Default Which type of heater is best for a bathroom?

Pete Zahut explained on 27/03/2018 :
Apart from a central heating radiator, which we can't do (and even if we
could, the central heating won't be on during the night so it's a non-starter
anyway), what's the best type of heater for in a bathroom?

This query has been prompted by a rather unpleasant situation. The ceiling
height in our (small) bathroom is 7ft 6in and we currently have a fan heater
mounted on the wall at about 6ft high. The fan heater starts off at 2kW and
when IT thinks it's warm enough, IT switches down to 1kW automatically.

At about 3am one very cold morning I was woken up with a dose of the runs and
spent about 50 minutes to an hour sat on the loo. Of course, we all know that
hot air rises, so up at ceiling level the room was lovely and warm, so much
so that the fan heater took it upon itself to cut it's output down to 1kW.
Meanwhile, at 'sat on toilet level' I'm freezing me nads off and shivering
for England, as well as suffering the squits!

The fan heater has, just this very morning, gone to that great bathroom in
the sky and I'm wondering what we can replace it with that will allow heat to
get down to toilet height in order to avoid such a situation again in the
future.


As it's causing so much speculation, here's a picture of the current
situation. I don't want a solution where I have to rip half the
bathroom apart or run new pipes/cables, all I want is a suggestion for
a better form of heating than this IF ONE EXISTS:
