Rank #7 in Best Electric Heater 2026: 35 Celsius, 16 Kiloamps
Amazon Basics Space Heater with PTC Ceramic Technology
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Amazon Basics PTC heater costs £34.19 and is rated 4.3 stars from 110 ratings, with seventy-one per cent of buyers at five stars and eleven per cent at one.
It takes seventh because the sample is small and the one-star share is the worst of the small ones, while the page is the most instructive in the article: heat output in Fahrenheit, voltage at 120, and the only metric room size — eighteen square metres — hidden in a bullet rather than the field.
How those 110 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.3 stars.
