Lidl has unveiled a new affordable heater (that doubles up as a fan) that is about to go on sale with the budget retailer for less than £20, the Liverpool Echo reports.

Many of us are trying to find cheaper alternatives to stay warm and comfortable - especially as the energy prices don't show signs of slowing down and it continues to get colder. Lidl says its new heater means customers can "can cosy up on the sofa without breaking the bank".

Lidl's Silvercrest Ceramic Fan Heater lands in stores on Thursday, December 22. It comes after temperatures in the UK fell to as low as -11C. The heater has two adjustable settings, with the lower setting costing just over 20p an hour to use, and the higher coming in at 41p per hour.

The product also doubles as a fan for the warmer months - but obviously, that's quite a way off and you'll be using the warm function for the foreseeable. With a handy portable handle, it can also be taken outside of the home, for those spending the festive season away.

The item will be available in stores from Thursday, retailing at £19.99 each.
