BARGAIN lovers are in a frenzy over a £17 Amazon gadget that will heat your home for just 30p an hour.
Summer now appears to be well and truly over, and many of us have likely been struggling to keep warm this week as we are battered with a deluge of wind and rain.

It may be tempting to turn the heating on at the first sign of autumn, however with energy bills having risen from October 1 and the Winter Fuel Payment scrapped for millions this is not an affordable option for countless Britons.
However, there are plenty of other ways you can keep nice and cosy, such as Amazon’s Ceramic Plug in Fan Heater, which is priced at just £17.45
The tiny 1200w heater comes in two colours, white and blue, and takes just three seconds to heat up.
It also has protection from overheating, and has a wide angle air supply, meaning that it heats up your entire room.
The heater has both a low heat and a high heat mode, and the adjustable thermostat can automatically regulate the room temperature.
It is also super tiny, measuring just 7.8 x 5 x 4.6 inches meaning that you can place it in any room, without it taking up space.A
A description on the Amazon website reads: “Using advanced ceramic heating element, which can heat up quickly in 1S, high speed turbine, fully improve the heat dissipation efficiency.
“Ceramic heating is safer and more energy efficient than electric heat pipe heaters, and with intelligent constant temperature function, say goodbye to sudden cold.”
Amazon lovers have raced to the review section of the website to share their love for the heater.
One person said: ” I have used the lower setting, which seems to run at about 30p an hour …way cheaper than having my central heating on.
“Even on the lower setting it does warm the room pretty quickly and after an hour it can be turned off and the room stays tolerable.”
A second person said: “I bought one to try out and it worked so well I bought another two.
“Perfect for an instant blast of heat.”
4 ways to keep your energy bills low
Laura Court-Jones, Small Business Editor at Bionic shared her tips.
1. Turn your heating down by one degree
You probably won’t even notice this tiny temperature difference, but what you will notice is a saving on your energy bills as a result. Just taking your thermostat down a notch is a quick way to start saving fast. This one small action only takes seconds to carry out and could potentially slash your heating bills by £171.70.
2. Switch appliances and lights off
It sounds simple, but fully turning off appliances and lights that are not in use can reduce your energy bills, especially in winter. Turning off lights and appliances when they are not in use, can save you up to £20 a year on your energy bills
3. Install a smart meter
Smart meters are a great way to keep control over your energy use, largely because they allow you to see where and when your gas and electricity is being used.
4. Consider switching energy supplier
No matter how happy you are with your current energy supplier, they may not be providing you with the best deals, especially if you’ve let a fixed-rate contract expire without arranging a new one. If you haven’t browsed any alternative tariffs lately, then you may not be aware that there are better options out there.
A third person added: “Love these, especially now with fuel costs so high.
“We’ve bought four. They heat the smaller rooms up in a jiffy. Well worth the money”
A fourth added: “The heater heats up the room so fast. I have been suffering with an old heater and this has been a lifesaver.”
