Can anyone offer me some advice regarding awning heaters?
Seen one in argos, it's only £8.95 but it's 2Kw, would i be able to run this and if so would i be able to run anything else on it such as a laptop charger or tv?
Am i correct in thinking this would require at least a 10amp feed?

Any info would be appreciated.

p.s. i did a search for awning heaters but i couldn't find anything.

in our local £streacher they have an 800wt two element halogen heater that is brilliant value at £7

you need to shop around for the bargains, make sure that the unit you buy has the safety cutout switch on the base in case the unit gets nocked over.

Hi all , just bought one of those halogen heaters from £ streacher , the one i got ( only one i could find ) is not a 800watt , but a 1050watt , with 3 heat settings ( 350watts each ) and it oscillates as well , it also has a safety tip-over switch , bargain at £12 , will be nice to have some heat in the awning as were away this weekend .
