Recommendations for a space heater please?

40m^2 wrkshop.
Well insulated but needs something to take the chill off at the moment.

I had one of these form Screwfix, and it was good for a few weeks, but died and they're now out of stock.
It was 2.5kW and cost £40, so something in the same bracket would be ideal.

If you can put up with the moisture I'd spend a bit more and get a propane heater. Would be cheaper to run too and more suited to that amount of floor space. Have a look at machine mart?
 
Fair point, but electricity comes out of the joint account, and propane wouldn't. ;)
Anyway, the Screwfix one was powerful enough - it just didn't last long enough.

Do you need to heat the whole space or just where you are working? I have a 1.2kw halogen heater next to where I spend most of my time and that keeps me perfectly comfortable. If I need more heat e.g glueing up, I just run a hot air gun or two for half an hour to bring the air temperature up.
 
There isn't really one srea that gets used more than another so it doesn't sound like a halogen heater will do what's needed.
