POSSIBLY OFF TOPIC: Screwfix electric heater.

Hello all.
I've just taken delivery of that heater. It's a 2 KW white convector heater, with switched fan, mechanical thermostat, and 2 heat setting switches (750W, 1250W, 2000W). The thermostat appears to be reasonably sensitive. Overheat protection is by a circuit breaker and a thermal fuse (connected in series). The feet are attached with conventional screws (I'm mentioning this because all the other screws are 3-legged security ones). The smallest screwdriver (I have 4) fits these screws. It has wall attachment fittings. The reason for sending the message, is that I believe this heater to be "very good value for money" at £15.99.

Delivery is not free from Argos, so the delivered price is £20.94 from Argos. Delivery IS free from Screwfix if you spend over £45 Delivery is never free from Argos
So it depends on the circumstances to which is cheaper.

I like both. If you buy the occasional item, Screwfix will send you the latest catalogue (which they update fairly regularly).

Look again: It _is_ £15.99, reduced from £19.99. With timer: £24.99. I also had 2 other items, so the handling charge is not quite so relevent

Actually, you're right. The Argos one is made by "Challenge", and it looks as if it's the same as mine (under a different brand name). It's also the one with a timer (reduced from £24.99). Mine hasn't got a timer (my choice). If I had bought the one with the timer from Screwfix, it would have cost me £24.99 (no reduction in price). There is a limit to the comparisons one can make, and I'm happy enough with my purchase. But it's not the "very good value for money" that I thought it was.
