Mr. Tam, an employee at HC supermarket, said that the number of devices sold at some stores has increased to hundreds of units per day. It is not because of increased demand that we have increased prices. On the contrary, some items have been discounted by 10% - 15% to stimulate consumption because the cold weather is not expected to last long.

Along with heaters, many people buy warm blankets to cope with the cold.
According to recommendations, the main disadvantage of heating lamps and fan heaters is that they burn oxygen, making the air dry and the heating area small. Therefore, if you use this device regularly, you are susceptible to respiratory diseases and dry skin, especially in families with infants or young children, the elderly, and people with a history of respiratory diseases. When using fan and heater devices, you should turn on the heater in the room for 10-15 minutes before going to bed. Do not place the lamp or fan heater directly on the bed, there should be a barrier to isolate the device, it is best to place the lamp or fan in a different direction from the person lying down with a distance of 2-3 meters. Fans and heaters should be used for families with adults, airy rooms and should be combined with a humidifier.
