Our expert guide to buying a heaterĮlectric heaters aren't the most energy-efficient way to heat up your home, but they're still an effective solution to quickly take the chill out of a cold room. You can find a safe heater that performs well and won't break the bank in our full electric heater review. We've listed all the heaters that failed our safety tests so you can avoid them. A power cord that's not securely attached could result in various electrical faults, which could cause damage or even fire. Specifically, it failed the 'cord anchorage' test – which assesses how securely the cord is attached to the heater. This heater's terrible heating performance should be enough to put you off buying it, but that's actually not the worst thing about it: it failed our safety tests, so could be a danger to your family and your home.
