B&M has cut the price of its Blaupunkt Halogen Heater to £20, down from £24, just as the Met Office warns temperatures could fall to -2C in parts of Scotland this week. The 16 percent reduction offers households an affordable way to keep warm as winter weather arrives.
The heater, described as "powerful" and "effective", provides three heat settings - 400W, 800W and 1200W - and is designed to deliver "heat quickly when you need it most". Its wide-angle oscillation function spreads warmth across the surrounding space, rather than blowing hot air in a single direction.
Met Office Warning and Cold Snap
The Met Office has confirmed that flurries of snow will hit parts of Scotland this week, with the Highlands and Grampian most affected. Overnight temperatures are also set to drop in other areas, reaching as low as -2C in Dumfries and Galloway, Strathclyde and the Borders.
Weighing just 1.3kg, the heater is easily portable and can be used in any room that needs extra warmth. Its "sleek" and "clean" design, in a neutral grey colourway, is intended to fit with most home interiors.
Cost-Saving Benefits
The Blaupunkt Halogen Heater is positioned as a cost-effective solution for heating only the rooms that need it, potentially helping households reduce their reliance on central heating. This comes as many face the cost of living pinch following the Ofgem Price Cap increase of four percent in October, which added an average £60 to annual bills.
Money-saving experts, including Martin Lewis, have advised to "heat the human not the home", with items such as draught excluders, portable heaters and heated blankets becoming increasingly popular.
Other Options in B&M's Winter Collection
B&M's 'Winter Cosy' collection, available in stores nationwide, includes a wide range of portable heater styles. Other options include the Blaupunkt Log Effect Electric Stove, priced at £45, which is said to "bring warmth and classic charm" to homes, and the Blaupunkt 9 Fin Turbo Oil Filled Radiator 2000W, costing £59, which features nine oil-filled fins that stay warm even when turned off.
The Blaupunkt Halogen Heater is available to buy now in B&M stores for £20.
