"I bought one to help ease the burden of gas central heating costs. The square fan heater £30 has not disappointed me, in fact it has passed all the reviews that I read. It is extremely quiet, it heats up straight away, saves money. I like how small it is, but how powerful it works, it even oscillates."

"This is absolutely perfect for a small room. [It] warms the space up incredibly fast and with the thermostat setting, you can leave it on without worrying it will be running all the time. Very light and easy to move from room to room, which is exactly what we needed as we combat the chill in the "charming period cottage" we rented!"
"Bought for my son at Uni, for when he needs some instant heat. Quick and efficient and heats up room well. Great [that] it rotates."
