Do you rely on "shivering" to keep warm in winter? 5 heater reviews to keep you warm in winter~

Winter in the north: witnessing the first snow vs. Winter in the south: feeling the temperature drop

As a person from Northeast China currently living in Hangzhou, what I cannot do without most in winter is "all kinds" of heating equipment. As the saying goes: If there are no conditions, you have to create them!

Who doesn’t want to sit at home with a cup of hot tea, and pet the cat in the warmth of winter?

In order to improve everyone's winter happiness, we have tested 4 different types of heaters for you, so that you can buy with peace of mind and use them comfortably -

We turned on each heater at the maximum setting for 1 hour in a 15㎡ sealed room to test the temperature and humidity changes in the room, as well as the power consumption within 1 hour.

Which one is warmer and more energy-efficient? The test results are as follows:

Oil-filled radiators are also known as "electric heaters". As the name suggests, they work on the same principle as radiators used in northern households, except that one heats oil and the other heats water.

After the oil heater is heated, the temperature of the metal sheet rises and is heated by convection with the surrounding air in the room, thus achieving the purpose of heating.

Although the oil heater is expensive, the power consumption per hour is only 1.2 degrees. The ambient temperature and humidity change moderately, which is more suitable for use in the bedroom during sleep.

Usually when you buy an oil heater, you will be given a top rack for free. In the southern winter, it can not only be used to dry clothes, but also increase the indoor air humidity, killing two birds with one stone.

The heating principle of the skirting board is similar to that of a "hot air balloon". The built-in heating tube is connected in series with the metal heat conductor. After heating, the heat flows out to the upper heat dissipation holes, forming air convection and gradually heating the indoor air.

The price of skirting boards is moderate, they heat up quickly, and the waterproof type can be used in the bathroom; but they consume a lot of electricity and the indoor humidity drops quickly, so they are suitable for larger spaces such as living rooms.

In addition, when the skirting board is working, the temperature near the air outlet and the side metal wall is very high, so be careful not to touch or move it with your hands.

The heat source of the small sun is a quartz heating tube or electric heating wire, which generates heat and infrared rays when heating, and then uses a reflective cover to emit the heat and infrared rays, which can not only provide warmth but also prevent eyes from being harmed by looking directly at infrared rays.

The advantage of the small sun is that the local temperature rises quickly, and you can feel the sun bathing in a few seconds after turning it on. However, it does not significantly increase the indoor temperature, so it is a good choice for friends who want local heating.

But at the same time, we should also pay attention that the heating time should not be too long, and children should not look directly at the reflector for a long time, especially children, parents should remind them more often!

The heating principle of the heater is similar to that of a hair dryer, which allows the fan to blow wildly at the built-in heating element to achieve the heating effect, so the temperature of the air outlet is relatively high.

Overall, the heater has little effect on changes in ambient temperature and humidity, and is more suitable for local heating; at the same time, its disadvantages are also obvious. The fan generates a lot of noise when working, so those who mind this should choose carefully.

The large heater also has a cooling function and can be used as a fan in summer, so its utilization rate is relatively high. The small heater can be placed on the desktop in winter and used when studying or working.

Finally, we have summarized the "Heater Purchase Comparison Table" for everyone, please check it out~
