Yes, so I have bought a heater from Tesco! (see previous entry)

Being new to cold weather, I was warned by many of my friends here that it is essential to have a heater in the house to keep warm against the cold. I did to some research on my own and decided to buy one when I came back from my home trip.

There are quite a number of choices to choose from in Tesco, and I have a hard time deciding which is one that is for me. There are the flat ones, the fan-looking ones, those that rotate, those that turn etc..

Initially, the salesman at Tesco recommended me the fan kind, and I had thought maybe it would be better. But I realised that it is better that I have one that is handy to move around than one that looks like a fan, and so I bought this:

This is how the actual heater looks like

The back, where there is a handle and a switch to turn on the rotation.

The top, to select temperature and wind speed.

The front, where obviously the heat comes from.

The heater costs RMB169, and the brand is called SINGFUN 先锋， and it supposedly uses a cereamic heat-emitting device to conduct heat. The heater can be heated up to 1800W, but I did read somewher that a guy bought another heater, had it turn on till 1000W heat and it warms up the room. I am going to believe that it can happen to mine :)

So stay tune to this space as I update you with the effectiveness of the heater!
