Home Bargains is selling a heater with a 24 hour timer that keeps homes ‘warm and cosy’
Summer is in the rear-view mirror, and with cold weather set to make a return in the coming months with winter on the horizon, many of the UK’s major retailers are selling affordable heaters to help keep homes warm. Home Bargains is no different with the high street brand selling a product that looks almost identical to high-end alternatives available elsewhere.
The Pifco Convector Heater with Turbo & Timer retails for £29.99 and is described as “the perfect solution for your heating needs”. It is free-standing and compact in size, meaning you should be able to find a place for it, and boasts a simple white aesthetic so it shouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb.
Describing the product, Home Bargains said: “Stay warm and cosy with the Pifco Convector Heater! This lightweight, free-standing heater features a turbo fan for an extra heat boost, adjustable thermostat, and a handy 24-hour timer, ensuring your room is toasty when you need it most.
“This free-standing turbo convector is the perfect solution for your heating needs.

The fan helps to quickly and evenly distribute the heat throughout the room, while the adjustable thermostat allows you to maintain the desired temperature.

It bears a striking resemblance to the Prem-I-Air 2kW Convector Heater (£31.99) at Tesco and the BUSH DF2361 2KW Convector Heater with Timer (£35) at Argos. Both have a versatile, portable design that can be picked up and moved around, as well as multiple different heating settings for added flexibility.
The Tesco product description reads: “This contemporary 2kW Convector Heater from Prem-I-Air blends sleek design with practical heating features. Finished in matt graphite, it offers three heat settings (650W, 1250W, 2000W) via simple push button controls, a 24-hour timer for scheduled warmth, and a rotary thermostat for precise temperature control.
“Built-in overheat safety cut-out ensures safe operation. Floor-standing and stylish, it’s ideal for well-insulated rooms or occasional use in homes and small offices.”
Meanwhile, Argos explained: “When a room needs reliable warmth without the fuss, the Bush DF2361 convector heater delivers 2kW of straightforward heating power with an elegant, simple design that fits into any space. This freestanding heater gives you the freedom to move it wherever the chill strikes, with a 1.5m cord that reaches comfortably across the room – whether that’s your living room on a frosty evening or a bedroom that needs warming before bedtime.
“Three heat settings and an adjustable thermostat let you dial in exactly the temperature that suits you, whilst the built-in timer means you can set it and forget it without worrying about leaving it running all day. The safety cut-out prevents overheating, and the tip-over protection switch kicks in if it gets knocked, giving you peace of mind whether you’re working from home or just getting on with your day. At just 2.8kg and measuring 52.8cm wide, it’s light enough to carry from room to room and compact enough to tuck away when the weather warms up.”
