Enquiry from my son as dads know everything :-(

Would it be safe to use a 2 KW heater plugged into a 1.8 KW timer plug?
The heater has options for 1250kw / 750kw or both, one option could be
to disconnect a switch maybe.

What do you reckon?

I've never seen a timer plug rated less than 13A.
However, I wouldn't want to run one a max load for long, even so.
TBH, I would consider an immersion heater timeswitch.

What's the type of heater, and why the timeswitch?

Portable heaters on timeswitches can be a really bad thing, as
people can put things down too close or on top or move them when
they're off, and then they come on when there's no one to smell
the burning.
