Central heating is definately the way forward. More expensive to install than oil filled heaters but once you’ve tried it you’ll wonder why you’ve never had it fitted before!! Your flat will be lovely and warm before you know it

if ur electric fan heaters r too expensive electric convection (oil filled or not) would prob be just as expensive and heat the room less quickly. slimline panel? “as soon as they get turned off it goes cold” would indicate that U have an insuation or draft problem. U should check around doors, windows, outside walls for air infiltration (smoke pencil, cigarette). Put window film on if single pane. ” I need something with a timer so my room will be warm in the morning.” Heater w/timer or pug in timer w/rating = or greater than heatter

You can get timers that plug in to your electrical sockets and then you plug your heater into the timer.
Oil-filled heaters may keep the heat longer. There are also ceramic heaters that are more efficient.
Make quilted curtains for your windows to keep heat in at night. If it is really cold outside you may want to cover your windows with plastic taped at the edges to the window frame.
Seal drafty cracks and behind electrical outlets with a non-toxic foam..
Use an elecric blanket or heat pad at night – a hot water bottle is good too.

Try a ceramic heater. You can put on 400w or 800w. They oscillate from side to side and are nice and warm. They costs about 4p an hour to run (so they sday). They are also cheap to buy. Usually you can get 2 for the price of one.

oil filled portable (just) radiators from somewhere like Argos,,,,spend up to £100 for a really good one,,they take a little time to get going but once hot the oil remains hot long after it has been switched off,,get one with a timer and away you go,,,,

an oil filled rad gives out a lot of heat.

An oil filled radiator is probably your best option

I have used Dimplex plug in rads before and they work really well.
