Cranking up the heat in your home is one way to keep warm, but your energy bill might reflect that. If you have one, lighting up the fireplace can be a fun way to stay warm, but it can’t be left going for long. And neither of these options work if you’re freezing in your office. An easy way to stay warm, whether you’re at home or in the office, is to choose the right space heater—which has the bonus of not hiking up your electricity bill. The Amazon Basics Electric Space Heater is a powerful personal space heater and is available starting at $18. Without temperature control, the 500-watt personal mini heater stands at just 6.3 inches tall. The mini size and easy plug-in ensure that the heater can easily be moved around the house where you need warmth most. The perfect size for sitting on desktops and tables, the space heater is best utilized in a particularly cold spot of the home or the office. Amazon Buy It: Amazon Basics Electric Space Heater, (from $18, Amazon) One of the over 17,600 users that gave the personal heater a five-star rating lives in Iowa and left a review remarking on the state’s “freezing cold winters.” Needing a little extra heat at night, the reviewer uses the heater to heat their whole room. The process takes about an hour, but once it’s warm, the heater has no problem “maintaining the warmth all night, even when temperatures get below zero.” Unlike other heaters, the personal heater uses ceramic coils which conduct heat much quicker, warming up in just seconds. Small but mighty, the Amazon heater works well for small rooms. Another reviewer wrote that the heater does a speedy job of heating their “icebox office,” and they enjoy that it “can bring the temperature up fast,” that it “doesn't take up too much space,” and that the “outer shell doesn't get too warm.” The heater has three heat settings and a thermostat to help keep your space perfectly toasty. However, if you want better regulation, consider ordering the space heater model that comes with temperature control.
