As energy costs remain high, households across the nation are on the hunt for alternative methods to stay snug without cranking up the central heating. A savvy approach is to heat only the room you're using instead of the entire home.

Dunelm customers are raving about a chic Chiminea Style Flame Effect Heater that "heats the room so quickly". Priced at £100, this stylish appliance is available in black or white and boasts a comforting flame effect.

It features a realistic appearance, thermostatic temperature control, and a safety cut-off mechanism for added security. The energy-efficient heater can warm an area between 20-30m2.

With an impressive average score of 4.4 out of 5 stars, shoppers have been largely positive. One satisfied customer remarked: "Perfect, heats the room so quickly and looks good. Would definitely recommend."

Another praised its design: "This is a fabulous modern Scandi-chic designed A-rated heater which goes well in our newly designed and decorated room", reports the Mirror.

A third chimed in with enthusiasm: "Absolutely love this heater, looks really good makes you feel all cosy without the heating on."

Nonetheless, not all feedback was glowing; one less content buyer commented: "It looks lovely and provides a nice ambience but it's just a noisy fan heater. Really disappointed with it. I decided to keep it as I don't have time to pack and return it but only use it for the ambience, not for the heating element, as it's just an annoying fan heater noise."

Another disgruntled customer voiced their dissatisfaction, saying: "Very disappointed with how loud the fan in this heater is. The fan, even on quiet setting, is too loud to comfortably hear the television or have a conversation."
