Big fan of this fan heater
Bought to heat up garden office during a recent cold spell. Does a great job , quick + has a thermostat and auto switch off if tipped over.

It's a fan
I'm a fan of this fan! When you turn it on it heats up. How cool is that? Well actually that's not technically cool because it does heat up. But it can blow cool as well. So in essence it blows hot and cold.

Hi there,

Thanks for using Q&A
Hello James. This heater is not designed to work with a plug timer and must be connected to normal mains only. Thank you for using Argos Q&A.
Please see the snippet from instruction manual -
Risk of fire – Do not use this appliance
connected through an extension lead or any external
switching device such as a plug in timer or remote
control plug in adaptor. All heating appliances draw
high current through the mains supply and any
weakness in the design, connections or components
in these devices can easily result in overheating of
the connection points resulting in melting, distortion
and even the risk of fire.
Hi,
I can confirm that the 3kW Rugged Fan Heater cannot be plugged into an extension lead.
Thank you for using Q&A
Good afternoon FED, Thank you for your question. Whilst the product has a large heat output we would be unable to estimate if it is able to adequately heat the required area space without further inspection of the structure. Thank you for using Argos Q&A.
Hi Sooooooo,
This has not been designed for this purpose and therefore we are unable to recommend that it is used in this way.
Thank you for using Q&A.
