The weather has been relentless in recent weeks. The Met Office has issued weather warning after weather warning and temperatures plummeted as low as -18.7C on Friday – the lowest in January since 2010.
With that in mind, many of us are thinking about ways we can stay warmer in our homes. From heated blankets to winter duvets, people are trying to keep cosy during the cold snap.
And some Amazon shoppers have found a solution in the OWAAE 1500W Portable Electric Heater, which has had its price slashed by 26 per cent to £33.98.

The 1500W heater has two warm modes and a cold air mode, which means it can keep you toasty in the winter and cool in the summer. According to the product description, it “heats up instantly” and boasts a “compact and portable design” which allows owners to easily move it around their home.
The 29cm-tall heater, which has a one-touch control display and a remote control, also has a 60 degrees rotation, allowing it to pump warm air into difficult-to-reach corners of the room. In terms of safety, the heater automatically shuts down if it overheats or tips over, giving customers peace of mind.
And those who have got their hands on the OWAAE Portable Electric Heater have been singing its praises, hailing its “versatility” and branding it “perfect for small rooms”.
It boasts a 4.5 rating on Amazon, with one person saying: “Great little heater, perfect for smaller rooms, heat comes out after a few seconds, and blows nicely, heater can move or not, you can set the temperature you want to achieve. All easy and effective.”
Another happy customer added: “We needed a small heater that would heat a small room quickly. This is it. It puts out quite a lot of heat if required and we find we can turn it off after 5 minutes. There’s also a cooling fan option. It is really versatile, can partly rotate automatically if selected, and has a cooling fan option for warmer weather. Small and portable, it is really handy and low cost, great value and well built.”
A third person wrote: “It’s nice, compact, lightweight, and heats up quickly and the thermostat seems to work well.It is also easy to carry around, take it to work and put it under your desk.”
Others were impressed with the heat it produced despite its size. One customer said: “Very little but packs a hot punch.” Another added: “It is small but really makes a difference to a freezing cold room.”
One buyer wasn’t impressed with the sound, saying the heater should not be used in bedrooms. They wrote: “The unit in itself is nice and it generates a comfortable heating flow however l had intended to use in my bedroom but could not tolerate the noisy fan sound.”
