One five-star review read: "Instant Pots are something else. They rarely give you issues, and continue working for at least 5 years. It saves a crazy amount of energy. You can cook entire meals - especially with those devilish pulses and lentils, which can take hours and or overnight on stoves, only to be crunchy or just weird - within 30 minutes. And, I love the fact that the liners are robust and -Quality- stainless steel! No weird scent or taste. It's the best!"

Someone else gushed: "Believe the hype! What can I say! A fab bit of kit for your kitchen and well worth the price even when not on prime day! I’m disabled so to be able to cook an entire meal in one pot has been a godsend!"

Tech deal of the week

Amazon shoppers are raving over a "powerful" portable heater that they are using instead of turning on the full central heating system.

There's no denying that temperatures are dropping, bringing the annual dilemma of heating the home or saving energy. If you're trying to heat just one room, then a portable heater will come in handy.

On Amazon, one of the top buys is the Pro Breeze 2000W Mini Ceramic Fan Heater, and it's on offer for 44 percent less. Retailing at £44.99, this limited time deal has been reduced to £24.99 - saving shoppers £20 off the RRP.

The 2000W heater has been praised in reviews for its compact and energy-saving design that heats single rooms "quickly". It comes with three power settings, a fan-only mode and an adjustable thermostat that monitors the air temperature, turning it off when it has reached the desired temperature.

Its "lightweight" design means that it is easy to transport from room to room, which means you don't have to heat unoccupied rooms. There's also a couple of safety features such as an overheat protection and an anti-tip-over switch.

With thousands of glowing reviews and a 4.4 rating on Amazon, this heater might be small, yet many users have said that it "packs a punch" and also "works faster than central heating."

One glowing review read: "Great little heater that really packs a punch. Takes the edge off a cold room very quickly. Light and compact which is great for my wife who is disabled."

A second five-star review read: "Powerful little thing! It’s small but mighty. Good price, takes up virtually no room, easily moved."

Another shopper penned: "I’d been wanting an instant pot for a while. Now I’ve bought one I’m over the moon. This pot is brilliant, saves me time and money. I cook quite a lot of meat for pies and stews. This was taking a lot of time and money. But with this instant pot it’s a breeze. The meat is tender and juicy. Buy one and see the difference you’ll be amazed at the time and energy you will save."

Someone else said: "This device is like magic! I sautéed the onions, cashews and chicken ( which I had already marinated) added soaked rice and spices for a biryani and put the pressure cooker function on for 8mins. After releasing the pressure I had a perfect, fluffy, delicious and authentic Chicken biryani! It took me a fraction of the time of my usual oven baked version. It also uses far less energy! Win win win."
