So much choice, so little time? Here are some of the top-sellers on Tmall and JD.com

This ceramic fan-assisted heater is super light (1.3kg), powerful (1,800W) and portable. As for extras: one function will shut off the heater and sound an alarm if it tips over and another automatically warms up the heater if temperatures drop below freezing. Find it on tmall.com (519RMB).

One you can use all year round, this tower heater also has a cooling function for summer months. It warms up quickly and its fan blade is designed to keep noise to a minimum. Plus, its temperature gauge makes sure your room is within two degrees of a set temperature. Find it on jd.com (899RMB).

Marketed as a bit of a wonder heater for direct heat (said to be made of waterproof and fireproof materials), this multi-functional unit is designed for use anywhere in the house, including the bathroom where it's arguably most useful – just hang the thing on a towel rail and begin reaping the benefits of instant hot air. Find it on tmall.com (229RMB). 

The honeycomb shape of this oil radiator is meant to help release heat more evenly than traditional rectangular ones, it has a humidifier to help beat winter dryness and it claims to heat up spaces as big as 30sqm. Find it on tmall.com (849RMB).

Made in France, the Noirot convector is extremely quiet and waterproof (so you can wheel it into the bathroom). Though a bit expensive, you won’t get that dryness you’d often get from AC. Find it on tmall.com (3,100RMB). 

Really upping the cosy vibes, this baseboard heater has an LED screen displaying flickering flames while it quietly heats up the living room (and other larger areas). Not feeling the faux-fire look today? You can turn off the display whenever you want. Find it on tmall.com (1,599RMB).
