One shopper called it a ‘life saver’ in the colder months, as they wrote: “Small but efficient heater. Reasonable price and ideal for moving around the home where extra heat is required.”
Another happy customer said the product has saved on energy bills, as their five-star review reads, “I purchased this heater in anticipation of a cold winter and really do not regret it. Using this is more effective and cheaper than blasting the central heating for hours.”
A third said they were impressed by the ‘powerful little thing’. They wrote, “When I picked up the heater, I thought: 'Oh… it's a little small, a toaster would be warmer.' But oh boy, was I wrong. The fan is quite powerful in itself, and the first heat setting out of three is powerful; I haven’t needed to put it on higher.”

Customers have said the heater in question can warm up any room in less than five minutes so there’s no need to worry about the electricity bill either.

In fact, I had to turn it down! I would recommend this product 100% and excellent value for money.”
Another agreed, adding: “A wonderful product that has helped us survive the entire winter - a lot less energy consumption.”
