The heater has both a low and a high heating mode and the adjustable thermostat can automatically regulate the room temperature.
It’s also super small: just 21.5 x 13.5 x 11.5 cm, which means you can place it in any room without taking up any space.
A description on the Amazon website reads: “The use of an advanced ceramic heating element, which can heat up quickly in 1S, a high-speed turbine, completely improves the heat dissipation efficiency.
“Ceramic heating is safer and more energy efficient than electric heat pipe heaters, and with the intelligent constant temperature function you can say goodbye to sudden cold.”
Amazon enthusiasts have gone to the judgement section of the website to share their love for heating.
One person said: “I’ve been using the lower setting which seems to run about 30p an hour…much cheaper than having my central heating on.
“Even on the lower setting it heats the room quite quickly and after an hour it can be turned off and the room remains tolerable.”
A second person said: “I bought one to try out and it worked so well I bought two more.
“Perfect for an instant burst of heat.”
4 ways to keep your energy bill low
Laura Court-Jones, small business editor at Bionic shared her tips.
1. Turn your heating down one degree
You probably won’t even notice this small temperature difference, but what you will notice is a saving on your energy bill. By turning the thermostat down a step, you can quickly start saving. This one small action only takes a few seconds and could potentially reduce your heating costs by €171.70.
2. Turn off appliances and lights
It sounds simple, but completely turning off appliances and lights that aren’t in use can lower your energy bills, especially in winter. By switching off lights and appliances when they are not in use, you can save up to €20 per year on your energy bill
3. Install a smart meter
Smart meters are a great way to keep control of your energy consumption, especially as they allow you to see where and when your gas and electricity are being used.
4. Consider changing energy supplier
No matter how satisfied you are with your current energy supplier, they may not give you the best deals, especially if you have let a fixed rate contract expire without taking out a new contract. If you haven’t looked at alternative rates lately, you might not know that there are better options out there.
A third person added: “Love this one, especially now that fuel costs are so high.
“We bought four. They heat the smaller rooms in an instant. Well worth the money”
A fourth added: “The heater warms the room so quickly. I’ve been struggling with an old heater and this has been a lifesaver.”
