Which electric room heater is the least costly to run?

Hello!

I have an infrared room heater that I really enjoy its heat as it does not dehydrate the air, it does not make noise and it also does not emit light.

However, it costs £0.40/hr to run and it only heats myself (I have it next to me) and slightly the room.

I am looking for a similar room heater to heat only myself, make no noise and not dehydrate the air (it can emit some light, no problem).

Do you have any recommendation that is validated by your smart meter to run on less than £0.40/hr?

My central gas heating can be cheaper but I will need to set the thermostat quite high to achieve the warmth I get with that heater next to me and it will also heat the air too much and make breathing difficult.

Thanks!

An electric oil filled radiator heat without making any noise or blowing the air around.

All resistive electric heaters all cost the same to run. 1000 watts in 1000 watts out!

I'm sure there's more.
I have an oil filled radiator that heats a small room 8 ft by 10.
It is 750 watts you can get them at 500 but I've got 750 and it costs once it's up to heat around 8p an hour.
