-filled heaters are also fairly heavy and cumbersome, so look out for models that come with wheels. So let’s carry on with our Glen 500W Wall Mounted or Freestanding Skirt Heater review and explore the product’s pricing.
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:
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.
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. More information on quality can be found in this old but still very helpful article from Harvard Business Review. Convector heaters are usually taller than fan heaters, but thin and light – making them larger, but still relatively easy to move between rooms. Of the 55 products, we discovered that 28 were more expensive and 23 were cheaper than Glen 500W Wall Mounted or Freestanding Skirt Heater. Prices from GlenThe next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the Heaters and radiators category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from Glen. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for Glen branded products in the Heaters and radiators category. Next up is material. Read through the product description for Glen 500W Wall Mounted or Freestanding Skirt Heater to get an understanding of the materials the product is made from. Some materials will obviously be known for delivering better quality item than others. You might also have decided that you’ll only accept a product made from a particular material. 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.
We set up each heater in the centre of our test room and run it on the maximum settings, with the room starting at a cool temperature. We monitor how much the room temperature changed over the course of an hour using temperature probes. We found the most drastic changes happen in the first half an hour and increases in temperature become more incremental after that.These can still be bought, but they aren't as popular or widely available as fan or convector heaters. We use a force meter to record how much is needed to topple each heater over and a decibel meter to measure how much noise each one makes while running. This funky looking skirting heater is made by Glen Dimplex or just ‘Dimplex’ as the brand is better known. The next step after looking at products in the same category, was to look at products from the same brand, Glen.
