Not really. Heaters here are 3kW. You're getting 1.8kW, suitable for a
hall maybe.


Most houses have central heating so not that much use for the portable
heaters. The portable heaters cost more to operate that gas, oil, heat pump
systems.

And if you want to use one in say a bedroom, the 120V ones seem to
be adequate. I guess with 240V you could heat it up a lot faster,
but for maintaining, seems 120V is fine. If you need 240V, heat
multiple areas that way, you'd have a hell of a bill, here at least.
