I've just seen Martin Lewis advising a heated body warmer on morning tv instead of electric heater.
Can anyone please give any suggestions as to where to purchase and how well they work? Found lots on Amazon, but not sure which is best.
thanks

sorted byi use a battery when moving in the house or connect it via usb extension cable when sat at my desk
i just bought a few more from amazon warehouse for family
i got mine from there as (a) cheaper (b) probably easier to send back to amazon
the main problem is sizing. i've tended to go for ones where the reviews say "fits your usual size" rather than "need a size up" and the gamble that requires
eg are they designed for western size or chinese sizes
here's some i've got on my wishlist
i think a heated neck is supposed to be good. will test that one out soon as just arrived

So compared to a coat with a little more insulation then what are they achieving? It doesn't seem like they'd warm any areas of your body a normal coat won't warm and while they might be a bit thinner as they can get away with less insulation, they're also heavier and have running costs and maintenance (charging the battery every few hours).
They clearly have niches but for saving money they seem like a worse idea than a normal coat.
Similar to this, but I don't know if it's the cheapest option out there. I bought it for around £10 as mentioned so maybe worth looking around. (edited)
