Portable heater gets warm 'in seconds' and is 'almost as quiet as a library'
A portable heater is a brilliant way to save some cash on your heating bills, meaning you can really warm up the room you're in without having to switch the central heating on.
There's no escaping the cold snap, and the September weather really has taken a turn. People around the country are readying themselves for a bitter winter, with the prospect of climbing energy bills meaning that cheaper alternatives to central heating are always attractive.
That's just the prospect offered by a great heater that you can order through Amazon right now, with a 10% check-out voucher to make it even more affordable. The Dreo 16 Inch Space Portable Heater is really nicely designed to look sleek and modern, but it does a traditional job very well - and it's £67.49 with that voucher, instead of £74.99.
This ceramic heater is packed full of welcome features including the ability to oscillate to cover a wider area, and a bunch of safety elements to stop it from tipping over or overheating. It has multiple modes to swap between, including an eco mode that will slash its energy use to ensure that it can be genuinely cheap.
So will it actually have a positive impact on your bills? It very well could be. The heater runs at 1800 watts, which means it only costs 40p to run for an hour - and even less if you choose that eco mode - which is likely less money than whacking the central heating on for your whole house.
Over 1,900 people have left reviews on Amazon after buying the heater so far, with an average score of 4.5 stars. One such happy customer wrote: "I don't know anything more I can say about these incredible heaters. I've recommended them to all of my mates. Bought two of them and saved a fortune in electric bills."
Another user said: "This heater has warmed up a decent-sized lounge with high ceilings... fairly quiet, looks neat and really makes a difference." A third added: "The remote is very useful and the instructions easy to understand. It’s been a lifesaver over the winter. I’d not heard of this make and don’t think I’d have come across it but I’m very happy with it. The eco setting is good and will switch the heater off once the room is at the selected temp and come on again if it cools."
Some people have left slightly more critical notes - like one person who said: "It simply isn't silent though. You will hear a fan going on and off, which sounds quite loud in my home office." Another customer commented: "It works, but does not provide enough heat output, even at the highest setting."
If you want an alternative heating option and have a much bigger budget, you could check out Dyson's Hot+Cool Jet Focus AM09 fan heater, which is a lot pricier at £349.99 (reduced from £399.99). Alternatively, an old-school oil-free radiator might be a great choice - like the Dimplex 1.5kW Electric Freestanding Oil-Free Radiator at Screwfix for £82.99.
