Let’s face it, January is a pretty bleak month - not only do you have to face going back to work after the long festive period, but the weather's pretty dreadful too which makes those dark early wake-ups even harder.
With the cold weather continuing for a good few months, and the ongoing cost of living crisis affecting millions across the country, many households are thinking about ways to save on their heating bills - and one way to do so is by investing in cost effective alternatives, from electric blankets to plug in heaters.
Another great option is investing in a fan heater, and we’ve spotted one on Argos which shoppers are calling “small yet mighty” and even a “life saver” - and it’ll set you back just £32.
The Challenge 2kW Ceramic Fan Heater boasts three heating modes, a safety cut out switch to prevent it from overheating as well as a tip-over protection switch. It has a weight of 1.2kg and is suitable for room sizes of up to 10m².
On top of this the heater's 1.8 metre cord and freestanding design means you can move it to wherever suits you, and it’s thermostatically controlled, so it also blows out cool air which is great for when summer comes around.
The product has received hundreds of five star reviews from happy shoppers praising the heater for being "extremely efficient" and "great value for money."
One delighted customer said: "I purchased this fan heater when our boiler broke down. It kept our lounge lovely and warm on very cold winter days. Would highly recommend it."
A second said: "I bought this to heat up my lounge for when I work from home and 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!"
While a third, who called the heater a 'life saver' added: "Bought this to reduce central heating costs and get localised heating. The first was so good that I bought the second one. Throws out hot air very quickly and the fan distributes the heat around the room really quick."
According to one shopper after checking her smart metre, the heater costs just 40p per hour to run on the lowest setting, so if your home needs a little boost, it’s a great, affordable way to heat up your home without popping the heating on.
You can purchase the The Challenge 2kW Ceramic Fan Heater here for £32.
