About this product
The DDHTSAL Portable Mini Electric Heater offers a compact solution for creating warmth in smaller spaces. This electric heater features a 900W heating element utilising an advanced PTC ceramic system to deliver rapid heat – approximately 2 seconds to reach its maximum temperature. It’s designed with three distinct modes: a high-temperature setting for quick warming, a low-temperature setting for stable warmth, and a gentle natural wind mode.
Safety is a key feature of this space heater, incorporating precise tipping protection that automatically shuts off the device if it's tilted beyond 15 degrees, alongside reliable overheating protection which activates when the internal temperature reaches 100°C and resumes operation after cooling down. The unit operates at a quiet level of 45dB thanks to its optimised fan design, making it suitable for use in bedrooms, offices, or dorm rooms without disturbance.
Measuring 10.3D x 26.2W x 11H centimetres and weighing just 0.8 kilograms with a grooved handle, the heater is designed to be easily portable. The compact size – ideal for fitting on desks or shelves – makes it a convenient companion for various locations including bedrooms, study rooms and small offices. This heater utilises a 220V power supply with an amperage of 16A and a maximum temperature setting of 100°C.
