quiet portable heater

[bludger]

we have a 3kw Dimplex fan heater for occasional use. It's very good except for the noise it makes at any setting. Anyone know of a quiet, small heater?

A 2kw heater would do. But it must be easily portable for a frail lady.

does it need to be fan assisted?

PBofD,

No, it can be any sort of heater. She really only uses it when she feels cold, like before the room has warmed her up. The Dimplex is fine except she can't hear the TV over the noise.

You can look at the oiled filled ones they vary in output, will be a little more in weight though but no noise.

Good idea. Many thanks for your responses.

How about a duvet, or a thick jumper - I never found a noisy one

I got some oil filled electric rads In Wickes. Some have timers as well as thermostats. They give a constant modest heat but don't get hot enough to burn you, I think they vary from 500W to 2400W. You are not supposed to drape towels and things over them, but if you did I expect the thermostat would cut out before they got excessively hot, in which case they would be safer than most panel heaters.

I was lucky enough to get mine in the summer clearance sale for £4.30 each
