Advantages: produces instant heat, lightweight, low energy costs, safe Disadvantages: the plastic finish does look a bit cheap
...In the interim period after moving into our new home and the installation of a new gas central heating system we found that the house would drop to sub-zero temperatures resulting in many layers of clothes, hugging like penguins and inevitably running frost bitten noses. As a solution we looked at oil filled radiators that could be plugged in as well as conventional fan heaters that blow out air warmed by a filament. Both of these solutions proved to be considerably more expensive than a Halogen solution, and the purchase of three Igenix1.2 KWHalogenHeaters were purchased from Wilkinsons for only £8.99 each. Bought online they retail for around £20 each so a real saving was made and it worked out at around £75 cheaper than using oil filled radiators.
Standing 60cm high and 30cm wide the heater produces thermal energy from three...

Advantages: Cheap to buy, portable, flexible, economical to run. Disadvantages: Bright bulbs, short cable.
...● I live in the back end of beyond. We do not have a gas supply, let alone broadband.
● Heating one's house using Economy 7 storage heaters may well be cheap, but it is gosh-darned inflexible.
● My conservatory-come-utility room – a labour of DIY love by a previous house owner – has a tendency to damp.
These are the reasons I went shopping in search of a heater. I perused the aisles. I considered fan heaters, convector heaters, all the heaters on the shelves. And I came back with Kingavon's 1200kwHalogenHeater. Oh, the excitement of it all. It's about knee-height and erm… gosh. It's a little, freestanding heater. Look at the picture above. That's what it looks like. It's an off-white plastic, and it's very light to carry, but reasonably sturdy when you put it down. It's hardly an icon of modern design...

Advantages: Cheap to have on heats room nicely Disadvantages: None
...This halogenheater is great and it is cheap to buy. I bought this heater when it had just started coming out and it cost me £14.99 (you could get them cheaper now) when you have the heater on it only uses about 4p an hour so you are saving a bit on your electricity. This halogenheater is 1200 watts and it is great youu have 3 buttons that operate the wattage one of which is also your on off switch and is one bar. The other 2 put it on 2 and the 3 bars but usually you only need it on 1 bar because it soon gets warm. There is a 4th button which if you press it it rotates the fire.
With the heater if it falls over it shuts itself off so it doesn't set your property on fire. When i have my heater on it is that bright that i don't need to put my main light on to watch the telly.
The halogenheater heats the room up well nd it is a very...

"A soundtrack for a Star Wars novel?"
At first glance -- or first listen -- it seems an odd idea. Scores are composed for movies, TV programmes, and sometimes stage plays. But for books?
Then again, quite a few classical music compositions are... more
