A portable 2kW electric fan heater with a dual position design that works flat on a floor or desktop surface, or upright on a desk, shelf, or worktop. Two heat settings, dial thermostatic control, and overheat protection in a compact white curved body for domestic and light commercial office use.
Why the flat or upright design makes a practical difference
A standard fan heater is designed for one position. Stand it upright on the floor and it heats the area directly in front of it at floor level. That works in a room with space to spare, but in a small office, under a desk, or on a low shelf, there is often not enough clearance for an upright unit. Laying a standard heater on its side is not safe. The flat and upright design solves this by building a stable, tested operating position into both orientations. Flat on a desk it blows warm air across the working surface. Upright on the floor it operates as a conventional fan heater. The same unit covers both without compromise or safety risk.
Key Features
-
Flat or upright dual position: Designed and tested for use in both a flat horizontal position and an upright vertical position. Use it flat on a desk or shelf to heat the working surface, or upright on the floor as a conventional portable heater.
-
Two heat settings with thermostat: Two power levels allow heat output to be matched to the size of the space. The dial thermostat maintains the selected temperature automatically, cycling the element on and off to avoid overheating the room.
-
Overheat protection: Built-in overheat protection cuts the heater if the internal temperature exceeds a safe level, reducing fire risk in unattended use or where airflow is restricted.
-
Compact and lightweight: The curved white body is compact enough for a desktop, lightweight enough for easy repositioning between rooms, and designed to sit neatly in an office or domestic setting without visual intrusion.

Who Is This For
This heater is used by office workers, home workers, and facilities managers who need a portable 2kW fan heater that can be positioned flat on a desk, shelf, or windowsill, or stand upright on the floor, depending on the available space. It suits small offices where a full-size upright heater takes up too much floor space, reception areas where the heater needs to sit flat on a counter, and welfare cabins or site offices where a compact lightweight unit is easier to move between rooms than a larger heater.
Typical Applications
-
Flat on a desk or shelf in a small office or home study, heating the working area without taking up floor space or obstructing the working surface.
-
Upright on the floor in an office, reception area, or welfare cabin as a conventional portable fan heater aimed at the occupied zone.
-
Under a desk in a low-clearance position where an upright unit would not fit, using the flat orientation to deliver heat to the floor level of the working area.
-
Light commercial spaces such as retail counters, reception desks, and small back-office areas where a clean white design and compact footprint are practical requirements.
-
Site welfare accommodation where a lightweight portable heater is needed that can be moved from room to room without difficulty.
How to Use
Step 1: Choose the operating position. For flat desktop or shelf use, lay the heater on its base with the outlet facing the area to be heated. For upright floor use, stand it on its base with the outlet facing the room.
Step 2: Connect to a suitable 240V mains supply. Keep the power cord away from foot traffic and clear of the heater outlet.
Step 3: Set the mode selector to the desired heat setting. Two settings allow heat output to be matched to the size of the space.
Step 4: Set the thermostat dial to the required temperature level. The thermostat maintains that level automatically by cycling the element on and off.
Step 5: Switch off and disconnect from the mains when leaving the room for an extended period. Do not leave unattended in an occupied room with children or vulnerable people without supervision.
Common Mistakes
-
Blocking the air intake or outlet: the heater draws air in through one face and blows heated air out through the other. Do not position it against a wall, in a corner, or under shelving so tightly that airflow is restricted. Restricted airflow triggers the overheat cut-out.
-
Placing on a surface where it can tip: in the upright position on a flat surface the heater is stable, but on an uneven or cluttered desk it may tip. Use the flat position on any surface where stability is a concern.
-
Using near water: this heater is for dry indoor use only. Do not use in bathrooms, kitchens near sinks, or any environment where water, steam, or condensation is present.
-
Leaving running unattended for long periods: the thermostat and overheat protection reduce risk, but any electric heater left running in an unoccupied room represents an unnecessary risk. Switch off when the room is vacated.
Safety
This heater is for indoor dry use only. Keep a minimum of 1 metre clearance between the air outlet and any curtains, upholstery, or combustible materials. Do not cover the heater or place any object on top of it during use. Do not use in bathrooms or near water. Do not use near flammable liquids, gases, or materials. The overheat protection cuts power automatically if the heater exceeds safe operating temperature, but this does not substitute for responsible use. Allow the heater to cool before packing away or repositioning. Keep children and pets away from the outlet during operation.
Maintenance
Clean the body with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Keep the inlet and outlet grilles clear of dust and fluff. Dust build-up on the heating element is the primary cause of reduced performance and overheating. Allow the heater to cool fully and disconnect before cleaning the grilles. Do not attempt to open or service the internal components. Store in a clean, dry location when not in use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this heater genuinely be used lying flat on a desk or shelf?
A: Yes. The dual position design is built and tested for both flat horizontal and upright vertical use. In the flat position, the outlet faces in the appropriate direction for the position and the heater's thermal management is designed to operate safely without the additional natural convection that an upright position provides. Do not attempt to lay a standard upright fan heater on its side as it is not designed for that orientation.
Q: What are the two heat settings?
A: The mode selector switches between two heat output levels. The lower setting suits smaller or already partially warmed spaces where less heat is needed to maintain a comfortable temperature. The higher setting brings a cold room up to temperature more quickly. Both settings work alongside the dial thermostat, which cycles the selected heat level on and off to maintain the target temperature once it is reached.
Q: How does the thermostat work?
A: Turn the thermostat dial clockwise to increase the target temperature and anticlockwise to reduce it. Once the room reaches the set level, the thermostat cuts the heating element off. When the temperature drops below that level, the element switches back on. The fan continues to run throughout, circulating air even when the element is off.
Q: What does the overheat protection do?
A: If the heater's internal temperature exceeds a safe operating level, typically caused by blocked airflow, the overheat protection cuts power to the element automatically. If this happens, switch off at the mains, allow the heater to cool, check that the inlet and outlet are not obstructed, and restart.
