4 . Don’t like getting out of the shower on cold mornings? Are you feeling that cold wind when working or trying to relax?
The biggest issue that people have is the fact that most old-fashioned heaters are big, cost a lot to run and waste energy. Luckily, a company has recently just developed a product which saves a ton of power during its operation and is, above all, smart and easy to use! It’s called HotixPro and it’s a very small, powerful heater that consumes much less energy than regular heaters.
How Does HotixPro Work?
The ceramic element (陶瓷零件) stays warm 30% longer, so it doesn’t have to use much power to reheat over and over again. The fan inside HotixPro then sucks the air out through the hot ceramic element and distributes it evenly throughout the room! It can heat a room up to 250 square feet and make it warmer in a few minutes, for just pennies.
What Makes It So Special?
One of the amazing features it has is the programmable timer. You can program it and warm up your bathroom before you wake up. Also, its remote controller makes it very easy to adjust the temperature. The company also kept safety in mind in the creation process——they added a sensor which makes HotixPro stop completely if it becomes too hot.
Is It Worth It?
Don’t let your quality of life continue to suffer. Save on expensive energy costs and keep warm during the winter anywhere! Purchase HotixPro at half price with free worldwide shipping!
