As the temperature begins to plummet across the UK, homeowners are looking for more affordable ways to heat up – without putting the heating on.

As always, we put our faith in our trusty shopping expert, and she’s found a portable heater from Dunelm that costs as little as 33p an hour to run.

The 1500W Russell Hobbs Black Portable Ceramic Heater, priced at £28, is a versatile heater offering two heat settings, and providing added flexibility during cold spells and winter months.

Equipped with a ceramic PTC heating element, it efficiently converts energy into heat, quickly warming up your room. With a maximum heat output of 1500W, it’s perfect for spaces up to 15 square meters.

So, whether you’re working in the shed, from your home office or just want to heat up the livingroom with ease, this is the perfect choice for any household.

As with any of Russell Hobbs’ products, safety is a priority. The heater features an automatic switch-off function to prevent overheating, and will also turn off if accidentally knocked over – making it ideal for use all around the home.

Additionally, the heater comes with a 2-year guarantee, though you must register your product to be eligible for the second year.

Running costs are approximately 33p per hour, making it an economical choice for keeping your home cosy.

Shoppers have called it ‘efficient’, ‘great’, and a ‘fab little heater’ – with Gill53 saying: ‘warms our lounge in 15 minutes. We did a test, and it costs 50p an hour in electricity. Bought my daughter one for her home too.’

A fellow 5-star reviewer called DW added: ‘Excellent heater, heats the room quickly. Lightweight and very portable with handle. Useful thermostat function.’

‘It’s a great little heater perfect for a small room’, mentioned Anette. She went on to say: ‘The two settings are really useful because often the lower setting is enough and then it uses very little electricity. I’m saving on my gas bill quite a bit! I like it that there is a thermostat, so I don’t need to turn it on and off manually all the time.’

Adding to the handful of satisfied shoppers, Non also said: ‘The ceramic heater is brilliant, it’s lightweight and portable, I am very impressed of how quickly it heated up our large room.’

With prices set to rise of the next few months, now’s a better time than any to invest in a smarter way to heat small spaces – starting with this portable heater.
