We recommend it because it fits your 20 m², budget of 80 € and Bedroom use. We don't show products without enough data; where you see "—" there's no verified official figure.

How we work

Why this site doesn't look like the rest

Analysis first, commissions after. Never the other way around.

We don't pretend we tested them

If we haven't had it at home, we say so. We work with official spec sheets and verified reviews.

Square metres and electricity matter

We cross-check output (ml/h), tank size and power draw against your room and the cost of spare parts.

Every figure with its source and date

We say which retailer or manufacturer each figure comes from, and when we checked. Prices change fast and we flag when it's time to re-check.

Our score and buyer reviews stay separate

Our score (0–100) and the average buyer rating are always shown separately.

Preguntas frecuentes

No. We say it without dressing it up: we work with official spec sheets and a lot of verified reviews. We think that's better than inventing tests we haven't done.

Five questions and we'll tell you which one.

Instead of reading ten lists that look alike, tell us the room's square metres, your budget and what you want it for. We'll tell you what fits.
