10 Best Portable Heaters UK 2024 | De'Longhi, Dyson and More

Heating up to full capacity within 60 seconds, this heater from Duronic will have you, and your room cosy in no time. Our favourite part of the design is the inclusion of mica panels. This protects against electric shocks and electrical fires, as well as keeping the heater cool to the touch, preventing any accidental burns. Genius! 

The device has two thermostat settings, 1000 W and 2000 W to attain your perfect room temperature. If that wasn't enough, it even has a cable tie and wheels, despite already being light enough for effortless transportation. 

Our no. 2 is a remarkably well-built portable heater that provides rapid heat, far faster than your average oil-filled model. It also has an easy-to-use LED display, as well as advanced functions that can help you save power consumption by up to 25%.

Furthermore, it has all the necessary safety features, alongside three thermostat settings and a day and night timer. Best of all, it really looks the part, with a contemporary and almost space-age design. 

With its retro design, this is one of the more aesthetically pleasing options on our list. Fortunately, it's more than just a pretty package. This heater kicks out a very respectable 1800 W of power, which is impressive when you consider its small size.

On top of that, it has a very stylish loop handle on top that allows for safe and easy transportation from room to room, as well as an overheating cut off function to save from, well, overheating. 

If you're working on a tight budget, then this offering from Donyer Power will be right up your street. At an affordable price, you'll get a convector heater that will kick out a massive 2000 W of power fast, providing you have both thermostats cranked all the way up.

It's pretty basic in terms of design and materials, but it will certainly get the job done. This heater really is ideal for those looking for a quick fix, or a top-up in a specifically cold part of the home. 

If Derek that sits two seats down from you in the office can be a bit of a heating grouch, then picking up a personal portable heater could be the perfect solution for everyone. We think this mini heater from Pro Breeze ticks all the right boxes. 

Firstly, it is a ceramic fan heater, which heats up much quicker and more efficiently than metal options. Additionally, it has ample safety functions and a pretty cool design too, pretty neat for a mini heater.

This offering from VonHaus is pretty much the archetypal oil-filled heater. It comes on four wheels to balance the heavier weight (about 6 kg) as well as featuring an integrated cable tidy for storage. The heater has three thermostat settings, 600, 900 or 1500 W, as well as a heat control for each.

Unfortunately, none of the heat settings are really capable of warming an entire room. So even though it's large, this heater is probably best served as a personal heating device for a small home office or a similar-sized space.

Looking more like a flat-screen TV than a heater, this stylish piece of kit is certainly one for those that care about the appearance of all their appliances. The modern heating device has touch panel controls and remote control, as well as the option to mount it on your wall. 

Unfortunately, some have found that the heater can be a bit tricky to use, which isn't helped by the confusing instructions. Further, it doesn't have any safety functions, which may be worth remembering if this is going in a home with anyone other than reliable adults.  

Diplex is a brand that's known for offering high performance at affordable prices, and the DXUC2B model is a perfect example of exactly that. This heater punches well above its tiny 26 x 18.5 cm size, with a very respectable 2000 W power output and two anti-overheating safety features.

You'll also benefit from other functions, such as the cool air option and anti-frost. The shape is a little unusual, so we're sure the aesthetics will split opinions, also it isn't exactly the quietest heater out there. 

Small and compact, this curved portable radiator from De'Longhi is ideal when you want a blast of heat fast. It comes with two handy especially functions, an anti-frost feature that automatically turns on if the room drops below 5°C, and a safety cut-off to prevent overheating. 

This heater also has some nice large carry handles, so you don't have to worry about burning your paws. Of course, due to the power output and the heater type, it has some limitations. 

Quite possibly the most elite heater in the world, the Dyson Hot+Cool™ Purifying Fan Heater is a stunning piece of engineering. It heats in winter, cools in summer, can alert you to allergens and pollutants in the air, and projects a mammoth 290 L of air per second into your room. 

However, we imagine that most people won't be keen to spend this much on a humble portable heater, hence why it's propping up the list. Still, if you have the money, and want the latest tech, then you'd be hard-pressed to find anything as advanced as this.
