In this ranking, I have collected the 20 best heaters for 2022. Only the best heaters from different price ranges got into my TOP – from 1 to 12 thousand rubles. For convenience, I divided the rating into 4 categories according to the type of heating: convectors, infrared, oil, fan heaters. When selecting models, I paid attention to such characteristics as power, dimensions, operating modes, heating area, security features. And in order to be as objective as possible and identify the pros and cons of each model, I studied customer reviews and expert reviews.

Table of participants in the rating of heaters for home and summer cottages in 2022

What are heaters for home use?

Today we will consider only 4 of the most basic types of heater:

1. fan heaters;
2. oil heaters;
3. convectors;
4. infrared heaters.

They differ from each other in appearance, device and method of heating the room. Each type of device has its own distinctive characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. All this, as well as the rating of the best models, we will definitely consider in our review, and will be able to figure out – what are they – the best heaters for the home?

Convectors – quiet and discreet

The principle of operation of this type of heaters is based on a common physical phenomenon. A brief excursion into the school physics course – convection is a phenomenon due to which hot heated air rises up under the ceiling of the room, and cooled or cold air remains below, near the floor. Inside the device is a powerful heating element, usually made of ceramics. Such a device heats the air, and it rises, and the cooled air gently settles down, where it is again heated by a floor convector. As you understand, convectors are absolutely silent, except for those models that are equipped with a fan. It is convenient when the convector is provided with an accurate temperature controller – this way you can set the preferred operating parameters of the device yourself.

Pros:

• quiet work;
• heating efficiency;
• compactness;
• attractive design;
• availability;
• profitability;
• ease of handling.

Flaws:

• dries the air
• heats the room locally;
• works best in small spaces.

Let’s find out which heater is better to choose among various convectors. TOP 5 best devices.

Noirot Spot E-5 Plus 1500

Let’s start with the rather expensive Noirot Spot E-5 Plus 1500. This is a convector 1500 W for space heating 15–20 m². It is quite compact in size – only 52x8x44 cm, and has a low weight – 4.7 kg. The convector is made in a laconic design with rounded edges, which ensures safety during operation. It can be wall mounted, for which special fasteners are provided, or installed on legs with wheels for convenient placement in any part of the room, but they must be purchased separately. On the top of the device there are control buttons and a display on which the selected air temperature readings are displayed. The model is equipped with a thermostat, which ensures the accuracy of regulation and maintenance of temperature conditions up to 0.1 °C and energy savings, including due to low consumption in standby mode.

In the event of a temporary power outage, the device continues to operate in the same mode thanks to the auto-restart option. It is also resistant to power surges. Can work in 4 modesincluding economical and automatic (when the device works constantly to maintain the set temperature in the room, turning on and off as necessary). Of the security options, it is worth highlighting the automatic shutdown in case of danger of overheating and a waterproof casewhich is typical of almost all modern models. But due to the high level of moisture protection (IP 24), the convector can be installed even in the bathroom, because it is not afraid of splashes. ToThe body of the device does not heat up above 60 °C, so the risk of burns is minimized.

. This model of the French manufacturer is characterized by high reliability, safety, automation and accuracy of maintaining the temperature, taking into account the specified parameters. Equipped with convenient electronic control and display, although, of course, it costs almost 2 times more than other models in the rating. 98% of users recommend the model for purchase.

RESANTA OK-2000

On the fourth step of the RESANT OK-2000 top. Model with a power of 2000 W, designed for space heating up to 25 m².

The model is controlled by two regulators located on the side of the case. They allow you to turn on the device and set the intensity of heating. The model is equipped with a thermostat, which turns off work when there is a threat of overheating and turns it on when the air temperature drops, but it is not designed to accurately maintain the set temperature, like the first model. The body of the device is protected from moisture.

The price is 5,500 rubles. Compared to the first model, it has more power and is suitable for larger areas. But this is a simpler model with a minimal set of features: it is not equipped with a display, does not allow you to accurately set the air temperature and has only one mode of operation, although with the ability to adjust the intensity of heating. 90% of users recommend the model for purchase.

Ballu Enzo BEC/EZER-1500

The control panel consists of touch buttons and a display, it is placed on the top of the case. In this model, the manufacturer used a new technology in mounting the Thermoresist compact heating element.innovative system of uniform convection Homogeneous flow and large air intake Intake. All this, combined with the new generation Double G Force monolithic heating element, ensures the speed and efficiency of heating and the durability of the device.

Separately, it is worth noting the special coating of the back cover Anti Dirtpreventing accumulation of dust. The device can be mounted on a wall or installed on a wheeled chassis that comes with the kit. In case of a strong inclination or fall of the convector, it turns off for safety.. Of the additional security options, it is worth highlighting the presence of a protective lock of the control panel from accidental switching by children. Like previous models, has a waterproof case.

Accurate digital thermostat allows you to adjust the heating, choosing from 6 temperature settings – from 18 to 28 °С. And with the help of a timer, you can choose the operating time – 1-5 hours. The app has a timer up to 24 hours.

An exclusive feature of the convector is the presence of a drying shelf. It is a metal strip, which in the usual position is placed vertically. If it is necessary to dry things, it must be pulled out so that things are located opposite the convection holes. So the manufacturer solved the problem of users who, despite strict warnings not to dry things on heaters, still prefer to do so. The drying shelf can withstand weight up to 1.5 kg. Drop protection for safety. This model stands out from the background of others and the lack of wheels on the legs, as well as the lack of the possibility of wall mounting.

. In comparison with the models described in the rating, it stands out for the presence of remote control and monitoring the status of the device through the application, the presence of a drying shelf and a timer. It is second only to the lack of wheels, which seem to many to be a very convenient option. 95% of users recommend the model for purchase.

Infrared heaters – domestic sun

Infrared heaters have come into use recently. Like everything new and completely misunderstood, infrared heaters are often condemned for their negative impact on the human body. However, it’s not like that at all. The principle of operation of this type of heater, although different from all previous types of device, is still nothing revolutionary. In fact, buying such a heater at home, you are buying a small technical sun. Like the sun, the device creates streams of heat rays that are absorbed by various objects in the room. Then, these objects themselves begin to give off heat rays to the surrounding space. Everything is simple!

Device features:

• the lowest power consumption;
• absolute noiselessness;
• reliability;
• fast heating;
• does not burn oxygen in the room.

Flaws:

• heating is mostly local;
