‘Powerful’ electric heater better than a third off as weather remains chilly

‘Well made, small but powerful, easy to use and set up’

As temperatures continue to dip, keeping warm at home is a priority for many – and a reliable heater has never been more essential. One model in particular is standing out this winter, earning praise for its performance and efficiency while now being available for more than a third off.

The 1,500W Dreo Electric Heater is now available in a limited-time deal for £42.48, down from £64.99, on Amazon. The Dreo Heater 316 is a portable electric space heater designed for fast, efficient indoor heating.

It features a remote control for adjusting the heat, switching modes, and setting timers without having to move at all. Its 1,500W advanced PTC system and heat funnel design deliver warmth within seconds and ‘enhance warm air circulation for up to 200% farther reach than traditional heaters’, the site says.

The precise NTC thermostat allows temperatures from 5-35 degrees Celsius with 1 degree increments, helping shoppers stay comfortable while saving energy. Safety is built in with a tilt detection sensor, overheat protection, flame retardant materials, and a safety plug.

The quiet brushless DC motor and winglet fan reduce noise to around 34dB, making it suitable for bedrooms. Portable and easy to move, it offers multiple heat settings and modes including Power, ECO, and Fan Only.

Additional features include a 12-hour timer, child lock, memory function, and an upgraded silk-screened control panel for clear visibility. For something else, shoppers can look at the variety from Dunelm, where the Daewoo Convector Heat with Turbo Timer is priced at £70.

It comes in white and black, and has three heat settings, an LCD display and a remote control. Those who prefer some movement can look at Argos’ Bush 1.5kW Digital Oscillating PTC Fan Heater which is £45.

This has two heat settings, and Argos says is suitable for a room size up to 20m². Additionally, the brand says it’s suited to floor standing and has a 1.5 metre cord length.

With a 4.6 star average out of a possible five, and just over 8,800 reviews, there is a lot of feedback on the Dreo heater. One person said: “Does work very well, worth the money, warmed my room up in less than 10 mins (big room with ensuite) and then same with dad’s room (his room is way small) it heated within 4-5 minutes. “

Someone else said: “I love this, it gets the room warm, using the eco setting, it turns on and off to keep the temperature at the degree level set. Comes with a handy remote control which can adjust the temp or turn on and off. Great value for money and is very quiet. Definitely recommend this product.”

A third shopper was impressed by how much power this heater has, saying in their review: “This is impressive. I’m waiting for my boiler to be replaced and decided to buy this until it is. I wasn’t expecting so much power. My sitting room is quite big but this heats it much faster than I anticipated. The same goes for the dining room. The different speeds and heats are easy to control and it has quite a few safety features. A few years ago I bought another small heater for less money. It was effective, but didn’t last. Hopefully this will stay the course because it’s sturdier. This is very quiet, too, so I’m happy with the result.”

One shopper explained their four-star review saying: “This is a great product. It generates heat really fast. It looks great and is compact so ideal for a counter top. Would have given 5 stars except I ordered the gold version and received the silver one. Little disappointed.”

While another said: “Good heater and definitely takes the chill off a room without putting the heating on. Would just be even better if it rotated.”
