Forget the thermostat, these fast, compact heaters will keep your home cosy for less

You deserve to feel cosy at home, even when you're trying to keep the heating and energy bills as low as possible. Whether you're working, settling down with a book in the evening, or trying to keep the chill at bay, a portable heater can be a smart way to stay cosy for longer without reaching for the thermostat.

That's where Meaco's new Grisos range comes in. Best known for its impressive dehumidifiers and fans, the brand has launched two new heaters designed to warm the spaces you're actually using, rather than the entire house. With speedy heating, adaptable power usage and a focus on keeping running costs down, they're a big help if you want to make the colder months more comfortable without switching on your central heating every time you feel a chill.

Portable heaters, whether electric or oil-filled, can be an effective way to stay cosy without turning on the heating. However, choosing the right model matters, particularly if you're balancing comfort with energy costs. Not all heaters are made equally, so it's worth looking at what Meaco's new range has to offer.

Meaco Grisos Heater Launch

If you're holding out for the perfect time to turn your heating on, these little heaters might be the hack that gives you a few extra weeks. The Meaco Grisos heaters are designed to use PTC ceramic heat, which means they warm up quickly. I'm not being dramatic when I say the heat coming off these is instant when you press the on button. It's exceptional.

Rather than blast you with one power setting, they have automatic heat controls and in "auto mode" they reduce power as the room warms up. It's a clever way to stay comfortable without the heater working harder than it needs to (saving your energy bills too.

The airflow is also just as important when it comes to warming a room. The adjustable Air Bean precision directs warmth wherever you want it, whether that's your feet under the desk, the sofa in the evenings, or a chilly corner. Even better, it's quiet whilst doing it, so you can take calls, read, and wind down in peace. They take it another step further with "calm mode" which runs quietly with no lights or beeps for minimal disturbance.

Meaco’s Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer, Chris Michael, says, "with Grisos, we wanted to make everyday decisions easier, helping people stay comfortable while managing their heating costs." He adds, " heating the room you are using gives people more choice about when and where they use energy, whether they are working from home or relaxing in the evening."

If safety often plays on your mind with heaters, you're not alone. Meaco has meticulously run through measures, so that there's a tilt-switch protection, thermal overload protection, a heat-resistant grille, and fire-rated enclosure around the circuit board. And if you're worried you'll fall asleep or forget to turn yours off, the Meaco Grisos heaters have an automatic switch-off after eight hours as well as on and off timers too.

It's also worth noting that Meaco offers a five year guarentee on all of their heaters. a promise that Chris says "no other heating manufacturer offers." He explains that it's "a commitment to heating performance for the full five years, giving customers confidence that they can depend on their heater for years to come.”

How do the Meaco Grisos Heaters compare?

Both heaters share the same core strengths, so the choice comes down to how much intelligence you want from your heater. The Grisos 1.5kW is the straightforward, great-value choice. It’s ideal for a bedroom, a small living room or a home office, where you want fast, controllable warmth without fuss.

The Grisos Smart 2kW is the one for those who like a heater that thinks for itself. It senses presence and motion as well as open windows, and its remote control has an integrated thermostat, so it adapts to how you actually use the room. If you’re forever popping in and out, or you’d like it to stop heating when a window is open, that extra intelligence could pay for itself.

Heating only the room you’re in is one of the simplest ways to feel cosy at home and more in control this winter, and the Grisos range makes it feel easy. With fast, quiet, ceramic heat, thoughtful safety features and a five-year warranty that Meaco says no other heater maker matches, both models offer real reassurance.

If you want dependable warmth for a smaller space, the Grisos 1.5kW at £69.99 is a smart buy. If you’d like a heater that adapts to you, the Grisos Smart 2kW at £129.99 is well worth the extra.
