Where this leaves you Two hundred and fifty watts at 2.08 amps, IP44 splash proof, in calcium silicate with a three-year warranty. It is the only heater on this shelf that can go in a bathroom and the only one that will not trouble a circuit.
IP44 and a twelve-inch water clearance. Nothing else here publishes an ingress rating, which means nothing else here should go in a bathroom.
That single line is what this panel is for, and the 250 watts follows from it: a bathroom is small and the heater has to be safe before it has to be powerful.
Two amps, and what that buys
Every 1,500-watt heater on this shelf draws around twelve and a half amps, which is most of a household circuit. This one draws two.
It can hang in a room that already has a kettle and a hairdryer on the same breaker, and that is a practical advantage no wattage figure conveys.

The good and the less good
Strengths
The only heater on this shelf with an ingress rating — IP44 — and a stated water clearance, which is what a bathroom needs
Two point zero eight amps: it will run on almost any circuit, where every 1,500 W heater here needs most of one
Fanless, paintable, hard-wireable and warranted three years
Compromises
Two hundred and fifty watts is the lowest output on this shelf by a wide margin — a sixth of the 1,500 W panels here
The casing is warm to the touch and the maker says it is safe for adults only
No heat reflector mentioned, which this maker includes with its 600 W panel on this shelf
Specifications
Power
250 W, 120 V, 2.08 A
Room size
100 sq ft in the listing body; up to 120 sq ft in the title
For a bathroom or a 100-square-foot office it takes the chill off and holds a temperature; it will not warm a cold room quickly. The trade is the running cost and the circuit: at 2.08 amps it can share an outlet with everything else in the room, which no 1,500 W heater on this shelf can.
Can it really go in a bathroom?
IP44 covers splashing, and the maker specifies twelve inches away from water. It is the only heater on this shelf with any ingress rating at all — the others are indoor-dry products and two of them are greenhouse units with IPX4 on a different shelf of this site.
Why calcium silicate?
It is a mineral board that stores and radiates heat and does not crack with thermal cycling — the listing calls this the crack-resistant updated version. It is the only material named anywhere on this shelf.

A wall-mounted 1,000 W electric radiator built around a ceramic dry-inertia core — Bestherm states it keeps diffusing stored heat after the element switches off, unlike a plain convector. Programming runs through a touch LCD screen with 3 pre-loaded weekly programs plus 1 custom program, and the unit supports France's 6-order Fil Pilote wired protocol. Bestherm also states a window-open detector, child lock, overheat protection, and a 2-year warranty with France-based support.
Best for: A single room around 10 m (33 ft)² where scheduled inertia heat is worth the step up from a plain convector — especially if your home already has French Fil Pilote wiring to plug it into.
2,000 W · 3 heat settings · natural convection, no fan
A basic 2,000 W electric convector with three heat settings — 750 W, 1,250 W, and a 2,000 W 'Turbo' stage — controlled by an adjustable thermostat dial. Alpina describes pure natural convection with no fan, rates it for rooms up to 15 m (49 ft)², and states overheat protection. It's the cheapest heater in this family, but one of the four markets we checked shows a data problem worth knowing about before you buy.
Best for: The cheapest way into this family — a small room, workshop, or occasional-use space where basic convection heat at low upfront cost matters more than programming or thermal inertia.
