fan heater
Portable warmth machine
A fan heater is a portable electric heater that blows warm air into a room.
A heating element warms the air while a fan circulates it, providing quick but localized heat: I plugged in a fan heater to warm up the bathroom.
Unlike radiators, fan heaters stop producing warmth the moment they're switched off.
