Any thing DYSON makes me cringe my Son had a house clearance and removal business for some years and I helped him at times we frequently got Dyson vacuum cleaners in the clearance and we found them to be pretty bad, poor vacuum and unreliable, had difficult selling them on as well , most car boots have Dysons for sale in abundance so that tells me something, , friend has a Dyson electric heater and he doesn't like that either. There are folks out there that love them of course but not us .I see the Dyson unit is in the list and is "quiet". Oh no it isn't! I don't know how efficient it is but it is as noisy as any other fan heater IMO.
For localised direct heat, Infrared heaters are very good. Point them where you want the heat (so you could direct them to yourself). Plus side - silent (I hate noisy heaters!). Down side - very very bright (I block out the heater by having the laptop screen between it and my eyes).
I find "wearable heaters" very good. I was given a Heated Vest at Christmas to use outside when working on the van and stuff. You plug in a USB powerpack that goes into a pocket to provide the energy. It is really good and I wear it inside under a jumper as I like the room a fair bit warmer than the OH. Doing this keeps us both happy - A wide selection here: https://amzn.to/3rym7AV
That is maybe the most energy-efficient as it is such localised heating?
