K-Tipp has tested fan heaters: Only one is "very good"

Fan heaters should actually help to heat rooms quickly. Instead, they blow in an uncoordinated manner and are real power guzzlers. Only two models were convincing in the K-Tipp test.
The winners, respectively
The "Salerno" fan heater from Koenig came out on top with an overall score of 5.5. Compared to the other appliances, it has the best heat output and the lowest noise level. It also won the safety check with the best score. So despite longer delivery times, it's worth the wait.
The "Ayce" from Jibo Vintage followed closely in second place, with an overall score of 5.2. The fan heaters "HT 2020" from Primotecq, "Cuby fan heater" from Sonnenkönig, "Simig" from Furber and the "Fan XA fan heater" from Satrap still managed to make it into the sufficient category.
Great differences in heating performance
The test measured how long it takes for the fan heaters to heat a six cubic metre room from 12 to 20 degrees on the highest setting and how well the heat is distributed. The "Salerno" from Koenig heated the room evenly within two minutes. Less efficient models such as the "Stadler Form", which came last with an overall score of 3.5, took up to six minutes. Temperature deviations of up to nine degrees were measured within the room.
Risk of burns
No continuous use
