Conclusion
Summing up, it can be noted that in the proposed rating, as in the market as a whole, there is a large number convector heaters. On the one hand, they have a number of advantages in comparison with their competitors operating on a different principle. The high-quality convector is silent, safe, the possibility of getting burns is almost excluded. You can also note the durability in use, models from proven and proven brands can work more than one year.
A clear advantage of convector-type heaters is the rapid heat release, it begins almost instantly, immediately after heating the heating element. Unfortunately, the speed of the convector is also its weak side, it is worth turning the device off, as it will become cold in the room, and quite quickly: not all models have the “fireplace” effect.
Besides electrical, there are also gas and water convectors.
