The UK is bracing for freezing temperatures, with even colder weather on the way. But millions of people have been struggling with the cost of living, which has forced some to limit how often their central heating is used due to soaring energy prices.

In an effort to cut costs, shoppers are searching for cost-effective and efficient alternatives to heating their homes. A popular choice is a small electric heater, which provides focused heat rather than unnecessarily warming the entire home.

Dunelm's 2000W Convector Heater priced at £28, fits that bill perfectly. The Mirror reports that it operates at a relatively energy-efficient 45p per hour and has gained outstanding reviews for being "the best winter buy" for savvy shoppers.

The unit, celebrated for its ease of setup, has three heat settings, which you can tailor to comfort levels. It even features a handy carry handle, allowing you to move it from room to room easily.

With over 100 reviews from satisfied customers, it is clear to see why this device is so popular. One shopper said this was "a great little heater", adding: "Silent and powerful enough to warm any room up within a few minutes."

Someone else claimed: "The heat that comes from [the heater] is amazing. Within an hour my living room was so warm and cosy and that's was on a bitterly cold morning." A fifth added: "I was a bit worried at first with it being a low price. But, I can assure anyone looking to buy this it will be your best winter buy."

However, not all feedback was positive. Some customers reported issues, with a few stating their products arrived damaged or complained that their heaters "just stopped working" after a short period of use.
