Hi Y’all! I am feeling a bit under the weather today (not
like totally just a stuffy nose and slight sore throat). Being sick in the city
is kind of the worst because of the face paced environment. I have an amazing
manager and really nice co-workers so they make me feel better! But still I
feel bad going to work not being 100% luckily it’s a bit slow for us.
Anyways today I thought I would come to you with a great/cheap
buy if you (like me) feel you sleep/live in an igloo as opposed to an
apartment!
Depending on what part of NYC you live in, you could either
live in a tiny apartment where your bed barely fits or some elegant spacious room with a beautiful view (and anything in between). I live in one
of the outer borough’s in a walk up (rent is so much cheaper and I live in a
super safe area!). It is a decently nice apartment, and my roommate has
furnished the place beautiful.
vs.
My room is on the smaller side (decently sized for NYC), but
my room contains the door that leads to our rooftop. I think because of that
door I get some of the cold draft, so it can get chilly at nights even with the
heating system on. In order to fix this problem, I decided to invest (lol this
thing is so cheap I can hardly call it an investment) in a heater (link at the
end).
The heater I will be discussing is the Lasko 754200 Ceramic
Heater with Adjustable Thermostat.
The heater is relatively small a couple of size comparisons
would be that it is smaller than my short boot hunters, about the size of a
medium Tsum Tsum standing up and a little bit bigger than a six pack of beer
(great comparisons I know!!!). I love the compact size because it doesn’t take
up a lot of space in my room, and I can move it around easily if I get too hot.
For being a small guy, this heater has the strength of an
ox. It is definitely the little heater that could. It has two heating settings
(1 not so strong, 2 super strong) and 1 fan setting (which is kind of weak but
I bought this for the heating not the fan).
I put it on 2 as soon as I come home, and it heats my room
up in about 20 minutes. At this point, I put it to 1 so it’s just a mild heat
(so I don’t feel like I am roasting). Depending on how cold it is I either
leave it at 1 for the night or just turn it off. I am seriously amazed at how
fast this thing heats your room! You have to make sure not to set it up against a wall because it sucks up air from the back (so you wouldn't want to obstruct this process).
This heater is a great solution for those living in
apartments with not the best heating system. It is like a mini fireplace, and
it is super cheap ($25 and free amazon shipping! Link below is not affiliate,
just a normal old link).
I think this goes without saying, but be careful of touching it when it is on!!! It gets SUPER hot that it will burn a bit if you touch it. Also be careful if you set it near your bed frame (and the bed frame is metal). The metal will get hot and it might burn if you touch it too. Just don't be an idiot like me. :)
Overall: I give it a 5/5 feel free to read other Amazon
Reviews, but it has my seal of approval. As Always stay safe and warm!!
