The best Vasner radiant heaters, compared.
Top pick: Mylek MY284858 mica panel Best value: Geepas GQH9106 quartz heater – Score 74 at about £14.99 for a stated 400 W and 800 W bar, the lowest shelf price in this set. Updated October 2026.
A Vasner radiant heater, in the manufacturer’s range, is a flat electric infrared panel, not a three-bar halogen fire. You tell them apart by type, by watts that match the title, by a BS 1363 plug versus bare wires, and by an IP rating written on the listing. At the same watts they use the same electricity as a fan heater. The [Vasner radiant heater buying guide](/hub/portable-heaters/vasner-radiant-heater/sub/vasner-radiant-heater-buying-guide) sets out type, watts, plug, and IP without ranking these seven. Freestanding halogen or quartz covers the at 400 W, 800 W, or 1,200 W, the at 400 W or 800 W, and the at 800 W, with the lower step not stated. Wall quartz shipped without a plug covers the, which states IPX4, and tbron IW 120, which has no IP figure in the file. The panels are the, a 2,000 W mica panel with a stated thermostat and a Wi-Fi app, and the Könighaus, a 600 W wall panel with no thermostat in the box. The English M page describes a metal panel of about 300–1,100 W with IP44.

Question 1 of 2
Do you need a plug-in heater tonight?
The Mylek MY284858 is a 2,000 W grey mica panel, listed at £99.99, that the mounting field says you can fix to a wall or stand on the floor. The listing states a Triac thermostat, a timer, touch controls, and a Tuya Wi-Fi app, which none of the bars in this set state. A bullet claims IPX4 and says a bathroom install should be done by a qualified electrician. Overheat protection is stated. Coverage is given as 18 m². The panel is about 82 cm wide, 43.5 cm high, and 5 kg. The star line is 4.4 from only 36 reviews, so the rating is thin beside bars with hundreds of reviews. No voltage is captured. At the Ofgem Direct Debit rate of 26.32 p/kWh, a full-power hour is about 53p in England, Scotland, and Wales.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A room where you want a thermostat and a timer, and you accept a thin review sample at £99.99.
Less suitable: A shopper who treats 36 reviews as stronger evidence than 2,153, or a bathroom wired without an electrician.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Mylek listing state a thermostat?
Yes. The title and bullets name a Triac thermostat, a timer, and a Tuya Wi-Fi app, plus touch controls on the unit.
Can it be wall mounted or freestanding?
Both. The mounting field says wall mounted or freestanding. Coverage is stated as 18 m². No voltage is captured.
What IP rating is stated?
A bullet says IPX4 and says a bathroom install should be done by a qualified electrician. Overheat protection is stated. The listing has 36 reviews.
The Nedis HTBA10GY is a wall quartz heater at 600 W or 1,200 W, listed at £34.99, and the title states IPX4. It does not come with a plug. The customer note says it ships bare-wired and should be hard-wired to a fused connection, and UK reviews repeat that an electrician was needed. A pull cord selects the two heat levels and off. No timer and no tip-over switch are stated, which fits a fixed wall unit rather than a floor bar. The bullets mention a shower, but the stated rating is IPX4 only, which is splash protection and not a shower stream. It weighs 1.5 kg and is about 56 cm wide. The star line is 4.3 from 434 reviews.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A fixed bathroom or utility wall where an electrician can connect an IPX4 heater the manufacturer allows in that zone.
Less suitable: A renter who needs a plug-in heater tonight, or anyone reading IPX4 as permission to mount it in the shower.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Nedis heater come with a plug?
No. The customer note says it is shipped bare-wired and should be hard-wired to a fused connection. UK reviews repeat that an electrician was needed.
What IP rating is stated?
IPX4, in the title and the bullets. Overheat protection is also stated. No tip-over switch is stated.
How do you change the heat?
A pull cord selects 600 W, 1,200 W, and off. No timer is stated in the bullets.
The SONBION LSG13 is an 800 W freestanding quartz bar at £39.95, with two heat settings and a stated tip-over switch and overheat protection. Across 511 reviews it sits at 4.2, and UK reviews describe it as a quiet local heater. The lower setting has no watt figure, so you only know the top output. No IP rating is stated, and the bullets do not answer a customer question about bathroom use. One UK review describes fabric smoking on the grille, which is a reason to unplug, not a burn-off. The seller line of up to 95 percent of power to heat does not make this 800 W cheaper to run than any other 800 W heater. It is listed at 1.57 kg.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A quiet 800 W bar for one person indoors, if you keep fabric off the grille and accept the price against cheaper bars.
Less suitable: A bathroom, overnight use, or a shopper who wanted 1,200 W for less money.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the SONBION listing state a bathroom rating?
No. A customer question asks about a bathroom and the bullets do not answer it. No IP rating is captured. The place field is indoor.
What are the two heat settings?
The title says 800 W with two heat settings. The lower setting has no watt figure in the file. Tip-over and overheat protection are stated.
Is a thermostat stated?
No. UK reviews describe it as a quiet local heater, and one review describes fabric smoking on the grille.
The Geepas GQH9106 puts 400 W or 800 W of quartz heat on the floor beside you, and at £14.99 it is the cheapest bar in this amazon.co.uk set. Across 323 reviews it sits at 4.2. Reviewers treat it as a personal heater, and they mention flimsy legs and sealed tubes. The listing states a tip-over switch and overheat protection, and it does not state a room thermostat, so it keeps drawing the wattage you chose until you switch it off. Oscillation appears only in the special-features field, not in the bullets, so the swing is not confirmed. Temperature fields are stored as 40 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, which is not a UK thermostat. It weighs about 1 kg.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A short session of personal heat at a desk or chair, if you can live with an 800 W top setting and a light frame.
Less suitable: A bathroom, a room you want left unattended, or anyone who needs oscillation confirmed in the bullets.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Geepas listing state a thermostat?
No room thermostat is described. The bullets give two heat levels, 400 W and 800 W, plus an on/off switch. The temperature fields are in Fahrenheit.
Does it oscillate?
Special features include oscillating. The product bullets do not describe oscillation, so the listing does not agree with itself.
Is an IP rating stated?
No. The file places it indoors, on the floor. UK reviews treat it as a personal heater, and they mention flimsy legs and sealed tubes.
The Warmlite WL42005 is a freestanding halogen heater you step through 400 W, 800 W, and 1,200 W, listed at £21.45. It has the largest review file in this set, 4.1 from 2,153 amazon.co.uk reviews. The listing states 120 degree oscillation, a tip-over switch, and overheat protection, and it does not state a thermostat. A UK review says the safety switch may not depress on carpet, so a thick pile can stop the heater or tempt you to defeat the cut-out. Reviewers also mention glare from the bars. The coverage field says 200 with no unit, so that figure is not a room size. At 1.5 kg you can carry it to another room after it has cooled.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Directional heat for one person, on a hard floor, when you want three watt steps and a stated swing.
Less suitable: High-pile carpet, a bathroom, or a room you need warm while you are out.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Warmlite listing state tip-over protection?
Yes. The title and bullets name a tip-over switch and overheat protection. A UK review says the safety switch may not depress on carpet.
What output does the listing state?
The title and the heat-output field say 1,200 W. The bullets add 400 W and 800 W. No voltage or current is captured.
Is a thermostat stated?
No. Control is the three heat settings and the oscillation described as 120 degrees. No IP rating is captured.
The Stiebel Eltron IW 120 is a wall quartz heater with three stages, 400 W, 800 W, and 1,200 W, listed at £51.48. The current field of 5.2 A at 230 V matches that 1,200 W top output. The box does not include a mains lead: the parts list is the heater, caps, a cable entry, a manual, rawl plugs, and screws. UK reviews say you supply a 3-core cable to a fused switch. The bullets say bathroom or terrace, and no IP rating is in the file, so the bathroom word is not a zone rating. The title says about 10 square metres and the coverage field says 8 m². No thermostat is stated. At 4.1 from 490 reviews the sample is large. A two-year warranty is stated, and the origin field says Germany.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A fixed indoor wall where you already have a fused connection and you are not relying on a bathroom claim.
Less suitable: A plug-in bedroom, or a bathroom zone, until an electrician has an IP rating from the manufacturer.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Stiebel Eltron IW 120 include a mains lead?
No. Included parts are the heater, caps, cable entry, manual, rawl plugs and screws. UK reviews say you supply a 3-core cable to a fused switch.
Is an IP rating stated?
No. The bullets say bathroom or terrace, and the indoor/outdoor field says indoor. No IP figure is captured.
What output does the listing state?
Three stages, 0.4 kW, 0.8 kW and 1.2 kW. The field says 1,200 W. Current is 5.2 A at 230 V. No thermostat is stated.
The Könighaus P-600 is a 600 W wall infrared panel listed at £121.90, the highest price in this set for the lowest output. The bullets say it is designed exclusively for wall mounting and that mounting materials are included. One UK review says the brackets were missing and the panel arrived bent. No thermostat is stated. Overheat protection is stated. The listing names a bathroom and gives no IP rating, so a bathroom word is not enough to treat it as zone-rated. The form-factor field says Tower while the title is a wall panel. It weighs 11 kg and measures about 60 cm wide by 100 cm high. At 4.0 from 23 reviews the sample is the smallest here. A five-year warranty is a bullet, not a test. A full-power hour is about 16p at 26.32 p/kWh, which is the cost of 600 W, not a reason to pay £121.90.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A wall-only 600 W panel if you inspect the brackets and the panel on arrival and you do not need a thermostat.
Less suitable: A bathroom, a plug-in desk, or anyone paying panel money and expecting a large review file.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the Könighaus P-600 for wall mounting?
Yes. The bullets say it is designed exclusively for wall mounting and that mounting materials are included. One UK review says the brackets were missing and the panel arrived bent.
Does the listing state a thermostat?
No. Overheat protection is stated. No timer answer is captured. Output is 600 W at 230 V. The listing has 23 reviews.
Is an IP rating stated for bathroom use?
No. Room type and the bullets name a bathroom. No IP figure is in the file.
Seven amazon.co.uk listings were scored on 15 October 2026. None of them is a Vasner ASIN. Prices, star lines, and review themes come from those files. This is not a laboratory test, a Which? score, or a claim that any ASIN passed BS EN 60335-2-30. The four weights below sum to 100.
Amazon stars and review count
30%Thirty points for the amazon.co.uk star line and the review count on that ASIN. A 4.4 from 36 ratings does not outrank a 4.1 from 2,153.
Listing clarity
25%Twenty-five points for whether the listing states type, watts, mount, tip-over or overheat protection, and a plug or a hard-wire note. Clashes come off this block, including Fahrenheit fields, a coverage figure with no unit, and a bathroom word with no IP rating.
Price against the stated spec
25%Twenty-five points for price against what that listing actually states. The cheapest price is not an automatic win. An 800 W bar at £39.95 scores below a 1,200 W bar at £21.45.
Review sentiment
20%Twenty points for review sentiment on that ASIN: a usable local heater, minus flimsy legs, a tip-over pin that may not depress on carpet, fabric on the grille, a missing plug, and arrival damage.
Match the type to the job, then the watts, the plug, and the IP line. A Vasner name on the search does not make these seven listings Vasner. Prices below are the amazon.co.uk shelves on 15 October 2026.
A radiant heater warms what it faces. The bars in this set glow. The panels do not. In the manufacturer’s range, a Vasner radiant heater is a flat electric infrared panel, not a three-bar halogen fire. None of the twelve amazon.co.uk files behind this page is a Vasner ASIN. Five forced-air and oil-filled listings were dropped. Seven other-brand radiant heaters remain.
None of the seven amazon.co.uk ASINs is a Vasner, Citara, or Zipris heater. Warmlite, Geepas, SONBION, Nedis, Stiebel Eltron, Mylek, and Könighaus are other brands. The English Citara M page describes an IP44 metal panel. These files do not show a Vasner price in GBP.
At the same watts, a radiant heater uses the same electricity as a fan heater. The SONBION seller line of up to 95 percent of power to heat does not make that 800 W bar cheaper to run than any other 800 W heater. A 600 W or 800 W bar will not replace a 2 kW fan.
Only Nedis and Mylek state IPX4. Stiebel’s bullets say bathroom or terrace, and Könighaus names a bathroom, with no IP figure in either file. IPX4 is splash protection, not a shower stream and not zone 0. Bare wires and a bathroom zone are an electrician’s job.
Brand honesty comes first. If you want VASNER, use the manufacturer shop and check UK delivery. Do not treat Warmlite, Geepas, SONBION, Nedis, Stiebel Eltron, Mylek, or Könighaus as Vasner. The English Citara M page describes an IP44 metal panel of about 300–1,100 W. None of these seven ASINs is that panel, and these files do not show a Vasner price in GBP. Then match the type to the job.
A plug-in domestic heater needs a BS 1363 plug and a BS 1362 fuse. Nedis is shipped with no plug and says to hard-wire it to a fused connection. UK reviews repeat that an electrician was needed. Stiebel’s parts list omits a lead. Reviews say you supply a 3-core cable to a fused switch. Only Nedis and Mylek state IPX4. Könighaus names a bathroom and states no IP rating. Stiebel’s bullets say bathroom or terrace and the file has no IP figure. IPX4 is splash protection, not a shower stream.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want directional heat with three stated watt steps and a swing, and you will keep the grille clear. The Warmlite WL42005 states 400 W, 800 W, and 1,200 W, plus 120 degree oscillation. A UK review says the safety pin may not depress on carpet.
You want a personal quartz bar for a short session and you can live with an 800 W top setting. The Geepas GQH9106 is about £14.99, with 400 W and 800 W stated. UK reviews mention flimsy legs and sealed tubes, and no room thermostat is described.
You will not plug a desk bar into a bathroom. The Nedis HTBA10GY states IPX4 and ships with no plug. Hard-wire it to a fused connection only where the manufacturer allows that zone. IPX4 is splash protection, not a shower stream.
The top pick is the Warmlite WL42005, score 81, at about £21.45. It has the largest review file here, 4.1 from 2,153 amazon.co.uk reviews, with three stated watt steps, 120 degree oscillation, a tip-over switch, and overheat protection. It does not state a thermostat, and a UK review says the safety pin may not depress on carpet. The best value is the Geepas GQH9106, score 74, at about £14.99 for a stated 400 W and 800 W quartz bar, with 4.2 from 323 reviews. None of these seven ASINs is a Vasner heater.
Geepas GQH9106 quartz heater
