A few months ago whilst at work I found my usual work and utility room that gets treated as a mini department staff room when other colleagues can't be bothered to walk the longer distance to the main staff room. However upon going in, the room was ice cold when I walked in. It was the same kind of coldness that I associated with the staff room and was duly told that there was a problem with the heating system in general. I could have gone without heat for a week knowing that I had my Therapy Heat pad to hand or bring in one of my portable wheeled Dimplex heaters that have been brilliant for cheap to run heat and completely able to heat up a whole room without the ...  Read the complete review

We had been happy enough with a 2500 watt fan heater to add a bit of warmth in the caravan, but my husband's uncle suggested we really should go with a halogen heater instead as they burn quite a bit less electric and put out more heat. ( this is one of those relatives who really doesn't offer advice unless he knows what he is talking about, so we do tend to listen, especially since he has had his caravan many years). By way of a demonstration he showed my husband his heater turned on, and said two would easily heat the whole caravan, and one could do the job if the caravan were not too large. At only 1200 watts, this sounded like a better solution then our current ...  Read the complete review

I picked up this halogen heater last year after I discovered that as my son's room is an extension it was constantly freezing and despite the living room not needing heat I was forced to put the heating on so he wasn't cold when he went to bed. I originally set out looking for a small, cheap heater that I could pop on for an hour or so to warm up the room so it didn't have to be extremely powerful as the room is small. I also didn't need it to have any fancy features as it was going to be stored out of sight while not in use. I was browsing Amazon and came across this particular halogen heater on offer for just £7 at the time and i thought it had to be a bargain, so I ...  Read the complete review

I was surprised to see this product without a Dooyoo review, especially considering its affordability in comparison with other models occupying the market. You can find an Oscillating Halogen Heater for around £50 on the internet, and the website for clifford-james are doing a buy-one-get-one-free offer on their £44.99 price at the moment. I think that's great for such a useful piece of equipment, which, if you are only interested in heating a certain area of your house (like a bedroom or lounge) during those high fuel consuming winter nights, will save you a bundle. These bits of kit have improved massively over the years, they are now far more efficient, reliable, and .  Read the complete review

I live in a rural part of Wales where mains gas has not yet been invented! Therefore the choices for central heating are oil, solid fuel or electric. I have a solid fuel multi-stove which runs the radiators in the house and can heat my hot water. It is mostly very efficient albeit messy and laborious, especially so for me as I can no longer lift bags of coal of wood. As I have health issues, this can be a bit of an issue on a "bad day" when I can hardly move let alone light and clean out a fire. My health issues also mean that I do really feel the cold and I am home a lot, so I needed additional easy heat for when I could not cope with the fire. I decided on ...  Read the complete review
