About this deal

The only downsides to this hand warmer are its poorly translated instructions as well as the number of buttons it has. These two characteristics somewhat hinder its intuitiveness and took some time for us to become familiar with the product and what it was capable of. Pinning down an exact comparison of how much central heating and electric heaters cost to run is nigh-on impossible, as the factors below are just some of the variables that play a part: As well as being a versatile unit, the Dimplex MaxAir is also pretty attractive, so you’ll have no problem leaving this product out in your home throughout the year. These hand warmers also heat up in under 10 seconds and maintain consistent heat throughout their use. They even offer three temperature settings and have a convenient carrying case and lanyard, which make them easy to use. That said, they do get extremely hot. Portable electric heaters use electricity, which costs 28.62p/kWh under the current energy price cap. Depending on how effective the heater is, they can take anything from 30 minutes to an hour to notably raise the temperature of a medium-sized room, so if you're only planning on using it until the room gets up to temperature, it will likely cost you between 28 and 57p.

If you are looking for toasty products to help alleviate muscle pain, we’ve also researched the best heated gilets and hand warmers Mumsnet users recommend. How we chose the best foot warmers and heated slippers to 4.7 stars: These rechargeable hand warmers are excellent—they might have minor flaws, but we still recommend them. HotSnapZ require 10 minutes in boiling water to recharge We got our hands on a variety of hand warmers, measured their activated heat temperature with a meat thermometer, and used each in chilly winter weather; (photo/Matt Bento) How We Tested Hand WarmersWe’re no longer limited to disposable warmers, as there are now several alternatives to the old standbys, including very effective, rechargeable hand warmers. It is never a bad idea to have a few disposable hand warmers in your glove box, but if you’re someone who uses them on a regular basis during the winter, something like the Zippo Heat Bank 9 is a worthwhile investment, as it provides more heat for longer durations than the disposable types, and you’ll create less waste. Any person with fragile or thin skin needs to be careful using hand warmers because they are more prone to injury,” Gupta adds. “You also should not fall asleep using them. And you would not want to use a hand warmer if you have an acute traumatic injury. In those situations, ice or cold is more beneficial than heat.”

That said, these gloves run a bit big and may not be suitable for small hands, especially if you intend to use them for sports like cross-country or downhill skiing. They also have a large power button that is located on the front of the glove that could get pushed by accident during vigorous outdoor activities. They’re also pricey, which might be worth it if you use them frequently, but for occasional use, it’s probably not worth it. Editor Matt Bento headed up the latest round of testing. With five varieties in hand, he brought them hiking and climbing in the High Sierra, even leaving an Ignik warmer in his chalk bag for some on-demand heat while sport climbing. He also enlisted friends to use them while watching the local football games and working on their vehicles in the cold. The Zippo Heat Bank 9 is a great alternative to traditional disposable hand warmers; (photo/Matt Bento) Buyer’s Guide: How to Choose the Best Hand Warmers Types of Hand Warmers During our testing, we read the instructions and rated how intuitive each device was. What they discovered is that many of the hand warmers we recommend are often self-explanatory and do not require a big learning curve, or they contain a relatively simple and straightforward instruction manual. Even those with multiple buttons or settings were relatively easy to use. This heater doesn’t have the power to affect the temperature of an entire room, but if you want a relatively cheap way to keep yourself warm, it’s a great choice.Unusually, there’s an IR motion sensor, which lets the heater turn on automatically when motion is detected. This could be useful in a rarely used room, such as a garage or other outbuilding. Positioning is important, though, as this heater only has a 1m motion detection range. A great occasional heater for small rooms, or for boats and caravans that can take the peak 3kW power drain, the MeacoHeat MotionMove Eye 2.0kW is a well-made and attractive fan heater. Fan heaters tend to be ugly, large, or both. The De’Longhi Capsule Fit Fan Heater is different, as it’s been built to look great, and its small body can be stood horizontally or vertically, giving a wider range of places it can be placed in. We found it best to stand this heater on a sideboard or a table. Central heating is much more effective at maintaining a stable temperature over a longer period, whereas the heat from an electric heater will soon dissipate if the rest of your home is cold.

We feel the majority of folks are going to feel like keeping lighter fluid on hand and the potential mess of filling it up is too much hassle, and they should go with the rechargeable model. But Zippo could be useful for folks at hunting camps or other scenarios without access to electricity. Disposable Make sure [you buy from] a reputable manufacturer,” suggests Wunderman. “This is important for anyone buying a rechargeable hand warmer or any heated accessory or apparel. If the manufacturer takes shortcuts in the materials or production process that could result in overcharging or overheating or can’t be found to stand by a warranty on the unit, it’s not worth the savings.” You also should pay attention to the temperature ranges the device offers. Some hand warmers can get extremely hot and may not be a good choice for people with sensitive skin or nerve damage in their hands because they could get burned by excessive heat, especially if the devices are not handled with care.

Some folks are just looking for added comfort, but for people dealing with Raynaud’s syndrome or poor circulation, keeping your hands warm is critical in daily life during colder months. Maintaining dexterity is key for many outdoor activities, from tying on a fishing lure to general vehicle maintenance. So consider this when you’re looking at what you need and how much you’re looking to spend. Electric I used my portable hand warmer when I went to a Notre Dame game recently,” says Bring. “It was cold—probably about 7 degrees outside and even colder with the wind chill. But my hands stayed warm even though I was out there for more than eight hours. Hand warmers also can prevent cold injuries when you are going to be in extreme conditions for an extended period of time.” In our tests, we set every heater to run at full blast so you can see the maximum amount it cost to heat our medium-sized test room. If you have the thermostat of your heater set to a desired temperature, the heater will toggle on and off once it reaches that temperature – depending on what's needed to maintain it. The heater won't operate continuously, so won't cost you as much to run. Are electric heaters cheaper to use than central heating? We found that this fan took 20mins on maximum to take a cold office from 14°C to a more comfortable 19°C. It was also quiet at 44dB.
