Cold feet? Snag this 'cute and functional' space heater while it's down to $26

We haven't yet reached peak frigidness, but you don't want to be left out in the cold once those temps plummet. Now's the time to equip your home with all things toasty, from snuggle-worthy electric blankets to glowy candles. Oh, and don't forget a space heater! But they're so ugly, you might be thinking. And yes, many are — but not the Gaiatop Space Heater. This little wonder might be one of the most aesthetically pleasing household appliances we've come across, with its wooden legs and minimalist design. But while it might look like a million bucks, it's currently 35% off at Amazon.

A space heater that looks this good, for this price? Shiver me timbers!

Why is it a good deal? 💰

If you tend to run up a high gas or electricity bill due to having the heat on 24/7, this small appliance is a more economical option, since it can be used in individual rooms as needed (and warms up more quickly than many standard heaters). This is also the best price we've seen it on sale for in months, and it's unlikely to dip lower as the temps get chillier. (Note: Prices vary slightly by color.)

Why do I need this? 🤔

Being attractive is one thing, but how well does the Gaiatop Space Heater work? Turns out, it's quite powerful for its size. It has two heat modes — 1000-watt high heat and 600-watt medium heat, both of which take just seconds to kick in. But it also has a cooling fan mode, meaning this isn't a machine you'll only pull out for a few months.

At 6.3 inches tall and just over 2 pounds, it's incredibly portable, making it a cinch to bring from room to room. And, most importantly, its safety features include overheating protection, as well as automatic shutoff should it tip over. Oh, and your floors will be in good hands, seeing as its legs have nonscratching silicone feet. Is there anything they didn't think of?

What reviewers say 💬

More than 2,000 Amazon customers are staying cozy with this compact heater.

Pros 👍

"So cute and functional!" exclaimed one happy buyer. "I don't know if it's the temperature in my office or my body temperature that's difficult to regulate, but this little fan/heater is a lifesaver. I like how small it is and that it's not an eyesore. I like that it has two settings for heat and a fan. ... It's not totally silent, but it's pretty quiet. It's quiet enough that I leave it on while I'm in Zoom meetings, and it's never been an issue. I've had it for a few months now, and it works really well!"

"[I] got it for my home office and it works amazingly," raved another. "The safety feature of turning off after it's knocked down has saved my house so many times with the cats being in and out all day."

"I love this little gadget," swooned a third. "I've been trying to rely less on propane heating and this does the trick. ... I'll be saving a ton of money this winter. Would recommend."

Cons 👎

"Small but mighty," wrote a mostly satisfied shopper. "Low noise. ... Only complaint is [the] lack of dials for temperature control. But it will definitely heat up a medium-sized room with no problem."

"It is on the smaller side, but my home is small so this works great," shared a final fan. "[The] only thing is I wish the cord was longer! It works really well and heats up the room quickly. The cool fan is nice too."

Cuddle up with this top-rated wrap, which is made of soft flannel and has three heat settings. At 50" x 60" it's large enough for two, and if you're worried about falling asleep, it turns itself off after four hours. 

"I lost my job and had to keep my electric and gas costs down by keeping my apartment at 55° in the winter, and as a result, I was obviously very cold," said one reviewer. "This heated blanket saved me. It's so comfortable and soft and I didn't need another blanket with it, just had it under my comforter. Uses very little electricity and warms up quickly. Also, it warmed my whole body so I didn't even need gloves or a hat."
