A slimline 2kW portable fan heater with three heat settings, adjustable thermostat, tip-over protection, overheat protection, and an integrated carry handle, for domestic and light commercial use. At 11.5cm deep, it sits neatly against a wall, under a desk, or in a corner without the footprint of a standard fan heater body.
Why three heat settings make a practical difference
A two-setting fan heater gives you low and high. In a small or already partially warmed room, low is often not quite enough and high is too much. You end up switching it on and off manually to avoid overheating the space, which wastes energy and is ineffective at maintaining a steady temperature. Three settings add a genuine intermediate level that suits rooms at partial temperature, the kind of level the thermostat can maintain efficiently without the element cycling hard between extremes. In practice, the middle setting does most of the work on a typical day, with the high setting reserved for first start-up on a cold morning.
Key Features
-
Three heat settings: Low, medium, and high output levels give more precise control over room temperature than a standard two-setting fan heater. Use low or medium to maintain a comfortable level once the room is up to temperature, reserving high for rapid warm-up from cold.
-
Adjustable thermostat: The dial thermostat maintains the set temperature automatically, cycling the element on and off to hold the room at the selected level without manual intervention.
-
Tip-over protection: The heater cuts power automatically if knocked or tipped over, reducing fire risk in busy domestic or commercial environments where accidental contact is possible.
-
Overheat protection: A separate thermal cut-out cuts power if internal temperature exceeds a safe operating level, providing a second line of protection against failure due to restricted airflow or blockage.
-
Slimline body, 11.5cm depth: At 11.5cm deep, this heater sits flat against a skirting board or under a desk without projecting significantly into the room. The footprint is noticeably smaller than standard fan heaters in this output class.
-
Integrated carry handle: A moulded carry handle built into the top of the body makes it easy to move between rooms without needing to grip the body itself.

Who Is This For
This heater is used by domestic users, home workers, and facilities managers in offices and light commercial premises who need a portable 2kW fan heater that can be carried between rooms, positioned in tight spaces due to its 11.5cm slimline depth, and left to maintain a set temperature automatically via the thermostat. The tip-over protection makes it a practical choice for environments with foot traffic, children, or pets where accidental contact is a realistic risk.
Typical Applications
-
Freestanding floor use in domestic living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a slim profile against the skirting board minimises the footprint in the room.
-
Office and commercial reception environments where the slimline body sits neatly alongside a desk or in a corner without obstructing walkways.
-
Site welfare cabins and temporary accommodation where a portable 2kW heater needs to be carried between rooms and stored compactly.
-
Domestic or commercial spaces that are partially warmed by central heating but need supplementary heat in specific rooms or zones.
How to Use
Step 1: Place the heater on a firm, level surface with the outlet facing the area to be heated. The sturdy base keeps the unit stable on both hard floors and carpet. Keep flammable materials at least 1 metre from the outlet.
Step 2: Connect to a 240V mains supply. Do not use with a damaged cable or plug.
Step 3: Set the mode selector to the desired heat setting. Start on high to bring the room up to temperature quickly, then reduce to middle or low once comfortable.
Step 4: Set the thermostat dial to the required level. Once the room reaches that temperature the thermostat cycles the element on and off automatically to maintain it.
Step 5: Switch off and unplug when leaving the room for an extended period. Use the integrated carry handle to move the heater between rooms.
Common Mistakes
-
Setting all three levels to maximum continuously: once a room is up to temperature, running on high wastes energy and the thermostat cycles the element off immediately. Switch to medium or low and let the thermostat hold the level more efficiently.
-
Placing too close to furniture or curtains: the outlet blows hot air forward and the base draws cool air from behind and below. Position with at least 1 metre clearance in front and enough space at the rear for air to circulate freely.
-
Using in a bathroom or near water: this heater is for dry indoor environments only. Do not use near sinks, showers, or any area where steam or moisture is present.
-
Leaving the heater on in an unoccupied room: the thermostat and safety features reduce risk but do not substitute for switching off when a room is empty for any extended period.
Safety
For dry indoor use only. Maintain a minimum 1 metre clearance between the outlet and any curtains, upholstery, or combustible materials. Do not cover the heater during use. The tip-over protection cuts power if the unit is knocked over, stand it back up and restart once it has cooled. The overheat protection cuts power if airflow is restricted, check the inlet and outlet are clear before restarting. Keep children and pets away from the outlet during operation. Do not use with a damaged cable or plug. Switch off and disconnect from the mains before moving or when not in use.
Maintenance
Wipe the body with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents. Keep the inlet grille at the rear and the outlet grille at the front clear of dust and fluff. Dust on the heating element is the primary cause of reduced performance and overheat cut-out activation. Allow the heater to cool and disconnect from the mains 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: What do the three heat settings actually give me over a standard two-setting fan heater?
A: A two-setting fan heater gives you low and high, which works well in a cold room from a standing start but gives limited control once the room is partially warm. The middle setting on this heater fills the gap, it is the level most suited to maintaining a comfortable temperature in a room that is already approaching the target, where low is not quite enough and high cycles off almost immediately. In practice the middle setting is the one most people use for the majority of the day.
Q: How does the tip-over protection work?
A: If the heater is knocked over or falls, a tip-switch inside the base cuts power to the element automatically. The fan may continue briefly. To restart, stand the heater upright and allow it to cool before switching back on. The tip-over protection is a safety feature, not a substitute for positioning the heater on a stable surface away from foot traffic.
Q: How does the thermostat maintain the room temperature?
A: Turn the thermostat dial clockwise to increase the target level and anticlockwise to reduce it. Once the room reaches the set level the thermostat cuts the heating element off. When the temperature drops, the element switches back on. The fan continues to run throughout, circulating air across the element even when it is not active.
Q: Is this suitable for a bedroom or a room with children?
A: It is suitable for domestic bedroom use when used with care. The tip-over protection and overheat cut-out reduce the risk from accidental contact or restricted airflow. Keep the heater positioned away from bedding, curtains, and furniture. Do not leave it running unattended overnight in a room where children are sleeping.
Q: What is this heater NOT suitable for?
A: This heater is for dry indoor domestic and light commercial use only. It must not be used outdoors, in bathrooms, near water, or in wet or damp environments. It is not rated for industrial or heavy commercial environments. Keep clear of flammable liquids, gases, and materials at all times.
