Shoppers wanting to give their home a 'warm glow' without the need for a log burning fireplace have been left delighted by a flame effect fireside electric heater that 'adds warmth to any room in the home'. Now temperatures are dropping, the Table Top Electric Fireplace Heater is being snapped up as it is on sale at Debenhams - originally £71.99 it has been reduced to £47.99.

Designed to create a beautiful ambience all while keeping you toasty, the faux flame effect makes the chic heater an eye-catching piece in your living room, bedroom, office and more. Available in black or white, it is compact in size so can even be put onto a bedside table or desk.

The flame effect can be used individually from the heating function if you want a fireside atmosphere while reading a book or watching the TV and the head is rotatable to suit your preference. Shoppers claim it has a 'nice flow of hot air' that 'warms the room in minutes' and have been left reassured thanks to an automatic shut-off feature if it happens to fall over or the internal temperature gets too hot.

The freestanding fireplace heater has a rotary switch for controlling the temperature, so changing the setting should be quick and easy. As well as emitting heat, the flame effect gives off a pleasant light providing a gentle rolling fire all year long. A stylish circular design is a welcome feature compared to other more clunky styles, making it an elegant as well as practical addition to your home this season.

One happy customer wrote: "LOVE this! I'd been looking for a small and compact electrical heater for AGES and this one didn't disappoint. Gives a cosy feel to the room and has good heat output." However they did go on to add that 'the fan can be a little noisy, but I actually like the noise!'

The same sentiment was echoed by this shopper who despite finding the device a little loud, still gave it four stars. They said: "This a good bit of kit. It looks good with a bright fire-like flame effect.

"It will probably heat up a small room but I simply just use it to heat up me when reading, gaming, or watching TV because, although you can keep warm by wearing lots of clothes, you can't keep your hands and face warm. It can be a bit noisy, being a fan heater, but it doesn't distract me from what I am doing. Perfect for my needs!"

A third user was impressed with the appearance of the heater, sharing: "I am delighted with its heating performance along with a flame that is so realistic as to seem indistinguishable from the real thing. With its small wisps of "smoke", it really does live up to its description."

Dunelm is also selling a faux flame heater that they claim costs 45p an hour to run. The Traditional Small Stove boasts an adjustable brightness and thermostatic temperature control and you can grab one for £80.

Those wanting a contemporary design should consider Amazon's £69.99 Oscillating Tower Fan Heater with Fireplace. With a snug fireplace vibe it has earned an average review score of four out of five by more than 500 customers.
