The Neo 650W Oil Filled 5 Fin Electric Heater Radiator is currently on sale at Debenhams, and has a massive 41% off its usual price tag
When the mercury drops, it’s tempting to crank up the central heating for a quick warm-up, but this can be one of the pricier options. If you’re aiming to trim your winter running costs, using portable heaters to warm individual rooms can be a more wallet-friendly choice.
Currently, you can snag a bargain with the Neo 650W Oil Filled 5 Fin Electric Heater Radiator, now £26.61, reduced from £44.99 at Debenhams (price correct at time of writing). It costs a mere 16p per hour to run, potentially making it cheaper than gas or electric central heating, and its five fins provide ample surface area to efficiently heat the surrounding air.
With an integrated thermostat, you can easily set your preferred temperature. Once this temperature is reached, the heater will automatically switch off, and it also features overheating and tip-over protection. Thanks to its wheel-mounted design, it’s a breeze to move between rooms.

On Amazon, it has earned a solid reputation, averaging 3.7 out of 5 stars from 27 reviews so far. “This is a very nice heater to have at the ready in case of a cold spell,” praised one five-star reviewer.
“Excellent little heaters, they throw out really good heat and they’re lovely, neat, small, dinky little things,” gushed another satisfied customer, reports Gloucestershire Live. Another simply stated: “Does what it says on the tin.”
Another simply remarked: “Does exactly what I wanted it for. Excellent.” Some users have pointed out that these compact heaters might not be the best fit for larger rooms.
“The heater is fine for really small rooms, but due to its lack of power it struggles to heat larger areas,” one customer review highlighted. Another buyer remarked that the heater was “smaller than expected”.
If you’re in the market for something with a bit more oomph, be prepared to splash the cash – though deals are still out there. For instance, Robert Dyas is offering the Delonghi 2000W Radia S Oil Filled Radiator at £109.99, while Currys has slashed the price on a chic eco heater down to £199.
