Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Fan heaters are extremely popular with customers due to their low cost, compared to other climatic devices, and quick heating of indoor air. Our experts have prepared a rating of such heaters, which will help you see the pros and cons of the best-selling models based on their characteristics and owner reviews. With such knowledge, it will be possible to make an informed choice without being led by advertising.

How to choose a fan heater

When choosing a fan heater, you need to pay attention to a number of key parameters:

1. Heating element type. The cheapest is a nichrome spiral. Heats up to 1000 degrees, but dries the air and burns the dust that has settled on it. A tube with a graphite rod and quartz sand as a filler heats up to 500 degrees and lasts longer due to an even heat distribution. The most expensive type is a ceramic panel. It heats up to only 150 degrees, but quickly gives off heat to the room due to the increased area. Does not burn dust and is much safer than other types.
2. Power. Varies from 1 to 10 kW, depending on the purpose (domestic or industrial). When choosing, you need to take into account the area of ​​the heated room – with ceilings of 250-270 cm, 1 kW is required for every 10 m2. But it is better to take with a small margin, because there will be heat loss on windows, doors, as well as other factors that affect the initial temperature in the room.
3. Fan type and material. This is the second most important element in the design of the heater. Models made of plastic are cheaper, and models made of metal are more expensive, but they tolerate being near the heater better and do not deform. Axial fan types are compact but noisier. Tangential ones are quieter, but take up more space, which leads to an increase in the size of the case.
4. Control method. The simplest is mechanical. There is a thermostat that limits heating of the heating element and an adjustable fan speed. The electronic type of control works with increased accuracy, maintaining the set temperature and storing the entered settings in memory.
5. Additional functions. Depending on the equipment, the climate technology is equipped with additional functions that increase comfort and safety. Among them there is the possibility of self-rotation of the case, contributing to a better distribution of hot air, anti-freezing, a humidifier, an inlet filter, a remote control, shutdown in case of a fall and overheating, etc.

The heating element consumes at a maximum of 2 kW, which is enough even for a spacious room of 20 m2. The thermostat can be turned to a certain position and the device will automatically turn off and on to maintain the mode. But to run the cooler in hot weather separately from the heater will not work.

We ranked the fan heater as the best for the bathroom. It can be mounted on the wall opposite the shower stall and ensure good heating of the room while taking water procedures.

Apart from numerous functions, one of the advantages of this fan heater is its compactness. The dimensions of the case are 50x19x13 cm less than similar models by 10-20 cm.
