I've ordered one of the Russell Hobbs off ebay - I'll report when it arrives.
Just arrived.
For only 2kW it seems to be belting out a fair bit of heat. Of course, 2kW is 2kW but if it pumps the air out at a higher than usual temperature it will feel like more heat even though it is the same 2kW as every other heater.
Noise: Nothing special. A lowish tone, lowish speed so I can live with it.
Safety: no cut off it it's knocked over, maybe that is why it's now discontinued. However it is quite square to pretty stable.
Two power settings: 3.5A and 11A which is useful for hookup.
Bottom line: Nothing special.
