Winter is right around the corner, and I've been on the lookout for ways to stay warm in my small home office without breaking the bank on inflated energy bills. During the daytime, it's just me in the house, and I haven't yet justified the need to turn on the heating so I've been relying on alternative methods to stay warm at home – especially when it's just me in one room.
My goal was simple: find something that would offer me warmth, and do so in a cost-effective way. This was in part due to Martin Lewis' advice to 'heat the human, not the home', but I'm all the more grateful for this shift of mindset that's certainly saved me a lot in the long-run. That's when I came across a compact plug-in heater from Dunelm. It promised all the features I was after: quick heat, low energy use, and a simple design. So naturally, I decided to give it a go. Even if it wouldn't end up competing with some of the best electric heaters I've tested, for only £18, what's there to lose?
