Dunelm shoppers have been flocking to snag a “brilliant” electric heater as the chill sets in, which has garnered glowing praises for its “stunning” appearance.
The Chiminea Style Flame Effect Heater stands out as an eye-catching choice for those who want to add some stylish warmth to their homes as the temperatures drop. It boasts a realistic flame effect, mimicking the cosy ambiance of a traditional fireplace or wood-burner, all without the hefty cost and can be effortlessly positioned anywhere with a power outlet.
Retailing at £100 and offered in either black or white with charming wood effect accents that channel a Nordic aesthetic, this heater comes with a thermostat for setting your ideal temperature. Even better, Dunelm indicates that it costs just 40p per hour to run.
Having attracted over 100 consumer reviews, its well-earned score sits at a lofty 4.5 stars out of five. This happy shopper said: “What a great buy. Really cheap to run. We have it on for hours and barely use any electricity in comparison to having the gas central heating on.”
Echoing similar sentiments, this customer described it as “both pretty and practical”, adding: “I hate a warm bedroom but equally hate a cold lounge – this offers a beautiful, cheap and easily controlled solution. Looks pretty and warms a room quickly and efficiently without having to put the heating on. Had mine for over 12 months and still love it”, reports Chronicle Live.
A third shopper enthused: “So stunning to look at, it is so classy. I love it and I do get a lot of compliments about it. An added feature to my lounge. Perfect!”
This reviewer chimed in with praise: “Nice and stylish heater that gives off a good amount of heat. Looks good on a dark night and feels cosy.”
Indeed, a whopping 88 percent of Dunelm patrons have given the heater a glowing endorsement of either four or a maximum five stars. Some users highlight the heater’s ability to make a room feel warm “instantly”, while others applaud the flame effect for being “so realistic.”
Yet, a minority of buyers have expressed discontent, noting the heater can be “too noisy”; and a handful mentioned struggles when fitting the legs, branding the task “difficult”.
For those in search of a touch of Scandinavian warmth without breaking the bank, Amazon currently has the Russell Hobbs Retro Fan Heater on offer for a mere £19.99, slashed from its original price of £34.99. Shoppers can pick from a black and wood effect, as well as classic plain black or grey models.
Meanwhile, Argos showcases the Beldray Teresina Electric Freestanding Mini Stove, another attractive option for achieving that snug fireplace ambiance, tagged at £90 and boasting an impressive average consumer score of 4.6 out of 5, based on north of 350 reviews.
