It’s beginning to get a little colder out there, which means the yearly dilemma of how to keep warm for less has increased.
For those who want to keep their heating bills a little low, a portable radiator can be useful for heating one room at a time. One that seems to be “very cheap to run” is Dunelm’s 2000W 9 Fin Oil Filled Radiator.
Retailing at £49, this compact radiator boasts a a thermostatic control and three different heat settings to select your desired warmth. Shoppers also love its “lightweight” design that means they can transfer it to any room with ease.
Ideal for medium-sized rooms, this radiator heats up the surrounding space through its nine oil filled fins that are said to be “the most reliable source of heating”. It’s also energy-saving, as Dunelm claims its running cost is around “45p per hour”.
Sitting at a 4.3 star rating based on over hundreds of reviews, this 2000W 9 Fin Oil Filled Radiator has been a hit with shoppers who are saying “bye bye to central heating” since they bought it.
One delighted customer wrote: “I take this portable lightweight heater to whichever room I am in – saves putting central heating on. Retains heat after it is switched off which is even better. So glad I bought it and really good value for money.”
A second praised: “I found this heater very efficient, it kept my lounge warm at a comfortable temperature all day. Just on the lowest setting. Checking my cost on the little meter in the kitchen, I was surprised that the cost of the day was 63 pence well in my budget. A brilliant buy, very cheap to run and the cost was a big pull for me to buy, it was the cheapest one I found.
