As the UK endures a cold snap with snow, ice, and sub-zero temperatures, consumers are turning to a compact DeLonghi heater to warm their rooms quickly and affordably. The Capsule Hobby Fan Heater, priced at £29.99, has been rated 'excellent' by users who praise its portability and efficiency.
The heater, usually £54.99, offers a £25 saving and costs just 66p per hour to run, according to calculations by energy-site Sus-it. With a 2.4kW output, it provides a cost-effective alternative to turning up the home thermostat, especially as energy bills remain high.
Users have highlighted the device's ability to heat a mid-sized bedroom in under five minutes. One shopper described it as 'a stylish little heater that gives out a good amount of heat quickly,' while another called it 'a real money-saving device in these difficult economic times.' The heater also features an automatic shut-off if lifted, though the power cable is only about one meter long.
For comparison, the Dyson AM09 heater uses a smaller 2kW output and costs more than £300 to buy. Alternatively, the Dreo 1500W Electric Heater, on sale at £44, offers a 12-hour timer and vertical tilt but is more expensive than the DeLonghi model.
