As temperatures continue to drop, many of us are looking for inexpensive ways to heat our homes without cranking the central heating up. But while we’re all layered up in hoodie blankets from Oodie and heated blankets, another great option is investing in a fan heater and we’ve discovered a way to get a ‘compact’ yet ‘pretty powerful’ one less than £1.
The Bush MH-04W Fan Heater from Argos is great way to keep the chill at bay as it comes with 12 different temperature levels and two fan speeds to help deliver bursts of heat into a room. Saving on floor space, the heater is powered via an electrical plug and can be directly plugged into the wall.
Making life easier, it also comes with a remote control to turn the heater on and off from a distance. Usually retailing at £20, the device on its own is currently on sale for £16. However, when you sign up here to cashback deals website TopCashback you can get the heater for just £1. How this works is that when you join as a new member, you get a £15 bonus into your account.
To qualify for this bonus as a new member, all you need to do, once you’ve signed up, is buy the heater on Argos via TopCashback. After seven working days, the sign-up bonus should appear in your TopCashback account free for you to withdraw.
But that’s not all. For new members buying through the Argos website, you also get a cashback percentage. Meaning the heater will only cost you £0.33 after the £15 bonus and cashback is returned. For existing Argos customers, the price will be £0.87.
Back to the heater. Coming in at H18, W10.6, D11.4cm, it’s not the largest of devices but it seems shoppers are pretty impressed with the amount of heat it emits, with one five star reviewer sharing: “The loss of the Winter Fuel Payment prompted this buy. Easy to use, efficient and cheap to run. Brilliant at taking the ‘chill’ off a room.”
Another added: “This is really useful for taking the chill out of the hallway. Compact and pretty powerful. Very happy with this product!”
Described as a tool that ‘packs a punch’, another Argos shopper r aved: “Lots of options for such a small device and really worked well, even for a fairly large space.”
“Does what’s it’s supposed to do, heats a small room up perfectly 10/10,” said another”.
Although it wasn’t all positive praise as one unhappy shopper explained a drawback they experienced, saying: “Once bought and reading the small print it states it needs 30 cm below it. Standard UK sockets seem to be too low so this should be highlighted more clearly.”
If you’re looking for a similar small but mighty device – that won’t break the bank – Amazon has reduced the price of the Russell Hobbs Ceramic Plug Heater to £14 down from £24.99. Designed for use in rooms measuring up to 10 square metres, such as offices or small bedrooms, the mini heater plugs straight into the wall socket and features a thermostat ranging from 15°C to 30°C.
At Dunelm, you can pick up this 1500W small square olive coloured heater for £30 that heats a ‘medium sized bedroom well’.
