Heater costs just 6p an hour to run - and shoppers say it heats whole room instantly

Shoppers have praised one heater that costs just 6p an hour to run, which might be a saviour for those struggling to warm their homes during the cost of living crisis.

The heater offers a budget alternative to those resisting turning the central heating on too much.

This comes as temperatures continue to plummet and snow is forecast for several regions of the UK this week.

Alongside that, the cost of living crisis continues to put a strain on many Brits’ finances - as they search for a more economical method to stay warm.

But one portable heater has been claimed to be a game-changer by some, available in some places for as little as £33, and it costs as just 6p an hour to function one customer claimed.

Some have called the SupaWarm Deluxe Halogen Heater the “best heater ever” and said it pumps out “masses of heat instantly”.

It previously racked up hundreds of five-star reviews when on sale at B&Q with one shopper outlining how much it costs to run in an Amazon review, The Manchester Evening News reported.

Annette K said: "As I understand it is 6p per hour on the one bar, 12p on two bars and 18p an hour on the 3 bars. So happy with it."

One five-star reviewer wrote: "Instant heat, best halogen heater i ever bought, thank you, love it."

Another said: "These heaters are brilliant. I have only used one bar all through the cold spell. It is very cost effective works."

A third person raved: "Very happy with this as it's very economical and gives immediate warmth. Warms the body rather than the room which is what we wanted.

“Just 5 mins gives a nice boost to body heat that lasts very well if you layer your clothes on a very cold day. Very portable. My husband uses it sometimes in his home office if he feels chilly. Taller than most models and replaceable bulbs available."

A fourth added: "Good heater that pumps out lots of heat." A fifth said: "Great fire kicks out masses of heat."
