Argos' £32 heater is so powerful, shoppers 'no longer need central heating'

A £32 Argos heater has stunned shoppers with how much heat it gives out instantly. Not to mention, it's incredibly cheap to run.

Argos' Challenge 2kW Ceramic Fan Heater may only cost £32, but its budget price tag has no reflection on how powerful it is. Plus, it's so cheap to run, people are ditching their central heating.

Shoppers say Argos' £32 Challenge 2kW Ceramic Fan Heater heats up a room almost instantly, and blasts out heat. It's also really easy to move about, so you can transport it to whichever room you're in without feeling like you've just done 12 rounds in a boxing ring.

Nearly 600 customers have left glowing five-star reviews on the product's page, with particular praise aimed at how well it can heat the home without needing to rack up the heating bill, says the Daily Record. One five-star review read: "Warming electric heater that is much cheaper to run than the central heating."

A second wrote: "I bought this to heat up my lounge for when I wfh as I didn’t want to have the gas on constantly given the rising costs at the moment. My lounge is a fairly large room so I was worried that it may not be as effective as I’d hoped - however it is fantastic. Blasts hot air and heats up the room within minutes. No complaints whatsoever!"

A third happy shopper said: "I bought it last month and I am happy I did, it consumes lesser energy and reduce my cost of putting on central heating."

Another added: "It heats up quickly and the white noise is very nice to sleep to. Its energy efficient and heats up the room quickly and is cheaper than putting the heating on. There is a button underneath that means if it gets knocked over it will turn off so I dont need to worry about it causing any fires. If I could I'd get one for my living room too so I dont need to put the heating on at all."

The Challenge 2kW Ceramic Fan Heater can be purchased for £32 on the Argos website here.
